The thought’s high likelihood made Rai shake his head. Bijonne always respected Rant’s choices, even accepting a slave if he brought one home.

Most nobles got engaged around their coming-of-age and married before twenty. Rant, despite inheriting a title, had neither fiancée nor wife—rare in noble society. Neither Gabriel nor Bijonne, who’d move mountains for her brother, pressured him. To Rai, it was puzzling, but to Bijonne, who wanted Rant’s happiness, it was natural.

She cursed the world, coughing up blood.
