“Not the first time?”
“It’s quite saddening that you do not remember... That means our meeting was insignificant to you.”
“......”
Rajaden feigned sadness. It was obvious it was just an act. Their meeting was nothing more than a brief encounter at a large banquet.
“Then, what brings you here?”
“P-Pardon?”
“There must be a reason you wanted to see me.”
“Ah... I just really wanted to meet you. I wondered what kind of person Sister loves...”
It’s because she never tells me anything, she added, looking utterly forlorn.
Seeing this, Roen almost shouted. However, he had to step back because Rajaden intervened.
“Hmm...” Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Still problematic, but not quite right to point out. How should he respond?
An order to dismiss Roen was given.
“Roen, you may leave.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Clearly, she wants to be alone with me.”
“Your Highness!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
A certain smile crossed Rajaden’s lips, which Roen recognized and resignedly stepped back.
“This child is still my sister. Surely, no problems will arise.”
“Of course. What do you think of me?”
With Roen’s dismissal, joy spread across Aileen’s face.
At first glance, it was an utterly charming smile.
He revisited stories he had heard long ago.
Violet S. Everett had once been unfairly compared to her younger sister while wearing the undeserved label of a villainess.
Yet.
“Your Highness?”
“...Never mind. Go back. I hope you won’t inform Lady Violet about today’s incident.”
“Of course. I never intended to in the first place.”
Roen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Rajaden, whose expression remained purely gentle.
Rajaden could tell just from the short conversation he had exchanged with Aileen today.
Words that seem to demean oneself but ultimately deny and hope to belittle the other.
He had read about it only through documents until now, but today, Rajaden felt firsthand what his unrequited love had suffered.
Despite it being an inexperienced realm and apart from understanding it, he was furious.
His insides twisted and he struggled to breathe properly.
Realizing that the expressions from literature were not merely idiomatic, all Rajaden could do was smile and observe Aileen.
The affection he harbored was indeed a bothersome emotion. The joy that surged upon seeing his beloved was as intense as it was brief.
He was confident in obtaining what he wanted, but he despised being unable to control himself.
No matter how furious he was inside, he had to appear calm on the outside.
Meanwhile, Roen, knowing such aspects of Rajaden’s personality, could not trust him.

Amidst this calm before the storm, the guardian of the borders had taken a step into the capital.
