Book 3: Chapter 25: DLC: The Sea Part 2
Lady Sophia and I returned to the mansion. While I was teaching etiquette to Roy and Emma, I was summoned by the current head of the Rosenberg Marquis household, Master Grave.
“…Cyril, there’s something I wish to ask you.”
“Please, ask me anything.” I barely managed to answer, swallowing hard.
Even though he had simply said that he only wanted to ask me a question, there was an indescribable intensity to his words. It could also be interpreted as anger.
I recalled…committing errors of all kinds, but I couldn’t remember doing anything that would inflict harm to the Rosenberg Marquis household. Given the timing, perhaps he had some issues with our outing.
“I’ve heard from Sophia that you’re having an outing in the Flamefield Empire…is that true?”
“It was suggested by Her Highness Folcenia, and His Highness Alforth agreed as well. I’m afraid that this matter could be considered a done deal.”
So, his question was about the outing. I briefly informed him of the situation and probed around to see what issue his mind was currently occupied with. However, Master Grave didn’t show any reaction to my words. So that meant that most likely—
“The Flamefield Empire is a warm country, and apparently even nobles go to the beaches to swim, is that right?”
