My Wolf Prince

Claudia, told by her father Theodore to attend the next ball with Isaac, was not worried if Isaac, who had never properly faced the ball before, would really attend.

Isaac and I haven't seen each other face for another week since the day we were introduced to him as our new fiancée in the first place.

(What do you mean you don't even come to the meeting!

Claudia was running a carriage to the Lamperts family after she cut the numbness.

Rather than wanting to see you, it was to ask if you were willing to attend the upcoming ball two days later.

Arriving without taking much time, the Lamperts family decree welcomed me in a way that surprised me.

"This is Dear Claudia. Welcome aboard."

"I'm suddenly sorry. Is Isaac here?

"Master Isaac has not returned yet."

"... yet? You're pretty late."

"Yes, I've been packed in the outer hospital almost as late as day after day since I got back from my earlier expedition"

The External Hospital is an institution whose main task is to make expeditions to different continents. Isaac, Ralph, and Alexis used to belong there too.

"... it was. That's tough."

(You didn't come to see me, you didn't have this...)

Claudia relieved herself that it was good to know before she let her face meet her dissatisfaction.

"Until Isaac leaves, will you let him wait?"

"Of course it is. Shall I send news to the hospital?

"Fine. 'Cause I'm sorry to interrupt."

That was when I was put through to the reception room and finished a few glasses of tea.

Beyond the door opened by the decree, along with Knock, was Isaac, who opened his eyes small.

"Welcome back"

…………

"Why are you so surprised?"

"... all of a sudden, you'd be surprised"

"For now, why don't you sit down?

Encouraging him to do so, Isaac takes a breath and lowers his back to the couch in front of Claudia.

Claudia finds herself in front of me. Isaac's complexion is not good. I can see you're tired at a glance.

"Are you that busy?

"Well, quite."

"Maybe because Master Alexis is gone?

"... well"

"You were."

Which means Isaac was following Alexis' missing hole. Claudia sincerely regrets not having thought about that at all.

"That's not all."

"What do you mean?

"At my convenience, I plan to get the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow?"

Claudia remembers. Speaking of which, I came to see Isaac about the ball two days later.

"Then I'm going, you had it. Good."

"... to what?

"Huh? Ball, right? Two days later."

…………

"... no?

"Uh..."

Isaac frowned and closed his eyes, lifting them rampantly to his forehead and squeezing them all the way through there.

In this way, apparently, it wasn't a vacation to go to the ball.

"Maybe you weren't listening? Your father said he was talking to Deathhardt..."

"... No, I was told. They told me, but I wasn't in my head because I was tired."

I can't even strongly condemn you as Claudia because I know why you were tired. Claudia sighed as she gave up.

"What are you planning?

If you ask, Isaac, with his eyes open, looks back at this one with an indescribable look. Did you hear Claudia sigh and think she was angry?

"I'll be back at night. I might be a little late."

"I'm not, I'm asking you what you have planned."

"... going to the Ileys"

Ilay is a rural town far from the Wang capital. Sure, it's where Isaac used to live.

"Iray? Then you can't come back at night. I'm gonna pay you back."

"Nothing good. Anyway, I'll be back as soon as I can"

"... what are you going to do?

If I really cared and asked, Isaac answered in such a way that it was difficult to say.

"... it's the day of my life. Ilay has his uncle's grave."

Claudia was surprised and much angrier than Isaac had forgotten about the ball.

"If you have such an important business, how come you won't tell me right away? You don't have to go back. Have a good time over there."

"... I thought I'd say that, so I didn't."

(... what is that. Isaac, maybe you took care of me, didn't you?

In the meantime, I take a serious look at Isaac, which is what comforted me, something different than before.

"What's that face?"

"... I know, because it's none of your business, because I thought you'd say something like that"

"You wanted me to tell you."

"I'm not..."

(Something's going on...)

When I thought so, I noticed how Isaac was trying to say something.

"What's going on?

"No..."

"Say it. Don't hide it anymore."

Encouraging him with a strong tone, he uttered words that were unlikely to be considered from previous Isaacs.

"... you want to come with me?
