Camille clenched his fists and gritted his back teeth as he replied with a smile that sounded as if he was remembering the deceased.

Alice had chosen Camille as the only person she really wanted to talk to about Carol, but the way she spoke to him, with no sense of distance, as if she were stepping into his shoes, made Camille feel a dark sensation, as if his insides were becoming heavy.

“…Phew”

“Good evening, Camille-sama.”

Nicholas chuckled as he offered Camille a glass of water flavored with citrus fruits.
