- Why don’t you explain it to me?
It could be that Riley didn’t know what to say. Riley’s smiling face petrified.
- Oh? Did this thing freeze? Nainiae?
“Yes! Lady Iris!”
- Is this thing still working?
“Yes! Of course!”
Riley glared at back of Nainiae’s head.
“…”
With his gaze, he was saying, ‘hey, after all those books you have read, how could you be so dense?’ Riley said,
“About that, there were a few things that happened.”
- A few things?
“Yes! It would be a bit disappointing to explain it through this, so I’ll explain it all when we return. I want to do justice to the explanation by explaining them all in person.”
Riley brought up his plan for explaining it when he returned, which was about two weeks in traveling time. With his shoulder, Riley wiped off the sweat that was flowing on his cheek and smiled like a fool.
- Ugh…
From beyond the mirror, they could hear Iris sighing.
It seemed she was very worried.
- Nothing bad happened, right?
“That’s right.”
“Yes, Lady Iris. I can guarantee it.”
Nainiae added promptly after Riley responded.
It seemed Iris was relieved. She relaxed her face.
- Since Nainiae said so, I’m relieved.
Riley, who was flinching on every word his mother spoke, calmed his shaking heart and asked about her.
“How about you, Mother? Nothing happened, right?”
- I’m fine, of course. I’m recovering from my illness too.
“That’s great. How about the mansion?”
- Other than you not being here, it is the same.
Iris turned her head lightly to look to the side. She corrected herself on the words she just spoke.
- Although Ian doesn’t seem to be well.
“I was expecting that.”
Having heard what his mother said, Riley shrugged as if he figured that was going to happen. At that moment, someone’s cry could be heard.
- Young masterrrrrrrr!
Riley simply ignored the cry and looked at the mirror with a bright face.
“Anyway, we will be coming back to Solia soon. We will contact you again before we head out, so please keep the mirror in a safe place.”
- Okay.
“Also… I’m sorry.”
- Um?
“I’m sorry I didn’t contact you until now.”
Riley apologized, and Iris smiled proudly.
- Huhu. If you know that, then it is all right. You know what to do after making an apology, right?
“Not repeating the same thing again.”
- That’s right.
Iris was about to wave her hand to say that Riley can hang up now. At that moment, Sera asked from the side,
- Ah, Lady Iris! Please wait!
- Sera?
- Young Master, before you hang up, can you please put Nainiae…
This time, Nainiae’s shoulders flinched.
He figured what was about to come. Riley smiled big and handed the mirror to Nainiae.
“Enjoy it?”
“Ugh…”
