Lilius’s worksite, the village, was tranquil. There, time passed by quietly, with a somewhat nostalgic air drifting about it.

Upon arrival, Lilius refused to say a word to Jill, and set out to do his job.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Seeing him like that, Jill watched him from a distance so as to not disturb his work.

There weren’t that many people living in the village, but by no means was it a small amount either. rLib G

However, no matter the issue or how trivial it was, Lilius faced them without disdain. Towards such a Lilius, the village people also had great faith in him and treated him with care. This was visible even without them saying a word.

It didn’t seem like there were any exceptionally major disasters or emergencies.

It was Lilius who had been frequently paying attention to their state of affairs to prevent any dangers.

Today too, he was doing his work seriously in order to not miss even the smallest signs. But the elderly villagers, mirroring their village’s atmosphere, did things at their own pace and kept doting on Lilius.

Led around by these villagers’ pace, their talk turned into what to eat for lunch, their grandchildren, and so on. After the topics flew around here and there, he was clearly irritated.

At such a time, the village children gathering around to play also started kicking up a fuss.

Finally, the mad Lilius scolded harshly, “Cut it out!” but the children only laughed cheekily.

Apparently giving up, Lilius’s shoulders drooped as he patted the childrens’ heads. Jill could also see that they seemed to be teasing Lilius, and unconsciously, a smile slipped out. N30rPv

Last night when he forgot the sweets, it was Lilius who invited him to go together to the village.

Jill had nodded before his thoughts even caught up, but now that he thought about it, was it too hasty?

“Ho—, so it was Lilius. ……I see, I see.”

When Jill was thinking, the man in front of him raised his lips in a broad smile. fVa5G

—Ah, somehow, he looked like a guy he knew.

In Jill’s mind, that guy who was a lion beastman like him, the most distinguished person in the country…… the emperor’s face surfaced.

The emperor also had an eccentric character.

On top of that, he was a moody person and always abandoned his work to slip out, and Jill had to go catch him by the scruff and tie him back. XpUWOd

That relationship had started since early childhood, and even now when they had children, it hadn’t changed.

“I’m this village’s chief. Good to meet you, Knight Commander-sama.”

“Today I am here for private reasons, hence, there’s no need to call me so politely.”

Jill said that with a slightly wry smile. dY0yH

While seemingly thinking about something amusing, the chief introduced himself, and then said he could give him a tour around the village.

Jill decided to accept that invitation and followed suit after him.

“You and Lilius are close?”

“……If I had to say it, then his relationship with me is not that intimate. My sons have taken a liking to him, and because he cares for them, Lilius also gets along well with me.” BXlCpN

“Is that so?”

To the chief, he tried to speak of their relationship with as objective an eye as possible, but in fact, he had a moment of hesitation when he spoke out the words of denial.

Lilius was a softhearted person, hence Jill wasn’t hated by him. But if someone were to ask Lilius if they were close, then the answer would probably be a no.

Although Jill had no right to have complaints about what he had himself chosen, he still felt extremely hesitant to say it. Yped9V

Because if it were put into words, he would have to realize that Lilius and himself were essentially two distant strangers.

“Lilius, you see, was picked up by my son while he was out patrolling. Inside the deep forest sitting right beside this village, that is.”

“……If it’s alright, could you tell me more? I had thought that he came here of his own accord.”

“It shouldn’t be his own intention. To begin with, when we took him under our care, that guy was in a terrible state.” IyUrXo

An uneasy premonition crept up Jill’s body.

His spine spontaneously straightened, a tell-tale sign of his tension.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“It’s a serious crime in this country, but in other places it’s different, no? We don’t know if it was a slave trader or a bandit or what, but it was those kinds of guys that brought Lilius here. Well, because Lilius’s magic reserves are stupidly big, the subjugation collar doesn’t work well on him. Because of that, to silence Lilius, those guys’ only option was to get him addicted to medicine. At the time Lilius was in our care, he would rather die than live — he was in that terrible of a state.”

With a twitch, Jill’s throat was stiff. XkrbWF

It seemed that Jill’s most unwanted guess hit the nail right on the head and became reality.

Even if he didn’t listen further, it was clear. Before that, Lilius must have had a gruesome past.

Jill’s fists clenched tightly. As if enduring something, they turned white, and trembled in agitation.
