“Are you returning to the Ravaal Kingdom because of unfulfilled promises?”

“Quite simply, yes.”

Alicia sounded certain at Henry’s words.

That was very like Alicia. …I want to support that Alicia-ness.

A short pause of silence.

I was sure that everyone felt that there was no point in stopping Alicia, but also that they still didn’t want her to go.

Because everyone here loves Alicia.

She just came back, but it would be sad to see her disappear again so soon.

“Well, go ahead.”

Albert was the first to speak.

We all turned to look at him. We didn’t expect him to give her a push.

Maybe this was what being the eldest son was all about. He could make this decision because he loved his sister.

Alicia looked at Albert with a sparkle in her eyes.

Albert’s words must have been unexpected to him. His mindset was probably to let his cute little sister go on a trip.

“…Really?”

“I assume you only came back to mourn Will-sama’s death. Then you can continue to do what you need to do in the Ravaal Kingdom until you’re satisfied.”

“Hey, Brother Al!”

“We have no right to interfere with Alicia’s life.”

Albert said as he looked at Henry.

Henry had nothing to say. We followed Alicia’s momentum until now, and we have no right to prevent it.

“But I have one condition.”

“What is it?”

“Take Gilles with you.”

Albert’s suggestion made me freeze.

Oh, this man was thinking about me so much.

That alone made my heart warm. I was so happy to have met this family from the bottom of my heart.

I owe Alicia a debt of gratitude that I could never repay. But at the same time, I also owe it to this house. I intend to stay on the side of the Williams family for the rest of my life.

Alicia glanced at me. I was a little nervous at the look she gave me.

“Yes, of course I intend to.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Alicia turned her gaze back to Albert.

“Did you think, rather, that I would leave Gilles?”

“No, I didn’t think you would, but just in case.”

“…How much longer will you be here?”

Henry joined the conversation.

Apparently, Henry was not rooting for Alicia to go to the Ravaal Kingdom at all.

“…I’ll be here for about a week.”

Alicia said after thinking for a bit.

Originally, she was probably planning to head to Ravaal Kingdom right away. But, thinking of Henry, I think she extended it to about a week.

For Alicia, the promise of Ravaal Kingdom was important, but her family was just as important.

“I don’t really understand Alicia after all, do you?”

Finn’s cheerful voice echoed in the room. The atmosphere in the room changed at once.

“Is that so?”

“Yes. I’ve been watching her since I was little, but I don’t know what kind of person she is.”

“That’s my line.”

Finn is certainly much more of an enigma than Alicia.

Maybe it was because of the difference in the density of their involvement…

“She’s a strange girl to go all the way to a thorny path when she can live a life of a lush, carefree young lady.”

“That’s not for fun either. It’s a real thorny road.”

Finn and Curtis looked at Alicia with amusement.
