Then I sat face to face with Jungkook on the parlour.

He asked me if I needed tea, so I shook my head and fastened my goal.

"I'm....."

'I'm going to the temple of love to steal the enchanted cloth, and if I take Irene out with me, she'll be dead.

So I have to leave her alone, and I'm here to ask you to help me find someone to protect Irene in the meantime because Sir Davery, who's qualified, doesn't listen to me and it's hard to find the right person.'

"......I'm thinking of going to the temple for a while, and I'd like to have an outstanding skilled knight here to escort Lady Grace."

"A skilled knight, how skilled do you need him to be?"

"As skilled as......Sir Davery?"

Then Jungkook seemed to be lost in thought for a moment.

I suddenly agonized over Jungkook, who was silent.

Do I have to add some extra explanation?

Maybe he thinks the criteria I suggested are too much.

It might have been the case.

Surely Sir Davery was a top-knight within the mansion.

It may be questionable that such a strong man is needed as an escort to Irene.

I was pondering what to add when Jungkook opened her mouth.

"If you need someone with the same level as Davery, then just use Davery."

"Huh?"

"Leave Davery in the mansion, and to the temple......"

The bright yellow eyes blinked and the words continued.

"Come with me. That's solved, right?"

Ugh?

No, wait a minute.

As soon as I heard it, my eyes unconsciously turned to the desk in the office.

I don't know, but when I saw the number of documents that didn't seem to be small, I opened my mouth.

"Aren't you busy?

"I told you."

"....."

"It's okay. That doesn't matter."

I thought for a moment how far the west temple I was going to go would be from here, but I stopped.

Jungkook wouldn't have said that if he didn't know it.

Soon I just nodded.

It was in a different direction than I thought, but the necessary problem was solved anyway.

There was no reason to refuse.

There was no excuse to refuse anyway.

So my third visit to the temple was decided with Jungkook.

"Have a good trip."

Sir Davery waved his handkerchief in a restrained posture.

I stared at him gently when I saw him off and opened my mouth.

"You told me that you can't. What did you tell me back then? You're going to get your bones plucked out if you neglect your duty?"

"Ah, my lady. That is also true."

Sir Davery laughed.

"You know, my body is under the sky, and that sky is the Duke."
