A light dessert after lunch.

Muhela was looking at Sage, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, as if she was having fun.

Even though we lived in the same city, seeing each other's faces was like picking stars from the sky.

"It's so hard to see your face."

Sage shrugged at her prodding.

"Your mother has a bright complexion."

"I feel so relieved that all that's left is to rest!"

"What is that?" asked Muhela, taking a bite of the fruit tart that was served for dessert.

"You didn't hear from me today either?"

"yes."

"When you said you would skip all the coronation formalities, I thought you and your daughter-in-law would be having a meal together by now. It didn't turn out so well."

She raised her eyebrows as if to say something.

Sage, who was clearly visible, sat back comfortably in his chair with his hands clasped together.

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this, so I'm going to wait patiently."

"You're coming now? After doing everything you had to do."

"Now that I think about it, I feel like I pushed things too hard. And I also wonder if Irene is ready to leave the South."

"You even think of something like that......"

"I know you're reacting a bit strangely, Mom."

Sage's expression distorted into a look of displeasure at her rather shocked reaction.

But Sage was sincere.

I wanted to go pick up Irene right away, but I hesitated. Maybe she still needed more time.

Irene would always secretly urge Sage to hurry up... ... .

Muhela thought carefully and then nodded.

"Yes, there's no need to rush. But the Astrophele family is just too much. It's already been over a week since I sent them my marriage proposal."

"You have to listen carefully now. If I just receive your proposal, you will become my father-in-law."

"Ha............. I'm not sure if the person in front of me is really you, Sage."

Muhela shook her head and drank the tea made by steeping fruit syrup.

Sage shrugged.

What can I do? It was the law that the one who was sorry had to bow his head and go in. Since he told me to wait, I had no choice but to wait.

Although it didn't suit his temperament, he tried his best not to upset Kaid since the wedding was at stake.

If you provoke her unnecessarily and delay the marriage, Sage will be the only one who will have to bear the loss.

So Sage decided to take it easy a little.

therefore.......

"My lord!!"

Until he saw Eve running towards him, desperately holding something rectangular in one hand.

Eve looked at Muhela and bowed her head.

"Muhella was here too. ......Phew. I am truly sorry for interrupting your mealtime, but I thought it would be best for your lord to know."

"What."
