When I got off the train, the night shadows had already covered the sky.
One thing that was different from Wibin was the streetlights.
Wibin’s job was to make sure that no one goes outside because it’s completely dark at night, but thanks to the streetlights that come on at intervals, there are still people out and about.
It was a very welcome sight for Elric.
The West, where he used his main stage, was not unfamiliar with this streetlight scene, so it felt both new and familiar at the same time.
“I arranged for the carriage right away. “Please go.”
Rdio, who got off late, guided Elric and Tyria.
As I left the station, there were carriages lined up in front of the station, waiting for customers.
Elric got on the carriage introduced by Rdio and looked at Tyria’s complexion.
As I stepped on the bare ground, I finally saw the image that Elric knew.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m a little tired.”
Did it remind me of what happened on the train?
I could hear the shyness in Tyria’s voice.
After a while, the carriage departed and ran down the royal road.
“Ma’am, do you come here every year?”
“Yes, I come every time there is a New Year’s banquet with the head of the family.”
“Then I guess it won’t be that unfamiliar.”
“I have learned some geography. However, it is a very different place from Wibin, so it feels awkward.”
After chatting for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Ye’s mansion.
Elric let out a laugh.
‘That’s just the person’s taste.’
The mansion was small.
It was a two-story brick house that pursued neatness rather than splendor, and on the outside it looked more like a wealthy commoner’s home than a nobleman’s mansion.
The inside was also the same.
On the first floor, there was a spacious living room, a dining room and kitchen next to it, and going up to the second floor, there were two bedrooms, two dressing rooms, and a study.
“Let’s unpack first. “Ma’am, I’ll see you at dinner.”
“yes.”
Because of the uncertain time, we couldn’t have dinner on the train.
For that reason, a simple meal was held at the mansion, and Elric entered his room while reflecting on that fact.
Click, it was the moment to open the door.
“… “I guess it was my father’s bedroom.”
“Yes, because it is a house with no empty rooms.”
Rdio said as if he felt sorry.
Elric laughed bitterly.
I thought I had gotten rid of all my feelings about him, but the moment I saw traces of my father, my heart calmed down.
“You can tell just by looking at it. Ah, it’s my father’s room. “I mean doing it.”
One bed, a small bookcase and a hanger.
Even though it was a small room, that was the end of the things that were packed in it.
Even the interior was simple.
It was an item made of black wood.
My father liked these neat items, and the smell of wood would fill the air whenever he entered his room.
“I contacted you in advance and the cleaning has been completed. There will be no problem if you use it right away.”
“I understand. “I want to change my clothes first, so would you please leave for a moment?”
“… “Yes, I will wait for you at the restaurant.”
Rdio left the room.
Elric looked around the room for a moment, then opened the window and ventilated the room.
I took off my coat and hung it roughly on the hanger.
After I loosened my tie, I was finally able to breathe.
‘I hope the wood smell goes away.’

It reminded me of the old days and I wasn’t very happy.
-scram. There is no time to play.
It felt like I was hearing those words.
This room structure, this smell, and the shabby structure brought to mind a sense of futile sentiment.
Elric walked towards the bookshelf.
‘Is the book the same?’
Several of his favorite classics were listed in the order Elric remembered them.
I suddenly remembered that he was a person with a strange obsession, so he was quite strict about this.
Elric looked through the bookshelf, but then stopped.
‘There is no such thing as a diary.’
I was curious.
Why did my father give me the inheritance that liquidated all his businesses?
“Didn’t you know I wouldn’t come back?”
Muttering, Elric looked resentfully at the bookshelf.
To say that it was just my delusion, the structure of this house said it all.
If I had known I would return someday, I would have bought a slightly bigger house.
Even if it weren’t for that, he would have saved a room for himself.
I really hated it, but even so, there was something I knew because we were blood related.
Just as Elric himself was stubborn, his father was also like that.
It was clear that he had no expectations that Elric would return.
“There’s no reason to make people upset.”
Wouldn’t it be enough to pass on the entire inheritance to Tyria, who worked hard by his side?
Elric touched the dead dagger in his arms.
Only then was I able to calm my mind.
‘It just worked out.’
Since I had arrived in the capital, I needed to learn a little more about the disposal of miscarriages.
According to the kingdom’s laws, the inheritance of inheritance belongs entirely to the designated heir, so various legal procedures were required to change the heir.
It was nice to get someone to help.
