To my surprise, he was looking at the exact spot where the loose bracelet had fall down around my wrist.
“Was that ‘thing’ given by your brother?”
It was clear that I had underestimated this man. Yeah, the final black-rose villain Chaser, who dominated all the stories in the book, was not the one who caught me. Rather, it was Chaser’s right-hand man. How good was that?
Maybe this man had hidden abilities that I didn’t know.
I nodded slowly.
“…yes, I told him I wanted some magic stuff, and he gave me this as a gift.”
…I feel so sorry for my nameless brother for using his name to save my ass. I just hope I won’t get him in trouble for this.
Cross fingers.
Yes, it would be difficult if Lenag would ask my brother about this later on, but, alas! It was an excellent opportunity to avoid him right now. Even if he comes back and brings it up again, I can come up with a story anytime to tell. And my excuse could be planned thoroughly.
Anyway, I’ll just worry about the future when it comes.
For now, a man named ‘brother’ gave me many things as a gift. Also, he sent whatever I wanted. Furthermore, a parcel comes in every day, and Lenag knew my brother. There was no way he didn’t know this.
However, I don’t know if my brother includes magic items in the parcels he sends…
If I argue more here, I could tell that he secretly gave this to me because he terribly cares for his little sister. Okay, that’s it. I can do this!
I smiled inside in triumph.
“I see.”
Even though my resolve was not grounded with facts, he readily accepted it without a doubt.
Oh, his response surprised me.
That convinced you? Really? Just like that?
“Well, is… is this something that cannot be brought inside the prison?”
“By principle, it is.”
Lenag answered in a decent tone. Then he put his gloved hand on his chest.
“But you don’t have to mind any rule in this prison… You are an exception, Miss Iana.”
“…exception?”
“Yes. It’s also what your brother asked me to do.”
The frosty voice pierced gently into my ear.
“To let Miss Iana be free whatever she tries to do.”
What was in front of me at this moment was this guy, but why do I feel like my brother’s presence was strangely growing? What the hell is he? How can he have the mighty Lenag follow his commands?
And most importantly, what does he think of Iana? I can’t believe that Kambrakam would be a place of such convenience.
Was that how much my brother cared for me?
I was a little confused.
Obviously, aristocratic prisoners were freer to wander than the other prisoners who really committed crimes. Of course, this was partly due to the fact that they were not guilty and that they were not real sinners. However, this didn’t mean that there were no rules to abide.
“And I personally hope so.”
This means that even the aristocrats had to follow the rules; they should be on time for meals and never go out at night.
