When they arrived at the castle, Christina and Ted were called on by separate people first. Are we doing the interviews individually? Cordelia thought, but she was guided to the parlour with Emina. They were treated to tea and sweets.
(This looks delicious This isnt the time to say that, right?)
Cordelia was puzzled because she didnt know what was going on and Clarice smiled gently.
Im sorry, but its okay.
Mm?
You dont have to talk if you dont want to.
Cordelia finally realised her situation when she saw Clarices expression and heard what shed said. Shes considerate towards a child who probably experienced something scary.
(You dont have to be that considerate though)
She was definitely nervous when she had confronted him, but she had already calmed down. Her fear might have flown off somewhere when the young man had thoroughly angered her at the end. But even so, that didnt mean she wanted to meet him again.
In any case, she was sorry for wasting time.
( Honestly, this wont be settled with the word irritating.)
She got more irritated the more she thought of it. What play? Stop messing around.
But, on the other hand, she was also concerned.
(I dont know how much I should tell her.)
She questioned how much she could say when she thought about Christina. Of course, she had to give Clarice information about the young man, but if the conversation were to change to the silk, then she didnt know how much she should say. In the first place, she didnt know how true a childs words would sound.
(I want to talk to Cyrus-oniisama Should I say that?)
The conversation wouldnt change even if she spoke to Cyrus. However, she could probably deduce what information was necessary and which wasnt if she spoke with him. It shouldnt be weird for a 『scared child to rely on her older brother』.
Keighley-sama Mm, can I talk to my Onii-sama? I dont mind if he cant talk to me until later.
Of course. The Deputy Commander has also ordered me to let you talk to him.
Th-thank you very much.
Cyrus had already taken care of Cordelias concern. Onii-sama is so impressive. She thought as she drank her tea.
At any rate.. The Deputy Commanders intuition is excellent.
Claire looked relieved when she saw Cordelia drink the tea. Cordelia tilted her head in confusion.
Onii-samas intuition?
Yes. He said he had a bad feeling and the man really showed up! Im happy that no one got injured.
From what Clarice was saying, Cordelia concluded that they guessed the young man would be there. Its not surprising for the knights to have information on the Dark Guilds, she thought, but she still couldnt ask about it further. If she asked about it now, then she would have to talk.
Ill be leaving now. If you need anything, please ring the bell.
I will. Thank you.
Cordelia watched Clarice leave the room and confirmed that the door had closed, then she let out a short sigh. She couldnt relax, but she felt calmer when there werent people around.
(But 『his intuition is spot on』?)
How far did his intuition go? How much did he predict? She thought as she looked at Emina who was sitting across from her.
