"Well, since Theo just fell asleep."

Carcel took her to his office.

This time, he didn't even call out to Robert. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he had forgotten that he should offer her some tea.

After he managed to organize his thoughts, Carcel broke the long silence and spoke.

"I heard that the person who came up with the plan was Miss."

Charlotte was surprised, but responded calmly without any sign of agitation.

"What's plan ? It's the first time I'm hearing about it."

"The carriage Operation."

'How ?'

I think he knows everything.

Even when she thought that Carcel knew everything, she spoke as if she knew nothing.

"I don't know what do you mean. It was a crafty operation, but what happened?"

"Dame Celine has told me everything."

Celine, why did you do that? We were supposed to keep it a secret.

Charlotte bit her lip and smiled embarrassingly.

Usually as long as you smile no one would care what you say (even if it's wrong) so I thought it would be better if I smile.

But I could still feel the cold wind blowing from Carcel's direction .

It was a reaction that Charlotte could not understand.

It was a big deal for Dame Celine to reveal the secret, but in the end it was a good thing because in the end they found the spy.

She couldn't technically say that Charlotte was unrelated because she considers that she was attacked too.

'Oh, maybe because of Theo?'

Carcel probably thought Charlotte and Dame Celine had put Theo in danger and his reaction was understandable.

"If it was because of Theo then don't worry, he was hiding in the palace with Emma at the time. It wasn't Theo who rode with me, it was a tedy bear in Theo's clothes."

I thought this explanation would soften Carcel's expression but for some reason his eyebrows wrinkled even more.

With this unexpected reaction, I realized that this was not what he wanted.

'So why ?'

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find the answer and then asked Carcel in a slightly angry voice.

"What were you going to do, miss?"

"What ?"

"Miss could have been hurt."

"Nothing happened... Sir Ahin was beside me, and I went straight to the palace. Even if the transportation magic didn't work, Sir Ahin would have protected me. Of course, Dame Selene and the other knights were there."

Charlotte added cautiously, watching Carcel.

"These are the knights that the Duke personally chose, you trusted their skill."

"They are reliable and highly skilled people, but what if something went wrong...."

He paused and let out a sigh without even continuing to speak. He couldn't understand why he was arguing with her in this way.

As a result, things went well. No one was hurt and everyone was fine, and with Charlotte's help they were able to find the spy faster.

He should thank her, he should be thankful, not angry at her.
