Seeing Leon's no hesitation agreement, I said as I stood up, "Then, that's settled."
Well... Settled for now, at least. I still hope Leon changes his mind.
But I guess he really won't. Judging from his stubborn character, he definitely won't.
Haa. I sighed inwardly.
"You should go for now, Leon. A room has been prepared for you in this estate, right?" I looked down at the still sitting Leon and told him so.
Before Leon and I went out back then, back before that ambush incident, Leon had always slept with me in my bedroom, in this room. But after the attack, during Leon's stay in the estate nearest to the border where we were ambushed, I asked the head butler to prepare a separate for him.
