After I’d spent twenty minutes looking around the garden, I was left with nothing to do. I went to the wharf, sat down, and spaced out.

Another hour and ten minutes to go... This is taking forever.

I soon heard a voice behind me. “Um...”

I twisted my upper body to look and saw the chief attendant, Hinami.

“Could I speak with you for a moment?” she asked.

Instead of answering her question, I asked something that I’d been thinking about. “Got a fishing rod?”

“A...fishing rod?”

“Yeah. I’m bored, so I figured I might fish.”

“There’s probably one in that shed...”

“Can I take a look?”

“Yes...”

I got up and headed over to the shed.

Hinami appeared nervous as she watched.

The shed was full of rope used to moor boats, but amongst it all I found a fishing rod. The fishing line was already set up, hook included. The last step was to flip over a nearby rock to find a bug that I could stick on the hook.

I’ve no idea what I’m doing, but I guess this bug should make good bait. Can’t see why not.

I returned to the wharf, sat down, and cast into the water.

“Um...” Hinami was still behind me.

“What’s up?”

“I wanted to talk with you about something.”

“Sure. If it’s going to take a while, you should sit down. Unless you don’t want your clothes getting dirty, that is.”

“Thank you,” she said before laying a handkerchief of sorts on the ground and sitting on it. “Now, if I could speak with you...”

“Go on.”

“Will Princess Tellur be allowed to live here indefinitely?”

Ah, Tellur’s living arrangement...

Tellur had lived in the royal castle until just three weeks ago, but then she’d been transferred here instead after news of Reforme’s fall had reached us—though “transferred” was a polite way of saying she’d been kicked out.

“My advice would be to move out soon. Then again, if the royal family gets sick of her, they’ll soon tell her to get lost. She can probably stick around until they do. But make sure she pays for this place’s maintenance.”

Tellur had the money, after all.

“I see... Um, is this kingdom’s royal family shunning Princess Tellur?”

What a blunt question.

“I shouldn’t really speak for the royal family since I’m not a member, and I’m not sure you’ll understand what I mean, but...personally, I don’t think they want anything from Princess Tellur. Politics is like a theater, and they want her off the stage. It doesn’t mean they want her dead either.”

“I see. They won’t...do anything, then?”

“If Princess Tellur does take the stage, the Kilhinans will focus on her instead trying to be part of Shiyalta. The last thing anyone in government wants is to see a nation forming inside a nation. That’s the real reason she was moved out of the royal castle. Having her around causes problems.”

“Ah, okay. Then what she really needs to do is live here quietly.”

“Basically, yeah.”

I got the impression that this attendant was just an ordinary girl. She lacked Myalo’s exceptional wisdom, but she wasn’t a simpleton either. I could tell she was concerned for Tellur.
