The prince came back roughly thirty minutes later. Estelle smelled soap and the usual scent of bergamot from beside her as he slipped under the quilt. It had only been a few days since she had started living here, but a part of her had already come to feel relief from that scent. It appeared she had been tense ever since her unforeseen encounter with Liedis.

“Are you still awake?” asked the prince.

“I am.”

For some reason she was having difficulty falling asleep tonight. As she replied and turned over, her eyes met those of Arcrayne, peering back at her. Seeing him so comfortable in his nightwear was bad for Estelle’s heart—it gave her a feeling of superiority to know that very few people ever got to see him like this.

“I’m free for five days starting tomorrow,” said the prince. “I’ve been working like a horse ever since the end of last year, after all. How about we get away from the city?”

“Will you take me somewhere?”

“I will. We can’t go too far, since I’ll need to return immediately if something happens, but anywhere close by is fine. College should resume for Liedis by then, and I don’t imagine he’ll have time to come bother us once he starts living in the college dorm. Things get ridiculously busy at that point.”

The Royal College where Liedis went was an elite training school. As he was always compared with Arcrayne, people wanted him to have better grades than his brother.

“Is there a chance a different Awoken will try something...?” asked Estelle.

“I think it’s safe to say no. Awoken outside of royalty don’t have impressive powers, and among royals, only he would use them for violence.”

At present, Rosalia had eight Awoken known to the public, five of whom were royals. Estelle began to list the five in her mind: His Majesty the King, Lord Arc, His Highness Prince Liedis, the former royal Duke Marwick...

Duke Marwick was grandfather to Liedis and political enemy to Arcrayne. To the latter he was also his grandfather’s younger brother—his granduncle. Estelle had seen him at the New Year’s party. The duke was rather old, so he apparently almost never left his mansion.

The fifth Awoken on the list was Arcrayne’s aunt, but she had moved to a neighboring country after marrying.

“That fool... Doesn’t he realize our father immediately knows if someone uses their powers in the Palace of Albion?” said Arcrayne.

“Oh? Is that true?”

“The royal family has an artifact that senses the flow of mana within the palace. So if someone thoughtlessly uses powers here, it will become clear to my father right away. There’s no doubt he’s aware that Liedis used teleportation, and that you fired your mana pistol.”

“Does that mean I have a scolding coming my way?” Estelle’s face clouded over.

“It’s that fool’s fault for raiding this palace, so I think you’ll be fine... But if someone does reprimand you, I’ll handle it, so don’t worry,” the prince reassured her.

“Did His Highness Prince Liedis do what he did knowing he would be scolded by His Majesty.
