Vol 2 Chapter 9 (2/2)

He didn’t want to becoed frorowing distant, he didn’t want to just wait and let their hearts separate without saying anything Neisanto meet Neisan directly and be told that

Aeneas quickened his walk, as if stirred up by an impulse

He had to meet and talk with Neisan

He couldn’t change his feelings for Celiastina, but he wanted to say that properly He strongly thought that

He ran down the stairs, leaping past every other step While al with people around corners, Aeneas walked directly to the training ground Neisan, as nearly never an escort, usually participated in training

When he arrived iround, there were squires and soldiers swinging swords in pairs He searched for the rare redhead a like that anywhere

(Did I guess wrong?)

Feeling soaze around, wondering if Neisan was taking a break at the edge of the training ground One of the squires noticed Aeneas and called out to him but, when asked, it see

“Did he take a holiday today?”

“He didn’t have any plans like that yesterday, but maybe he fell ill”

“I see, thanks”

He’d never heard of Neisan falling ill and staying in bed But, when he thought about the Holy Jail, he changed hisunlikely and decided to visit Neisan’s room

…… However, a familiar voice was not returned

“Neisan?”

He knocked again, this tier But still he couldn’t hear any sound from inside

“Hey, Neisan, if you can hear ”

Finally, he called out again The expected silence wrapped around his body and Aeneas placed his hand on the door knob When he pressed, the knob turned doith an unexpected lack of resistance It was unlocked

Aeneas opened the door gingerly Creaaaak, only the dry sound of the door ushered in the sudden visitor

The room was completely empty

Neisan wasn’t here either Thinking about the possibilities of this fact, Aeneas stood there dumbfounded for a while
