Maia heard the man walk in from the empty doorway.
The cold, wet wind on a rainy night arouses unconscious shivers.
"Hello, Citizen Maia, the Seventh Notary Office of the Capital of Triance Empire."
--
"As the current head of the Clanton family, I hereby entrust Mr. Justus to be the next head of the Clanton family and the guardian of Maia. This is hereby notarized. Lina Clanton on May 9, 1543 in the Calendar of the Calendar."
Even with the substantial gaze above her head, Maia had to confirm——
"Before signing, given that there is more than one recipient of this will, may I ask who the other recipient, Mr. Justus, is?"
Maia carefully pointed to another signature that had been left on the will. The words Justus were written particularly sharply and gracefully, and they penetrated the back of the paper.
According to Article 35 of the Third Code of the Trionce Empire, guardians should perform guardianship duties in accordance with the principle that is most beneficial to the ward.
"..."
"I am Justus."
So Maiya heard the law enforcer in front of her, whose expression was so cold that the air around him seemed to condense, say this.

A side story to the official history of the empire between an indifferent law enforcement machine and his soft and bright ward.
