Chapter 87
“Which means, this secret journey of our might have been relayed to Prince Geraldo of Kratos—huh?!”
Jill nodded in confirmation to Camila’s question . Camila’s suspicion towards Lawrence was understandable because first and foremost—he was from Kratos .
Camila looked up towards the heavens . Indeed, that was Camila’s usual gesture before beginning her sermons .
“Alright, listen, Jill-chan~ why did you keep silent about such an important thing?”
“But—please don’t harm him . He has an older sister . His older sister was taken to the palace of the Southern King of Kratos . ”
The Southern King of Kratos .
Camila, who seemed to understand the meaning, frowned with regret . The meaning was precisely like Lawrence had pointed out .
“Do you mean… that unofficial Southern king of Kratos~?”
“It seems that his reputation precedes him . That’s right . That Southern King of Kratos, who easily leaves the court as he pleases and leaves destruction upon his wake . The reason Lawrence became Prince Geraldo’s subordinate was to somehow get his sister back from the temple . ”
“…I sympathize with him, but that’s it~ This is a separate matter from that . Not to mention, isn’t Princess Faelis supposed to relay a message to Prince Geraldo in secret to talk about peace? Or was that a lie? Even if it wasn’t, what if that guy is dancing on Prince Geraldo’s palm? Prince Geraldo may even be colluding with Georg . ”
“But, that’s also why he wants me to return to Kratos . ”
Camila, who had a steep face, blinked .
“A capable person who’s likely know Prince Geraldo’s plan . That’s why, keep an eye on him . That way, Lawrence will move on his own accord for the sake of his own safety . ”
“…Haa… I see where this is going~”
“…Therefore, he will finally be able to return to Kratos . ”
“Is that your true intention~?”
Jill couldn’t answer Camila’s question—because Jill knew .
In the future, Lawrence wouldn’t make it in time .
Hence why, there’s no reason to stop what he has been desperately trying to achieve .
There was still a few years—and as long as she was there, Lawrence wouldn’t become Jill’s lieutenant, nor would he follow the same path as before .
If she started changing the flow from now, she might make it in time .
At the very least, Jill was no longer carrying out military feats in Kratos—thus, the situation should had changed drastically .
When she pursed her lips, suddenly, Camila’s index finger sank into her cheek .

“I understand your aim~ however, Jill-chan~”
She started poking her cheek .
“Those kinds of things, you’re supposed to tell us earlier, alright~? Onee-san will get angry, you know~?”
“S, sorry, I thought if it were Camila and Zeke, it goes without saying…”
In short, Camila agreed to keep an eye on Lawrence .
Once she told that Camila she was her most attentive subordinate, she stopped poking her cheek .
“Alright, I will forgive you~ Lawrence is important . Well, I understand the gist of it~”
“Oh, Camila, where’s Sauté?”
“He’s fine, look, here . ”
Pon!
Camila hit a bag on the horse’s saddle . Sauté, who was beginning to lose his chick-like appearance, peeked out . At his feet, was the head of Haddy .
“When the time comes, don’t hesitate to use them . ”

“I under—huh? Sauté, too? I can use Sauté~?”
“Sauté, stop bullying Haddy . If that doll accidentally activates, we’ll be in deep trouble . ”
Sauté squealed and retreated . …Recently, didn’t it feel like they were having proper conversations?
Camila, who looked alternately between the bag and Jill, looked behind them with a tired face . She was checking whether or not they were being tailed .
“My wife is amazing—she’s already planning so many things!”
With his chin on top of Jill’s head, Hadith whispered .
Jill lifted her neck a little .
“While Your Majesty sure is accommodating—why?”
Jill didn’t think what she had been doing was in line with Hadith’s will . Despite so, the beautiful Dragon Emperor with golden eyes always only gazed at her .
Observing her with an adoring gaze .
Hadith briefly affirmed Jill’s concern .

“Well, seeing how much you put into it makes me eager to see how it’ll turn out, too . Other than that, I don’t want to restrict you too much . ”
“To be honest, I don’t know if I’m doing something right . ”
“No problem . Because no matter who betrays me, I will be the last one standing . ”
It wasn’t a hope, nor a determination—but simply a fact .
Indeed, such was the truth .
He lost his older brother, older sister, father, little brother, little sister—basically, he had lost everything .
In the end, that emperor was the only one left . He stood alone until the end .
To His Majesty, for someone to betray him—that’s only to be expected .
Jill tightly pursed her lips—
—she must never forget .
The reason she was there was to prevent that man from standing alone .
