After lunch with Kaid, I returned to my room and sat down at my desk.

As I heard the shocking news that the Marinette family was still staying in the Annex and even being detained there, I worked hard with my pen.

Kaid's information may not be wrong, but it would still be better to verify the facts through him.

As I was writing, I realized that all the sentences ended in questions.

Wouldn't you be quite surprised if you received it? Sage had more than one or two questions to answer.

"But that's because Sage didn't explain it properly."

"Your Majesty. What on earth did you do?"

"what."

"It's a letter. I thought it would take a week, but it came already."

Eve tilted her head as if something was wrong.

Sage opened the letter leisurely. As he had expected, Irene contacted him in less than two days.

And that too with such a thick letter.

"I guess a week was too long."

He stopped what he was doing and focused on the letter. His curved eyes read the letter with pleasure.

The rounded font reminded me of Irene, and the corners of my mouth naturally curved upward.

"I have a lot of questions."

I wonder if it would be good if you paid this much attention in normal times.

Sage paused for a moment whenever there was a sentence with a question mark in it.

[I heard that I would inherit the family title. Why didn't you tell me such an important story?]

Of course, it was to get a quick reply from Irene like now.

[Am I sure what I heard is correct? What are you up to, Sage?]

If you ask what I'm up to, this is also an extension of the previous answer.

And Sage was quite pleased with the results.

[Are you done talking with Muhela?]

"He's making a fuss to give up his seat as quickly as possible. He hates being a headache."

The time has come to inherit.

He had been in the position of the head of the household for quite some time, so it seemed like he wanted to step down now.

Contrary to his appearance, Muhela was not young.

[What do you mean you gave me another mine? You don't have to force it.]

"Who forced this?"

When the person involved said this, it was not very convincing.

And it's not like I'm being unreasonable to just give you a few mines.

It's true that the beavers were treated harshly, but it's not to the extent that we should be concerned.

Sage chuckled at the rather amusing worry.

"Why are you laughing like that? It's a little scary. You've been talking to yourself for a while now."

"Because it's cute."

"......yes?"

"What happened to the task I instructed you about last time?"

"You mean the thing I suggested to the beavers? They seemed half-hearted about the mine idea, but they said they would consider it positively. The mood has already changed."
