By the way, I had forgotten for a moment, but what were you saying was difficult earlier? Is there something I can assist you with?”
Just as a warm atmosphere was being formed, Canis suddenly asked me.
Did I say something was difficult?
“Earlier? Ah.”
Right. I had been pondering how to meet Asphayren just until a moment ago.
It’s fortunate. Canis, being Asphayren’s closest confidant and a high-ranking guard captain in the castle, would likely know how to arrange a meeting with the lord.
I gladly poured out my concerns.
“I have something to discuss with the lord, but I don’t know how to meet him. Could you perhaps inform me how to request an audience?”
“Request an audience?”
Canis stroked his chin and sank deep into thought.
“Ordinary bureaucrats need to put their request through aides or servants, but Shuria, you can come straight to the office. You have a similar standing to Mr. Fromm, the head of the laboratory. Is it urgent?”
I nodded my head. Then Canis cheerfully said,
“Perfect timing! The lord happens to be nearby, overseeing the knights’ training in the training field. Let’s go together!”
“Now?”
“Yes! It’s urgent, isn’t it?”
“It is, but…”
But this is too sudden. Besides, I haven’t even planned how to persuade Asphayren yet!
But Canis didn’t give me the chance to refuse.
“Then let’s go, Shuria! I will guide you!”
Canis herded me toward the training field like a sheepdog. I had no choice but to follow him helplessly.
For some reason, my encounters with Canis always seem to end like this. Am I imagining it?
“So…you came to see me?”
At Asphayren’s question, both Canis and I nodded emphatically.
Asphayren sighed as if exhausted and wiped away his sweat. I swallowed my saliva.
‘Drenched… my favorite…’
Water droplets fell from his darkened wet hair.
His previously pale cheeks gained a bit of color, and the thin shirt sticking to his body displayed a perfectly balanced physique.
I stared at Asphayren without blinking, not wanting to miss a moment of this precious scene. Asphayren slightly grimaced.
Then he suddenly covered my head with a large towel nearby.
“Ah! I can’t see!”
“Lord? Why?”
Canis hurriedly removed the towel, aiding my struggle. At Canis’s question, Asphayren furrowed his brows again.
“…I just felt very uncomfortable.”
“You felt uncomfortable?”
“Enough. State your business.”
Asphayren tossed the sweaty towel aside and leaned against a tree with his arms crossed.
His impressive biceps became even more noticeable… Ah, that’s not the point.
I slapped my cheeks mentally. Having my favorite person right in front of me was making my eyes clouded with desire.
Before Asphayren kicks me out for annoying him, I quickly got to the point.
“I have come to seek a favor from you, my lord.”
“A favor?”
Asphayren pushed back his curly hair and asked. I took a small deep breath, placed my hands together, and stood respectfully.
“Lord, could you spare some time for me once a day?”
As I finished speaking, the knights who were training in the field suddenly shouted, “Woah!”
My eyes involuntarily turned their way. What’s going on? Did they see a squirrel? But there was nothing else in the training field.
Asphayren also turned his eyes toward the field. The knights who met eyes with Asphayren quieted down.
In an instant, Asphayren, who had settled the commotion, spoke to me.
“Continue speaking. Spare time, you say? What’s the reason?”
Fine. Now I have to persuade well. I recited the rough plan I had organized in my mind and began to speak.
“Because of the Moonlight Wolves. My Lord, you mentioned taking the Moonlight Wolves for exploration in Veltrium. To do so, we need regular interaction with others besides me.”
“Why?”
“I’ve been able to somewhat understand the nature of the Moonlight Wolves over the past two weeks. They show no interest in anyone outside their pack. So, to proceed with the exploration in sync, we must first enter their pack.”
“…….”
“But once they mature, it’s certain they won’t accept new members into their pack. So, we should start building a rapport from now, especially with you, My Lord, who are their owner.”
“……Hmm.”
Asphayren showed no particular reaction. Then, Canis intervened from beside him.
“Wouldn’t it be good for you, My Lord, to take time to walk the puppies at least once a day? You need a break. You’re overworking yourself.”
I nodded enthusiastically. Asphayren tapped his chin.
Finally, he spoke.
“Once a day is too much. Once a week.”
Once a week? Who’s that for? I objected.
“With that frequency, we won’t even be able to memorize their names, My Lord. How about five times?”
“No. I’m busy. Twice.”
“I understand you’re always occupied, My Lord. But twice is still too few. So, let’s negotiate to the maximum, how about four times?”
“What’s maximized about this? You’ve just aligned it with your wishes. Three times. No more.”
“I can’t back down any further, My Lord! Let’s do four times.”
“Three times.”
“Four times!”
