After several days, Priestess Emprest asked Lord Ardy a question "Long ago, a premiers had a child and he was took care of by a lady since he was seven years old. She loved him deeply when she took care of him. On the other hand, he had a girl friend. She was princess of next state and friendly with him. He was friendly with her more and more, a lady who was took care of him was lovesick. She thought I love him. But he has a girl friend whether she was a love." What do you think? "
He answered "It was easy. Since she didn't know his heart, he confess her his love was innocent. But if she can recognize he loved a princess, - expect she had a title which is equal to a title of princess - she ought not to confess. It would cause confusion of society order and of the premier family."
Priestess Emprest said with disappointed face "As I expected, you think so, too." "Yes," he said "if she confessed, she couldn't tell him and take care of him." She asked him "Why do you think? " He answered "Please think about her position. The princess was friends him on equal footing. But she was important friends for him and his mother, I thought. Do you think about that what he think if his mother told him that he loved her on equal footing."
Emprest was puzzled, but she said "Perhaps …he will be puzzled for it. If …he is innocent boy, …he will suffer more and more…." He said "Yes, her love would be very hard." She heard his answer silently, but she said "But … if she loved him truly, … and if she was ready for all of suffering, …I thought, … she could love him." When she end her speaking, She bowed to him and left his room. He looked at her with a sigh.
