Miss Aleister looked at Prince Xiyaldo with interest.
"Quite peculiar."
With a smile, she began to speak: "If I remember correctly... wasn't your mother, Queen Consort Louise, a Son of the Moon?"
At this remark from Miss Aleister, Prince Xiyaldo fell silent for a moment.
The Astrologer Fenrir subconsciously turned to look at the Prince's expression—even so, the Prince did not become angry.
His fists that were placed on the table were not clenched, but instead, he fumbled to slowly raise the cup of red tea that had just been served by a maidservant. Yet, he gazed at the tea in the cup for a long while, though he had already lifted it to his lips, he then slowly put it down again.
"...That's exactly why."
After a prolonged silence, he said this.
Prince Xiyaldo did not elaborate on his actions, but Miss Aleister understood.
