"Well, Lyle. Why are we going to the royal palace, can you tell me the reason?"

"… well, I think you must have heard already my lady…"

Lyle didn't answer my question…

I didn't continue talking after that. Lyle walks in front of me in silence too and… the feeling that's overflowing from him was extremely bad.

Even if I talked to him or touched his shoulder his mood did not change…

We walked while being guided by one of the servants waiting at the entrance of the palace.

Yuri was waiting there. I can not hide my surprise when I saw her.

"Oh, after all, Lyle, you came … But… I called you alone… why is there another person here… I didn't call her here…"

Her eyes shone as soon as she saw Lyle appearing. But… she seemed like she was feigning ignorance about me as it quickly changed to a look of despise and hate when she looked that I was standing next to him…

"There's no problem Lyle… Even if this… lady… is here"

Ironically, she distorts her mouth while mentioning me.

"Anyways I don't care about anything other than my goal."

…… I felt dizziness at this face of innocence and spiteful mouth girl. And at the same time, I feel doubtful about Lyle taking me here with an attitude like he knew it should be like that.

"So, why did you call me?" Lyle said with a face of disgust while looking at her.

"Are you asking me this? … you know already what I want, are you going to force it from my mouth?"

"No, I do not know, so I'm listening."

"Oh really …"

She breathes in deeply and sighed, but she does not seem to be troubled at all.

Rather, she seemed happy somehow.

"Okay, I'll talk without going around in circles, please enter the Order, because I want you only listening to me"

"You should know I refused this already"

"I know, but you must obey me this time"

She has such confidence in herself…

"When you enter the Order, I will lend you power and make you the most powerful man in the kingdom. I know your origins and your rightful place is not to be at the whims of some lady…"

I was further shocked by her words.

What on earth is she talking about…?

"Why do you know my origins?" Lyle just quietly asks her.

I did not hear their conversation, my head was crowded with thoughts.

"Now I am the future queen of this country, the information I want, I can easily obtain it. Your appearance is too elegant and your manners… are those of nobility… I was surprised that you were a mere escort of a lady, then I wondered… who were you… No way, you were the rightful heir to the Marquis Mirese family… your merciful but a commoner mother had an affair with the Marquis and had you. Although it was not a graceful event at the eyes of outsiders, I'm sympathetically the same as you… as my mother was a commoner killed by the wife's low morale and high jealousy. We share the same birth and fate not? "

Thinking about the words that came out of her, I was silent …

"Looks like what I said was right, you seem to not have told your past to that lady you brought here."

She was referring to me, her face was distorted with hate and she was laughing with all her might.

"Do you hate them Lyle? The Marquis Mirese, who didn't know anything about you and didn't care about your mother. Your mother who was killed by his wife… the wife who killed herself after she was expelled from the main house. But because the Marquis knew nothing, he lived a well and easy life… I ask you… Would you like to take revenge on your mother's enemy?, I'm sorry that Marquis Mirese and his wife are already dead, but I can give you power enough to take revenge on the entire Mirese House… Is it not a good proposal?"

There was insanity in her eyes. There was nothing to make her hesitate at all either.

Rather, she even seemed to hate the Marquis house. They were her allies, and the heir of that house was appointed by her as the Knight's Order captain.

"It is unfortunate, but I do not need anything from you."

Gratefully, Lyle was not floating with that fever of insanity as her. He firmly and flatly refused her.

I just kept quietly looking at him.

"What are you saying?"

At that reply, she was stunned.

"I told you, I do not need it."

"Lies!"

Again and again, her face got distorted with anger.

"It's impossible for you to not hate them! I heard that you once aimed to enter the knights order right? … There is no way that you don't want to enter now, did you get caught in the nets of that lovely duke's daughter?"

She asked Lyle.

To that intensiveness of feelings and also her anger, I have doubts written all over in my eyes.

But… Lyle looked at her coldly.

