Only a few years left.

What Duke Giltian said was a conviction, not an assumption. There must be a reason why he was so sure.

What could be the reason?

I was curious, but there was no way to find out. Because he wouldn't tell me even if I went to him and asked him.

"What are you thinking about?"

Baron Delrond, who sat at the desk across from me, organizing a document, asked.

"Nothing."

I couldn't get the answer even if I talked about it to Baron Derlond anyway, so I swallowed my words.

"But your expression looks bad for that."

Is that so?

I checked my expression in my hand mirror, but it didn't look too bad.

"Are you nervous about the opening ceremony?"

"No. I think it's not me, but Baron Delrond who was nervous though."

His expression was stiffer than usual, and the tip of his slightly raised lips looked unnatural.

"Is it because of the press conference?"

Baron Delrond would speak on Kalian's behalf at the opening ceremony today. What he was seeing now was the speech he would read at the press conference.

"Haa."

Baron Delrond let out a long sigh and grabbed his head.

"Why did His Majesty leave this to me..."

"That's because Baron Delrond is His Majesty's aide."

"Yes. Being his aide is the problem."

Baron Delrond clicked his tongue in annoyance.

His words and actions made it seem like he didn't like being an aide to the emperor, but it wasn't. He was very proud and satisfied. Still, it was fun seeing him express such complaints, so I laughed softly, then Baron Delrond stared at me with thin eyes.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I think Baron Delrond really likes His Majesty."

"Yes?"

Baron Delrond asked me back in bewilderment.

"How on earth do you see that I like His Majesty?"

"Then do you hate His Majesty?"

"No, it's not like that..."

Baron Delrond hesitated, then shut his mouth.

As expected, he likes him.

I picked up a document with a smile.

Baron Delrond rubbed his face bigly and spoke bluntly.

"But I think Baron Aster also likes His Majesty."

"I like him."

Rattle, bang-!

"Really?"

Baron Delrond asked, standing up in surprise. His rough movement pushed his chair back.

Why is he so surprised?

I looked at Baron Delrond, a little perplexed.

"Ehmm, hmm."

Baron Delrond then coughed shyly and raised the chair that had fallen down.

"Is it so surprising that I said I like His Majesty?"
