Seeing Cecily's report, Kalian only asked one question.

"Do you want to keep searching?"

I really wanted to, but I shook my head.

"No."

With this many results, it was pointless to search more.

This ended Cecily's search. She was officially dead.

She's really dead, right?

The thought lingered in my head for days.

"Huu."

Because of that, I could hardly concentrate on my work and only sighed.

"Seeing you sigh, seems like there's something you are worried about."

Oh, did my sigh hear all the way there?

I smiled awkwardly and looked at Baron Delrond.

"There's nothing."

"What there's nothing? You even sighed like that."

Ver thought for a moment and then uttered his guess.

"Is it because of that woman named Cecily? You can't believe she's dead, right?"

I couldn't say anything and just smiled at his on-point remark.

"Don't worry."

Baron Delrond comforted me with a smile.

"Because that woman is definitely dead. Even if she's alive, she couldn't be fine after falling off that high cliff."

That's right.

"Don't think about such a woman anymore. Just focus on what's right in front of you."

He was right. I sighed for the last time, letting go of all my worries.

"I will. Thank you for comforting me."

"Don't mention it."

Ver, who looked down at the document, looked at me again.

"I have a question, may I ask?"

"Go ahead."

"Where are you going after work?"

Huh? Why all of a sudden?

Looking at him in wonder, Baron Delrond rambled a little.

"No, I have no strange purpose. So, His Majesty knows it, right? But I'm the only one who doesn't know, so, of, of course, I'm not saying that it's weird..."

"I'll tell you."

"Really?"

Baron Delrond's expression brightened at once.

Why is he so happy?

Laughter came out.

"Of course."

It wasn't a big secret anyway, and I had no reason not to tell him either.

"After work, I go to learn horseback riding."

"Horseback riding?"

"Yes. I also want to parade around on horseback in this external event on New Year's Day."

"...so that's what it means by 'communicate', huh?"

Baron Delrond muttered to himself.

"Baron?"

"Ah, it's nothing. But why did you hide it? That's for a good purpose though."

"It's because... there is no progress at all."
