Chapter 23: I can’t say anything back
“You mean I, me, have done that?”
“Yes, you did.
I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”
I’m not lying.
I can assure you that that was unmistakably you, Kaisar.
I don’t know if he thought he went unnoticed because he wore a mask and different clothes or that I would reconsider if he denied it, but I had certainly seen the whole process of Kaisar’s instant transformation into the masked man.
There is no way I could have mistaken them.
So I stared at Kaisar with confidence.
If you don’t want to be exposed, do as I say.
“Yeah, you actually seem to know me well enough to have no doubt that it was I underneath that mask…”
“—Then what?”
“—But as I said before, who would believe it?”
“Who you say…”
“I’m immoral and self-centred, hitting things and committing violence when I don’t like something.
When I learn that I cannot win by force of arms, I resort to my authority and do whatever I want.
Not long ago, I broke off an engagement with my fiancée, Sufia, in public at a party.
In order to save Sufia, who had her engagement broken off from such a worst man, I fought against some ruffians who used wyvern and defeated them single-handedly.”
Kaisar smiled slightly, but his eyes weren’t.
They were similar to that of a swindler.
“Who in the world would believe such a story? And if Bridgette told anyone, they would think, ‘Kaisar must have known her weak spot and would’ve told her to spread his crazy nonsense.’ It’s about me, Bridgette.
I know that no one will believe you if you tell them the truth.”
“…”
It’s frustrating that I can’t say anything back.
As Kaisar said, no matter how hard I work to spread the word, no one will believe me, and in fact, some may even take action against Kaisar to help me after mistakenly believing that he has my weakness.
“Well, don’t worry.
I have no intention to tell anyone what happened.
It happened because I broke off my engagement with Sufia.
If I had not broken it off and Bridgette had remained in the seat next to Her Highness Claude, the Modell family would not have made a move.
It’s not just a matter of apologizing for that, but let me apologize for the trouble I’ve caused you.
Please forgive me.”
After bowing his head with these words, the Kaisar that left wasn’t the Kaisar I knew so well.
Comparing Kaisar’s attitude to how I alone saw him act gave me a sense of discomfort, and I felt a certain feeling akin to conviction.
I knew there must be some reason why he broke off the engagement, so I began to cut down on my sleep to investigate him.
‘I’m going to tear down that aloof look on his face!’
I was determined to make it happen.
