"That's strange. The wizard usually marks the barrier when absent. So that no one walks there in vain. Did she forget?"
"... I guess so."
Melissa tilted her head as if she still didn't understand.
The moment she saw Kael smiling at a strange woman, Adeline turned around and walked away from the cabin.
Even Adeline herself didn't know why she did that. She didn't realize she was walking forward until Melissa, who was waiting in front of the barrier, caught her.
Adeline said that there was no wizard in the cabin, and that today was not the day to meet, so she asked Melissa to hurry back.
In the end, they returned to the castle without fulfilling their purpose, and even today, when the new day dawned, Melissa still didn't understand the situation.
"But she's such an immaculate wizard... Did something happen?"
"People can't always be perfect, after all. It could be that we made a mistake and went there when we shouldn't."
"But still... The more I think about it, the stranger it is. I've heard so much about that wizard."
Adeline replied vaguely, then looked away from the window.
Since she saw Kael's smile yesterday, that scene hadn't left her head.
Even when she closed her eyes, she remembered, and it wavered in front of her. Even so, she couldn't go to Kael and ask him.
Judging by the purple hair and the atmosphere she exuded, the woman Kael was facing was clearly the wizard who was the owner of the cabin.
So, she just needed to ask lightly about how the two of them were related. But strangely, her heart jumped, and she couldn't even go to him, let alone ask him.
'Why am I like this? It's not like I don't trust Kael.'
The more she thought about it, the stranger it was. It wasn't like she didn't know how Kael was looking at her, and she knew that his feelings for her weren't small either. She was trying to find out about the curse, so she couldn't believe that she was so nervous because Kael smiled at a strange woman.
'Am I scared? I always thought he would only be kind to me, so maybe I was surprised to see that he could be kind to other people besides me?'
She had been trying so hard to find a reason, but she couldn't see a clear answer.
"Then when should we go back? Since the party is the day after tomorrow, it will be difficult to go there tomorrow. Should we go after the party?"
"Ah... Yeah. Let's think about it after we wrap up the party."
"Yes, Your Grace."
She was in a hurry to find out a little faster, but the scene she encountered yesterday made her afraid to visit the cabin.
She kept thinking that if she went back, she might face Kael again.
"Your Grace. It is said that the hall is all ready. They're only fixing one of the chandeliers."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. Would you like to go see it now?"
"Yeah. It's better to check quickly to see if there's anything that needs to be fixed."
As Isabel entered the room, Adeline jumped up from her seat without even giving her a chance to sit down.
She felt like she had to focus on the party to clear her mind a little.
