Despite all that was happening, life went on .
“Did Your Highness or Lei notice anything,” even if we’re asked this,
“Fewicia wash awwaysh thired . ” (Felicia was always tired)
“She was tired, but she always had fun . ”
We could only answer like this .
As the heiress of the Four Marquises, Felicia was solitary at the Academy, and she didn’t have anyone to confide her worries to since she wasn’t close to anyone . Besides, I don’t know if she knew about her parents’ plot in the first place .
Maybe I should be thinking about Kingdom’s future, but I was solely worried about Chris . I wondered if she would have time when her Okasama and Otou-sama are no longer busy .
“I wonder if Angie-obasyama wiww pway with Chrish when she ishn’th bushy anymore . ” (I wonder if Angie-obasama will play with Chris when she isn’t busy anymore)
“The Four Marquises are always busy . ”
It’s fine as long as she’s happy even if she goes to Easter . Just like how I had a good time in Wester .
“And…”
“And?”
“I mighth be abwe tho go vishith when thhingsh sheththwe . ”
“Lei might be able to go,” Nico muttered sadly . Come to think of it, the royal family wasn’t allowed to leave Kingdom even if they aren’t adults .
“Then weth’sh go tho Eashther’sh border . ”
“The border? Why?”
“Writhe Chrish a wethther . ” (Write Chris a letter)
“Why are you writing her a letter?”
“We’ll get her to go to the border . ”
We’ll be able to talk to her face to face even if neither of them can leave the border . I heard a maid sob in the corner .
“I’m shure I can run by thhen . ”
“Oh, I thought you could already run . ”
Nico grinned .
“I’ww be abwe tho run fashther . ”
“You’re right . I guess we’ll have to link arms and test her to make sure she’s studying properly in Easter . ”
“Yup . Chrish ish bad ath shthudying . ”
“We’ll also have to study as well . ”
“Ai . ”
I don’t know what their circumstances were, but both Nico and I knew that the Remingtons won’t be welcomed back into Kingdom since they have already left . Even if there isn’t a penalty, they will be punished in some way if they return .
So, they don’t have to come back . Otou-sama told me that they’ve already started to select a noble to replace the Remingtons . There are a lot of candidates, but there aren’t any nobles with that much magic power .
Otou-sama stopped keeping troublesome things from me just because I’m a toddler, and he properly explained the current situation to Nii-sama and I after dinner .
“We’ve sent messengers to Easter many times, but they lie and say they haven’t heard from the Remingtons . ”
Otou-sama was in charge of the Wester area . The Remingtons were in charge of the Easter area . That’s why it’s been difficult to get information .
“But I’ve heard rumours from people in town that they live in a splendid house in Easter’s capital, and that they seem to be living very extravagantly . ”
“Don’t tell me they were welcomed there?”
Nii-sama was surprised . Kingdom’s Four Marquises and the citizens of Frontier have no relationship with each other . The citizens of Frontier are either curious about the Four Marquises or hate them since they can’t benefit from the barrier . I think it’s one of those two .
I made eye contact with Nii-sama and we nodded . That was how we felt at Wester .
“It seems like they are . Now the citizens can go out at night in the capital . ”
“So, they are using a barrier box after all…”
The magic stones for the barrier in the capital normally needed to be filled once every five days . But for a barrier covering a remote city, it should only need to be filled once every 20 days . Therefore, they could certainly go anywhere and not be burdened by it .
“But I’m sure they must be bound by something . But they’re not involved with internal affairs . It’s troublesome for Otou-sama, but I’m certain that the Remingtons love power . ”
“Luke, the way you said that…”
“You’re naïve Otou-sama . The Remingtons betrayed Kingdom!”
Otou-sama made Nii-sama angry .
“The Remingtons betrayed the Four Marquises, who share the same responsibilities, and have betrayed the people . You say you don’t care about the Remingtons, but you’re wearing yourself out from cleaning after their mess . ”
Nii-sama stretched his hands to touch Otou-sama’s face which was starting to form eyebags .
I also copied him and reached my hands out . I can only reach Otou-sama stomach, but it’s alright since Otou-sama picked me up .
“Thanks, you two . We all have no idea what lies in the future . It’s hard to know how to deal with the situation with the uncertainty . ”
Otou-sama hugged us and sighed .
“I’ll be heading out to Wester again soon . I’m worried about leaving the capital at a time like this, but Wester was really shocked by this incident as well . However, Wester doesn’t seem to be working with Easter . To confirm that, and take measures…”
“Otou-syama, worw hard . ”
“We’ll behave, so travel safely . ”
Oh yeah, I haven’t seen Graces at all lately . I’m sure he was accompanying the Remingtons, but what’s he doing now?
“Whath happened tho Gracesh?”
“You like Graces, don’t you Lei?”
“I wiwe Hansh more . ”
“Ooh . ”
Otou-sama smiled teasingly .
Hans isn’t here right now . I can say this because he’s not here, but it’s Hans who I care about . I’m just curious about Graces because of my personal involvement with him . I’ll admit he’s a bit cool .
“Graces set up base in a town next to the border . He’s staying there to act as a messenger between Kingdom and Easter . He’s not working as a guard, but he’s better than civil officials who don’t take initiatives . ”
So that’s why he’s a captain at a young age? Hmm .
A few days later after Nico had quietly celebrated his fourth birthday, a fast dragon came from the border town .
“There’s a messenger from Easter . It’s the Third Prince . ”
I squeezed the Rug Dragon on my shoulder when I heard that . The magic stone was throbbing .
