Since he's with me, the story has surely changed.

There will be a difference or two, but I'll make sure to be careful in the future so that it can be avoided, especially when it's just me.

"Your grace, can I be excused?"

"You can!"

"... ... ."

I look at the smiling Evangeline, who stopped Charles from answering by jumping in first.

"It's been a long time since you've met your sister, so have fun talking. I am a little tired."

"It looks like you've suddenly become more disciplined."

This girl.

I should maintain my calmness in such atmosphere.

I must put out the fire.

"Haha."

"I see."

"I will tell Ergel to prepare dinner for two."

"How about you?"

No, why do you keep pretending to be a sweet husband again? Since I'm still in front of my sister-in-law, I have to keep up my part of the act.

"I'm going to sleep... Thanks to someone these days, I can't sleep in the evening."

Somebody, please understand this and don't disturb me.

I then give him a look, hoping that he catches the meaning of my words, but the astonishment actually comes from Evangeline.

"No way, that's a lie!"

.

My God, what is the situation now?

Evangeline really begins crying.

I thought that I was dreaming for a moment, but I don't know anymore.

I also don't know how to soothe a crying child or teenager, never mind a grown young lady of this world.

"Oh my, the princess must be surprised that we are a couple unlike before."

Laughing, I then turn around to leave since I have nothing more to say.

As I walk across the parlor, I could feel eyes on my back as Evangeline's cries become louder from what I said.

It's not really my business, is it?

I just want to go back to my room and rest.

I want my bed without anyone in it!

However, my desire to even relax on my sofa falls through terribly. Before I could even let out a satisfied sigh, right away, Curtis knocks on my door.

"Your grace."

Then, Ergel's voice also follows his.

"Your grace."

"Hu-hu-hu-"

Lapel's two greatest forces have gathered here.

"What's going on?"

Both of them come in at the same time.

I then give them a forced smile.

"I have something to report," says Curtis.
