Interlude

“So? What’s the meaning of this?”

“That’s awfully abrupt of you, Allucia.”

In a room with nobody else present, Allucia turned sharp eyes to the man sitting before her. It was the day after her arrival in Flumvelk. As the knight commander and the one in overall charge of this expedition, she’d requested a private meeting with Flumvelk’s lord, Margrave Warren Flumvelk.

She’d wanted to broach the topic on the day of their arrival, even if she’d had to do so late at night, but from a social perspective, that would’ve been far too impolite to the host of the upcoming party. She’d somehow managed to put it off for a day and had rushed to him in the morning.

There were no guards or maids—they were genuinely alone. That was why Allucia had forgone any and all greetings and had cut right to the chase. It was precisely because she was so transparent that, while Warren had criticized her verbally, he didn’t feel any animosity toward her.

“About your sister,” Allucia clarified briefly, taking a seat on the guest sofa.

“I see.”

Warren remained calm, his expression and tone unchanging. She was referring to Warren’s one and only little sister, Shueste. And the reason Allucia was being so quiet—yet clearly showing her indignation—was because Warren had been the one to temporarily assign Shueste as Beryl’s partner.

Allucia understood the logic behind it. Beryl had never experienced the stormy seas of noble society. It was obvious what would happen if they tossed him into a party on his own. He was not only liable to make some kind of verbal promise or commitment on the spot but even three or four. That was exactly why he needed someone experienced with him to ward off the bugs. Allucia had meant to take that role herself, even if she’d had to force the issue. If not for Warren’s meddling, it would’ve been a simple matter to convince Beryl.

Allucia’s current state of mind was rather complex. She knew Warren had no ill intent, but at the same time, he was aware of her feelings. That said, she was disappointed with her inability to make any use of the absolute advantage she had—he already knew about her adoration for him as his former pupil. Warren had no way of knowing that part, though.

“But were there any other good ideas?” Warren asked. “I couldn’t think of any.”

“That’s true, but still...”

Allucia really did understand the logic behind it. That was why she couldn’t criticize Warren’s decision. And when the reasons were explained to her, she couldn’t deny them. Still, logic wasn’t enough to convince her emotions. She was in a strange state as both a woman and as the accomplished commander of the Liberion Order.

“Well, I get how you feel,” Warren said. “You’re worried Master Beryl will get snatched away from you, right?”

Allucia responded with silence. That was exactly the reason. She couldn’t deny the possibility that Beryl would not only enter a relationship with another woman but suddenly marry her too. That wasn’t only limited to Shueste either.
