Just as Gills father, Stan-ojisama, went to Farland, Chriss parents also went to Easter as well. However, there was a new transaction taking place in Farland, so there wasnt anything particularly unusual about Easter.

Usually Otou-sama goes in place of Okaa-sama who cant leave the capital, but this time, she said Id like to go for once, Felicia will be useful when it comes to it, Felicia said while shrugging.

You still cant charge your magic into the barrier magic stones, right? Nico asked seriously.

Yes, not yet. But I am training. So, Im sure shell make it back in seven or eight days, way before the ten day deadline.

If it comes to it, the royal family has Prince Lambert and Prince Al. Even the Moleseys have two people, my father and I. Its not like the Four Marquises cant leave the royal capital for more than ten days. Its because theres an unspoken rule that we dont touch the magic stone of other houses, Mark also added to Felicias explanation. Today is magic practice day, so Nii-sama, Gill and Mark are here.

Oh yeah, Ive heard of that before. Otou-sama said he barely made it back in ten days when he went to rescue me when I was kidnapped. He said it was hard to get permission from the Supervision Department.

Supervishion Departhmenth.

Woah, Lei knows some difficult words, Mark patted my head.

Well, Im sure both Gills father and Felicias mother received permission from the Supervision Department before they left.

Otou-syama shaid ith wash hard.

I dont know if its your Otou-samas fault, or if its thanks to him, Mark chuckled.

Ive been wondering about the Supervision Department too. I heard that Otou-sama will go to Wester, or rather Kaylie. Im afraid that hell have another argument with the Supervision Department, Nii-sama seemed a little worried.

My fathers the only one not going out.

Its because the Moleseys are in charge of domestic affairs.

It seemed that Marks House wasnt going anywhere.

But its become more troublesome because of Dean-samas unconventional trips, so the Supervision Department is more forgiving when giving permission. Its thanks to Lei and the Albans that the Four Marquises can leave the capital with ease.

Leis? I was surprised to hear my name pop up.

Its because Albans worked hard to get you back. Gills House, the Lisburns also did what they could.

Gill was a little down this week, probably because Stan-ojisama scolded him a lot last weekend. Mark turned towards Gill and included him in the conversation.

Oh, we went to Farland for a bit, didnt we?

We did. The hunters completely betrayed us.

Gill was laughing with Nii-sama as if he remembered something. It sounded like an adventure-filled story.

Lei hashnth heard abouth thhish.

Oh, I told you that I went to the north to train, didnt I?

I wnow thhath you were shthudying.

That was all I heard about their trip.

Luke, wont you tell us about it?

Yeah, do tell. What was so interesting about your trip? Maybe I should go on a trip too.

Is it a scary story?

Nico, Mark and Chris all had a twinkle in their eyes. Felicia looked as if she found it questionable and it was interesting.

Hollows appear in this story; will you be okay Chris?

Of course!

She probably didnt know what a Hollow was, but she proudly said it was alright.

Me? Of course, Im alright.

I remembered they treated me with the utmost care when I first returned. Otou-sama, Nii-sama and the people at the mansion were considerate and avoided mentioning my kidnapping, or what happened when I was kidnapped.

I never imagined that one day it would become a mere memory, something I can brag about to entertain my friends.

But it was one spring day when I thought that the end of my tough baby days was coming.

However, Nii-sama and Gills story was a little too scary to be entertaining.

Back then, a hunter ran out of the barrier with the barrier box to help his comrade who had gotten out of the barrier.

What?! We were sitting on the lawn, but as that part of the story came up, Nico stood up in surprise.

Luke and Gill will be killed by the Hollows!

Your Highness, were still alive, arent we?

Oh, youre right.

Nico sat down in relief. Chris and Felicia were sticking to me.

But we both secretly carried a newly developed barrier box with us.

Oh, Ive never heard about that.

A newly developed barrier box?

I wish you could have seen the surprised looks on the hunters faces.

The boys got excited. Nii-sama casually dropped a bomb after he told us that they had successfully killed the Hollows and ended the story.

Come to think of it, we dont need a barrier box to make a barrier.

Is that something you can say in front of Mark and Felicia? I panicky looked at Mark and Felicia.

Mark narrowed his eyes and he was frowning.

That night two weeks ago?

You noticed?

I felt something strong pass through my body. I knew something happened. And if I were to say what

Why are you looking at me? I averted my gaze and looked at the garden. That reminds me, the story was so interesting that I hadnt taken a nap today.

I can make it too.

Im practicing too.

Gill said and Nico also puffed his chest with pride.

Lei can do ith.

See.

Dammit.
