Chapter 76:
Janice, left alone, smiled dejectedly.
“……You’re pushing me away.”
There must be something wrong with him.
Leon nevertheless did not look for me. Rather, he was strongly wary.
Even if I hold out here, I won’t be able to get in.
People are not allowed to enter unless invited by magic tower.
Janice is now an uninvited guest.
“I have to go back.”
If I take my time like this, the knights may not be able to find me and inform Delther.
The thought made me feel uneasy.
If Delther finds out I’m here…….
“No.”
I don’t know what’s gonna happen then. Above all, he is not connected to me.
Don’t tell me, Delther will also find out that Leon have a problem?
That was difficult.
It was my fault to act foolishly and hastily.
“I have to go quickly.”
“I don’t think there’s a need to be in such a hurry.”
“…….”
Frozen on the spot, Janice saw Delther appearing before her.
No way.
He also seems to know where I am.
Maybe he was watching.
“……Your Highness, what brings you here?”
“I want to ask you, why are you here?”
Delther stared still at Janice, who was shaking.
She seem to be shaking like a scared deer when she see me.
He didn’t even do anything, but she was like this all the time.
Even this was canceled due to the Delther that appeared in front of her. Janice tried to hide her embarrassed look and looked at Delter.
“I was just curious. I’ve never been to the tower.”
“Princess Janice.”
Delther looked at Janice and smile.
“If you can’t lie, close your mouth. It would be better.”
“……Go back.”
“I intend to do so anyway.”
He smiled, gently embracing Janice’s waist.
“How does it feel to be abandoned by your companion? Are you miserable? Or…….”
“That’s enough.”
Janice glanced at Delther. She didn’t want to argue with him.
He shrugged lightly and headed straight for the palace.
* * *
“Well, Your Highness!”
“Why are you making such a fuss?”
“That’s what the princess…… What?”
The knights who returned to the palace without finding Janice ran when they found Delther.
But soon he saw Janice standing beside him, and he turned white.
“Sorry, I’m sorry!”
“Let’s bury your sins separately. Don’t make a noise and return to your seat calmly.”
“Yes, yes!”
The knights disappeared with a stunned look.
Just in time, the aide approached Delther and whispered in his ear.
“Your Majesty is looking for you.”
“……What’s going on?”
“It’s probably related to the Velois family.”
“I got it.”
Delther sighed deeply. He can’t believe this damn old man couldn’t stand the bird and call it out again.
He saw Janice standing next to him.
“Now go back to the room.”
“No, I’ll go with you.”
“……You’ll hear good things. Do as you please.”
After all, the emperor’s attention will be all about Elle. So it won’t make a difference if she goes with him.
Delther headed to the reception room with Janice.
As soon as the door opened, his father poured out abusive language.
Looking at his expression, he seemed to had something unpleasant, but he didn’t care because it happened more than once or twice.
“You still haven’t found her, have you? You’re an incompetent fellow.”
The emperor drew his tongue at Delther.
I can’t believe he have to make such a fuss because I haven’t found a girl.
It even bothered me that Count Edgar’s movements were unusual.
Elle was with Janice and disappeared. He don’t know what to make up when she show up.
Therefore, the emperor tried to find Elle quickly.
Because he had no idea what the Velois family would do.
Also, if he find her first, he’ll have a chance to take Edgar into his hands.
“What about your dogs?”
“……I released it. So we’ll find her soon.”
Delther tried to close his expression.
He couldn’t report that they had already moved to his father and they had been hit by someone.
“……Janice is here, too. I don’t mean to reprimand you.”
Janice lowered her eyes with her hands neatly gathered.
“Your Majesty, we were not really related. The royal family has nothing to do with lady Elle , so don’t worry.”
“Yes, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just got in trouble with the barrel that I was hanging over there.”
The emperor smiled softly at Janice.
In fact, it didn’t matter if it was related to Elle’s disappearance.
Rather, I wanted to compliment him because he eliminated the existence that was a thorn in her side.
However, my opinion is that the opinions of the other nobles and the deities differ.
“It feels good to see you after a long time.”
