As declared to Fried, morning held until morning sun rose. I was having breakfast biting down the absences.

I could sleep for a few hours, but I'm still sleepy.

I don't think there's a woman or anything like that who deals with Wilhelm's royalty and doesn't fall asleep. Once again, I thought to the Lady of Wilhelm that it was such an excellent and gentle system not to be allowed to work in the morning.

It's so big to be able to sleep in the morning.

"Ugh..."

"You look sleepy."

The culprit of something says something.

When I accidentally glanced at Fried, a glowing smile returned.

... good face.

This just makes me want to forgive everything, so I don't like it.

"Already... whose fault is it..."

"I'm sorry. I like Liddy too much. I'll be able to sleep a little sooner tonight, so I was wondering if you'd forgive me."

"... please really. I have plans, too."

"I know."

Freed nodding with a serious face.

But he's the one who never says he won't. I already enjoyed Irvern's southern cuisine while giving up because it was Fried.

A bunch of coconut milk and southern fruit not often used in Wilhelm.

It looks vibrant and is just fun to watch.

Fish dishes seem to be the main dish, and it is refreshing because it is summer.

"Delicious..."

Mango juice stains the body.

I thought a chunky breakfast would be tough in the morning because I'm still tired, but I can have it unexpectedly.

The ladies with me who brought them from Wilhelm served while confused by Irvern cooking.

Essentially, the meals should be prepared in their own rooms.

Prince Hendrick cared that you wouldn't mind eating, but this was really appreciated. Of course, this is not the case if the kings and princes invite you, but I understand that's normal.

"Fried, what are your plans for today?

Breakfast was over and the women stepped back. Asking him about his errands at a time when we were alone, Fried said as he relaxed on the couch.

"I have a meeting with King Irvern that I branded a luncheon. In a few moments, Alec will be picking you up, so we're gonna leave together."

"Yeah."

"What about Liddy? I think I promised Princess O'Filia yesterday."

"Yeah. I just got a letter asking you to visit the princess's room when you're ready. I was asked to join you for lunch. And, you know, it said there was something you wanted to show me."

The letter was delivered before breakfast.

It was the right time for Fried to be going to the next room to change, but the woman who brought me the letter wanted an immediate reply, and there was something she had promised yesterday, so she replied, "I'll be glad to hear it".

When I told him the letter had arrived, Fried raised his eyebrows a little.

"Yes. Just in case, can you show me that letter?

"? Yeah, good, though"

Hand Fried the letter he left on his desk. He just checked inside and nodded as he was convinced.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sounds real."

"Huh."

"Though a friendly country, this isn't Wilhelm. I need to make sure of anything. That leads to self-defense."

"Oh, my God."

I was just in Irvern, and I didn't think it was possible to trick the princess into her name or anything, but I guess that means I've never been over to be careful.

"Oh, I'm sorry. From now on, I'll show you Freed before I write you back."

I normally trusted the lady who brought me the letter because she meant with a princess, but I reflected that my assumptions were not good.

"Yeah. That's how it is. 'Cause it's not too late since something happened to Liddy."

"Okay."

I knew very well that Fried was taking care of me, so I nodded honestly.

And then, looking at the window, Cain was waving at us.

"Ah, Cain."

I rush to open the window. I guess I knew there was nobody else out there but us. Cain then came inside.

"Morning, Princess."

"Morning."

Exchange greetings.

When he looked around again, he opened his mouth.

"I need to talk to you both. - Ready?

"? Of course it's good, but is it also something important?

"Oh."

Cain agreed and looked at me and Fried. I hear it's important, and both me and Fried will have a listening system.

That's how we heard from Cain, and we circled our eyes with surprise.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Yes!? Abel was there? And the Hiyuma clan!? What's that furious development...!

"Abel came running from Sahaja, you mean... I see"

As I raised my surprise, Fried hung his hand on his chin and nodded.

"I guess I was depressed by the existence of my unavailability. I really think Maximilian is going to do what he's going to do with Marquis Westin. Cain, Abel isn't asking us for protection, is she?

To Fried's question, Cain denied it was different.

"As relaxing as you are enjoying your vacation. I just wanted to make some money, so he said he'd do it if he asked. He also said the name of the inn where he was staying. This is just a reminder, but I think if you visit it, it will usually come out..."

