Was that really something you could say with such a nonchalant face?
It was a trace of the ancient language that no one in the Sinesse Marquess family had been able to decipher in 500 years.
“You said you were curious, didn’t you?”
“...You’re saying you can read the ancient language?”
“When I was an apprentice, I picked it up by watching the high-ranking priests read it over their shoulders, so I kind of know it.”
Rosie blinked as she spoke.
“I took a look at it yesterday, and the contents weren’t all that special, but if you’re curious, you should know...”
Just as Abraham opened his mouth in shock, Rosie continued with a very serious expression.
“Honestly, I was a little worried it might say something like, ‘The Sinesse family is a bunch of dumb fools. Wouldn’t it be funny if their descendants proudly displayed this without knowing a thing?’ But it wasn’t anything like that.”
“...What?”
“If it were me, I might’ve pulled a prank like that, but I guess the High Priest from 500 years ago wasn’t that kind of person. Thankfully, it’s something I can read out loud without much trouble.”
