The day dawned. As planned, Set and Arban returned.

The two were able to receive a grand send-off just as they had been welcomed the first time.

But unfortunately, Muhela was absent. It seemed that he was busy due to recent changes in the situation on the continent.

"Take care, Irene. I'll come get you."

"You guys should be careful on your way back too. Don't worry too much about me."

"You haven't forgotten what I told you, have you?"

"huh."

When it comes to Sage's work, he had already received instructions to the point where he could recite them even in his sleep.

I answered right away, knowing full well why the two of them were worried. Arban, whose expression had relaxed, waved his hand and told them to go in.

I shook my head.

"I saw my brothers leaving."

"Okay, if that makes you feel better, then I'll do that."

Set smiled faintly and climbed into the carriage. He said that the Kiraas family would accompany him on his way.

Everyone looked surprised, as if they had not expected that they would be treated to this degree.

"See you at home, Irene."

"huh."

"Ah, I think you'd better come back quickly."

The set spoke as if it had just come to mind. Then Arban also said, 'Ah.'

"What?"

I couldn't wait for the next words out of curiosity so I asked Set and he smiled slightly.

"Father has completely changed the interior of the castle. I think he secretly hopes you'll like it."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Everyone's waiting."

"Then I'll go quickly..."

I was conscious of my surroundings and lowered my voice. I didn't want them to know why I came to the North.

"Looking at it, I guess you don't have to worry. You see, hyung?"

"That's right. I feel relieved."

With those words, the carriage left the city gate. As I watched the two leave, my expression hardened.

Maybe it was because it was morning, but my physical condition wasn't that good.

Fortunately, there were no problems seeing him off, but it seemed like he should go back and rest quickly. Hestia, who was nearby, spoke quietly in a worried voice.

"I think you'd better go back to your room, miss."

"Yeah. I was thinking of doing that anyway."

Because it's embarrassing to show everyone that you're changing your necklace.

I stopped in front of Sage. I was going back, but I thought it was right to say hello.

"Sage, tell Master Muhela that I thank you. I would like to greet you in person, but I heard that you are busy these days."

"You're a bit out of your mind. Thanks to the Artban family."

The Artban family, which had been forgotten for a moment, came out of Sage's mouth.

The North must also be very interested in that matter. At times like this, we had to be even more careful.

I smiled as if nothing had happened.
