That evening, Harold called for me.


    It wasn’t particrly strange for a father-inw to request his daughter-inw’s presence, but the reason he was seeking me out definitely was.


    "Dear daughter-inw."


    "…Yes, Father."


    "Ahem. There’s something I wanted to ask you. Would you mind sparing me a moment?"


    "……."


    What the hell was this suspicious reaction?


    No matter how I looked at him, Harold felt different from usual. Normally, when he spoke to me, he was shameless and blunt, no matter the situation.


    But now? He was clearly restless, as if he hadmitted some kind of wrongdoing against me.@@novelbin@@


    "…Yes, Father."


    Not that I was in a position to refuse a conversation with Harold, anyway.


    As Ethan’s father, he wasn’t someone I wanted to get on the bad side of.


    Even with the session ceremonying up, he was still the Duke. And even after passing down his title, his status as a Sword Master and one of the Empire’s Three Swords wouldn’t disappear.


    With that in mind, I followed Harold to a table in the garden, where we sat down for a private conversation.
