“Dame Chris might be waiting for just the right moment,” she said.

“Huh? What? Will I be attacked or something?”

“Nothing of the sort. She’s just trying to time things out.”

Befuddled, Ein tilted his head to one side.

“Why don’t you try heading to the balcony? Dame Chris might show up if you wait there for a while,” Krone suggested.

“I-Is that a prediction or woman’s intuition?”

“Don’t you worry. My instincts are usually correct in these situations.”

Upon seeing Krone’s confident and firm response, Ein was convinced—she was good at doing that.

“Then I guess I’ll go on over,” he said.

“Please do. I’m sure she’ll find you.”

Ein left Krone’s side and headed for the balcony. He couldn’t stay outside for long as it was quite chilly with all the snowfall.

“I don’t get it,” he mumbled, repeating Krone’s words of reassurance in his head. He failed to understand what she meant.

A short while later...

“A-Ah, fancy meeting you here, Sir Ein!” Chris said, approaching the boy. She seemed to be restless and had both hands unnaturally folded behind her back.

“You really came,” Ein muttered, astonished that Krone was right. He stared blankly at the knight, as though she had been dragged outside by some unknown force. “I haven’t seen you all day, Chris. Where were you?”

“M-Me? Uh, errr... Right! I was assisting Martha! There were some odd jobs I had to take care of...”

“No, you weren’t. Martha’s been at the party as a guest.”

“R-Really?”

“No, not really. I told a fib, but I now know that you did too. Ugh, it’s so cold out here...”

Chris faltered for a moment after realizing she’d been tricked, but her face glimmered with a sliver of hope thanks to Ein’s seemingly innocuous statement. She proceeded to waltz towards the boy.

“W-Well, of course it is if you walk out dressed like that. Y-You see, I just happen to have something to help with that. You may have it if you’d like!” she said as she wrapped a soft piece of cloth around Ein’s neck.

A strange warmth came off the garment, but it warmed the prince nonetheless.

“Huh? Is this a scarf?” Ein asked.

“P-Precisely! It was a stroke of luck that I had it with me!”

“I see... Huh?”

Ein noticed a seal on the end of the scarf. It was from the store they’d visited the other day. Did Chris...

He understood why Chris had been acting so suspicious. The knight was so unaccustomed to giving gifts that she was too embarrassed to even approach him today. Krone’s words were finally starting to make sense.

“Well, I did say that I wanted a scarf while we were at the pier,” Ein said.

“Wh-Wh-Wh-Whatever are you talking about?”

“I have a present for you as well, Chris. Thank you for such a wonderful birthday gift and for always looking after me.” Ein took a small box from his pocket—one similar to the box that he received from Krone. “I actually purchased a few items myself. I have one for my mother and Krone too, but I thought I’d give this to you first.
