“Even if your Highness is in good health, it’s too much. The war ended not too long ago, and you shouldn’t overexert yourself.”

“……. ”

“Is it perhaps because of the young lady?”

Felix knew that Bellion visited the training ground whenever his emotions were complicated. And he also knew the reason behind his complicated emotions.

“What can I do? I can’t keep the young lady in my arms forever. It’s regrettable, but still, if it’s Lord Diamon, he is a groom highly regarded even within the Empire. Moreover, the young lady is also beautiful… if you like her that much….”

“……. ”
“Of course, in my eyes, Your Highness looks even more handsome. Well, it’s just my opinion. The young lady probably doesn’t truly understand Your Highness’s genuine beauty yet, considering the short time she’s been here.”

Felik quickly changed the subject as Bellion’s face worsened with each word. However, Bellion’s expression remained far from good.

“More importantly, it’s annoying.”

“Yes? What are you talking about?”

“I fed, put to sleep, and took care of it so diligently, but he’s taking it away.”

Felik chuckled at his words.

“That doesn’t mean you won’t send the young lady away.”

“……. ”

“Also, the words you just said, I feel like I’ve heard them somewhere.”

“Where.”

“Well, why. Hasn’t the gardener’s daughter recently not gotten married? It was at her wedding.”

“……. ”

“Just, something like that.”

Felik, who answered evasively, shrugged his shoulders. After a moment of silence, Bellion went up the stairs. Then Felik spoke again.

“Oh, Your Highness. I heard from the servants that Lord Diamon has arrived.”

Bellion’s head quickly turned at the news of Noah.

“Where is he?”

“According to the servants, he went straight to the young lady’s room as soon as he arrived.”

At that, Bellion’s eyes twinkled.

“Alone in the room?”

“Yes. At least, that’s what I know for now. I haven’t seen it myself; I heard it from the servants.”

“……. ”

“Your Highness. Reacting like this, are you really going to send the young lady away?”

Felik, as if knowing what Bellion was thinking, continued.

“You must know better than anyone that Lord Diamon is not someone who acts recklessly, Your Highness. Moreover, this is your mansion where you reside. Besides, it’s also the young lady who… I mean…”

Felik muttered without finishing what he intended to say about Delina.

“No, maybe she needs a bit of education….”

“?”

“Anyway, don’t worry too much. Your Highness, especially when you know that he’s coming. Surely, he wouldn’t do anything strange to the young lady unless he’s out of his mind. He can’t do that unless he’s completely insane.”

Speaking in an exaggerated manner, Felik reassured Bellion. Meanwhile, the two had arrived in front of Delina’s room. Felik knocked on the door.

“Young lady. It’s Felik. Your Highness is here too. May we come in?”

“……. ”

“Young lady?”

No matter how much he called, the room was as silent as a mouse. Feeling something was amiss, Felik knocked on the door once again, but the room remained silent. The face of Bellion behind him became increasingly darker, and consequently, Felik’s expression also became serious.

“We didn’t hear any reports that the two of them left the room.”

“……. ”

“It seems something….”

“Step aside.”

Bellion, who spoke in a low voice, quickly opened Delina’s door. As the door opened with a loud noise, Bellion and Felik swiftly entered the room.

“Young lady!”

Felik loudly called Delina. Bellion also looked around inside Delina’s room.

“Young la…?”

“……. ”
