Chapter 118: Chapter 15. The incident at the palace

One day I did agree to a voluntary walk around the palace. It so happened that Camille, freed from her duties, offered to keep her company and let her go out for a while.

Rachel had let her go for the day, since she would be busy in the meeting hall and would not need the secretary's help. I was surprised at the generosity of this ride: for once, the girl had deigned to give her most able-bodied employee a day off.

Moreover, despite the fact that it was her first day off in a long time, Camille chose to spend it with me. This decision was unexpected for me, but very touching nonetheless.

Perhaps she chose not to go to her family because it was too far away. Also, like me, the girl had no more acquaintances in the palace. Thus we set out in each other's company.
