The Credentials of a Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 146

Is he really a child, or is he just pretending to be one?

Though it wasn’t common to see a child who didn’t age, having experienced such a case before myself, I couldn’t entirely dismiss my suspicions. After all, unless someone witnessed it firsthand like I had, no one would suspect that the person wandering the streets in a child’s form was actually a trusted retainer of the Deposed Prince.

I clasped my hands together as I looked at the boy whose true age I simply couldn’t discern. Though I was genuinely curious whether he was truly a child, I had a far more pressing matter on my mind.

“I’ve kept my promise, so please relay to His Majesty that it’s now his turn.”

Regardless of our conversation, I continued writing medical notes as usual. The boy watched the words I penned intently for a while before giving a short nod.

“I’ve already delivered your message.”

“Then I suppose I can expect a response as well.”

“His Majesty has decided to relocate you to his current residence.”

Though the subject was omitted, I immediately knew who the boy was referring to. I had been waiting for this moment all along.

Of course, it hadn’t been a joyful wait. Knowing full well I was being used, I had no choice but to make proposals that suited the Deposed Prince’s tastes, carry them out, and submit to my enemy—it could hardly be called pleasant.

Moreover, despite claiming that Meriel was alive and that he had my daughter with him, the Deposed Prince had yet to show her to me. I was forced to believe Meriel was alive based solely on his word.

“……Is she doing well?”

“You’ll be able to see her once you’ve finished your current tasks and returned.”

“…….”

I wanted to ask about Meriel’s condition, but I knew I wouldn’t get an answer. The Deposed Prince never gave rewards before achieving satisfactory results, and he avoided revealing any information about Meriel whenever possible.
