Book 8: Chapter 8
Freya looked at my red scarf and asked, “Onii-sama, are you not hot?”
I touched my red scarf, guiltily shook my head and replied, “No, I just came back from the hot desert, so I feel like the temperature here is a little cold…”
Freya nodded and responded, “Is that so…? Why do you need to wear a scarf indoors then? If you are cold, I will go and order someone to add firewood.”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t. I’m comfortable like this. Really!”
I quickly stopped Freya.
‘Please do not make me take my scarf off. If I take it off, Vyvyan’s hickey will be revealed. The same goes for my chest. I still have the bite wound she gave me. How am I going to explain these marks to Nier tonight if she sees them…?’
‘I need to prepare my stuff to go see Lucia with Vyvyan. Then I’ll be able to tell Lucia that Nier made the marks. Then when I get back and Nier sees the marks, I can say Lucia left the marks. Damn, I’m a genius to be able to come up with a solution in such a short time frame. Mm, I can also travel between the two places smoothly with Vyvyan.’
“Though I do not know why you are in such a rush, I feel that it would be better if you informed the Princess first… After all, heading off in such a rush would worry her… Furthermore, the Princess has been missing you all this time. If you suddenly go again…”
I nodded then scrubbed Freya’s head. “I’m sorry to Nier, but I already told Mom and have to leave now. I can’t delay it any longer. Could I trouble you to tell Nier?”
