Chapter 7.1

“Are you angry?” -Lily.

“No, I’m not!”

“Huh, okay.”

Well, I have nothing to say.

Ar’s coy eyes turned to me. [Devoir’s nickname]

He grabbed my wrist and led me somewhere.

I asked as I walked along with him.

“Where are you going?”

“Let’s go to the lake.”

“Yeah.”

I guess I’ll play there again. The weather was nice today too.

It was the perfect warm temperature to play in the garden.

By the way, doesn’t he have class today?

Is he deliberately pretending to play with me to skip class?

With reasonable suspicion, I looked at Devoir.

Then Debouard’s cheeks turned red.

Because of his fair skin, he had a pretty good blush on his cheeks.

Debuard asked me, stuttering for some reason.

“Why, why are you looking at me?”

“Just.”

“Just?”

“Because you’re cute.”

I  answered bluntly.

Well, it was true that he was cute.

Ar is rubbing his face with his hands for no reason.

For some reason, his cheeks were burning hot.

Going out to the lake garden didn’t mean anything special. [but ml thought it’s like a date]

Usually, Devoir ran frantically across a wide area as if boasting of his physical strength.

Then I used to sat down on the seat laid out by the maids and nodded like a sick chicken, and fell asleep.

Because I am weak, no one said anything about me acting like this.

Rather, I was worried that the stabilizer of the young master, which is me and was weak, would disappear.

[Lily saying she don’t care about maids but herself, and due to babysitting Devoir, who is energetic, she really gets exhausted and jokingly said she would disappear if things go on like that]

It was the same today.

The only difference was that today Devoir was not running wild alone, but sitting still beside me.

“Huam.”

A yawn flowed out. I was the only one who couldn’t sleep properly.

As I was complaining, but Devoir stuck out something towards me.

I wondered what he was wriggling by himself, and he seemed to have been foolish to make this.

It was a flower bracelet that was crushed to the fullest and had already lost its shape.

“Look at this, isn’t it pretty?”

“Yeah, it’s pretty.”

“Do you like it?”

The doe-eyes fluttered slightly.

Anyway, he is sharp. Even if my reaction was a little cold, he made a face like that.

I laughed out loud as if to comfort him.

Yes, it was necessary to give this much effort to get a free meal.

I clapped my hand hard.

“Oh gosh, it’s so pretty!”

“Really?”

“Yeah, very pretty!!”

Devoir’s lips curled as I smiled.

He pretended not to smile.

‘My eyes cannot deceive.’

It was obvious that secretly he had a proud expression on his face.

I heard that Devoir is being taught how to control facial expressions these days and it seems influenced by teaching.

Why are you receiving such training in the first place?

I couldn’t understand. It was rather a pity. [Devoir is still a child, but he has to control expressions from this age so sad.]

As I looked at him with a sad expression on my face, Devoir put a flower bracelet on my wrist.

His face was full of joy.

However, looking down at the bracelet, my expression became sour.

‘This won’t last a day.’

My hand is itching too much. But I’ll have to do it until I go to bed because Ar put a lot of effort into it.

Thinking like that, it was time to take a nap.

But I heard someone’s footsteps from behind.

As I turned my head to the particular location, a man caught my eye.

The man dressed in military clothes was noticeably taller.

The man wore a navy blue robe and ankle-high boots.

The man’s golden hair gleamed in the sun.

However, there was no emotion in the clear turquoise eyes.

The thick-lined eyebrows and tightly closed lips were as if evaluating us. [judging lily and Devoir]

As soon as I saw him, I knew who he was.

He was Agnos, the head of the Ardellos family.

It was indeed a long time since I saw him.

He looked exhausted from all the hard work he had been through.

Questions lingered in the indifferent eyes.

It was apparent that he didn’t remember me.

[lol how can you expect, he recognized his own son because of the same hair color and eyes]

His eyes, which did not even tremble, were completely indifferent.

‘Isn’t that how I will get kicked out?’

It wasn’t impossible.

The last time I saw him was five years ago.

There’s no way he would remember the baby he picked up in the snowy fields.

‘Well, I’m glad.’

After thinking for a while, I called him awkwardly.

I was doing this just to make sure Agnos knew he had brought me here.

“Mister?”

But he did not answer.

The eyes that looked at me still showed no emotion.

His beautiful eyes looked empty.

The eyes with a hint of emptiness somewhere were exhausted.

Who the hell made it hard for the lord of Ardellos? [Your original trash dad/can]

I heard that the subjugation battle was quite long. Maybe that’s why?

Thinking that far, I thought of a plausible hypothesis.

“Don’t tell me it’s because of Deldea clan.”

There was a possibility and a high probability for that.

Deldea clan is the biggest problem in this world right now.

‘What will happen if they find out that I am from Deldea clan?’

I was suddenly disturbed and tried to finish my greetings in moderation.

It was best not to stand out in front of the Ardellos’s head.

“Long time no see.”

Come on now. Pass me by with that indifferent expression.

I tried to turn my head.

However, his tightly lipped mouth slowly opened.

In the meantime, an admiring voice burst out.

“Ahem, so cute—————-“

He stood there and said so with a soft look.

He quickly shut his mouth in astonishment when he realized what he had spoken.

Sadly, everyone in the garden had listened to him.
