I’ve Been Exiled, But I’m Alive and Well - Chapter 124

"What's going on with you and Jed, anyway?"

Giselle asked me as soon as I finished changing. I don't know, but I think I upset him.

"I don't know, but I think I've upset him.”

"Upset?"

"As soon as I told him about a friend, he started acting strange…”

Giselle tilted her head in confusion, so I replied, "I'm talking about His Highness Jerald of the Fall Empire.”

I've only told her that I've become friends with him. I couldn't tell my family, His Highness Cyril, or anyone else. In fact, there was no way I could tell them that I had become friends with the first prince of a friendly country in secret.

As soon as I mentioned Jerald’s name, Giselle stood up from her chair with a clatter. I turned around, startled by the sound, and saw a puzzled expression on her face.

"You told him about His Highness Jerald?”

"Of course I didn't mention his name. I only told him I had a friend in the Empire.”

I’m just a commoner now. I can't say that I am friends with the prince of a country, and that he’s someone who is treated poorly in the Empire. Giselle muttered “I see…” with her cheeks cramping. Does she have some idea why Jed had been acting strangely?

When I was about to ask her, she spoke first.

"You only said that you have a friend in the Empire?”

"Yeah. Yes, I told him I had a precious friend there.”

As soon as I told Jed that he was like Jerald, he seemed to have lost his composure.

Maybe he didn't like the fact that he was being compared to someone else.

"What do you mean?

"No, it's okay if you have not noticed.”

What do you mean that I haven't noticed?

When I tilted my head at her meaningful words, I was told, "Don't worry about it," but of course I was curious. I wondered if I had overlooked something. When I think about it, I can only think of one thing, but it's not this.

“Anyhow, I will apologize to Jed later.”

“Haah, is that so…”

“That’s a very vague reply…”

Gisele's unusual way of replying upset me. I can force her to talk, but ordering her to do so will only make her happy. I don’t really understand, but I understand that I need to investigate Jed more. I'll have a long talk with him after the matter with Ewe is settled.
