â⦠if you ask Owen, heâll probably bring it over.â
âAll right. Thatâs all I need.â
Huh? Was she sure she would hang up? I wasnât the only one embarrassed by this. Beyond the phone call, Ferdel also seemed flustered.
âS, Sil? Hey, honey? Hold on! Are you justâ¦â
âBye.â
âSil, Sil!â
Silvia, I didnât know sheâs like thatâ¦
As soon as her business was over, Silvia just hung up. Wow, sheâs cold.
âTell Owen to bring it.â
âYes.â
At Silviaâs command, the maid bowed her head and disappeared. I looked at her as I called her name.
âSil!â
âYes?â
âWhat is that?â
What I pointed to was that pyramid-shaped thing Silvia was still holding. She smiled at my question and gave it to me.
âOh, Princess, have you never seen one before? This is a telestone. Itâs made by cutting two spirit stones with the same energy wave, but thereâs only a few of them because itâs too expensive.â
âItâs beautiful.â
âThe more transparent it is, the more expensive it could get. Its transparency also dictates the distance it could be used.â
The telestone sat on my little hands; it was smaller than I thought. This made the call possible? I had no idea how it worked, but it was just amazing. I meant, they just made the call to each other⦠With this!
âItâs a very rare spirit stone only Agrigent make.â
âSo a spirit is sending voices inside it?â
âPerhaps youâre right.â
Really? I was speechless of Silviaâs acceptance. I was just saying what I wanted to say, but was it really true? No, no way.
At a time like this, I realize that âI am really living in a different worldâ and that I was really reincarnated to a whole new world. Just looking at the summoning sword of Caitel, the winter tree, and this⦠This world was filled with strange things foreign to me.
âI heard you called.â
Itâs the butler! Owen, Bolcenaâs butler, was a curious man to see from time to time. I didnât know there was such a young butler like him. When I heard of the name Owen, I thought he would be an old white-haired gentleman, but Owen was a 20-year-old young man.
âOh, Owen, come on in. Did you bring that?
âYes, here.â
However, whatâs that? What Owen handed over to Silvia was a large frame. What about the frame? My head tilted in wonder. At that moment the door opened and a totally unexpected man came into the greenhouse.
âSil!â
The person who burst into tears wasâ¦
âFerdel?â
Yeah, it was Ferdel. What??
I was surprised by his sudden appearance and pulled my upper body back, but Silvia frowned with a disapproving face. As soon as Ferdel came, he sat down in front of Silvia and wept.
âSilvia, how could you cut me off like that!? Youâre so cold! We werenât like this before!â
âDid you abandon your duties to come here at this time?â
âThatâs not the problem here! Sil, how could you treat me like that!?â
âDo you need to be scolded again?â
ââ¦â
Silviaâs victory!
Ferdel shut his mouth like a clam and puffed up his cheek. Was he a baby or an adult? It was a little pathetic, but at the same time, I envied Silvia a little. Why did I envy this couple every time I saw them? Even though Ferdel had so much power outside, heâs useless at home. Besides, he treated her as if she would blow up when the wind blows, or if he squeezes her sheâll popâ¦
Women need to marry men like that. Our Sil was a very happy woman.
âI postponed all government meetings. Iâll go back later in the evening.â
âOh dear.â
Shaking her head, Sil laughed. Ferdel smiled brightly as she smileed. Oh my gosh, I couldnât stop looking at this. As expected, a quarrel between a couple was like cutting water with a knife. Oh, this filthy couple.
âHuh? So you found it?â
Persistent in their own world, Ferdel approached me with a bright face. No, please donât mind me so much.
However, my wish was shattered. Ha, this rotten world.
âPrincess, this is your father. Heâs crazy.â
I knew. Did he think I was that stupid?
It was a portrait of Caitel that Silvia was looking for. Honestly, the painting doesnât seem to be able to keep up with the real thing, but itâs great if itâs this much reproduction. Still, I couldnât deny that a real Caitel was way better.
âPrincess, do you remember him now?â
âHeâs the emperor. Your father!â
âYes, I know.â
If I said I didnât know him another time, they would probably take me to the war. I should give up here.