"... yeah. I feel that way, too."

Dodgy Miracle Quiz, what a person you were talking about. If I talk to him a little, I know he's a very free man, and I know his obsession with money. I normally understood that you wanted me to hire you because you wanted to make money.

"But he didn't take the royal request, did he?

"I heard that, too. Anything, that seems to be exclusive to Sahaja. Is he also a grudge against the royal family of Sahaja? I didn't feel like I could hear more about it, so I went through it, but I'm curious..."

"The royal family of Sahaja... you know, Abel was a Hiyuma clan, right? Then you're usually the culprit for killing the Hiyuma clan... aren't you?

Even Cain must have felt he couldn't forgive the king of Sahaja. Pointing that out, Cain looked full of doubt, "I don't know about that.

"Abel abandoned his red-eye, the pride of the Hiyuma clan. I don't think he has the same grudges as me. I made a deal with a witch to turn my red eye into a golden eye, and in some way, I could even use a secret technique. You're using Hiyuma's moves, and he's abandoning being Hiyuma. I don't want to admit he's the same Hiyuma."

"Oh well..."

I didn't say any more.

I'm not trying to understand Cain's complicated feelings. Because I don't think it's understandable either. But at least I want to respect that idea.

Open your mouth so Cain can re-compartmentalize.

"Anyway, so. If the princesses are going to ask him, you don't have to worry about me. I don't want to admit he's Hiyuma, but I know his prowess as a kaleidoscope. If I have a difficult assignment, I think using him is one option."

"Cain......"

I thought Cain said he didn't need Abel.

Cain clearly said he was surprised by the unexpected words.

"At least his intelligence-gathering skills are better than mine. I don't do anything that doesn't recognize someone who can do better than me. Of course, in battle, he's not even under my feet. I know about the word" suitable material ".... My dead father said it too. They say they have their own specialties. You don't have to excel at everything. The princess can hire Abel if she wants to use me according to the circumstances. You just have to think you've got more choices."

"Yeah."

"If it's hard for the princesses to go out in person, I'll go and ask for them instead. Abel said I wouldn't mind surrogating."

"... you've been very close at some point."

Cain looked sinister when he was surprised that it was completely different from before.

"We're not getting along. I'm just saying you're being chased by Sahaja's assassination guild, and Abel's not our enemy right now. That's just it."

"Oh well. Yeah, that's right."

Abel did have a fake fried thing and he was angry, and he felt enough to make me apologize in person, but it was all settled and after time, reasonably good, to the extent.

Though I still haven't forgiven you for hurting Tillis.

And also, you cheated on Marianne.

But I know that's a personal affair, and as a matter of fact, it's hard to make him apologize.

Marianne doesn't know Abel in the first place, and Tyris only knows about him in disguise.

They'll also have trouble where they took Abel in front of them, and it'll only get in the way of two people who are already looking forward. The only thing I want you to apologize for is my self-satisfaction.

- I wasn't sure what you were thinking, though.

When Cain is competent, he pushes his heart beat. At times of need, it is possible that we will make a request, and we decided that we should grow up here.

- It's not like we're gonna be friends.

Clients and informants. That's just it. You can think of it as a business-like relationship.

That's what I'm telling myself, Fried said.

"Okay. When you need his help, let me rely on him. Nevertheless, I don't even think I'm going to ask to be in Irvern for about nine days, including today."

"I think so, too. I just said it because they wanted me to tell them."

"Right."

Let's just say again, Fried seemed to decide to accept the existence of Abel.

If you look at it from Fried, you are caught scattered around being replaced by yourself or transformed into an outstanding subordinate, the Duke of Pegegrini. I don't think there can be any place to think about it, but it seems he put more importance on Abel's usefulness than that.

To Fried, who made a royal decision, I decide again to follow him, too.

I just got a paragraph about Cain, and I heard a knock. My brother's voice.

"Hey, Freed. It's time to go out. Are you ready for this?

"I'm going now"

Speaking through the door, Fried said, "Bye."

"I'm going. Because I'll be back this evening. It'll have cain on it, so I'm worried about you that much, but be careful, Liddy."

"Okay. Go away. Good luck with your work."

Mouth it gently and send your husband out.

After Fried left, I checked the clock, too, and told Cain.

"Well, shall we go out too? I'm promising to have lunch with Princess O'Filia today."
