As soon as Lord Edward heard the name “Rachel,” he widely opened his eyes.

He rushed straight towards Makoto and accidentally bumped right into his forehead.

“Ow, that hurt…”

Makoto said as he rubbed his forehead with his right hand.

However, perhaps it’s because Lord Edward is hard-headed, but he did not even flinch.

“Did Rachel wake up?!”

Lord Edward shouts, he was so loud that I have to wonder if he even got spit on Makoto’s face.

There was not even a single trace of that calm that he displayed earlier.

Lord Edward approaches Makoto with a desperate look on his face.

“No, however, I now know where Rachel’s soul is.”

“Seriously?!”

Lord Edward reacted immediately upon hearing what Makoto said.

His face was overflowing with joy.

“Indeed. Rachel’s soul currently lies inside a certain woman’s body.”

“I see. So Rachel’s soul is safe. I’m relieved. In that case, what should we do to return her soul back to her body?”

Lord Edward asked with visible tears in his eyes.

Makoto lightly scratched his cheeks as if he was troubled by the sudden question.

“I’m still not sure exactly how we can return her soul back to her body. But Lyra gave us her word that she will be helping us; I believe we should be able to return Rachel’s soul back shortly.”

Makoto said while pointing at me.

In response, Lord Edward tilted his head.

“Can she really do anything to help?”

“She can. Rachel’s soul is sleeping inside of her body, after all. That’s why in order to return Rachel’s soul, we absolutely need her help.”

Makoto slowly explained.

Upon hearing the news, Lord Edward’s expression gradually changed, and his face became flushed.

His cheeks became dyed with a slight pink tint.

“Rachel! Rachel!”

He vigorously rushed and hugged me.

“Ah…!”

Everything was so sudden, he hugged me out of nowhere. Out of surprise, I screamed.

But even then, Lord Edward continue embracing me tightly.

Makoto was looking at us with a complete loss as to what to do. Noticing that I said:

“L-Lord Edward, please let go. Even though Rachel’s soul is inside of me, I’m not Rachel. She’s currently sleeping inside of me. I don’t want her to have any sort of misunderstanding, so please let go!”

“S-Sorry…”

I explained the situation to Lord Edward, and he seemed a bit dejected, but in the end, he distanced himself from me.

“Whew.”

Instinctively, I let out a sigh.

“Lord Edward, please calm down. We can’t let the emperor find out about any of this. Publicly, you’re not supposed to show any interest in Rachel at all.”

Makoto scolded.

But still though, exactly what did he mean by not letting the emperor find out about any of this.

Was it not the emperor’s decision to have Lord Edward marry Rachel?

My head was gradually filling with questions.