"I threw away the name of Marquis Mirese long ago… I originally did not have the qualifications to occupy that place. I was picked up by the lady and my old self died at that moment; I was reborn. So, I am not interested in things like that and I do not think that I would like to enter the Order only to get dust inside. With the lady I can polish my skills and be useful to many, but there? To be at the whims of some lady… "

"My lady, I just wanted to know why she knew my story that's why I came here today. It's only an exhibition of bad taste… I'll be careful with the calls I receive from now on."

As soon as he lost interest, Lyle answers the question I asked him before.

"Wait! … The past can't be thrown away so easily, especially as grudges and hatreds increment as the time pass by, don't you think so too?"

"I can't throw it away, but I don't have why, turn my back to face the past again, I have more important things, so I do not care about that family."

Lyle left after those words.

I also chase after him in a hurry.

Just as when we came, he was walking silently.

An atmosphere that is heavier than before was drifting between us.

"……"

As I thought about the situation, I said to myself, I must speak to Lyle.

"What?"

"It was a good thing that I accompanied you, I got to know your past in this way …"

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't find the right time to say it… It was not something important to bother you with it… "

His face that said so, had no sharpness. It was the usual man that I knew well.

"Thanks Lyle…"

I smiled embarrassed, and I hit Lyle's back with a -pom-.

Besides, Lyle also laughed.

"Even if you're a nobleman … Hey, do I look like I'll throw you away because of that?, don't you know me well?"

Merciless, I said to him while smiling. I do not need hold back.

"I'm just a dropped seed of Marquis Mirese… I think she called me today because she wanted to use my position…"

"Well, what is going to happen now then?"

"I didn't mention that she called me, because I didn't want to impose an extra burden on you …"

"I see…"

"As for my past, I knew all the truth from the time when you picked me up …"

"You are a rebellious guy! … I wanted to know about this sooner!"

Lyle sighed while I told him so, laughing gigantically.

"It's a black history that I don't want to remember… why do you want to know my past so much?"

"By the way, how is it that you ended in the streets at that time?"

"… I'm the son of the Marquis Mirese as you know now … The house of the marquis took me in after my mother died and tried to make me enter the Order of the Knights but… They told me that I can not keep being a shameless guy who dates all the ladies of the capital and I have to settle down first before entering the order… It seems like someone said I was going around picking girls, but I never did something like that… Well, they didn't believe it and thought I was dirtying the name of the family"

"Ow … what you said… are you serious?"

"… So that's why I said, it's a black history"

"Oh … Such a noble buddy has fallen to this princess"

"Do not say noble's buddy … because I'll cry…"

"Well, that was a lucky thing at the end"

"At that time the person who picked me cried … and said to me -you must only depend on your strength-."

"… What person …?"

"It was you… I felt that you were pitying me at that moment, a five-year-old girl lamented about my lack of power, I think I wouldn't be who I'm now without having heard those words… -If you want to become someone who can take care of his own future, be sure to put all your strength and say to yourself that you can make that wish fulfilled- "

He had eyes of remembrance.

"… It was the first time someone said that to me. You told me that I had the power to protect myself and also my late mother's dream inside me… Before, I did not want to be in that house and I was not originally interested in my father, I felt that I hated him for what happened. I only wished to enter the order at that time to be further away from father and follow the dream of mother."

"So, my lady… you became the most important person to me since that time"

"Well, I did not know, I don't remember most of my childhood memories… as I was very little…"

"Also, teacher said the same to me when he received me that day… something like… -come on, have confidence, if you believe, then everything is possible-"

"But you did not choose to follow your mother's dream…"

That said, I gently tapped Lyle's back.

"Naturally … There is something more worthy to do beyond accumulating dust in the order… Escorting the lady is way more interesting… That's something I can only ask my buddies not?"

Lyle also hits me on my back as if returning my previous hit.

… He's becoming more cunning.

Funnily, I became irritated at his cunning side, so I turned my back to Lyle and walked ahead, while he kept laughing.