Wouldn’t it be a shame to leave it to Aldio and the other servants to tell them of my intention to leave again?
Elric stood up, leaning on his cane.
The moment I opened the door, I ran into Tyria, who was just leaving the room.
She was wearing a shawl over her thin dress.
Since Elric’s delicate body was more visible than usual, it became a little difficult for Elric to know where to focus his gaze.
It wasn’t the first time I’d seen something like this, but it felt unfamiliar, perhaps because it was a space.
“… I guess you came. “Let’s go now.”
“yes.”
When I headed to the restaurant, there was bread, soup, eggs, and water.
They were extremely simple and easy to deal with quickly.
After taking a bite of bread, Elric asked Tyria.
“What is your schedule for tomorrow?”
“The banquet is in three days, so I’ll try to prepare before then. “I guess I should buy clothes first.”
“Clothes?”
“Yes, the head of the house doesn’t have any clothes to wear to the banquet.”
Ah, now that I think about it, you’re right.
The only thing in Elric’s closet was a ready-to-wear suit that he wore when walking around the neighborhood.
It was clear that it wouldn’t be suitable for a banquet.
At the imperial banquet he once attended, even Elvers Graham was sensitive about his attire.
-The banquet of the nobles is a gathering of races that are anxious about not being able to find a single fault. It’s better not to gossip.
It certainly seemed like it would be a good idea to pay attention to clothing in order not to embarrass Tyria.
“Sounds good. I have some insight into my ballroom business. “I will go out without any embarrassment.”
“I will choose.”
“hmm?”
“I will choose.”
She suddenly showed stubbornness.
The gaze was focused on the food. The strong stance of not giving even room for negotiation was clearly revealed.
Elric wondered why he was like that and then remembered the past.
The outfit I wore on my first outing with her after returning to Wibin. Then she reacted to her and her aldio.
‘… That won’t happen anymore.’
Even Elric now knew that the outfit made him look like a clown.
But what good is this excuse?
First of all, making excuses seemed ugly.
Elric quietly expressed his agreement.
“… “Please.”
There was no further conversation.
The meal ended quickly, and Elric went straight back to his room and got ready for bed.
I guess I’ll have to be busy again starting tomorrow.
Elric felt a prickly feeling as he tried to do something that did not suit his temperament.
After the banquet is over, I will go straight back to Wibin.
It was a moment when I lay down on the bed, thinking.
Craddangtang!
“Ugh!”
The bed collapsed.
Elric fell down and looked at the bed with a devastated face.
At that moment, R.D.O. rushed over and opened the door.
“Yes, master! What on earth is this… !”
“… “The bed leg was broken.”
Elric pointed to the leg of the bed with his finger.
What was hidden behind the blanket was immediately revealed.
There was evidence that the broken leg had been tied with string to support it.
Rdio’s face turned red.
“These are really… !”
Did you say you outsourced the cleaning to an outside company?
“I will go and confront them tomorrow! “You clean so vainly and then take all that expensive money and waste it!”
Elric laughed awkwardly.
It was the first time in a long time that I had seen Rdio get this angry.
“Okay, can you please clean this up first? “You can’t sleep on a collapsed bed.”
The moment I spoke, Tyria appeared behind the door.
Her brows narrowed.
“… “The bed is broken.”
“Oh, don’t worry. “I guess I’ll have to buy a new bed tomorrow.”
“Then how are you going to sleep today?”
“Anyway, I guess I’ll have to sleep on the floor.”
“On the floor?”
She looked at Elric as if she couldn’t understand.
Only then did Elric think it was a mistake.
It was an acceptable reaction for someone who was born as an aristocrat.
“Well, I’ve done this many times during my wandering life. So don’t worry too much… .”
“That’s a wandering thing.”
Tyria sighed deeply.
He looked very uncomfortable.
“Butler, please stop by me before you go to the company. “I will write the letter myself and send it to you.”
“… “Yes, ma’am.”
Rdio swallowed dry saliva.
The same was true for Elric.
It was my first time seeing her angry, and her expression was quite intimidating.
“And go.”
“Say it.”
Tyria made eye contact.
Her lips softened for a moment.
There was only a moment of hesitation, and then slowly.
“… “Please sleep with me in my room today.”
“… ?”
Elric made a dumbfounded face at the words he heard.
Tyria turned around.
“welcome.”
Elric looked at Rdio.
Rdio also looked at Elric.
“?”
“?”
The two people’s heads tilted at the same time.
They all had stupid faces.
