“Oh, here are my hands. They shook Volland Princess’s hand.” Edeltraud showed both of his hands to Claudio. He was about to take one without even thinking, but he snapped to his senses. Edeltraud chuckled.

“Must be terminal.”

“You shut up. Just leave me alone.” His face turned red from the mage’s teasing as he proceeded to stomp his way down the passageway.

Chapter 4: That Which Goes Seen and Unseen

“All right, I will be waiting on hand in the lounge. If anything happens, please just call for me. Momo, keep guard over the princess, too, okay?”

The flying squirrel on Rosemarie’s shoulder stood up emphatically in response.

Rosemarie nodded with a wry smile to Heidi after her repeated instructions, and the maid exited the bedroom, eyebrows slanted in worry. Then, as though switching places with her, Claudio entered. Despite being about to go to sleep, he wasn’t dressed for bed; rather, he was still in the same outfit he’d worn earlier in the day. The same went for Rosemarie. Since there was a chance something might happen tonight, she figured it best not to change into her nightgown.

Claudio had returned from the tea party just as Rosemarie was beginning to worry, noticing that the time for afternoon tea was long since over.

However, when she asked what they talked about from then until the time he entered the bedroom, he said he had barely any recollection of the conversations.

Not knowing what she should talk about, she stood there, not saying a word. Claudio took a seat on the bed in silence, a composed expression on his face.

After a bit of indecision, Rosemarie sat on the opposite side of the bed. Not being able to see his face calmed her down a little. She inhaled slightly before beginning to speak.

“So, I...”

The start of her sentence overlapped with Claudio’s. As she jumped in surprise, she could feel Claudio also correcting his posture from behind her.

This time, she waited for Claudio to say something, but he wasn’t showing any signs of opening his mouth no matter how long she waited. She slowly turned around, catching Claudio at the same moment he began to look at her from over his shoulder. Their eyes met, both their faces and bodies freezing in place. However, it was Claudio that broke the link in their line of sights.

“So, about Adelina...”

Her heart jumped once he brought up that name. Had he changed his mind? Was he going to report her theft of the Sacred Relic to the Cardinal after all?

“A few moments ago, Bishop Lancel informed me that we’d have a change in chambermaids. When I asked for the reason why, he told me that she requested the change since my face is too terrifying for her to handle.”

That didn’t strike her as particularly odd. She used his face being too frightening as a pretense; she most likely didn’t want to endanger herself by continuing to serve Claudio after her theft of the Sacred Relic had been discovered.

“I see... I suppose that was bound to happen.