Above all, the emperor softened up when he saw Janice.
Janice, who had the face of the woman he loved, evoked memories.
Janice’s body flinched every time such a glance touched her.
“Father, I have something to tell you.”
“If it’s not an important story, do it later.”
“It’s important.”
Delter made a chin at Janice.
“Let’s get the Princess out.”
“No, I’ll be here, too. I think he deserve to hear it.”
Janice shook her head. She was afraid of what Delter would say after letting her out.
“Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s the person involved.”
Janice was horrified by Delther’s words.
No way.
She hurriedly raised her head and made eye contact with Delther, reaching out and grasping his wrist.
‘No, no…….’
It was clear that he was about to say now that Delther and her had a companion imprint.
That would put Leon in a difficult position. In addition, it is an act that takes away my hope.
“I will! I will say it first.”
“……What?”
“Father, I have a pattern of companion.”
Janice hurriedly took off her accessories and revealed her wrist.
The crescent moon was visible with a vivid gold pattern. In her words, the emperor drew an unexpected smile.
“He’s a man of his own…”
Isn’t that precious gold, too.
“Did you find your companion?”
“Yes.”
Janice had no hesitation. Delther looked at her with an angry look, but he couldn’t do anything because he was in front of the emperor.
“Who is it?”
“My companion….”
Janice’s body trembled with her eyes closed tightly.
“It’s sir Leon. He is the current head of the magic tower.”
“……You!”
Delther couldn’t resist and grabbed her shoulder roughly.
“Your Highness knew him.”
“Master of the magic tower? Wasn’t he the knight of lady Elle from the Velois family?”
The emperor swept his chin with a complex expression.
If the Velois family knew about this, it would be quite a headache.
The thought kept making him smile.
Edgar’s face is going to rot because it can’t be distorted.
The story Janice told him was quite interesting.
I heard she had a companion, so I tried to kill him and get rid of him.
However, the hands and feet of the Velois family needed to be around.
Delther gritted his teeth as he looked at Janice.
‘You were going to do this from the beginning.’
It is common for only one pair to appear.
However, if he find out that the same pattern appeared, father would regard it as wrong.
Janice was as good as hitting the ball first to stop me.
“Yes, that’s right. Now he’s from a family. What do you think? I think he is a necessary person for the royal family.”
She went on to drive a wedge.
“It is said that the master of magic tower was changed not too long ago. As my father knows, he have made great contributions in the war.”
“Yes, I’ve heard a lot of stories. I didn’t know Edgar would have hidden such a talent.”
It’s certainly tempting.
Above all, if he was imprinted, he would be forced to stand by the royal family.
“That’s why I need my father’s help.”
Janice looked up and stared at the emperor.
“I want to make sure that he’s my companion.”
“But, didn’t he ask you to the magic tower?”
If he was a wizard, you couldn’t force someone who was the master of the tower.
There will be a lot of opposition, and he doesn’t know the level of power he has.
“Give me a royal permit to visit the tower. So that they can’t say no.”
“…Is that all right?”
The emperor looked surprised. He thought there was something different about her confident expression.
“Father! That won’t do.”
Delther stopped Janice. He can’t believe she’s thinking of colluding with Leon like this.
“He has lady Elle of the Velois family in mind.”
“In spite of the culture, keep others in mind….”
It’s impossible. But there was no way that Delther would lie to him.
“But no one can beat the pattern.”
“The pattern is supposed to disappear when the other person dies.”
Delter’s words chilled the surroundings.
Janice looked at him with astonished eyes, and the emperor also had a different look than before.
“Yes, I know very well.”
I know better than anyone else that the way to break off tough patterns is life.
“So you must never let the Princess meet with Leon alone. As long as he has come to power.”
“You have a point. I’ll think about this for a moment.”
“Father… But, I’m.”
“Janice. Didn’t this father say I’ll think about it.”
“……Yes.”
The emperor’s glaring eyes gave her a hasty bow.
There was nothing good about getting on his nerves. She threw the cards, so she have no choice but to wait.
“Well, then, we’ll get going.”
Delther took Janice’s hand and dragged her out of the audience room.
