Makoto noticed that I wanted to say something and looked right at me with a smile.

“I’m sure you have a few questions, but for now, I can’t give you specifics. Once everything is settled, I’ll tell you everything you would like to know. But I would appreciate it if for now, you didn’t ask anything.”

So, he won’t tell me yet.

I kind of got that impression from earlier, but still, it’s a bit of a shock.

“Ok.”

Still, it’s not like I can say anything, so I just nodded.

“…Can’t I talk to Rachel?”

Lord Edward asked looking straight at Makoto.

So, he wants to talk to Rachel who’s inside of me. Considering Makoto was able to talk with Rachel, it should be possible with Lord Edward as well, I think.”

I glimpsed at Makoto.

And he slowly nodded back at me.

“It’s possible. However, it’s not exactly safe to have a slow conversation here. But if it’s that place…”

Is he suggesting that someone is keeping a watch here?

Is that’s the case, did they hear about everything we’ve talked about just now?

Hurriedly, I look around my surrounding. Times like this, I can actually make use of my experience living as an assassin.

However, I didn’t feel any suspicious presence or anything.

“Lyra, please relax. It’s safe here for now. However, there will be people who will get suspicious about this the longer we stay here. I personally doubt anyone is watching us here, but there probably is someone watching the area surrounding this place.”

Makoto gently said.

Lord Edward bitterly nodded as well.

I guess it must be true then.

So, the crown prince, Lord Edward, is being watched.

“Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the main reason why we’re here. We need to go to where Rachel is, and we also need to find a way to wake her up.”

“Got it, but Lady Lyra is…”

Lord Edward said while carefully looking at me.

“Indeed, she’s an assassin.”

Makoto said while smiling at Lord Edward.

I see, so it was bothering him that I was an assassin.

I was a bit worried that Lord Edward might have thought that I was deceiving Makoto.

Considering to Lord Edward, if he made the wrong decision, there’s a chance that Rachel might be assassinated.

“On top of that, it seems like was asked to assassinate you.”

Makoto says, almost as if he was just making idle conversation.

I stared right at Makoto.

I honestly didn’t think that he would tell Lord Edward all that.
