Sarah wiped Claude's face with a soft hand, whose eyes were swollen from crying. The child cried so hard that even his hair got wet. That was how she was going to go back to Alton after eating breakfast continued until lunch and then dinner. * * * "Please, My Lord, please, My Lord, please......" Jade stamped his feet, looking over the barrier with an anxious face. Ethan Ambrosia, who went over the barrier last night, was not seen until the next evening. Jade was waiting for Ethan in front of the barrier where he had disappeared. "Please come back, My Lord." Once or twice, he made excuses to the Third Prince and the Second Prince who visited Ethan, saying, 'He’s on a walk, he’s on a patrol.' When the Duke of Ambrosia did not show up all day, it seemed that the leaders had already noticed that something was going wrong. 'If the Duke of Ambrosia doesn't show up by tomorrow morning, it's good to consider what His Majesty the Emperor might think.'
'Even the magician doesn't show up. We know we're unreliable, but we're here for the Imperial cause. If you act alone, you can think of it as giving your tail to the other side.' The Second Prince Ilior and the Third Prince Eleon had already said a word to Jade and left. Ilior warned that the Emperor was watching the situation here, and Eleon informed him that the Emperor was ready to exploit Ambrosia's weakness with any excuse. "But I can't say 'Our Duke-nim has gone through the barrier with the exceptional power of Ambrosia to patrol beyond!'"
Jade eventually collapsed into his seat, tearing his hair out. Of course, the reason he was so distressed was not purely because of his worries. The worry that Ethan would have been injured or in big trouble in the Alton Estate beyond that barrier was the most useless worry in the world. The only thing Jade was worried about was himself. "I'm sure he must be doing something there. Organize it, refine it, process it, make it plausible and document it...... It's all for me!" The delay in Ethan Ambrosia's return meant that he had a lot of work out there. All tasks necessary for post-processing and commercialization were the responsibility of Jade, the closest subordinate of the Duke of Ambrosia. Unfortunately, it was because he was very capable. Worried about the amount of work that would increase as much as the waiting time, Jade had to swallow his tears.
