"Gaspard, you?"
“I thought this year would pass without a single joke… Still, in this situation. You can't joke around in a place like this.
—…….
As if quite surprised, Robert and Sauveur jumped up and asked. As if it were a lie that he had kept his mouth shut until now, as if he had not been able to speak, Sauveur's words for him not to joke were relentless.
He can't believe that Gaspard really wants to do the escort mission. It is by no means a task to be welcomed and chosen. Be the lady's escort?
It was obvious that he would eat his wits, ignore him and all the troublesome things would have to be taken care of.
As much as Ante got off topic, when they thought of his willingness to raise his hand against his cheeks, it was clear to him that it would never be easy.
Despite his colleagues' concerns, Gaspard silently shook his head. Even if it wasn't a joke anyway, it seemed like Robert or Sauveur had no intention of believing it. And Gaspard had a reason to accompany Bianca...
Gaspard looked up and looked at Zachary. Zachary also faced Gaspard. Beneath the silence, the eyes of the two men collided in midair. Zachary's eyes were too dry to see a loyal subordinate who claimed to be his wife's escort. Zachary's black eyes examined what Gaspard thought when he supported the decision to be his escort.
Although the intention was clear, Gaspard was unable to speak. Embarrassed by his reputation as an iron-walled knight, he didn't have the heart to speak. Gaspard looked at Bianca. Realizing how things were going, Bianca shrugged. In a heavy environment for everyone, only Bianca's voice was light and fresh.
"If it's Sir Gaspard, I agree too."
“…Are you really alright?
Zachary frowned. It was Zachary himself who forced the escort spot on Bianca, but he didn't seem very happy when Gaspard was chosen as her escort. Is there any reason why it's not right for the job? However, from Bianca's point of view, Gaspard was a welcome and sympathetic opponent.
Gaspard, whom Bianca saw, was a man always reticent and mute. He doesn't know what he's really thinking in his mind, but he's good to be short-spoken. It would be impossible to pretend that Gaspard's large size would not be easily noticed, but at least he would not express his presence through sound.
If he's going to keep an eye on her anyway, he'd be better off with someone less inconvenient. It was terrifying to even think of having the pretentious Robert or the rude Sauveur at her side. If Gaspard hadn't offered, Bianca would have chosen him. Bianca smiled, stating that she was not dissatisfied with this decision.
-Yes. It is not noisy.
—…….
Zachary didn't reply like he didn't understand. He just looked at Bianca for a while. As if he was trying to find out something.
“If you have any complaints, shouldn't you speak up? I don't know what the hell you're looking for."
The corners of Bianca's lips, which had lifted slightly in the awkward silence, twitched.
Anyway, he had already chosen the guard, no, the escort. So he could already leave this awkward place now. Bianca couldn't take the atmosphere and she stood up first.
"Then I say goodbye."
Bianca said goodbye and left. Yvonne also bowed to Zachary and followed Bianca.
Zachary, who was watching Bianca's thin back disappear, pointed the tip of his chin at Gaspard. Gaspard, who read the lord's will from him, politely took his leave and followed Bianca. Bum Bum.
The sound of Gaspard's footsteps followed Bianca's back.
It is also not polite for men to stay in a room where the owner has long disappeared. Zachary, Robert, and Sauveur also immediately left the room. They had their own work to do.
They headed to Zachary's office. Vincent, who was waiting with the documents that needed to be inspected by Zachary, greeted them.
“It seems that Gaspard-nim is his escort.
"Is Gaspard going to be all right?"
“Because you are inexperienced, you might go against the lady's wishes.
She is the Countess who is famous for being rude.
Wouldn't it be too difficult for Gaspar, who has no relationship with women? Robert and Sauveur voiced their questions and concerns one after another.
Zachary, who had been quietly listening to his subordinates' words, turned back to the desk and smiled.
"Although they're talking now, they didn't say they'd take the job."
—…….
"Gaspard will do well." He is a man who does not disappoint in what he does.
The words are forceful, but Zachary's eyes shone brightly when he said that. Not knowing if they blamed Sauveur and Robert for not showing up or if he was offended by Gaspard's departure, Sauveur and Robert closed their mouths and lowered their heads to the floor.
Vincent pushed the chair out, but Zachary didn't sit down and looked out the window. From his office, he could see the garden where Bianca often walked. As expected, Bianca, well dressed, was seen leaving the castle. Her breath was clearly a blur between her lips.
"...What the hell are you thinking, Count?" Escort the lady…. Of course, something can happen in the territory, but there is no need to attach a commander. Gaspard has work this time….
Robert worked up the courage to ask. Zachary looked at Bianca as she disappeared into the trees in the garden and answered bluntly.
“Anyway, there are no plans to send troops this winter.
-Even so.
“I have to go to the capital next spring.
-Yes. When he heads to the capital, he will have to go with all the commanders, anyway….
Then, of course, Gaspard will also need to head to the capital, so Bianca's escort will be over. Only during this winter. It was not understood why he wanted to use a deputy commander as an escort for such a short period of time.
At that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Robert's head.
-No way.
Robert muttered incredulously. Nonsense. No way…. However, as he looked at Zachary's casual face, the anxiety that what he was thinking was correct crept in.
Sauveur closed his eyes as if he still hadn't understood the situation, as if he didn't understand why Robert was so prickly. Robert, who swallowed hard, asked carefully.
"Will he go with you?"
“If I go this time, I'll probably have to stay in the capital for about half a year.
-Even so…
Faced with the apparently natural response of
Zachary, Robert murmured his lips. Sauveur's face, belatedly realizing the situation, was stunned. Now, Zachary was talking about going to the capital with Bianca! Vincent was calm, as if he had already known.
No, if you thought that, you should have told us right away!
Only now was it possible to understand why Zachary dared to put a close aide of his as his escort. To move freely in the royal palace, a certain degree of title was required, and there were only a handful of knights skilled enough to protect Bianca in the dangerous capital. So, in order to get acquainted with her face beforehand, he would accompany her early.
Ultimately, the current escort was to protect her in the capital next year. Does Gaspard know about this? Of course he doesn't know. Robert and Sauveur heaved a sad sigh.
It is questionable whether Bianca wanted to go to the capital in the first place. Because the countess they knew locked herself in her room at Arno Castle, acting like she was the center of the world.
When one question is resolved, another question arises. No, why are you planning to take Bianca to the capital with an escort all of a sudden? It is cumbersome and it is clear that there will be a lot of unpleasant noise. They do not know if she will endure the trip to the capital. As much as they thought about it, Zachary's decision was questionable.
It's been weird lately. Exactly, since he returned to Castle Arno this time.
If he had been the usual Zachary, he wouldn't have gone too far on the Ante thing. As much as he trusts Vincent, he leaves all of his servant problems to Vincent.
But this time, he asked for a doctor to be called, and participated in this and that, so that there would be no noise in the castle, and suddenly, he tried to take Bianca to the capital...
It was clear that Bianca was the cause, but they didn't know which of the two underlying emotions it was.
It was clear that the cause was Bianca, but it was not clear which of the two was the underlying emotion. At first glance, she seemed to favor him, but… They don't know why such a “favor” suddenly arose. They've been married for 9 years, right?
