"Isn't it obvious?"
I got angry and threw it at him. After all, I was sincerely worried that everything would collapse in a moment. But Jeremy just smiled at me with the bravado he was used to.
"What is so hilarious, tell me? For some reason, I'm not funny."
He just nearly lost his head, but took this danger as fun?
"Sorry. I didn't take Ellie's concerns seriously. Only now... I feel so good right now... No, really. Okay, I won't do it anymore."
Jeremy suddenly changed his tone.
"But why did you break in like that? Couldn't he just disappear when he saw the emperor?"
"No way. If I wanted to avoid him, I would not have put such a play there."
And Jeremy wasn't lying. If he wanted to avoid meeting the emperor, he would not have attracted everyone's attention and would not have revealed his identity.
But I really didn't understand - why?
"Then why did you make your way to us like a thief? I could have walked in, as it should be, and proudly say the name of the family."
"I knew you'd say that. But how was I supposed to appear on the doorstep if I left the Drua family?"
His voice faltered at the moment with the name 'Drua'.
"I know better than anyone else what threat the name 'Drua' will bring, and I don't want to frame Ellie once again."
He cares about me as much as I care about him.
Nevertheless, you could accept my help at least once.
You have rescued me countless times in the Kingdom of Lund.
And I was completely upset when I stumbled upon one thought. Even in the most difficult situations, his heart cares for me first. And this is so much like the past me.
"Then I'd rather you didn't come at all. No, you should have disappeared even if you came. Why was it so pretentious to jump out in front of the emperor?"
"Well... Actually, I came for Lisa Sios. I didn't want to ruin the evening for everyone. But this reception came to me the only way where I could go to Lady Sios."
"And why did that even happen?"
"Because of Marquis Sios. As I said in front of everyone, the Marquis has connections with the Duke, my father. It's no wonder, the two of them are going to do something... I think trouble is coming."
"That's why I wanted to hand Lisa the watch and quietly give her a warning. But then the emperor himself intervened. And somehow... I had to reveal my status."
"Ha-ha, I don't even know myself why I took such a drastic step."
He smiled and added.
There seems to be some subtext here.
I can't believe that our resourceful Jeremy could not have gotten out of it.
He could wait for Raymond to leave, and then chat with Lisa as much as he liked.
While I was digesting all these details, Jeremy continued:
"At that moment I was very confused."
He took a deep breath and covered his face with both hands. One would think he was very sorry.
Did this trick of his really come out on impulse?
Something was unclean here.
Thanks to Jeremy's initiative, the course of the evening was completely turned around.
