The one who had appeared right before me was none other than Lord Edward.

It seems like he was right here by Rachel’s side.

Publicly, Lord Edward and Rachel had broken off their marriage arrangements.

However, considering he sneaked out just to be by Rachel’s side, it seems like he still cares for her.

“…Ray, why are you here?”

“I wanted to see you, so I used a little trick to get here.”

I wanted to come here, but I lied about wanting to see Lord Edward.

I mean, I did want to see him, but I’m here because I needed to check something out with Rachel’s body.

“I tried asking Makoto and the maids, but they wouldn’t tell me where you were. They wouldn’t tell me where you went, and I was just so worried. Before I knew it, I apparently used teleportation magic, and here I was. Exactly, where is this place?”

I acted like I didn’t know anything and that I just teleported here by coincidence.

I did so naturally.

Lord Edward was standing in between me and Rachel’s body; he took a stance as if to protect her.

“This is… A town in the middle of nowhere in a neighboring country.”

“I see. So you were that far away, huh?”

Lord Edward had a stern expression on his face.

He was on his guard.

“I will turn a blind eye to this if you immediately teleport back to the royal palace.”

“…I apologize for coming over here without permission. But to be honest, I don’t really understand how to use teleportation magic. The first time I used teleportation magic, I thought that you were going to die, and I unknowingly teleported us to a safe place. This time, I was so hopelessly worried about you that before I knew it, I teleported over here. So even if you tell me to go back to the royal palace, I don’t really know whether or not I can teleport back there… But, uhm… I’ll try my best.”

“…”

I don’t know whether or not I can actually teleport.

Or so I said to Lord Edward; he stayed silent.

I wonder what’s on his mind.

“…I can’t exactly kick a woman out at this hour. There’s no helping it then, we will go back to the royal palace tomorrow.”

“Thank you very much.”

I thanked him for his lenience.

In the worst-case scenario, I was prepared to be kicked out, but I’m glad that it didn’t have to come to that.

“Who are you?!”

As soon as I felt slightly relieved, someone else came in.
