However, it had been his mistake as he had come to meet at first without making an appointment. So the Marquis had lightly passed it over, and when he thought about it again, he felt that the Crown Prince of the empire would not come to see him in a simple matter, so he listened to Vika.

"His Highness said he wanted to confirm something."

"What is it?"

"It's about your son."

"... my son?"

'Does it mean Chloe?' Even recently, Chloe had caused trouble and her wife had been lying down. When he remembered it and frowned, Vika continued to talk, clearing his throat.

"Yes. There is a lady in the empire that looks exactly like your son. I can't guarantee that I can only confirm it with a portrait, but it's very similar to the face painted on that portrait anyway."

"...What do you mean?"

"You should check her face once, but His Highness said, "Didn't his son have his descendant right in the empire?"

At the words, the Marquis of Piast frowned even more.

'Chloe? Did he get his offspring in the empire? What a ridiculous nonsense! Why can't I hand my title to him?' Thinking again, even though he knew it sounded ridiculous, he couldn't help but recall the name that Vika had mentioned. It was because nothing more could be done for his son.

'I didn't say Chloe was my son in the first place... What does the Crown Prince know?'

He had been surprised at a moment and exchanged a few words, but in the end, it had sounded ridiculous and he had finished the conversation. 'How did he know about Chloe and claim that he had a child?' Nevertheless, his mouth tickled because he wanted to turn the carriage.

He kept thinking about Vika's words that there was nothing to lose with his confirmation. If he only confirmed as he said, it was not a loss. He didn't think it was possible, but if the lady was Chloe's child, as Vika had said, the woman his son had missed so much would be there with the lady. And if it was true, she would be his granddaughter.

'Is it better to turn the wagon too?'

Looking out the window, the carriage was already approaching his quarters. He felt the speed slowing. Of course, if it stopped, it was reversible, but he was impatient.

'Isn't that the king Lohan told everything to the Crown Prince?'

It was possible. For convenience, he had told Lohan about his private matter. Nothing was as insignificant as to doubt his lord, but it wasn't Lohan, but the previous King of Croa, who had promised to keep the secrets of Chloe and Violet. Therefore, he was not in a position to regret if Lohan had spoken the secret. Of course, he was not so easy to uncover his secret, but it was one of the possibilities.

"We're here."

While so worried about his complex feelings, the carriage stopped and the voice of the driver was heard from the outside. The driver had been employed directly in the empire, but now it was a somewhat familiar voice.

He was hired for a short period of time without revealing his identity, but the driver was a competent person who responded intimately without compromising his status and force in the Marquis of Piast. Even if it wasn't the report of the driver, the Marquis could see that he had arrived in a view out of the window, but could not get off.

"... We're here."

When he had no answer and no signs, the driver again announced the arrival. After sitting for a while, he decided that it would be a good idea to check it.
