The Chancellor muttered, "The 'makeup box,' is it, Raide's secret…" with both hands on his head. King Adom looked at the Chancellor's worrying face and smiled like he was enjoying it.
…Even if you call it my secret. All I can say is that I knew…
The problem is the reason I knew… I am not smooth with words, and if I lie Croana will notice with magic.
If I put the "makeup box" on the table I thought it would go as I expected.
The Chancellor lifted a sour face, one hand still on his forehead, and looked at me.
"I will ask while I am at it. If I hear your secret. Will we be able to accept it?"
"To be honest, I think it is a difficult story…"
"Haa… you are human, right?"
"I am sorry, but could you not ask me the same thing Tetrin did? I am human. Just a combat instructor, and a tavern keeper."
"Where is the 'just,' you fool… aah, my head hurts."
The Chancellor put both hands on his head again and started worrying. All I could do was watch him with a troubled smile.
