“I can only tell you this much.”
When I finished talking, I felt empty.
The five years were compressed into a thirty minute explanation.
It made me feel that waiting and pondering for a long time became something trivial.
“I won’t speak about this.”
Before I could say something, Jeremy suddenly declared with serious eyes.
“That is very kind of you.”
I smiled at the words filled with his sincerity.
I liked the sincerity of his— he still didn’t know how to hide or disguise his feelings.
And thanks to that, I was more relaxed and could comfortably speak out while we were conversing.
He was rather worried about me.
“Can you really tell this story to me?”
“I promised you that I’ll tell you everything if you wait patiently.”
A promise was something that should be kept.
In addition, this was not only because of the promise.
After hesitating, I eventually showed my intention.
“Previously, you told me about your late brother, right?”
Nervousness showed in his eyes at the words that were suddenly spoken out.
“Can I hear more about the place he stayed at, and about the incident at that time?”
This could be a mere coincidence, but I kept weighing down about this.
Why did it happen in that particular village?
The time was clearly different, but even so, there was no guarantee that both cases had no relation.
“The nanny who told me about the situation had already passed away. The workers in my palace are always replaced, so it’s rare for someone to know about the past.”
He lowered his voice.
“If it’s about the one who knows about that incident, then it must be the one who experienced it themself who knows better.”
He was speaking about the imperial consort, who’s position was no different from being incarcerated.
“But, it’ll be difficult to have a proper conversation with that person.”
There would be watch dogs under the pretext of taking care of her, and above everything else, it had suspicious meaning whether she was in a condition where she could have a proper conversation.
“I see . . .”
I wasn’t surprised because I had already expected that.
Seeing that Jeremy’s face turned dark, I quickly changed the topic.
“It’s later than I thought. I’ve made you say something that is burdening your heart, haven’t I?”
“It’s fine.”
While I was looking around the room that was more simple than before, my gaze stopped at ‘Adel’.
The small sprout was still in its initial size.
It has been a week.
That thing was still a sprout?
As I stared intently at that because I found it to be odd, Jeremy spoke in an excited voice.
“I can’t find the variant like Adel in the illustrated books in the mansion, and in the plants illustrated book I bought recently. Perhaps we found a new variant of the plant.”
Your dreams are too high.
Jeremy was already dreaming about the future, to be exact, a golden future.
The gaze looking down at Adel was full of love.
If I knew it would become like this, I would give him anything other than the sprout growing in the ground.
I was regretting that a bit.

In the following day, a strange silence lingered in the breakfast time.
When I remembered that I was so tired and had a lot of thoughts the evening before that I almost ignored Orion, I felt sorry.
“O–”
As I was about to call him, his expression when he lifted his head and looked at me was very gentle.
The plates were pushed in front of me, who flinched for a moment.
They were clearly foods that were prepared with care.
“As I heard your trouble yesterday, I realized that you have already reached the age where you’ll be in trouble because of the quarrel you have with your friends.”
“But you and I only met this year, Orion . . .”
There was nothing about ‘have already’.
I was a bit reluctant with his expression immersed in emotion as if he watched all of my growth process.
“First, if there’s a misunderstanding, you have to clear that. And even if that doesn’t work, it’s fine. You are already mature enough to try your best to fix the problem between you two.”
“No, Orion. I . . .”
“This precious experience will become a good experience for your relationship with your new friends in the future. And especially if you can’t reconcile with that friend, it isn’t your fault.”
I blinked as I listened to Orion’s words that were said smoothly like flowing water.
Not only did the focus oddly go wrong, Orion’s words were filled with unusual tone and unusual word choice as if he had memorized that.
First of all, Orion, you have no friends.
I had a lot to say, but I, who ate while pressing down the urge to say, saw the edge of a book behind his back.
I finally realized the source of the wise words that he said smoothly, and I felt relaxed.
“It’s fine. I’ll take care of it myself.”
“Of course it must be troubling you . . .”
While half-listening to my brother’s recitation, I finished my breakfast. And on my way in the academy, I became the figure who got the gazes and curiosities that couldn’t be compared to the previous day.
“Marianne Miller, please come to the student council room.”
The female who appeared through the hot gazes, informed me with a smiling face.
It was a kind and gentle tone, but I guessed this was not a call for a good reason.
While I was following her, whispers followed behind me.
The gazes were searing.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
