"Yes…"
I rolled my eyes as I replied.
"So, what should I do?"
I awkwardly smiled and nodded silently at Duke Miriel's words.
And Duke Miriel closed his mouth with some dissatisfaction.
So, there was only silence between us.
After a while, he sighed and opened his mouth first.
"So, what's your request?"
"Tomorrow, can I go with my sister to the imperial palace? I know my teacher should be coming..."
"To the imperial palace? Why do you want to go there?"
"I want to accompany my sister! Plus, my friend, who was kidnapped at the same time, lives there."
Duke Miriel's eyes narrowed. It was clear that he knew what I was talking about.
And he didn't seem very pleased.
"I can't...."
I tilted my head. The tail, which had been erect with my head, drooped.
"If I can't, it's fine..."
