Chapter 30.2
When Cassel shook his head as if he had already experienced it, Leilia smiled as she walked towards his subordinates in his embrace. The subordinates in the garden seemed to buzz as if they had heard the conversation between Cassel, Leilia and a newspaper reporter.
“Calia, are you satisfied?”
At Cassel’s words, Calia bowed her head.
“It really felt refreshing!”
“No one will ever look down on your achievements from now on.”
Leilia gazed at Calia as she listened to the two of them.
“Let me introduce you. This is Zen and Calia. Next…”
As Cassel introduced his subordinates, he whispered to her.
“I’m thinking of creating a family of knights.”
As her heart skipped a beat at his words, his words went on, “If they offer me the existing imperial knights, I plan to refuse.”
She listened quietly to his serious thoughts.
“Tell me more about it later.”
Her husband was opening up to her and telling her things that were on his mind one by one. It made her feel good that he seemed to regard her as his true wife.
“All right.”
Cassel kissed her cheek and then looked at his subordinates.
“We’ll be staying together at the mansion, so please take care of us.”
When Leilia slightly lowered her head and spoke, the subordinates also quickly followed suit.
“We’re the ones who should say please take care of us.”
The subordinates welcomed her warmly. They knew that she had diligently sent letters and even gifted a necklace to Cassel on the battlefield. Even though the Eloisa family didn’t provide support, Leilia still tried to fulfill her duties as a wife. That was how the subordinates perceived it.
“We’re going to have a party.”
“Do you have meat prepared?”
Calia asked.
“I’ve prepared enough.”
After saying that, Cassel gathered his men and went down to the basement. In the basement, the chef had already prepared food with great care.
“I’ve been waiting for today!”
Saying so, Zen took out the bottle that Lucis had given him earlier. Not only him, but others also seemed to have saved the alcohol they had received back then and began to take it out as if they were about to enjoy it now. Those who had finished their bottles looked at them with envy.
“Alcohol is prepared.”
Meanwhile, Leilia was a little surprised to see the wine they had. She didn’t expect them to still have it.
“But it’s still not as delicious as this wine!”
Everyone agreed with Calia’s words.
“Alcohol.”
Cassel mumbled quietly before he sat down with Leilia and ate with his subordinates. It seems that there was also fish on the dining table.
He smiled at the sight.
“It reminds me of graduation day.”
Leilia smiled awkwardly at his words. It was because even though it was their second meeting, she ended up getting drunk like that.
“What did Cassel think when you saw me then?”
“I thought you were beautiful.”
His candid words made her cheeks warm. It made her feel good that he saw her that way, even though she wasn’t particularly confident about her appearance.
“Would you like to have a drink with the subordinates?”
Leilia nodded at Cassel’s words.
After that, they wandered around, chatting with the subordinates and exchanging drinks. However, since there were quite a lot of subordinates, Leilia quickly got drunk.
Cassel, who noticed this, quietly replaced her glass with a non-alcoholic one.

Leilia’s cheeks flushed as she stared blankly at the ceiling. The ceiling, with its beautiful patterns painted on it, seemed like it could come down to her at any moment.
‘I’m drunk.’
Even though she wasn’t drunk enough to sleep, she could still feel the drowsiness creeping in. In the meanwhile, Cassel wasn’t here because he had said he would show his subordinates to their rooms.
The emptiness crept in without him by her side.
“…This is dangerous.”
It seemed like having him by her side had become familiar. She could tell by how she subconsciously searched for him. Thinking of him, she naturally became concerned about his knights as well. She wouldn’t hesitate to spare any support for them. Leilia smiled and hugged the blanket to her chest before lying down on the bed.
When he would come back, she should quietly tell him.
‘The armor would be commissioned from a top-tier designer, and the swords would be made from the highest quality!’
She was imagining the knights and thinking about how much money she would spend. She didn’t want to handle things half-heartedly.
As she closed her eyes, lost in thought, the sound of the door opening reached her ears.
