Chapter 498 (2/2)

“You know, Jero”

“Yes?”

Jero looked at me, and I smiled

“This is a seat where we see what others can’t and think what others can’t No matter e do, this is a position no one will know the value of”

However, it was a place where work had to be done That way, in the further future, changes could be made, and chaos could be avoided Slow, slowly, but effectively

Meanwhile, Agrigent had always undergone rapid changes, but the future of Agrigent would be different

“Can you do that?”

“… Sire?”

Jero hesitated

Reluctance

Whether he wanted to do the job or not, I had already planned to withdraw from my position

Whatever the conclusion Caitel would reach after co back, I would take responsibility for my actions, even if there was no evidence

Of course, I could be given a splendid retirement ceremony and withdraw from the position

That would be a little better to look at

All this while, I had suffered yet achieved a lot, so I could retire and enjoy life with h

There were reasons for that

Pririgient’s history had the Pri, nor had perfored from my work, and everyone lived on the codes I created

I was always concerned

Even if I retire, would it be a real retire person would handle the burden of the position A them, there would be some ould claim to be the second Ferdel

That wasn’t what I wanted

“Sire”

Knock, knock, knock

As I turned my head towards the sound, I saw an attendant near the door

The attendants seemed flustered

“The Countess of Viterbo is here”

Silvia?

Even Jero seemed shocked

The door opened; she entered the office with light steps Even Jeroa path for Sil

Just a short while ago, I expelled Valer from the office, so I couldn’t help but feel aard However, Silvia bleay the uncoht smile

“After two months of absence, my husband returned, and I went to see him, yet he didn’t even come to see e of clothes and lunch on the table

A lunch with her love, it looked hand- , but it was unfa back, I couldn’t remember as the last tih

Did Sil co htly as she could while bringingsun

“You look like you have a lot on your hand, right?”

“Huh How did you know?”

“Your face says it all”

I guess so Sil was different fro hoell she knew ry like this made my mouth feel filled with sand

“Are you worried about anything, Ferdel?”

Her gentle voice pulled me back to reality

A delicate woman, she had the power to touch my convoluted mind Even so, it wasn’t easy for ht have created a huge mess Perhaps our titles will be taken away Of course, that ht not happen too, but it could be-”

“It doesn’tmore, but she cut it off

I looked into her eyes, searching for confirmation; Sil just nodded as if it was true

She shtly

“There ht?”

As if she knew everything, her words were enough to make me feel relieved

Even then, even then…

“Huh”

“That’s it then”

What was I worrying about?

I knew that it would turn out like this, but the feeling becaet when I faced the situation

How could I not love her?

She reminded me of every moment

How could I not love her?

Sil approached me and stroked edwarm at her act

“Every tiht that maybe I put too much burden on you You always listened to my requests even if they were too hard; I wondered if I was acting too foolish”

I shook my head at her soft voice It was never like that

“No”

“Even then, that was how I thought”

She stopped talking and snificant, faint worries that were foreign to the other person, and our concerns eain

Who could do that?

There was one person who could do that

Since I didn’t want to let go of her, I hugged her back before releasing her Her eyes were softer than ever

“But you know…”

Her gaze was a little glooentle voice flowed like a butterfly

“But this was the country you made fairer, peaceful, livable, so I hoped that you would sit there for a little more, a little more”

Was it so?

Instead, I would always feel re up the job always felt terrible; I had to be in the Imperial Palace every day I couldn’t meet my family because of the job; I always felt sorry for Sil, who had to take up the mother’s role alone in the mansion

Maybe Sil knew my heart She smiled and looked at me

“You have had a hard time You can have a little rest now”

I wasn’t sad, but htenment calmly collided in uess it was

“Huh”

Silvia gently reached out to ers stroked my tired eyes

“Thank you, Ferdel”
