“Yurina?”

“What?”

“Why are you frozen?”

“Mm?”

Raynard now turned to her three brothers, but Yurina couldn’t tell them anything either. Things were too mixed up in her head.

“Oh, I’m confused.”

Edwin and Justin echoed each other like parrots:

“What, what?”

Yurina soon smiled as if nothing had happened.

“There is nothing. I forgot about my luggage. I need to see Betsy.”

Turning towards the mansion, Yurina glanced at Reynard. He noticed her signal and turned to Riggs.

“I haven’t had such a fierce battle in a long time. If it’s all right, can I go?”

“Oh, it looks like I shouldn’t have fight a person who has yet to participate in the tournament like that. See you later then.”

Suddenly, Raynard was rushing after Yurina with quick steps.

“Yurina, what’s up?”

Raynard proved to be more sensitive to her mood than her three brothers, who, however, also really cared about Yurina.

“What’s happening? Are you feeling bad? Hunting competitions, is it difficult?”

“Nothing, no, no.”

However, he couldn’t shake off his worries, so he placed his hand on Yurina’s forehead and cheek.

“Fever? Are you sick?”

“It’s your hands that are hot after the fight.”

“I don’t think so. Let’s go to the room. You need to go and rest.”

“There’s no need.”

“Why?”

Then Reynard held his breath.

Yurina hesitated, touched her earlobe, and timidly spoke after.

“I sent a letter to the academy before you returned.”

“Letter? Oh, I kept them all.”

“Not those.”

“What then?”

Yurina hesitated again because she couldn’t figure out how to explain it.

‘I couldn’t wait for your letter, so I sent the letter again… I know I have to say it.’

‘But my lips are so dry.’

‘That was the truth, but for some reason I didn’t want to say that.’

‘How ridiculous and funny would that be?’

‘And yet…’

Yurina spoke as she removed Reynard’s hand from her cheek.

“You didn’t answer me, so a few days ago I send you letter again to find out what was the matter. Most likely, the messenger with the package has not even left the lands of the empire.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Then we can write to Aiden and ask him to send the letter back. In any case, even if we don’t write, I know that he will save the letter and send it to me.”

In contrast to Yurina’s tension, Reynard was now whispering to her in a soothing tone. He then laughed as he pinched Yurina’s cheek, but in a way that didn’t hurt.

“You were really worried.”

Yurina quickly removed his hand because she felt like he was treating her like a child.

“I also sent a handkerchief.”

“What?”

“During the tournament, women give men handkerchiefs of their own embroidery, praying for their safe return. This time I made one for you too. And I sent it with a letter.”

“Well, we can just ask Aiden to send it back. This will happen in a month.”

“Then the tournament is over.”

“There’s nothing you can do about it now… So that’s how you behave when you don’t receive my letter for a long time?”

Yurina just shrugged, handed the umbrella to Betsy, and headed towards her room. She was worried that the handkerchief would evaporate, but if Aiden sent it back, everything was okay.

Upon entering the mansion, she suddenly realized that Reynard wasn’t following her and looked around.

Raynard was still standing there, thinking about something with a serious face.

“What are you doing? Are you not going?”

“Oh, I’m going.”

Even so, he still stood there for a while.
