Chapter 70

“Why is it that you’re so concerned about Rachel?”

She looked at me with a puzzled face with a slight tilt.

And well, I can’t blame her. I don’t really have any connections with Rachel. To Makoto, it should have been the first time I have ever met Rachel. So to Makoto, for someone like me who would be a stranger to Rachel, it must be peculiar to her.

“Am I not allowed to worry about her?”

“Nothing like that, it’s just that it’s strange that you’re worried for someone you just met. What are you plotting?”

Ahh, she’s worried that I might be planning on doing something. That’s why Makoto is looking at me so sternly.

“I’m not planning anything. I’m just worried, is all.”

It’s not like I’ve thought of doing anything to Rachel.

I mean, I have her memories after all. So I haven’t thought about harming her in any way.

“…Is that so?”

“Yeah, that’s right. So? Can you tell me?”

Makoto was deep in thought with a troubled expression on her face.

“I’m just worried about her. I mean, she just gave birth to a child, right? So for her to just go unconscious since then… It’s just so sad…”

As I tried to express sadness, Makoto furrowed her brows a bit. I wonder if she got tired of all of this.

“…Rachel is fine. So don’t bother trying to get any favors from Lord Edward and just give up on him. No matter how much he may fall for you, you can’t get married to him. You can never become the crown princess due to your lineage, so please give up.”

“Oh? But I have never thought of getting any favors from him or anything like that.”

Indeed. I haven’t thought of such things. Though I may have to assassinate Lord Edward if anything.

“Is that right? Then let’s just leave it at that. Anyway, your house will be this one over here.”

We apparently arrived at one of the houses in the capital while we were talking. In front of me was a single house that looked decently neat. It was a one-story house, which is actually kind of rare around these parts. It seemed like it’s been several years since the house has been built, but it looked like it was regularly maintained. The house looked tidy and neat.

There was a garden with a flower bed, and it looked like I could raise flowers there too. Currently, there’s nothing but just grass growing in the garden.

“Looks kind of old, huh?”

“Yeah, this house was built about 100 years ago. It gets cleaned out every now and then, so there shouldn’t be any issues with it. You can start living here immediately.”

“I see. What about the other house?”

The building itself was decently old, but it looks like it was taken care of well, so it looks comfortable to live in. I’m not entirely sure how long I would be stuck here, but living in this house isn’t really an issue. But just in case, I wanted to see that one other house Makoto mentioned before.

“The other house is a little bit further up ahead.”

She said. She guided me to a house in the middle of a fancy looking neighborhood. And in there, there was a house that I have seen many times. It’s a mansion with 3 stories. In the northern area of the first floor, there’s a room. And that place is a very familiar place for me…

But, if that’s the case… Is she testing me?

“How come you’re showing me a house in such an extravagant neighborhood?”
