IT was very late at night.

She heard a low voice, followed by the sound of a closet being opened and closed. Sara slipped out of bed.

Putting on only her slippers and leaving her bedroom, she saw Claire standing in the middle of the living room, as if she had been waiting for her.

It was strange seeing Claire here this late—normally she would go back to her own room at night.

“Claire…”

“Princess Hermine… I’m very sorry, but I’ve been told not to let you leave.”

“I understand… His Highness is going out, isn’t he? I want to tell him good night,” said Sara in a firm voice.

Claire grimaced. But she didn’t seem displeased at Sara’s words—rather, she looked at her with pity, as if she were pained by her determination.

“I don’t recommend doing that.”

“I know. But I haven’t wished him good night yet tonight. That’s all I’ll say.”

“……”

Faced with this refusal to back down, Claire eventually caved and dressed Sara in only a dressing gown.

Sara thanked her and, after pausing at the door for just a moment, went out into the foyer when she heard the door to the study open.

Richard stepped out of his study and into the dim light of the foyer. When Sara saw him, tears spilled from the outer corners of her eyes.

He wore black clothes and a mask that covered his entire face. His breath seemed to catch when he first saw her standing there. After a stretch of silence, she heard his muffled voice.

“Why are you crying?”

“I don’t know… When I saw you there, I just started crying for some reason.”

“……”

“…Good night, Your Highness. I eagerly await your return.”

Having accomplished her goal, Sara had just been about to return to her room when he called out to her.

“You…”

When she looked back, she saw Richard standing there, both hands clenched into tight fists.

“…You’ve already realized, haven’t you?”

Sara didn’t respond.

“…I will call you to my room tomorrow night. Don’t leave your room until then.”

If it were any other time, he would have told her in a soft voice, “Please don’t leave.” Now, however, his tone was so commanding that a chill of sadness spread through Sara’s chest.

But it was easy to see that he was hurting terribly, too. Sara meekly nodded and curtsied.

“…I understand.”

Richard didn’t say anything in return. He left with a swish of his coattails, and Sara caught a whiff of a scented sachet coming off him.
