Not long after Art Van Gaju left, a letter arrived from the family.

I began to read the letter with a happy heart. Hestia approached me cautiously, seeing my expression subtly sinking.

"Why, Miss? What does the letter say?"

"I think it's time to go back, Hestia."

"By family? But why is your face pale..."

"I guess I became attached to this place without even realizing it."

After spending about two months in Kiraas Castle, it was understandable. I felt a mixture of bittersweet and bittersweet.

I can finally go home, but the thing weighing on my mind is Sage.

"I'll go out for a bit."

"Are you going to Kiraas Sogaju?"

"Ahahaha... Yeah."

There was no need to hide it anymore. Everyone knew about my relationship with Sage.

I said I was going and left the room.

When I arrived at the office where Sage was currently staying and knocked on the door, I felt a commotion inside the quiet room and the door opened with a start.

I took a step back in surprise and looked up at my aide, Eve.

He had bags under his eyes, as if he had stayed up for several nights. He looked so pitiful that it made me feel worried.

"......Are you okay?"

As I spoke to her, Eve, who was hurriedly putting her clothes together, stopped and looked at me.

"Hello, Miss Irene. Of course, I'm fine."

"......."

"Have you come to see the master?"

"Yes, that's true... but if you're busy, should I come later?"

Looking at Eve's complexion, it seemed that Sage also had a busy schedule.

When I glanced over Eve's shoulder and said that, he shook his head and said no.

"No, I'm not busy. You can come in."

Can I really come in?

I was a little puzzled, but I nodded and went inside because I had something to say.

Eve stepped aside and told him to come in quickly.

"Irene. Come in."

"Yeah. ......Is it really okay for me to come in?"

I looked around the slightly messy interior and asked again.

It doesn't seem like you were this busy just a few days ago.

As I tilted my head, Eve began to complain.

"I wonder what you're doing all night long... Thanks to you, I have so much work to do that I'm going to die."

"yes?"

"It's not like there's a lot of work to do that requires overtime, but you've been staying up all night, whether it's in the office or in the bedroom. It's been over three weeks already. And it's gotten even worse since the Artban owner passed away..."

"Eve. Stop there and get out."

"all right."

Eve ran out of the office as soon as Sage finished speaking.

It was a look that showed how much he had suffered.

By the way, Sage has been up all night?

That's something I never knew. Why did I skimp on sleep?
