It's just a time for the morning to show its face.

I leaned against the doorway and asked.

"So, Perez, why are you here now?"

Unknowingly, the sound of half-coldly laughter was mixed into the words.

"For Caitlyn."

He answered well without changing his expression.

"Tia sent me a letter that Caitlyn should stay in your mansion longer because of the Brown family."

"Explain it better."

"If Caitlyn, who usually doesn't take personal leave, suddenly doesn't show up at the Palace for days, the Empress will doubt it."

"So what?"

"So if I'm staying at Lombardy's mansion to spend time with my fiance, Tia, So there will be no doubt that Caitlyn, my maid-in-honor, has emptied the Palace."

There's a secretly shameless part of this guy.

I crossed my arms and squinted and asked.

"Really? There's not a single reason for your self-interest, is that really all?"

Perez smiled at my question and shut up.

It was a method that he often used when he couldn't lie to me and wanted to avoid answering.

"...Come in for now."

I really can't let this be.

I moved away from the door that was blocking the way.

Then he hurriedly walked into the house before I changed my mind.

It's been a long time since I've been loosened with a smile on my cheek.

"But Caitlyn would still love it. She was worried about you."

I said, leaning sideways against the back of the sofa in the drawing-room.

In fact, I was still wearing a thick robe in my pajamas.

I don't think I've ever had another guest in this state.

Well, it's Perez.

The morning temperature was chilly, so I hugged my knees and curled up.

That was all.

But before I knew it, the robe Perez was wearing fell silently on my shoulder.

"I told you. I'm here for Caitlyn."

Perez shuddered halfway like that.

Then naturally he sat facing me in the seat right next to me.

It was close enough to reach Perez's knee and my toes.

Oh, my God.

At that moment I realized.

That we're sitting in the same shape as that night a while ago.

I bit my mouth in nervousness for some reason.

But my move seemed to have caught his attention.

I could see red eyes following me as if they were attracted to my lips.

I never meant to provoke him.

His relaxed smile disappeared from his face, which was looking at me with my head folded with one arm.

And he reached out to me.

Shocking.

I was a little nervous without realizing it.
