Chapter 343.2. Familiar Smiles
-Masatoshi’s POV-
“I’m aware that you’ve heard about it, but I was under mental manipulation. I sincerely apologize. I hope you can lend me your strength once again.”
As His Majesty the Emperor rose from his , he stood before my father and deeply bowed his head. It was surprising to witness the Emperor lowering his head, something he never did!
“Please raise your head, Your Majesty. Teijou Marquisate has always been Your Majesty’s sword, offering unwavering loyalty. Your orders are all that matter.”
“That’s right, Your Majesty. Aguni Dukedom is also your faithful servant. Please don’t worry. However, could you please explain what happened?”
“Of course. Let me explain. Please, have a seat for now.”
And so, the Emperor explained a shocking revelation.
After a maid placed coffee and cake, bowed, and left the room. The Emperor starts his explanation. Everyone had a puzzled expression.
Only the gray-haired girl, glancing at the cake placed in front of everyone, seemed concerned about whether she should eat it or not.
“To think you were under mental manipulation... I apologize for not being able to prevent it, Your Majesty. This is a lifelong regret for the Teijou Marquisate.”
“Do you know of a way to sense mental manipulation?”
“It seems the method used was quite sophisticated and complex, making detection difficult. We’ll need to think about a solution later.”
“I’ll put it on for you, Masatoshi-san.”
“Thank you, Sena-san. Is this a magic bracelet?”
“Yes! It’s a top-level telepathic communication magic. It allows us to communicate anytime. The precision of telepathic communication is excellent because it accurately detects your location. So, now we can always be in touch, Masatoshi-san.”
Sena-san blushed and looked embarrassed. She loves me that much? Well, don’t be embarrassed; I’m happy.
With excitement, I was about to put on the bracelet, carefully arranged by Sena-san’s soft hands.
“It’s waterproof and highly durable, so it’s quite expensive. I’ll make sure only I can take it off to prevent losing it. Is that okay, Masatoshi-san?”
“Of course, Sena-san.”
Sena-san is so considerate. As she gazed at me with upturned eyes, she playfully tickled my palm with her index finger. Don’t tickle my palm. No, please tickle it more.
“Marchioness Takano, my son hasn’t been under mental manipulation, right?”
“No one has manipulated my head!”
It’s okay; I’m sane. My father is just too worried. Why does he look at me with such skeptical eyes?
“Now, setting aside the heartwarming exchange between the two, let’s discuss the future.”
The Emperor started speaking with a somewhat exasperated tone.
What he revealed was astonishing. Perhaps even more so than Shin’s story.
