Immediately, Leold decided to accompany Siegfried to visit Testarossa. At first, it seemed that they were going to the duke Flugel's house, but since Testarossa belongs to a knighthood, they headed for the knighthood's office in the royal capital.
It may seem strange for a noblewoman to be in a knighthood, but because of the magic that exists in this world, it is possible for both men and women to join the knighthood as long as they are capable and have the appropriate personality.
"Can you wait here for a moment?"
When they arrived at the place where the knights were staying, Siegfried went to call Testarossa. Leold thought about following him, but considering his position, he decided to wait.
After waiting for a while, he came back with a female knight in tow. Of course, that female knight was Testarossa.
"Good day, Count Harvest,. How can I help you today?
"No need to be shy. There is no one here who would give you a hard time, so make yourself at home."
"I see. Well, I'll take your word for it. It's been a long time, Leo."
"...... certainly no one here to nitpick, but it's been a long time since I've been called that. Teresa."
The two had known each other since childhood, as they were both dukes. Moreover, Testarossa is also good friends with Elina. She was older than Elina, and she loved Leold as if he was her little brother.
However, when Leold's behavior became worse, the Duke of Flugel kept her away from him. Because of this, the two had not interacted with each other until now.
". I never thought you would grow up to be such a fine man."
"I'm sorry, but I'm not here to reminisce. I want to ask you something. I want to know where Caroline is now."
"Caroline? What? She's not in Zeat?"
"What? What do you mean?"
' That's exactly what I mean. ......"
"Wait, wait. Explain it to me from the start".
"Well, you know that she and I have been corresponding through letters, but it was only about a month ago, wasn't it? She mentioned in her letter that she was going to visit Zeat. I haven't heard from her since."
What the heck. ......! So is Caroline in Zeat?
"I don't know. She wrote in her letter that she was going there without using the transfer magic circle."
'Why? Why wouldn't she use the transfer magic circle?"
"Because it's a bit expensive for a commoner."
Leold was shocked as if he had been hit on the head. Testarossa's words were right. Leoldo is using the magic circle with great enthusiasm, but the price of using the magic circle is high for a commoner.
"I didn't know that ......! Then, where is Caroline!"
"Ummm. I think she should have arrived in Zeat by now, but I haven't heard from her, so I don't know."
"Damn!"
Leoldo almost got up and started to move, but he knew he couldn't waste any more time here.
"Thanks for the tip, Testarossa. I'm going back to Zeat to look for Caroline. Sieg, thanks for your hard work. Here's a little something for you. Take it."
Leold, who moved briskly, thanked Testarossa and handed the money to Siegfried, who had guided him here.
'Eh, is it this fine?'
'Never mind. Unlike you, I'm rich."
"Ugh. ......."
The sarcastic way he said it made Siegfried's mouth curl into a smile, but he couldn't say anything back because he was sure what Leold was talking about.
"Leo-kun."
What is it?"
'Come visit my house again sometime."
'............ when I feel like it.'
Leold did not look back when he was stopped. Testarossa's words reminded Leold a little of the old days, but he did not feel like visiting. So he gave a vague reply and left.
After Leold left, Siegfried asked Testarossa a question.
'Do you like Leoldo, Teresa senpai?"
'Huh? What makes you think so?'
'No, because it seemed like you seemed to be having a good time.
'Hmmm, it seemed that way. I don't like Leo. I just thought it would be nice if we could be friends like we used to be."
"I'm not sure if that's true. I thought that Teresa hated Leordo like Elina did."
"I guess so. It's true that I'm a duke too, so it's not surprising that you would think so, since I've been interacting with Leo for a long time. But I was separated from Leo soon after his poor behavior. So I didn't pay much attention to him because all I knew about him was rumors."
"But I think they were all bad rumors, weren't they?
" Yes, there were a lot of bad stories. But you can easily find that out with a little research, can't you? Leo, sure, he was abusive to the servants and unfairly dismissed, but that's all. Well, I can't defend the incident at the school, though".
After saying that, Testarossa turned her back and started walking away, and Siegfried hurriedly started walking after her.
