“Well, good night then, Lady Miu, Lady Ruri. I shall return to guard duty now,” Asaka said.

“Thank you and good night,” I said. Miu, who looked like she was on the verge of drifting off, echoed my words.

Asaka gave us an elegant bow before leaving the room, candle in hand. As soon as she had closed the door behind her, I heard her voice again, issuing orders to the attendants who were standing guard outside our room. Ever since Hakurei’s abduction, security had been ramped up in the Chou manor at Sekiei’s insistence. That said, I had given the exact same order, though I hadn’t told him that.

It was a new moon that night, and without the celestial orb illuminating everything outside the window, the room seemed darker than usual, though I could still make out the princess imperial curled up in her bed, her breathing slow and even as she slumbered peacefully.

“Seriously, this girl...” I sighed, a small smile spreading across my face. Only a few minutes earlier, she had been going on about how she was wanting to stay up because she was worried about Sekiei. I patted her on the head and murmured, “This is the best night to sneak out of the manor.”

Chou Sekiei had a keen eye for openings, so I doubted he would let this particular one slip past him. He was sure to do something—

“I see. Thank you,” I replied, my voice sounding much colder than I expected it to. That idiot! That big stupid idiot! Yui must have sensed something in the air because the black cat jumped up onto my left shoulder, though I ignored it. “Have you notified the team we put together beforehand?” I asked Shigou.

“You mean the most experienced veterans Teiha lent us and my handpicked subordinates? If so, yeah, I did exactly as you ordered. Kouzen’s in charge of them.”

Teiha must also have noticed that Sekiei had been acting weird. It seemed he wasn’t the vice-commander of the Chou army for nothing.

As I ran a hand through Yui’s fur, I issued my orders. “Guard all the gates out of Keiyou.”

“Understood.” I couldn’t see Shigou but I felt his presence disappear from the window. He was a sensible commander, despite his rough countenance.

A sliver of light fell into the room as a serious-looking Asaka opened the door and whispered, “Lady Ruri! Lord Sekiei has—”

“Asaka, look after Miu.” I approached the attendant and placed my hand on her shoulder. “Hakurei really is loved, wouldn’t you say?” I tied my hair into a loose ponytail, then handed Yui over to Asaka. “That idiot, Sekiei, plans to save
