I was jealous that Vernoux could change his mood so easily, but he probably wanted to avoid talking about this. Without concealing that feeling, he brought up a different topic.

Oh Come to think of it, it seems like Dilly wont be back for the New Year celebrations.

Yeah. Isma and Elvis will be working anyways. She said she met Cyrus in Ertiga.

Ertiga isnt close enough for us to go incognito.

Its not that far that I wouldnt be able to go if I make up some ridiculous excuse.

Dont do that. Clay will get angry if you do.

Vernoux shrugged, and a knocked echoed in the room.

Excuse me, Sylvester-sama.

It was Clay who Vernoux was just talking about.

Wow, speak of the devil

Vernoux said in a small voice, but fortunately, his voice died down before the door opened.

Still, Clay sent an icy gaze to Vernoux when he came into the room.

Vernoux-dono. Where on earth are you sitting?

Well, its a good position to look at paperwork right now.

Even children understand that a desk is not a chair

Ah, hes angry after all. However, Vernoux, who had made Clay angry, didnt seem like he would put up with it at all and got off the desk in disappointment.

Why didnt you tell Vernoux-dono to get off the desk, Sylvester-sama?

No, His Highness did tell me to. I just didnt get off.

Why dont you obey what your Lord tells you to do!?

Well, isnt it fine when no ones around?

You dont know when someone would enter the room! I entered, didnt I?!

I knew it was you from your voice and didnt get off.

Ah, theyve started already.

However, when I see them interacting, I remembered Dilly again.

Come to think of it, Clay also thinks of Dilly as a threat.

Clay hasnt said anything about Dilly in particular since their first meeting. Well, he probably doesnt say anything because he doesnt know that Im exchanging letters with her as 『Gille』. Even so, he didnt like it when I had matches with the Earl before, but it doesnt seem like he minds now.

Its good that he doesnt hate it anymore, but Im a bit curious to know if something happened between him and Dilly. However, if he suspects something because I brought Dilly up, then Dilly might be troubled. Thats why Ive been trying to find the right timing to bring it up, but

Oh, Clay. Whats that?

Its nothing.

A letter slipped onto where the documents were placed from Clays chest pocket, and Vernouxs gaze was glued on it. Clay immediately picked it up and put it into his inner pocket, but that letter is definitely from her.

That sealing wax. I recognise it.

Clay probably didnt intend to talk about it, but he sighed at Vernouxs words and took it out again to show Vernoux.

Of course, you would. It belongs to the Pameradia House.

Eh, who are you writing to?

It doesnt matter, right?
