Responsibilities of a Noble 2
“C-cyril, w-w-what should I do?!”
“Please calm down, my lady. Did the messenger not say this talk would be confidential? Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem like something you can unilaterally reject.”
My lady was distraught over how she was called by the king. The fact that not her parents, but she herself was summoned was what rattled her.
It would still be a problem if her parents were called, but having a child summoned was unprecedented. For something like this to happen, there must be unusual circumstances behind it.
However, this wasn’t a forced summons, the fact that they sent a messenger could even be considered an act of consideration. His majesty wanted to keep this a secret, so the worst shouldn’t happen.
Though no matter how much my lady has grown, this was undoubtedly an overwhelming experience. It wasn’t unreasonable for her to be rattled by this unexpected development.
“It’ll be okay, my lady. Should anything happen, I will protect you even at the cost of my life.”
Seeing her so anxious, those words just naturally left my mouth.
Back when I first realised I was reincarnated, all I wanted was to save the villainous daughter I was fond of while escaping the execution end– so this surprised me, I thought my feelings for her would’ve been lighter than this.
