Chapter 370: Three Reports
“!!”
The person who had been on Siana’s mind this whole time.
When the name Rezamiliana came out of Violet’s mouth, Siana’s eyes widened in shock.
“Lux-kun… met with Rezamiliana-anesama…?”
“Yes.”
Even when she asked again, unable to believe it, Violet’s answer, of course, didn’t change.
“I thought the scent on Lux-kun might be the same as Rezamiliana-anesama’s, but to think he was actually meeting her…”
Lux-kun did place second in the swordsmanship tournament, so if Rezamiliana-anesama evaluated him for that and they were training together, I could still understand it, but Lux-kun said he went out for a meal today…
“What exactly is going on?”
With one question leading to another, she couldn’t sort out her thoughts.
When Siana voiced that, Violet replied in a calm tone.
“Since the other party was Rezamiliana-sama, if I had approached close enough to overhear their conversation, there was a risk she would notice my presence, so I was unable to learn the details of their interaction.”
But, she continued.
“There are three points I should report, so I will inform you of those.”
“…Yes, please do.”
First, the first point.
“Rezamiliana-sama was wearing a dress today.”
“!? R-Rezamiliana-anesama… in a dress!?”
“Yes.”
Such a shocking statement right from the start made Siana raise her voice in surprise.
Rezamiliana had never once worn a dress before, no matter how many times she had been asked to as a princess.
“…Is that even possible?”
“It’s understandable that you’re surprised, Ojou-sama… in fact, I also thought at first that I was mistaken… however, that was undoubtedly Rezamiliana-sama.”
“…”
Though the shock still hadn’t faded, she couldn’t remain silent forever.
“Please continue.”
She urged.
Violet nodded.
“Understood. Moving on to the second point… as Rodwell-sama himself told you earlier, the two of them were dining together.”
“It’s true Lux-kun told me earlier that he had a meal today, but now that I know the other person was Rezamiliana-anesama, and that she was in a dress, even the simple word ‘meal’ takes on a very different meaning.”
“Indeed… as I mentioned, I could not hear their conversation, and Rezamiliana-sama did not display anything like gazing at Rodwell-sama in fascination and smiling unnaturally, as you do, Ojou-sama, so I cannot say for certain… however, it seemed that Rezamiliana-sama was finding a different kind of enjoyment in her time with Rodwell-sama than when she speaks with you or Elizalina-sama.”
“…!”
Rezamiliana did sometimes show such expressions in front of her younger sisters, Felisiana and Elizalina,
But when interacting with others, she had never shown any sign of enjoyment.
So Siana was slightly surprised by those words as well, when
Violet continued speaking.
“And finally, the third point… after finishing their meal, Rezamiliana-sama and Rodwell-sama entered the royal castle together.”
“The royal castle…?”
“Yes. I do not know their purpose, but it appears the two of them entered the throne room.”
“…Father isn’t in the throne room at night, so it doesn’t seem like they went to see him, but I can’t see their purpose.”
“Yes… however, with this much evidence gathered, there is one possibility…”
After saying that much, Violet paused briefly, then looked straight into Siana’s eyes and said,
“…we may need to consider the possibility that even Rezamiliana-sama has feelings for Rodwell-sama.”
