“Is it polite to visit a lady’s room at night?” Even if one of the servants said this, isn’t it fine? Unfortunately, no one pointed out that I’m still an infant and not a lady yet .
“Whath’sh wrong, Nico?”
“Hmm, there’s something I want to ask . ”
Our room also had a living room this time . I offered the sofa to Nico .
“Isn’t it fine to sit around the table? Don’t climb onto the sofa one by one,” Hans said in amazement, but I like the sofa, so isn’t it fine? The problem might be that the sofa is too high . I sat next to Nico and tilted my head . Isn’t hospitality important here?
“Nathawie, shnacwsh . ”
“Leilsama, if you have snacks now, then you won’t have any appetite in the morning . ”
“Hmph . ”
I thought we should eat snacks since Nico was here, but Natalie gently refused . It seemed like the snacks from the other night were an exception .
“Lei, it’s fine . I’m full today . ”
Nico rubbed his stomach .
“I know how it feels to be hungry, so I know how it feels to be full now . ”
“Hmm . ”
I rubbed my stomach too .

“I feew wiwe I can shthiww eath more . ” (I feel like I can still eat more)
“Buffu . ”
“Lei-sama, it’s your imagination . ” As expected, Natalie stopped me . Well, even I think that I’m imagining it . But there’s no loss in saying it . However, when it comes to the differencet between Natalie’s abilities and Hans’s incompetence . I gave up and Nico started talking, “I’ve been looking forward to seeing you at the castle since you turned one . ”
I was surprised when he suddenly brought up something from long ago but tried to recall what had happened back then .
“Lei wash ath home when I wash one . ”
“I thought you weren’t going to come, then one day, father looked serious . He said that you might not come to the castle . ”
“Lei wash ath Weshther at thhath thime . ”
“Hmm . ” Nico nodded heavily .
“I was still only two at that time . I only found out about what had happened to you a few days before you came to the castle . ”
“Reawwy?”
“I heard you were kidnapped, then Hunters rescued you, and that they made an exchange to get you back from Wester . ”
“Ai . ”
‘You don’t know much at all . ’ But he knew the gist of it so I nodded . Nico turned his body to face me .
“Lei, did you see Hollows in Wester?”
Nico’s always serious yellow eyes . They reminded me of the bad guy at the beginning, but Nico’s eyes are so beautiful since they’re different and his personality is different . I wondered how to answer, and Nico reached out and stretched my cheeks .
“Your violet eyes look pretty when I look at them like this . ”

“Guh . ”
That bad guy also said my eyes are purple . However, Nico was purely complimenting them, and his words meant something completely different from the bad guy’s . And the guy who’s laughing right now will get a pay cut .
“Nico’sh ish preththy thoo . ”
“Really? I’ll look at them in the mirror next time . ”
The conversation has shifted a bit, but I have to answer him .
“Lei hash sheen Howwowsh . ”
“So, you have . ” Nico nodded as if he understood and the rest of the room gasped . Natalie and Hans were calm, but I didn’t miss that they closed their eyes for a second . Did Otou-sama not tell them about this?
“The peopwe who shaved Lei are hunthersh . ”
“Hunter . The people who reap Hollows . ”
“Yesh . We go reap thhem thogethher ath nighth . ”
This time, the whole room fell silent . They probably thought that I saw Hollows by chance .
“Ojou-sama, don’t tell me…” Natalie was so surprised that she called me Ojou-sama instead of Lei-sama .
“There aren’t any barriers in Frontier . What did you do while they were hunting Hollows?”
“Lei woowed afther thhe barrier box . Lei wash inshide thhe barrier . ” (Lei looked after the barrier box . Lei was inside the barrier . )
“Barrier box . So, it does exist…?” Hans put his hand on his chin and thought about something . Even Hans hasn’t been to Frontier?
“I’m a former escort, so I’ve never been to Frontier even if my position was high . ”

I looked at Hans in surprise . I didn’t know he was an escort .
“Same ash Gracesh . ”
“Graces is a former subordinate . ”
So that’s why they can cooperate?
“Lei, what did you mean when you said that appearance remains?”
“Nico, thhath’sh…”
He’s asking in detail . How should I explain it?
“In Weshther, thhere wash an Othou-shama who wash wiwwed by a Howwow . ” (In Wester, there was an Otou-sama who was killed by a Hollow)
“Otou-sama . ”
“Yesh, thhe Howwow had thhe Othou-shama’sh appeawance . ”
I’m talking about Noah’s Otou-sama .
“The chiwd reached outh tho hish Othou-shama . Buth thhe Hunthersh wiwwed thhe Howwow . ” (The child reached out to the Otou-sama . But the Hunters killed the Hollow)
“Cutting something that had the appearance of Otou-sama…”
“If thhe chiwd thouchesh thhe Howwow thhen hish wife wouwd have been shucwed away . ” (If the child touches the Hollow then his life would have been sucked away)
“Of course, it would . ” Nico said as if it was obvious and I shook my head .
“The chiwd goth angry . Why did you wiww Othou-shama, he ashwed . ” (The child got angry . Why did you kill Otou-sama, he asked?)
“Lei-sama, when a Hollow is killed, they should turn into magic stone . Did the child also see that?” Hans asked an important question .
“Buth ith’sh pointhweshsh . Hish hearth…” (But it’s pointless . His heart…)
I pushed on my chest .
“Hish hearth probabwy didn’th thhinw thhath wash good . ” (His heart probably didn’t think that was good)
“His heart . ”
Nico pressed his stomach .
“Thath’sh your shthomach . Your hearth ish here . ” (That’s your stomach . Your heart is here)
“Here?”
“Ith feewsh happineshsh, pain and shadneshsh . ” (It feels happiness, pain and sadness)
The two of us pressed on our chest .
“The pwace thhath threashuresh Okasyama, Otou-syama, and Nii-syama . ” (The place that treasures Okasama, Otou-sama, and Nii-sama)
“It hurts here when your loved ones are gone . ”
“Ai . Ith’sh painfuw even if you undershthand . ”
Both me and Nico stayed quiet as we pressed our chests .
“Lei, thanks for talking to me . ”
It’s not something he should thank me for . I only said what I knew . However, the following day, I thought that it would have been better if I hadn’t told him .
