“Ahh. It’s a surprise!”
Ugh.
I was surprised to see a face suddenly appear.
Cedric was waving his hand with a very happy face, as if he couldn’t see my surprise.
“Celia was here too. “Are you surprised that something like this suddenly happened?”
“… … “I was surprised.”
When I think about it, this guy knew that something like this would happen. I’ll give you some advice in advance. This shameful guy.
‘Then did Dazar know?’
Since Cedric, the emperor’s left hand man, knew, it seemed like Dazar, his right hand man, also knew.
‘Cedric and Dazar are the same.’
Tsk. These unfriendly guys.
I felt left out when I thought that people I saw often were sharing information except me.
Of course, I knew it wasn’t my business to know.
“Why did you come?”
Maybe that’s why the words didn’t come out smoothly.
Then Cedric carefully examined my expression, still smiling.
“Why is Celia so angry? “Did I do something wrong?”
lol.
Is that the laughter of someone asking if they did something wrong?
He looked at Cedric, who was laughing bitterly, and made a sullen face.
“Aren’t you upset because I didn’t tell you in advance?”
“… … .”
When I narrowed my eyes, Cedric pursed his lips.
“hmm. Celia. “But there’s something you didn’t tell me, right?”
“ok?”
What did I not tell you? What is that?
As I blinked as if I didn’t understand, Cedric lifted his index finger and held me… … .
“This kid here.”
“… … ?”
He pointed to Axion.
I looked down at Axion, who was sleeping peacefully in my arms.
Then I realized.
“ah!”
Cedric didn’t know that I had a child. Because Carl asked Cedric to keep it a secret, he didn’t say anything at all.
So that I wouldn’t have to face Axion, I deliberately didn’t go outside when he came.
“I’ve almost been living in the Duke of Siaster until now… … .”
Cedric slumped his shoulders and continued.
“I thought it was like a family… … .”
family? What a family.
“No. Together with the Black Hawk brothers, we were like family… … .”
He suddenly burst into tears.
“That you have such a grown child…” … “How could you not have known?”
He lowered his head as if he was hurt.
No, hey.
“What a grown child. “Do you know what the word ‘mature’ means?”
“Huh. too bad… … .”
Eventually, I couldn’t help but make a dumbfounded face as I saw Cedric shaking his shoulders with his face buried in his hands.
What is he doing now?
Eishu and Korra, who were standing next to me and watching our conversation, muttered as if they were thinking the same thing.
“I didn’t know Celia would do that.”
“I think Celia did something wrong.”
Wait, wait.
As I suddenly took Cedric’s side and looked at the two who were blaming me, Cedric sobbed even louder.
“Black! Black! I have been black for a long time now! Black! Celia… … Deep in my heart… … !”
“… … .”
Deep in my heart, something.
Anyone who hears this will misunderstand, you idiot.
As soon as I thought about that, I felt harsh gazes from both sides.
“Oh my, my. “Celia was a very scary person!”
“Cruthless!”
“These people… … .”
I suddenly got a headache.
I hugged Axion and shook my head.
“I’m sorry for not telling you earlier, but I had my own circumstances.”
“Black! Black!”
“I understand that you didn’t tell me in advance, so you… … .”
“huh!”
Cedric cut off the sentence that seemed like a warning and nodded loudly.
He spoke energetically with a very bright face, wondering where his gloomy face from a moment ago had gone.
“Celia’s heart is as wide as the sea! Thank you for understanding!”
“uh… … . Uh… … . okay.”
“Well, I’m a little busy, so I’ll go first. “I’ll see you at Siaster Street after the rest.”
“Yes… … .”
weird. I feel like I’ve been caught somehow.
As if my feeling was not wrong, after Cedric disappeared in a flash, Korra grabbed my shoulder and said,
“After all, you are the prime minister. “I passed on it without even realizing it.”
yes? Am I hooked?
He must have tripped over Axion out of fear of getting scolded by me.
I realized it too late and gritted my teeth, and Eishu muttered something strange.
“But you don’t seem that surprised. “I think she’d be shocked if her friend suddenly showed up with her kid.”
“hmm.”
Korra nodded in agreement, but I couldn’t hear it right now. I could only snort in excitement as I watched Cedric leisurely walking away.
After fussing in the lobby for a while, I left the lobby just as Axion was waking up.
‘Whew. ‘It took longer than I thought.’
Because I spent so much time verifying my identity, I was only able to return to my room around sunset.
“Was it hard to wait? Axion.”
“Boo!”
After getting down to the floor, I held Axion’s hand and slowly walked down the hallway.
‘See you later, Celia!’
‘It was kind of fun.’
Eishu and Korra parted ways in the lobby.
This is because the direction of the room was different.
‘Perhaps. Next time you encounter that being, observe carefully and let me know.’
I don’t know what I can do.
Before we parted ways, Cora said that, and I answered that I understood.
‘But who was he really?’
A mysterious feeling that only we seemed to exist in that space. I couldn’t easily forget the feeling at that time.
There was no entity similar to him in the original work.
No matter how much I thought about it, no one came to mind, so I gave up my thoughts and slowly headed towards the room with Axion.
“Come on, let’s go slowly. Axion.”
Because we matched Axion’s walking speed, the nobles heading to their rooms continued to pass by us at high speed.
“How long do I have to stay here? Then, let me at least enjoy it.”
“That’s right.”
Complaints also continued.
It was not until some time later that a different kind of voice was heard among the familiar sounds of complaints.
“… … found.”
A somewhat breathy voice.
The voice filled with relief was familiar.
“Where are you wandering around like that? “You’ve been looking for it for a while.”
Slightly disheveled black hair and golden eyes.
Dazar appeared out of nowhere, blocked my path and crossed his arms.
I was a little dumbfounded.
“Why are you blocking people’s paths?”
“… … Seeing it come out like this, it seems like nothing special happened.”
“Something special has to happen?”
Dazar laughed at my sullen answer.
“I’m glad nothing happened.”
Then, the words he added were somewhat awkward… … .
‘Come on? Disgusting.’
It was gross.
eww. hey. Have you seen my hands and feet? It looks long like this.
I took a step back from him, barely able to straighten my fingers that were curled up like grilled squid.
“Reveal your identity. “You monster wearing Dazar’s mask.”
“… … .”
Dazar’s face, which had been looking slightly relieved, was crumpled.
“Who is the monster?”
Dazar glared at me with a crumpled face. Looking at the look in his eyes full of contempt, I think it’s Dazar.
Feeling relieved, I brought Axion forward again, which I had slightly hidden behind me.
“Kyaa?”
Axion clung to my hand and laughed.
I smiled and hugged Axion.
“Tsk. So, why did you come here?”
“Why did you come?”
Dazar still looked at me with a sullen look on his face.
Well, no way.
“You probably didn’t come to see me.”
“… … .”
Dazar muttered for a moment and then nodded.
“uh. No. “There’s no way I’m coming to see you.”
“Yes? “You couldn’t have come to me like this because you were worried about me.”
“of course.”
He nodded with an exaggerated gesture and pointed somewhere with his index finger.
The tip of that index finger was pointed towards Axion.
“I found you because of this guy.”
“Axion? Why Axion?”
“what… … . “Because the situation suddenly changed?”
Why are you speaking so vaguely?
“I heard that traitors are being hunted down now. During the ‘place of rest’ period. But why Axion?”
When the story of Axion suddenly comes up, I feel slightly anxious. Isn’t it possible that Dazar already knows that Axion is most likely Ruben?
if so… … .
The main enemy of the Transcendents is Ruben. For those who have to protect the world, they must be killed immediately.
Ultimately, it meant that Axion was dangerous.
