Climb was certain.
Those tears were not lies. That girl called Renner was selfless and kind. He, whose life was saved by her, knew this for a fact.
But his words did not reach the prince. He showed a bitter smile and walked away from Climb, with Marquis Raeven following behind him.
Climb muttered in the empty hallway.
“Renner-sama is the most benevolent person in the world. My existence is proof. If…”
He swallowed those last words. Even so, they continued in his heart.
If Renner-sama ruled the Kingdom, it would become a great nation that stood by its people.
Of course, considering the line of succession, it was an impossible wish.

Lower Fire Month (9th Month), Day 3, 8:11
At last, Climb arrived in front of the room in the palace that he frequented the most often.

Not knocking was absurd, but this was what his master wished for. She refused to listen no matter how much Climb opposed it.
In the end, Climb was the one who relented. It couldn’t be helped that a girl’s tears put him at a disadvantage. Although with that said, he managed to establish a few conditions. No matter what she said, he could not enter without knocking in the presence of the King.
It was also true that entering without knocking was a source of great stress for Climb. Needless to say, every time he opened the door, Climb felt that there was no way that something like this would be permitted.
As he was about to fling the door open, his hands stopped at the sound of a heated discussion that was flowing through the small crack.
He heard two voices, both female.
The reason he stopped was because one of the voices sounded so absorbed in the discussion that it failed to notice Climb’s presence, albeit he was outside of the room. He did not want to throw cold water over their enthusiasm. Climb stood still and focused his ears on the voices in the room. Although he felt guilty about eavesdropping, he would feel even more guilty if he interrupted such a heated talk.
“—say it before? Humans only focus on the profits that are in front of them.”
