Beautiful white clouds are swimming in the blue sky, arent there? Dont you think its boring to be studying at a desk on such a beautiful day? Personally, I think it would be more meaningful to do sword training.
In the quiet room, the person who had said that was Vernoux.
Vernoux had been reading a textbook in the corner of the room before, but he had thrown it onto the desk now. And, that book was fanned by the wind that blew in from the window and the pages were flipping on their own. The pages became stationary when the wind stopped, but I dont think that was the page that Vernoux needed.
I also wanted to agree with Vernouxs opinion.
When the weather was this nice, I wanted to be grateful for the peaceful day with a cup of tea in the garden. I dont even mind sword training. But, I was hesitant to say those words.
If I was alone with Vernoux, then I am sure I would agree. But we werent alone. There was another person in this room apart from Vernoux and I.
He was disgusted and advised Vernoux in a voice that sounded as it was crawling on the ground.
Vernoux-dono, do you still not understand? This is not study; it is a substitute for you taking His Highness out of the castle.
His name is Clive Leif Eames.
He is Marquis Eamess son and a young man who had studied abroad, until a few days ago. And, after he had returned home, the situation was that he was now working by my side. I have no recollection of seeing his face before he went to study, but now I see it every day.
Honestly, you cant even settle this matter without someone watching over you?
Clive complained with a sour look on his face, but unfortunately, his expression had no effect on Vernoux at all. Vernoux sat shallowly on the sofa and stretched his legs out in a bad manner, as he refuted.
I didnt really take him out. His Highness wanted to ask Earl Hale something, so I granted his wish. We also made a proper report prior to him going out, right?
Proper, you say? Vernoux-dono, dont anger me too much. You left His Highness and pretended to be him. Then, you deceived me until he returned. And you say you 『reported』it?!
Isnt it fine? If its needed, even if I substitute for His Highness, it was proven by the people around us that they didnt notice, was it not? This is proof that my substitute technique is skilled.
Wh?!
I think its an important lesson, in many ways, you know?
Vernoux was talking with Clive frankly, but Clive looked really irritated.
Your Highness, why are you laughing?
No, sorry.
Indeed, even Clive wouldnt say, Have you reflected, Your Highness? But, I think the fact that I didnt regret sneaking out has been conveyed to him. The slightly exaggerated sigh that I could hear coming from him was proof.
Ive only known Clive for a short amount of time, but even I know that he is earnest, and recognises himself as our watchdog. And I also thought that he was the opposite of Vernoux.
Vernoux was very flexible with things, and that was why he was acting as an intermediary between Dilly and me. However, in other words, there was a part of him that thought, 『its okay if we dont get caught』. Compared to him, Clive was very serious. He was faithful to his principles, enough for Vernoux to call him hard-headed.
The way those two treated me was, of course, different because their personalities were complete opposites.
To me, Vernoux was a good friend to 『Gille』and『Sylvester』. Speaking of rash things, he has warned me not to do something in the past, but he was a bad friend who got me caught up in his plots.
