In the morning Cedric leaves.

He seized the saddle with his two fine arms.

“Are you able to remove the splint thus quickly?”

“I’m all better.”

Camilla couldn’t believe Cedric’s broken arm had recovered in such a short time.

“You’re really……”

Camilla would only think Cedric had taken off the splint out of curiosity. She would never have thought that Cedric had been treated with divine power.

“Did you say three days?”

“Right. It’s a light inspection, so it won’t be long.”

Camilla retaliated by capturing tears that refused to flow.

‘Her acting abilities are a touch rusty.’

I saw Cedric off next to Camilla.

“U-U-Uncle, b-b-be careful. S-S-See you later.”

As I stuttered again, Cedric gave me an odd look. He couldn’t ask why since there were so many knights around him, so he just left.

Camilla pulled me back as the gate was closed and turned to a face that was not sad.

“Selina, hurry up and go inside. Your skin is being sunburned on your face.”

……The Male Lead didn’t even care about Selina’s face this much.

It was amusing but yet distressing.

How expensive is Camilla going to sell me?

“M-m-mother…. I… Is it o-okay if I go to the t-t-temple?”

“Why do you want to go there?”

“I-I-I I’m worried about my uncle, so……”

I eagerly squeezed tears out of my eyes.

The tears still not flowing out but fills my eyes in an instant.

Camilla, stiffened, stared at me.

‘Was I being too deliberate?’

I was worried if Camilla caught my act, but Camilla soon smiled.

“You must be worried about the injury in Cedric’s arm.”

As I nodded softly, Camilla said in admiration.

“Then you should go. I’ll ask them to prepare a carriage for you.”

Camilla stared at me with great satisfaction, as if there was a star in her eyes.

“How can you be so pretty? Even your crying face is still so pretty. My daughter.”
