"Hey, Torneo, who are you?
…………
Torneo did not answer.
Maybe I can't answer that.
He may not be able to answer that, as Elle and Victor Lake both knew each other.
I don't get the look on his face. So much so that when it comes to the lack of movement and being a bad hobby doll he seems to be.
I wonder how long he's been there, and it wasn't until a few more minutes after he opened his mouth without moving.
"Dear Altostella Lindsey Rufus"
Altostella, I call you lady or lady. This is the first time he has ever called me that.
And I say unto a stiff voice, I am truthful.
But to him, who shut his mouth again after that, I cast my question again.
"Is Master Elle safe?
………
"I had blood on my gloves. Is Master Elle hurt anywhere?
………
"... Was it Miss Anna Roderai who was at the Evaris Mansion?"
I didn't know my face very well in the dark.
But I remember voices like those adorable noses and big, round eyes.
And also for the reason of hating me.
Once, a girl who was all alone in the love of a second prince.
Yes, the girl they thought.
That's what I would have thought, girl.
Her behavior at school was never right.
But I don't think she's the only factor leading up to that.
Because her life would have been different again if she hadn't met Her Highness Ellein and me.
"I'm sorry, there's no way you know that."
"Sorry"
I am a little surprised at him for speaking out of the blue.
I thought it might be for not being able to answer the question, but apparently not.
He apologized low with the kind of voice that pushed him to death.
I don't think you need to apologize.
"... No, I can't."
Torneo separated words there.
Then after a while of silence he seems to be telling himself rather than telling me.
"If you can't make it, you have to leave this mansion for a while, and I can't replace you."
I don't know what you're talking about.
He's probably not willing to let you know either. This is surely a monologue for him.
Perhaps he had a role in spending time in this mansion in some way with the royal family.
I guess there are so many other masters to follow that he becomes unsuitable and very disobedient in his position as a servant.
I'm not sure who he was here for or what purpose, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't done anything detrimental to the Duke Rufus family so far.
Instead, I, Lichten and Isolte are even helped by Him.
Although, well... I think I should report it to your father once and for all.
No matter how long he waited, he didn't open his mouth any more.
Maybe that's where his monologue ended.
Again, I wasn't sure.
"... well, if that apology is for appearing in the Duchess' room unauthorized, and at such a late hour, then take it"
Torneo breathed out in my words.
"... the lady is truly a nobleman, she has not become"
"If that's what you mean, you've disqualified your servant a long time ago."
That being the case, I think Torneo, with a dry laugh, was just a little back to his usual swallowing.
Because the way you call me, lady, has changed to, and the voice has become a little brighter.
"Unfortunately, I can't answer your daughter's questions.
But I'll just say that there's nothing for the lady to worry about. "
"Yes."
Torneo answered earlier, but he couldn't say otherwise.
Whether Master Elle is safe or not, whether that woman is Miss Anna, who he is.
I was a little relieved of him for making me answer badly and vaguely.
He said he couldn't answer, and he had nothing to worry about.
If he can't answer, you should ask what is making him obey.
I suppose that's what you're trying to say to me to find out for myself in the dark.
... I'm sure he hasn't really become a nobleman where he trusts me as he is.
"I like the extraneous, casual life of a servant."
"Yeah, that's good."
"... no"
It was like an exchange that had happened somewhere.
Unnaturally unmeshed, conversation.
I'm sure he knows that.
"Well, I hope so."
Torneo tied his mouth tight once.
Are you so surprised that your shoulders lifted slightly? and tilt his face.
"…………… Yes"
Then I caught the edge of my mouth and laughed as usual.
