After some pleasurable days, we come back to the royal capital. Sadly, those were too few days. I haven't fully recharged my Yaci energy meter yet.
"One month..."
"..."
"I mean, it's not that I don't care—"
"I know, Aurea. You don't need to overexplain yourself. You love her, and that's beautiful. I have no complaints."
"Really?"
"Yes..."
Her eyes seemed to be focusing somewhere far away as she answered my last question. Is she being true to herself? Or is she actually hurt and hiding it?
"Lovelace?"
"Huh?"
"Is something the matter?"
"Ah. I'm sorry. I feel like there's something going on."
She adopts a stance that screams 'ready to fight,' so I prepare myself as well.
We are in the gardens of my mansion, which is where that flower we used connects to. Now that Lovelace pointed it out, the place is eerily silent.
I close my eyes and expand my magical sense. Yes, there's definitely something out of place here.
