This Time, To The Believed Path
Progressions

“Two months from now will be held a party to celebrate the success of the labyrinth conquest in the Palace. If you want, will you come with me, Leana?”

Hearing Forde's sudden words made Leana almost drop her tablespoon. Forde looked at him calmly but slightly awkwardly.

Also true. He had just recalled that Iscan had told him about the party earlier.

The feast of success was supposed to be held not long after the imperial troops returned from the war but the Solfilyan empire gave two months for the families of the fallen warriors to

mourns.

An important event that would be attended by not only the imperial family but also the great pillars and high nobility, an event that Leana had never participated in before.

A party as big as the party of artists and celebrities and rich people is important in the modern world.

It was possible to worry about public talk about him would not enter his ears so imagine how nervous he was when he was at the event.

Forde who was still looking at Leana did not flinch back to speak.

“If you don't want then don't need to be forced.”

Leana came to her senses from her mind and immediately replied. “No, I'll come with you!”

“Are you okay? You don't like crowds, do you?”

Leana is surprised that Forde finds out that she does not like the crowd.

He never thought Forde would know anything about him or perhaps Leana was so indifferent to her surroundings that she herself did not realize that Forde might have noticed.

“I don't really like the crowd, but wouldn't it hurt to change the routine once in a while? Moreover it has been a very long time I have not met any other nobles.”

Forde was worried about his wife but said nothing afterwards.

“Then I will immediately order a nice dress for you.”

“Soal it let me just—”

“From the beginning I always wanted to do it so let me choose for you.”

“Eh?”

Leana was surprised to see a Forde that looked like it was welding.

“Ka, then do I leave it to you?” leana's reply made Forde's expression improve again.

“Send me. I will make you the most beautiful woman in this empire.”

‘Fo, Forde fight?!’ leana's mind screamed like a fangirl but her outer appearance did not change. He tried to calm her down.

“Thank you, Forde.”

During his wedding, he always received various gifts from Forde, especially on his birthday.

All gifts are not one who misses what he likes and when he needs something then the gift is the item he seeks.

Realizing that Forde cared about her deeply even though in silence, her guilt re-emerged.

He knew that he had made up his mind to stay on as Grandall but every time they returned Leana in his first life, he again doubted her.

In the first life or the current one is only one question that always prevents him to move forward.

Is Leana fit as part of Grandall?

Leana knew that it was just a stupid question but her mind did not stop to raise the question whenever her guilt towards Grandall rose from within her.

He just wanted to live a quiet life despite being filled with guilt. Can it be called calm?

Leana wanted to stop thinking complicated things and just rest.

“Leana are you okay? Suddenly your face turned pale.”

Forde reached out his hand and wiped the hair in front of his ears. Leana did not realize that her body was now feeling cold hot. He immediately covered his anxiety.

“A-I'm fine. Looks like I'm too tired to work so I'd better get some rest early today.”

“Alright, I'll take you to room.” Forde got up from his place.

“Leana, how about occasionally receiving kindness from your husband?”

Forde took Leana's hand and put on a face like a weld. His thumb rubbed the back of Leana's hand as if begging her.

Leana who was shocked by Forde's actions was now unable to think properly.

“Alright! I gotcha! I accepted your offer!” leana replied while distancing her body a little.

Forde smiled with satisfaction and then led him to the room. Leana never remembered that she had a husband who was very considerate of her.

“Mistress, it looks like Alscan has completed five magic tools that you assigned to him.” Said Adde who read the contents of the letter sent by Alscan using an owl.

“Is that true?!”

In the spirit of Leana took a letter from Adde and read a short report in it.

The five magic tools that Alscan has completed are teleportation tools, communication tools, appearance changing tools, magic masks and tracking devices.

Of the five most anticipated by Leana is a teleportation tool. This way Leana will easily move places, especially when she wants to go to Alphiella.

“I want to see it immediately and test it!”

“Alscan has tested it for the safety of use so you do not need to rush.”

“But I want to have it immediately!” More precisely he wanted to immediately freely move to the place he wanted. Adde just sighed.

“I will deliver it to you soon when I get it from Alscan, so mistress please calm down here only.”

“I want to get the tool immediately so I can go to Alphiella! I want to finish all the business I can only do there!”

“Marquis won't let it so just give up madam.”

Leana frowned while Adde calmly sent back the Alscan owl along with a new letter.

“Mistress, the marquis has just returned from his mission after so long and aren't you mending your relationship now? It would be better if you settle here and understand each other.” Advice Adde.

“…”

Repairing his relationship with Forde is indeed one way that he can settle in Grandal but Leana still scowls dissatisfied.

He wants to re-establish Alphiella without delay.

Adde frowned seeing his master fall silent.

“From the beginning I did not understand what made you rush like this. Don't we still have enough time to at least split the time?”

“I know... I know it, but..”.

Deep inside Leana, he always anticipates the possibility of his plans going awry.

Right now their plan is going so smoothly that it makes him suspect that something bad is actually in the middle of the body beneath them.

Suddenly, Leana gets the idea to go to Alphiella.

“If at least I go out with the reason of wanting to shop to the city then from there I can use the shadow technique to quickly get to Alphiella and return before the afternoon, it should work ‘ right? Isn't that a good idea?”

“Mistress, you heard my words earlier?” Adde glared annoyedly at Leana. “You should be grateful that Mr. Iscan is not here. If he hears of your plan, how will it be?”

With Leana's orders, Iscan is now searching for the spy-cutter student he was looking for and will hire him at Alphiella. 

Leana has to admit that her abilities are so rare that she wants to have them.

If the uniqueness can be a new uniqueness for Alphiella, then they can get many benefits.

Leana looked at Adde with a smile on her face. Adde looked back in annoyance.

“So you want to help me?”

“No. Will.”  Adde.

Leana again scowled disappointedly at her desk limply. Regardless of his employer, Adde reconsidered the documents regarding Alphiella.
