Book 2: Chapter 13
Lord Ethan is a halfling, huh…
I muttered unintentionally.
「That’s right. Duke Ebene’s family has mixed halfling blood.」the young lady replied, having caught my mutter.
Lord Ethan came to the table and smiled, looking at everyone. He looks like a kind child… his blue eyes remind me of someone.
(Mimino-san… Are you doing well?)
When I was suddenly immersed in nostalgia, I noticed that Lord Ethan’s escort was observing me, as though being on guard. The color of her eyes was amber.
Please don’t be on guard. I am a harmless boy… is what I’d like to say, but it’s true that someone who is obviously as young-looking as me being completely unarmed would seem quite suspicious.
Judging based on our appearances alone, the escort and I look about the same age, but considering the case with Mimino-san, the escort is most probably older than myself.
Incidentally, ever since Lord Ethan arrived, a fancy scent has been drifting in the air. I don’t know what it is exactly, but it is a perfume derived from flowers.
