Yuri tilted her head in confusion at my words.

    “Swen, you’re saying you’ll go?”

    “Yes.”@@@@

    “Why? I mean, I don’t mind, but... do you have a reason?”

    A reason.

    I couldn’t exactly say, Because something in my head is screaming for me to intervene, and I’m too curious about what’s going on to ignore it.

    Just as I was trying to come up with a suitable response—

    An unexpected person came to my aid.

    But—I had never once told him about what I’d done.

    In other words, he was just throwing out a convenient excuse to support me.

    Even if it was just a hasty cover, the fact that he held the position of National Strategist and had the Imperial Chancellor title in his past made his words sound extremely convincing.

    “Hmm... If Jinor says so, then fine. Lutz, Swen will handle this instead, so just focus on completing your assigned task. That’s fine with you, right?”

    “...There’s no need to ask. I’ll follow orders.”

    Lutz answered, though he looked slightly disappointed.

    Was he upset that he missed an opportunity to make a name for himself?

    His gaze wasn’t exactly warm, but I let it slide.
