"…Did you know?"

Ian asked Iris as on the seat across froe that started to move once more

Perhaps it was because he was tired due to exter drea his mother’s lap as a pillow, just like before

"What?"

Iris tilted her head with a questionthat she didn’t understand Ian’s query

"About Young Master"

As if he still didn’t believe what he saw, Ian’s face was co display of skill

He was so shocked that he didn’t even feel like waking hi

"I don’t know…"

As she didn’t know anything about swords about so she continued speaking after blinking a few ti about swordsh she came into the Iphelleta House which was famous for its swordsmanship as a concubine, she had never held a sword before because of her unceasing attereat a skill her son showed just before

But, she knew that it esome

And she felt relief at the fact that her son was safe and uninjured

"I also felt oblins too, you know?"

When looking at how Riley was fighting before, she had clenched her fists so hard that ernails were as clear as day on her palms

"I…see"

Iris looked down after Ian replied blankly

She was gazing at Riley, as sleeping in her lap

"My Lady, about this…"

"Keep it a secret"

About to open histhe sides of his pants, Ian flinched

"…Huh?"

"Keep it a secret, don’t tell anyone in the mansion Not even the Count"

"W-Why?"

Sera as driving the carriage frolanced back inside

It wasn’t an overreaction for Ian to be puzzled

She too felt the same

But she didn’t ask ‘Why?’

This was because she was also asked the sa from Riley

"Because, Riley wanted it"

"My Lady!"

"Shush"

In front of Ian whose voice was raising, Iris raised her index finger to her lips and made a ‘Shh’ sound

That action didn’t only entail worry about Riley waking up

"Please, Ian"

"…"

How couldback at the road at Iris’s action

It was because Riley had esture last time

The capital, Solia

The weather here was sunny, and the atmosphere wasn’t that bad either

Sera se which they rode all the way froe house

"Now! Welcome to Solia!"

"You look like you’re excited"

"Of course, it’s been a long time since I’ve co Riley, were standing in Left Solia

It was a place that Sera kneell

"Anyway, I feel a bit sorry for Ian I feel bad that we sent him to Castle Solia on his own"

It had started with four people, but only three people remained

Only Ian couldn’t be seen in their party

The reason was because he needed to get the admission tickets for the capital’s swordsmanship tournament

"No, my Lady It was for the best to send Ian-ni at Iris’s worry

Riley nodded as if saying that he agreed

"…"

If the one ent off to get the tickets was not Ian but Sera, it would be terrifying

He would definitely go ‘Young Master this, Young Master that’ and follow Riley around all daya fuss as he tried to talk about what had happened the evening before

"Then where should we go first?"

"Obviously"

A bead of sweat rolled down Riley’s cheek

It’s Riley whose throat was burning to a crisp when the carriage entered Solia

The first destination had already been decided

"Cok-… no, black sugar beer! We need to go drink that!"

As if knowing he was going to say that, Sera s

"There’s a café near here that I used to visit frequently It should still be selling what Young Master wants so let’s go there first, h the sky held no clouds and it was a cool day, it was too hot to walk around outside Sera, as holding a parasol to cover Iris, looked around her surroundings

It was because she had to be prepared for unknown threats because Ian had left, and she was alone in escorting the two people
