“Don’t walk around for too long. It’s chilly at dawn so be sure to dress properly no matter how urgent it is. The number of people with colds tend to go up this time of year.”

“Don’t run around dangerously either.”

“Only with your permission!”

And then he jumped back. Louise scrambled to the window and looked down, and saw that he was using the architecture on the building wall to deftly make his descent to the ground. He landed, waved wildly to her, then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The door to Ian’s room opened just as she arrived there. The young official was coming out. As he cautiously closed the door, Louise paused in the hallway. Her fists were clenched with tension.

Finally, the official turned and spotted Louise. She was worried about what to do if he left or simply ignored her.

Instead, he smiled and faced her. With a rather friendly expression.

“…I have a question to ask you.”

Louise approached him and spoke in a low voice.

“It appears so.”

Fortunately, he responded to the conversation right away.

“I can guess. You were concerned, weren’t you? Over if I recorded what happened that day. My apologies.”

He gave a nod of his head. There was no way to know what the apology was for, so Louise could not receive it.

“I’m afraid I caused you concern because I might not have communicated it properly to you. This, I mean.”

He took his index finger to his lips.

“I’ll keep it a secret, so don’t worry. It also meant that I wouldn’t tell the Crown Prince. Only if things get bigger am I obligated to write it down.”

Louise was relieved at the unexpectedly kind answer. It turned out she was more worried than she needed to be.

“I’m glad that you did not want it written down anyway. Smart.”

“O-oh. It was just embarrassing…”

“Yes, it is embarrassing. But not in history.”

He smiled again at Louise.

“Your name and the prince’s name cannot be side by side.”
