Chapter 87: Talking with Lily on Night Duty
That night, Lily was the one on night duty."Master Robby, I believe you already understand, but please refrain from any reckless behavior tonight."
"Yeah, I know."
Lily looked somewhat relieved. She had probably been worried that my unrestrained libido would go out of control again tonight.
"I came here because I wanted to tell you about Stevie."
So that was it. I had thought she wouldn’t come unless it was for that reason.
"Did you get to meet Stevie?"
"Yes, I did. We were also able to talk."
"I see. How was she? I doubt she’s doing well..."
"She’s better than I expected, I suppose. Her brother’s lover was completely exhausted, and Stevie seemed to be doing her best to support her. I heard that ever since they left the royal capital, Stevie has been constantly by her side, comforting and supporting her."
"Did Stevie tell you that herself?"
"No, Stevie barely spoke, but one of her acquaintances went with them, so I heard the story from that person."
"I see. That must be really tough. I wonder what Stevie will do from now on... If there’s anything I can do to help, I want her to come to me. Though honestly, all I can really do is earn some pocket money at the Accounts Department."
"Master Robby, as I’ve told you before, please don’t worry too much about Stevie. You can help her if and when she comes to you for assistance. But under no circumstances should you visit her room. Please be very careful about that."
"I understand, but I can’t help but be concerned."
"I know how kind you are, Master Robby. However, if you become too fixated on Stevie, it may affect your own future. Please keep that in mind."
"Yeah, I got it."
"Lily, there’s something I want to ask about what happened today when we received the Crown Prince’s remains."
I always make sure to use proper titles when asking people about things.
"Yes? I’ll answer if it’s something I know."
"The Knight Commander who brought back the Crown Prince’s body committed suicide right in front of His Majesty the King, didn’t he? No one seemed surprised by it. Did everyone already know it was going to happen?"
Lily’s eyes widened for a moment at my question, but she quickly returned to her usual expression.
"I didn’t expect the Knight Commander to do it right there, but everyone knew he would commit suicide sooner or later."
