The princess hesitated to speak, and followed Shade toward the alley. She saw Shade taking off his hood, then let go of her hand, and raised his hand to take off her hood.

The distance between the two of them was very close at this time. The girl with long pale blond hair bit her lips and turned her head slightly as if she was angry, not looking into Shade's eyes.

Then, she felt Shade's hand holding hers again.

The steps were unexpectedly much lighter, and the two people holding hands arrived at the alley in silence. Shade took the initiative and said:

"Next, we will take a carriage and go to the Tobesk Public Cemetery to visit an elder."

"Um."

Margaret didn't know why she answered so obediently. She followed Shade into the light of the gas lamp on the street again, but stopped abruptly:

"How...how old are you?"

【I knew she would ask this question first.】

"She" said in Shade's ear with a smile, and Shade also stopped:

"Twenty-two years old. Miss Carina and Princess Lesia both know this very well. Speaking of which, you all seem to be older than me."

The princess pursed her lips, which was an expression of displeasure. But she knew that her displeasure was not due to what happened just now, but because the young gentleman in front of her mentioned his age:

"Are you his informant?"

Who the "he" here refers to is clear to both of them.
