Note: This part is the Duchess’s point of view.
She just had a good conversation with the young servant the day before. She didn’t expect him to return so soon.
Plus, he brought with him such troubling requests.
“Going out—”
The Duchess swallowed her annoyance and muttered the words as if she was contemplating the request. Edrick was sick and him going outside would only bring her humiliation and disgrace.
However, this ignorant servant couldn’t even see that.
“Yes, the Young Master wants to go out! Can we get ready as soon as possible?”
“Rovel.” When the butler reprimanded from the side, Rovel bit his lips and stopped immediately.
She clicked her tongue inwardly. Even though she wasn’t there herself, She could easily figure out what had happened.
‘I have something important to tell Madam directly!’ Rovel must have persuaded the butler by saying something like this. In the end, it was also the butler’s fault for being so easily convinced by such words.
Recognizing his fault, he bowed politely.
“I apologize, Madam.”
“You don’t have to apologize. I’m the one who asked him to tell me anything he needs. By the way, Rovel. Where did Edrick say he wanted to go?”
“No. That’s— He didn’t tell me anything about it. But it seems to me that he wants to return to his hometown. I’m sure the Young Master misses his hometown as much as I do!”
She sighed. She was only asking just in case. But to call such a hovel the hometown of the Duke’s son…. She wasn’t the only one who felt that way.
The butler’s mouth, which had been praising the new servant, was pressed into a thin line. It was clear that he would be severely reprimanded when the boy left the room.
If possible, that butler should be punished harshly enough to make the child cry.
But contrary to her anger, she spoke softly.
“Sadly, it’s difficult right now. Nemes is a remote and very dangerous place. If Edrick’s condition improves, I’ll consider it.”
But then, Rovel suddenly raised his head.
“If the Black Chain Knights escorted the Young Master, wouldn’t he be safe to go there?”
(End of Duchess’ point of view)
