Chapter 345
Chapter 345
"Fara, I want to reiterate that what we have discussed here today will remain between us."
"Of course, I will take it to my grave."
"What is a grave? ...... haha, you can tell it to me when it's time."
I couldn't help but laugh at the words that Fara uttered with her eyes full of determination.
Then she too breaks into a smile and says, "Well, I'll keep it a secret until that time.
When the secret talk with Farah was over, I said to Diana and Asuna, who were waiting for me outside the room, "Thanks for waiting, it's all right now."
The two of them bobbed to me and entered the room without seeming to ask me anything in particular, but seemed unconcerned.
Soon after, Fara coughed, "Kohon.
"Master Rid, what should we do after this?"
"I guess so. ...... I've told you what you need to know. Let's get ready for tomorrow, shall we?"
"I'm sorry. Well, Asuna and I will go back to our room."
"I'll be back in my room."
I nodded and got up from my seat and walked her to the next room.
I told Diana that I was going to go back to my room and get some rest for tomorrow.
She nodded and left the room.
I was left alone and lay on my back on the bed as if the threads of tension had been broken.
"I had an encounter with Valerie and her family earlier today, and then a discussion with my father. I'm more exhausted than I thought I'd be after talking to Farah about memories, pseudo-experiences, and absolution in my previous life."
But that day, I couldn't sleep well.
I was filled with a sense of freedom and elation as if I had just unloaded a very heavy burden, perhaps because I had confided everything to Farrah.
And my heart was filled with excitement because tomorrow I would finally be greeting Their Majesties at the Imperial Castle.
Still, after a while, I fell into a deep sleep.
◇
The next day, I woke up to an unfamiliar view and muttered to myself as I had promised, "...... also unfamiliar ceiling," and then I got up from the bed, rubbed my eyes, and stretched out with my arms raised above my head, "Hmmm.
Then I suddenly looked to the side of the bed and saw a familiar face there, blushing in some way.
My eyes met hers involuntarily, and I tilted my head back.
"What are you doing, ...... Fara?"
"I've been handed the task of waking up in the morning by Diana."
Well, then you should have woken me up.
When I answered her, she kind of giggled.
"I was going to wake you up, but Master Rid's sleeping face was so ...... cute that I couldn't help but look at it."
"...... what?"
When I was taken aback by the unexpected words, there was a knock on the door and Deanna entered the room and bailed, saying, "Master Rid, please excuse me."
Then, when she looked at us, she let out a sigh and said, "Ha .......
"Fara-sama, with all due respect, we don't have much time today as we are going up to the castle. I would appreciate it if you could wait until we return to Bardia to enjoy Master Rid's sleeping face."
Yes, I understand."
"Ehh..."
I was left behind as the two of them exchanged a breathtaking exchange of words.
◇
After dressing and breakfast, I was summoned by my father to visit the office with Deanna.
"Father, may I come in?"
"Yes, come in."
After hearing the answer, I entered the office and sat down on the sofa with him as usual.
Carlo, the butler, was also in the room, but as soon as we entered, he bailed and left the room.
It seems that my father had told him in advance to leave the room when I arrived.
When we were alone in the room, he suddenly said,
"Let's make this quick because we have time to get to the castle. ...... Rid, did you tell Fara everything yesterday?"
'Yes, I did,old her everything I could tell her, including my memories and pseudo-experiences of my previous life."
...... And did she say anything about it?"
I can see a little bit of worry in my father's eyes.
Perhaps he is concerned about me and Fara.
I smiled, partly to reassure him.
'Yes. She told me that she was glad that I had shared my secret with her. Then she also said she would stay with me as a member of the Bardia family."
"Well, she is a good girl, isn't she? You will protect her well, won't you?"
Of course. I will make us a husband and wife like father and mother."
The father's brow wrinkled up in a smile, and he let out a sigh.
You can't be that way in front of His Majesty and the nobles. You need to brace yourself."
"Yes, I know."
"I hope so. ...... Well, that's all I have to say."
"I beg your pardon. Now, if you'll excuse me."
After the discussion, I left the office and went back to my room to get ready and put my appearance in order again.
And finally, it was time to go to the castle to greet Their Majesties.
