After discussing official matters, Philippe did not leave immediately but chose to chat with Yuri about some trivial family affairs, seemingly wanting to ease the tense atmosphere.
At this point, it was Reiger's turn to find himself unable to join the conversation, only able to sit on the side and watch Yuri and Philippe talk sporadically.
However, the so-called trivial family affairs that Philippe and Yuri were discussing were either about the actions of certain noble families or internal affairs of the kingdom. To outsiders, it might have seemed very grand, as if the two people in front of them were indeed significant figures, but Reiger could tell that Yuri was not very interested in these types of topics.
Or rather, when Yuri talked about such matters, it did not seem like idle chat but more like discussing matters of state, without a hint of relaxation or pleasure.
"Could it be that the girl likes chatting with me precisely because of this?"
