The large, bluish full moon lit the area brighter than usual. Looking up from the unobstructed meadows, many stars shone brightly in the sky and their light didnt lose to the moons.

Cordelia and Sylvester travelled from the forest to the hill on the black horse that Sylvester had ridden. He had dismounted his horse a short distance away from the hut to avoid being noticed by Ghost, but the black horse was docile and waited for his return.

When they reached their destination, Cordelia followed quietly after Sylvester as he walked ahead with a light in hand.

Were here.

Cordelia stopped when she heard those words and followed Sylvesters gaze to the place he was pointing at.

Then, she saw a place filled with white budded jasmine.

Perhaps because of the influence of the earths magic, the flowers seemed to be mysteriously floating and seemed covered in a slight light.

Beautiful.

Cordelia couldnt help but say, and Sylvester smiled.

This can only be seen at night. Ive always thought that you would be happy to see this place ever since I first saw it.

But Sylvester immediately stiffened.

Im sorry for not telling you all this time. And once again, I am 『Gille』and『Sylvester』.

Ah, hmm Im Cordelia.

I know that.

Cordelia wasnt telling a joke either, she just didnt know what to say and inadvertently introduced herself. She didnt know what expression she had on her face, but Sylvester chuckled.

I actually meant to tell you sooner. But I couldnt say it.

Why is that?

I have been avoiding Sylvester-sama all this time, and Im sure we would only have bland conversations had he revealed his identity sooner. As a result, Gille-samas silence about who he was, made him my close friend. As for Shelley, its possible that she would have bothered me like she did even if I didnt get acquainted with Sylvester-sama.

Still, it bothers me that Sylvester-sama had kept quiet about his identity and that Vernoux-sama had helped him to trick me. I also feel like my childhood friends have left me out of the circle.

As she thought this, Sylvester said something surprising.

Because you dont like people who lie, right Dilly?

Excuse me?

Dilly likes knights and people who dont lie. Thats what Vernoux told me.

Even if you say that, I dont remember ever saying something like that. However, if Vernoux-sama had asked me this at some point, then I might have answered without giving it much thought

Cordelia put her hand to her mouth and tried to recall her memories and Sylvester continued.

I also heard that you respected my fathers reign, but youre not interested in me.

I dont remember this. But Im sorry if Ive offended you.

Those things are the truth, but I wouldnt be surprised if I said something similar to that. I always insist that 『Im not interested in Sylvester-sama, so I wont get close to him』, but I never imagined that the person himself would hear about this. Theres nothing more embarrassing than this.
