Contrary to his worries, the inside of the carriage was peaceful.

After a little conversation in the beginning, Argon opened the book and started reading. Even a conversation was nothing.

"What is that bag?"

"Nothing."

He was not ask for more to that cold reply. He just said 'Okay'.

'I thought it would be true, but fortunately.'

Argon Isaberg. He said he was Lilienne's older brother.

Kanna thought maybe he resembled her and had a dirty personality, but it must have been a prejudice.

'I don't even look alike. Even though he's a man, he's prettier this way. He look exactly like Queen Teresa...'

Kanna secretly examined Argon.

'But why did the Empress do this to Argon?'

Anyway, Argon and Amelia are half siblings. He is not the Empress's real son. There are separate siblings.

'It must be quite sensitive to entrust the treatment of the Princess, but to have the concubine's son, not her real son to escort me?'

Doubt flew like a dagger. In one breath, the back of her neck felt sore. At that time, Argon, who was reading a book, raised his head, and popping questions.

"I heard that Lilienne made you cry?"

"...Yes?"

"I heard the Duchess cried."

What are you talking about out of the blue?

'Ah, was it about yesterday's party?'

"Yes.. That's right."

"Huh. Too bad."

It was unexpected. Is he trying to comfort her?

"I want to see you cry too."

"..."

"I was always out on the terrace so I didn't see it."

"..."

"Well, there will be an opportunity later."

What chance??

'What bullshit are you talking about?'

Throwing away the words like a bomb, Argon started reading again as if he had lost interest.

'I've heard rumors that he's a big freak.. Is that really it?'

When she slowly start to doubt...

"...!"

As the carriage came to a rough stop, Kanna's body jerked to the side. Right before her face slams against the wall.

"Are you okay?"

Argon pulled her.

Kanna's heart skipped a beat because is it wasn't for him, she would have been helplessly slapped in the face. If that happen, she would have probably cracked her nose bone.

"It's okay."

Then the carriage door slammed open. It was a coachman with a troubled face.

"I'm sorry. It seems there is a problem with the wagon wheels."

"Wheel?"

"Yes. I'm terribly sorry, but could you please come out for a moment? I think I need to take the wheel out and fix it."

"Well, yes."

Argon said nothing and went out of the carriage. As soon as his feet hit the ground, his expression distorted.
