It was similar to Claudia’s reaction, but it was subtly different. I looked carefully at the expression that seemed quite uncomfortable and replied.
“His Highness, the Second Prince.”
Felix then had an expression that seemed to ask, ‘Has the meaning of a good person changed without my knowledge?’
Yes, I fully understand how you feel. The Second Prince was like a sheet of paper and had an image of a stumbling dog<sup>’ the ones trying to kill us.
Felix didn’t seem very pleased. It wasn’t because of us. He just seemed to dislike the vulgar language.
“But do you believe me?”
When I revealed the truth to Felix, I felt uneasy and thought he wouldn’t believe me.
He was such a gentle and caring character that he would see a stranger on the street for the first time and listen to them attentively without hesitation.
But his father also believed me instantly as well.
I was grateful that he believed it, but it felt strange that he accepted it without any doubt.
“I don’t believe it, but I have to. In fact, I thought their movements were unusual.”
Then Hugo continued.
“If the Crown Prince wasn’t able to meet Claudia, he would forcibly summon her. But at some point, he quieted down.”
The title changed from ‘His Highness’ to the ‘Crown Prince’ in an instant. It was very desirable.
“At what point?”
“Well, I don’t know. Perhaps it was after the Empire’s Foundation Day.”
Sure enough, they held hands. They cooperated. It was without a doubt.
