Lenisha knew about Casius’s origin as well.
And she knew how Duke Lotera had hidden Casius.
So she could uncover it in reverse if she needed to.
‘Has a problem arisen?’
Casius had been staring at Lenisha in silence for an hour.
No, was he glaring at her or just unable to speak?
Lenisha finally closed the book she was reading.
“Did you meet the prince of Shamdir?”
“We’re meeting tomorrow.”
Casius replied, as if waiting for Lenisha to speak.
“I’ve made a promise with Prince Meteo, and we’ve agreed to dine together tomorrow evening.”
“Fortunately, you can meet him before we leave. There must be a reason why the prince of Shamdir has not yet departed. I think the reason might be me.”
“Aha.”
Casius nodded.
A very simple reaction, given that he waited to respond.
“……Do you have something to say?”
Lenisha asked Casius, who did not avert his gaze.
Casius’s Adam’s apple moved.
“Can we go out together after dinner tonight?”
Casius asked seriously.
“Going out? What needs to be done? Has something happened?”
This was the first time Casius had made such a request.
Until now, Casius had been moving as Lenisha commanded.
Obediently, like a welltrained hound.
“The market is open today. They say there’s a lot of imported stuff coming in, so there’ll be a lot to see.”
“So?”
Lenisha tilted her head.
“I’m asking…… if we can go look around together.”
Casius was serious throughout.
He had never said anything like this before.
He didn’t know what to say, how to say it, or when to say it.
Plus, he didn’t want to interrupt Lenisha’s reading, so he had kept his mouth shut, choosing his words.
And the word that popped out was the very uncool ‘going out’.
He was exasperated with his own language skills.
But the good thing was that Lenisha’s reaction was not bad.
“Looking around. That might be good. A lot of imported goods means a lot of tourists. There will be ships that brought them. Casius and I stand out, so we should cover up with clothes.”
Though Casius brought up the idea, Lenisha took the lead.
“I’ll tell Lindei to find us some clothes. Shamdir’s clothes would be nice.”
“Shamdir’s clothes?”
“Have you seen the clothes Canary wore? They were a waste of precious Shamdir silk.”
Lenisha said with a playful voice.
“Shamdir’s silk is especially beautiful when woven into Shamdir’s traditional clothing. If the silks of Shamdir are woven well, the patterns all connect. Besides, it was for Shamdir’s queen, so they must have paid extra attention.”
“How does Lenisha know all this?”
“Because I was the empress. It was only natural for me to learn the culture and customs of major countries. In some countries, shaking hands is considered rude, while in others, people greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. How could I deal with envoys without knowing such things?”
Lenisha shrugged lightly.
‘Is this right?’
Turiel had told Casius to converse with Lenisha.
He could not grasp if this was the right way to talk.
“Canary didn’t even know the letters in her name.”
“Canary is… just a puppet. Lexsus wouldn’t expect anything more from Canary. Her value must lie solely in giving birth.”
Lenisha spoke coldly.
‘This isn’t right.’
Casius swallowed.
“If we wear Shamdir’s clothes, will people not recognize us?”
“In Shamdir’s traditional attire, there’s something that includes wearing a hat and covering the face. Then people won’t recognize us.”
“What color of clothes will Lenisha wear?”
“Trying to match me?”
“I’m going to ask Lindai for a favor.”
Lenisha burst out laughing.
“Alright. Today…”
Lenisha tapped her cheek lightly.
“How about pink?”
“Fine.”
Casius didn’t care one way or the other.
His goal was to become ‘husband and wife’ with Lenisha, as Turiel had said.
He had a small desire for others to see him and Lenisha as a couple, too.
Lenisha laughed again.
“You really think pink is alright? My goodness.”
Lenisha rose from her seat.
“What did Turiel tell you? What did you learn, Casius?”
Casius opened his eyes wide.
“How, how did you?”
“The smell coming from Casius. It’s Turiel’s favorite perfume. If you go to Turiel’s store, that smell pervades. It naturally clings to the body.”
“Hmm.”
Lenisha was sharp.
Casius scratched his neck with an awkward face.
“Did Turiel say that?”
Lenisha closed her eyes and smiled.
“To go on a date with me?”
“Cough!”
Casius coughed involuntarily.
“You’ve been eyeing me all this time because you wanted to ask me on a date.”
“……”
“Alright. You’re cute, so I’ll accept.”
One can’t help but laugh at such an obvious trick.
Lenisha was surprisingly fast to catch on, even startling herself.
