After that, the three of them finished their meals in the dining room where Cecilia, as a servant, cleaned up sharply and disbanded. During the dinner party, the three of them had a more peaceful atmosphere than ever before, with occasional laughter, and the atmosphere was very good. I could have changed Laurent's "Cecil-sama" to "Cecil" at the dinner party, and I think it was a really good time.

Cecilia, returning to her room, once again told Oscar a daytime story.

“Oscar, what did you think of Laurent?”

"Prince Janice?" Well, I suppose it's an honest story. He's not the kind of person I know who's bothered by that, let alone the kind of person who thinks about suicide. It's true that his mother opened the case, and there are no lies about what happened after that, but there's no denying that the talker, Laurent, is in the mood. ”

"I see..."

Cecilia nodded as she took off her jacket.

Oscar's idea was the same as Cecilia's. She didn't look like Janice would kill herself, and I think that story is full of Laurent's emotions.

(But....)

It was also true that she felt sorry for Janice.

While keeping Cecilia's eyes at the edge, Oscar says, "Just..."

Just?

“Then I can explain why he's not hiding what he's doing.”

What do you mean?

When Cecilia tilts her neck, Oscar holds his finger up.

“For example, what if you do something bad?”

Apologize?

"That's the kind of guy." you..... "

Oscar smiles bitterly.

"Well, there may be people like you, but the average one wants to hide it first." Apart from whether the "bad things" are intentional or not, people who have done bad things want to hide the facts. He wants to cut off Shira that it has nothing to do with him. The more I have, the better. But Janice doesn't have it. "

Indeed, he has not hid his sins until now. He is a royalty, a prince, and there are a lot of people who move by his command, so he could have done what he did without getting his hands dirty. At least, you don't have to stand on the arrow at all.

And yet, all he does is act and behave like he did.

On the occasion of the sacrifice, on the occasion of the temple.

"Yeah, I knew that if I exposed myself, I would lose my place." I don't know if I can call it suicide, but I can say it's suicidal. "

"Not only did I lose my place, but I was also being chased by various people."

"That's right. I don't think Laurent's thinking is out of place either..."

That is how Oscar closed his mind.
