Claude's jacket is in the wardrobe. The robe is in the way and narrow, but not so much that I can't move.
Eileen stood on her knees and glanced softly at the room. The vitreous window has a thin lace curtain on it, but I can see Cedric and Lilia coming in through the door.
"Dear Claude, how are you?
"Oh, Lilia. Much better now. Did Cedric come?"
"Yeah, there's been a change in the itinerary for the inspection, and I'm here to report it."
"Let's make it tea first, I, I made cookies! - Oh? This cage."
It's the apple pie cage Irene brought. Claude took it up with tremendous momentum and hid it on his back.
"I asked my servant to prepare this for me."
"Then you could have told me...... what do I do, this cookie? Would you like to?
"Yes, no, because of that. Let's have it. Can I get you some tea?
"Of course!"
Lilia, who replied with a smile, just starts preparing tea. Claude was exhaling from his shoulder and driving a cage with apple pie into the corner of the room.
(You said you didn't want my apple pie)
I made all sorts of warnings, but it's not funny.
(Door, maybe I'll kick it. Master Cedric finds out anyway, and Lilia shouldn't be putting me over the game until the ball - but she's going out of her way to teach me)
"By the way, Master Claude, you're not going to see Mr. Eileen, are you?
No, I think it's already broken. Of course they don't call me to leave.
"Of course, Lilia. I'm not gonna let you or Cedric grieve."
"Good. But be careful. I've been doing that for a long time, but there's something about Irene that doesn't choose the means..."
"Oh... right..."
I decided to believe that what Bottom of Heart Claude seemed to agree was surely an act.
You remember something, brother?
"Yes - no? To hear you guys talk, I guess so."
Claude, who doesn't remember, is a bad liar. Forgive me because I'm cute, but it was Cedric that bothered me so much. I guess he hasn't even revealed to Claude himself that he guided him to see how it was going.
Plus, I kind of feel like I'm looking over here. Are you under the impression that I'm here? My childhood friend has been badly corrected since this time. I'm not happy at all.
"Oh, no. Now it looks like I'm blowing Irene's bad mouth on Master Claude... I'm not going to do that. You know, Irene is an amazing lady."
"I know, Lilia. You're just on my side with no memory."
"But I... I'm scared if Lord Claude becomes the Demon King again. We could finally get along, but if we ever get back to the Demon King again..."
That's the heroine of the maiden game, perfect to the point of floating tears that don't spill a dialogue or a face angle. I want to apprentice. Claude's frowning like he's in trouble. Cedric hit that shoulder.
"Lilia, it's okay. Look, the tea you brew is gonna get cold."
"Ah... right. Oh, my God, I was so anxious. We need to be stronger."
With a smile I can tell I pushed anxiety to death, Lilia says.
(... Is this Isaac's technique of pulling...? But even if I behave like this, I can only see it with my nagging eyes... I wonder what this difference is)
I can't unwrap it. Tea started while I was twisting my neck in the wardrobe.
"Oh? This paperwork... was made by Master Claude after a while?!?"
"Ah, oh. Right now, the Crown Prince's work will be being represented by Cedric. So I was hoping I could at least make some suggestions... it's still rough."
"That's not true, wow! I'm sure the Empress and the Emperor will be delighted."
"I hope so..."
"Show it to me later, brother. By the way, there's been a lot of talk lately about demons coming out, and the route has changed due to increased security."
"The demon..."
To Claude's twinkle, Eileen glanced. Claude is losing his gaze with a slightly depressing face.
"There was talk of putting out the Saints, but the captain is absent on an expedition right now. Even if he was there, he's the second son of the Duke of Dorthrish family, and the one Irene's breathing in has joined the group. Information is likely to leak. Therefore, the security of the inspection was gathered in a general call to serve as a common framework for the Knights to join the Order."
"You mean an apprentice knight who hasn't been trained yet? It would be dangerous."
"It's okay. I have knowledge of the sword because it is a Knights aspiration, and command is taken by the Knights. And even if there's a demon in the Imperial Capital, it's a trinket."
So Irene saw Lilia's mouth end rise only slightly.
(I knew there would be demons on inspection...! And big guy)
I want a path. But Cedric told me the answer first.
"We also have permission from the Emperor to serve the Saints just in case, and you don't have to worry. Marks and the regular knights, of course, have been placed on the spot."
"Marks is very strong, Master Claude! Don't worry."
"Well... then I'll leave it to you"
Whenever someone beats that Marks without a single glance, he says something. It's cruel not to know. Well, Claude doesn't remember it, even if he brings it back.
(It's okay, Marks. I haven't forgotten your misery......!
I listen to the conversation, with tears all the time.
Apparently, the route will be decided on the day of the inspection. It just seems that the main place of inspection has been decided, and I could hear it out. Of particular note is the large park at the centre of the third tier. The park, with its large fountains, is also a children's playground and attracts many people, including paper players and pie sellers. Especially popular with the surrounding forests, it is famous for the dating spots where the nobles sneak by. Eileen didn't miss that Lilia definitely wanted to go there.
(It's a place with a lot of people. We need to take action with Isaac and the others...)
We can't just put the damage from demons on the human side right now.
It's my job to protect the demons while Claude's away. That's one thing about Irene being Claude's fiancée.
