Something unavoidable must have happened to the Astrophel family.

Otherwise, there was no way Irene could have been sent north so easily.

But the letter only contained vague information about Irene wanting to keep her promise to Sage.

Muhela stood up leisurely.

Things were going interestingly.

"I'll be back shortly, as I have someone to tell you this news."

"Huh?! Lord Muhela, just a moment!"

Arisa called her urgently. But Muhela only waved her hand lightly and left the office.

Muhela passed the vassals who greeted him and headed towards the mansion's training grounds.

There was Sage, who had grown up from a young boy.

In a world filled with white, Sage, with golden hair and blue eyes, slowly turned his gaze.

"mother?"

Sage grimaced the moment he saw Muhela's meaningful expression.

"Why are you coming with that look on your face? You look so uncomfortable."

"What do you mean by me?"

"You know."

"What a pity. Where did the cute Sage go?"

Muhela shook her head. There was no trace of Sage from her childhood anymore.

It was fun to tease him back then, but now that he's grown up, it's not fun anymore.

But the corners of Muhela's lips showed no sign of coming down.

Because this time I was confident.

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

How will he react when he finds out that Irene is coming to the North? Will he be happy? Or will he be indifferent?

Maybe he had forgotten Irene's existence. Sage never mentioned Irene again after that day.

It may have been just a fleeting feeling during childhood.

"I have news for you, Sage."

"To me?"

"Yeah, do you remember Irene?"

"......Irene?"

Sage tilted his head as if he didn't know.

Muhela looked at Sage's face, wondering if it was true.

There was no sign of any emotional ups and downs. The pheromone, which was extremely calm, actually made Muhela feel embarrassed.

"You don't remember, do you?"

"I remember."

"Then what about the time you invited Irene to the North?"

Sage kept his mouth shut.

Muhella touched his forehead. Then that's it.

It seems that it was just a fleeting feeling from childhood.

Well, that was common.

Besides, Sage never mentioned Irene again after that day.

Muhel's excitement has completely cooled.

"Anyway, I heard your friend Irene is coming to the North."

"ah."

It was a dry response. Muhela couldn't hide his disappointment.
