Chapter 825

Claire’s suggestion was dismissed



“I agree with you, Mr. Takumi. And so I shall accompany you as well.”

“...So, I suppose Mr. Takumi will not be visiting the village after all.”

“Hey, Sebastian!?”

After speaking to Leo and Liza, I confided in the others around the dinner table.

Claire made her declaration then, and Sebastian rejected it immediately.

As Sebastian had been shaking his head with exasperation earlier, he must have been expecting her to say something like this.

It reminded me of how she declared she would go to the forest before.

“Uh...I don’t know about that... I already talked to Leo and Liza...”

“Hoho. I was merely joking. Still, Lady Claire. You cannot just go with Mr. Takumi on a whim.”

“It is...not a whim!”

So it was just a joke... Still, Claire had slowed down a little, so perhaps it was effective in a way.

Apparently, Leo had been listening, and was reminded that she could not go either. Liza and Tilura were then concerned, and encouraged her to eat more.

Regardless, I turned my attention back to Claire.

“In that case, how did you think you could go to the village while keeping your identities hidden?”

“...”

Sebastian pressed. But Claire was silent.

“In the first place, why would you even need to go? Why do you need to see Bleiyu village?”

“Because I thought that I should see how they live as well. Yes, I have gone to Range village and others. Often it was with my father. But I never got a closer look.”

“Hmm. I understand the reason. I suppose you did think about it a little... And you are not lying.”

“Tsk!”

Sebastian really was able to see right through her. Claire looked quite annoyed by it.

Well, knowing Claire, if she really had thought about it in advance, she would have said it first...

Though, I’m sure she meant it. She probably did not have much time to see much while traveling with Mr. Ekenhart.
