When they reached back to the castle, Theo absentmindedly went inside while thinking.
He did not greet any of the guards and knights passing by, which made them think something was wrong.
"How has your day been, young master Theo?" a guard asked after seeing Theo walk by.It seemed as if his mood brightened after looking at Theo.
"Hm, it's good," Theo spoke with his head straight in a dazed manner, and he walked past, making the guard surprised.
He kept standing there with his mouth hanging open while Theo went past everyone.
Elias only sighed, looking at Theo's state. All this time, he had only thought that Theo was enthusiastic at all times.
But he only thought that because he didn't look at Theo at the time of the ceremony to get affinity.
Theo went to his room and lay down with a sigh. The mantis looked at the ores on the ground, and after taking a small piece out with its mouth, it went hopping toward Theo and sat beside him while munching the ore.
