Chapter 124: The Way Back
Chapter 124: The Way Back
As we walked back, keeping a safe distance from the security team, I told Lily what Prime Minister Richelieu had said. Even at night, I could see Lily’s expression harden."What will you do, Lord Robby?"
She asked in a strong tone.
"I don’t know. I’ll have to obey whatever His Majesty the King says."
"That’s true. But if you’re going to a neighboring country, who will you take with you?"
"Huh? I hadn’t even thought that far."
"Please think carefully. I don’t know how much time you have before departure, but the people going with you will have to arrange their lives. They’re planning to settle down and be buried there."
Lily’s words made me realize how difficult it is to go to another country. I had never left the capital before, so I didn’t understand what traveling outside the capital even meant, let alone going abroad.
"I’ll say this in advance, but even if you choose a man or a woman, I don’t think you should take a married person."
"Really?"
"Yes, I think so. First, Lady Catherine Gilmore would definitely be impossible. Since Lady Doreen is pregnant, she’ll probably focus on giving birth and raising her child. That means Lady Doreen won’t let Catherine go.
Also, Lady Catherine has her husband. Living apart from her husband would be impossible. If you really want to bring her, you’d have to take her husband too."
It felt like my head was being hammered. That’s how it would be, I thought, but the old Robby would have been shocked.
"Lady Catherine’s husband is a financial official who is expected to have a bright future. So I don’t think he can simply resign from his position."
She said something similar last time too. Even Cass, who I thought was in a fake marriage, probably found divorce extremely difficult. A part of me knew that was true. Taking Catherine and her husband to the Kingdom of Mainz whole is out of the question.
"Then..."
I pretended to think for a moment.
