"Theodore."

"That, Louis. Can I help you?

"Business, not. I just wanted to ask you something."

Master Theodore was sitting on the couch in a modest room in the research building, drinking tea slowly.

If we only listen to the words of Master Theodore, we can also take it in a way that says we are unexpected to come. But contrary to that, Theodore's expression seems to have finally arrived. Now, we have tea for the three of us.

Me and Your Highness across from Master Theodore, and Cyril sit next to Master Theodore.

"What if I drink tea before it gets cold?

It's unusual for me to brew. "

"Master Theodore can make tea."

"You can't brew as good as Cyril, though.

Didn't I tell you before? The sorcerer said he could do anything about himself. "

With that being said...

He did say something like that during the two months he was with Master Theodore in Marcel territory.

Sorcerers may also act alone in or outside the country for the purpose of their mission.

But I was surprised that even tea could be brewed, because honestly it was unexpected.

When you take the cup, the glorious aroma of tea flutters. After a sip, the tongue feels good and the taste is deep in the mouth.

"… delicious"

"Ha, I'm glad it fits your mouth"

... Theodore is truly a mystery.

Is there anything he can't do?

I take Dear Theodore's face seriously by accident.

"By the way."

When His Highness returns the cup of tea he was drinking to the table without sound, he opens his mouth.

"I want to check the situation. First, Theodore. You cast a summons spell during Miss Anna Carroll's ritual.

Why did you cast the spell again? "

"Oh, that. You had great wind and light. That's when I felt the shadow of the Spirit King. But he was worried about it coming out, so I added it because it felt like he was coming out."

"Come out... to the Spirit King."

I look pokanne unexpectedly at Master Theodore's story. His Royal Highness also seemed to be more than Mr. Theodore had thought, sighing with his hands on his forehead.

But that's what the extra spell meant.

In other words, whether or not the Spirit King would grant protection was a delicate place.

Again, I guess that has something to do with Anna's changed personality there.

"By the way, did you hear the conversation between Miss Anna and the Spirit King"

"I haven't heard that one"

"Didn't you hear me?

"That's also true when you were talking to me, but I guess you also used soundproofing magic. I was pretty close, but my voice wasn't leaking at all."

I see.

So Master Theodore doesn't know about the exchange between Anna and the Spirit King, either?

I mean, only Anna knows how the Spirit King gave Anna protection over how she said it. Is that what you're saying?

"Then what were you talking to the Spirit King about?"

His Highness put his hand on his chin and temporarily contemplated it, then turned his gaze to Dear Theodore again.

"I don't know, either, but you asked me for my name.

And he called me by a different name. "

"Another name?

"Oh, with Ines."

Ines?

"I'm gonna get caught up in that, too, so I'm just gonna check it out."

"If you know what I mean, I want you to tell me again."

"Ah. Enough? If you don't have any questions, I have to go to the captain."

Master Theodore turns his gaze to His Highness and me as he sips all the rest of the tea in the cup.

"It's all right now. I'm sorry I let you take the time."

"No. … I'm going to be busy.

Louis, be very careful. "

"Of course."

Careful?

Anxious about Master Theodore's words, he turns his gaze to His Highness.

His Highness smiles nicely when he notices my gaze.

"It's gonna be okay."

"Let me know if you need anything, too"

"Oh, be sure. I want Rachel to tell me if she's in trouble, too."

When His Highness turns back towards me, he puts his hands on my shoulders and stares with a serious look.

His Highness snorted firmly at my words and said as if to push caution.

Right.

Even Your Highness does, as he hates me to be kept a secret. There is no way to trouble Your Highness with my unsolicited actions and thoughts.

"I wish I could lighten the burden", a word His Highness used to say to me. To avoid wasting His Highness's thoughts, of course, I will be independent. But I guess consulting isn't a bad thing.

Because I'm sure Your Highness will listen to any words I have.

As I renew that thought, I am hacked by the sigh that Master Theodore vomited so loudly from across the street.

"That's what I want you to do after I leave. Hey, Cyril."

"Yeah, absolutely."

My face blushes unexpectedly when I am gazed at by Dear Theodore and Cyril.

His Royal Highness looked out for those two and laughed niggardly and said, "Then you guys should make fiancées too".

In contrast, Master Theodore and Cyril distorted their faces reluctantly, both of them exhaling a great deal.
