Chapter 42

In fact, I knew why Seth and Arban were allowed to go out first.

The two had the strength to protect themselves, and they would be very safe with guards to strengthen their protection.

Of course, I have to understand it, but.

“Me too!”

“Hm?”

“I want to go out like my Brothers.”

I wiggled my fingers and muttered.

At the same time, I was nervous about whether I would be scolded for whining, so I secretly looked into his eyes. However, as if my worries were nothing, Cade’s lips rose slightly.

“Do you want to go out?”

“Yes.”

“How much?”

“As much as the sky is high!”

I thought I’d miss the opportunity if it wasn’t right now, so I stretched out my arms wide.

This much! A lot!

As I expressed my strong opinion, I heard Arban laughing at me. Seth openly judged my actions, and Orka had his mouth covered and bowed his head.

“I want to go out too, Daddy!”

I shouted out loud and my loud voice echoed in the hallway.

Cade, who looked at me with crossed arms, tilted his head at an angle and muttered with a face that seemed to be in trouble.

“What should I do?”

“If she wants it that much, how about letting her out at least once?”

“She’s too young for that.”

“That’s true, but…”

“I can’t help it.”

Cade who was sharing his opinion with Orka, raised his voice as if to let people listen. The way he raised his voice with a teasing tone somehow seemed to show he was enjoying the current situation.

As I was listening to the conversation, I got impatient and quickly shook my head.

“No!”

“No?”

“Yes. I’m this big.”

It was a groundless claim, but I spit it out to somehow get a wedge in. A child grows day by day, so I too must have been a little bigger.

Cade laughed with a muffled voice at my desperate words. I was afraid that the opportunity would be lost like this, so I hugged Cade’s leg.

“I won’t let go until Daddy gives me permission.”

“Hmm. That’s difficult.”

Even when he said that, there was no sign of trouble in his voice.

As if he had been waiting for this moment, it was hard to think that his lips, which had pleasantly risen, would come down.

Cade picked me up and walked into the dining room.

Seeing as the sun was setting outside the window, it must have been a while since I arrived at the door.

“If you want to go out this bad, I can’t say no.”

“Are you going to let me go out?”

“Instead, why don’t we agree on a condition?”

“Condition?”

Whatever it was, I was confident that I would do my best. When I asked back with enthusiasm, Cade made a serious face.

“I heard you are going to take pheromone lessons from Kasana, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

“I promise to take you outside when you can freely transform into your beast form and humanize.”

It was a time-consuming proposal, but it wasn’t bad. I quickly nodded my head, saying that I would do it so as not to miss the opportunity.

“Then, shall we all go on a family trip together?”

“A family trip?”

Seth, who was following us, asked with surprised eyes. It seemed to be the case with Arban as well. They didn’t seem to expect that Cade would ever make such a suggestion.

“Yes. You don’t like it?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Well… If that kid succeeds.”

The two answered with a look of dislike, but it seemed like both wanted to go.

This added one more reason to succeed.

“I’ll make sure we go on a family trip. Wait for it, Seth, Arban.”

“What are you talking about? Who is looking forward to going on a family trip?!”

I smiled with a knowing face while he pretended he was not. I saw it earlier. Arban’s eyes twinkled with joy at Cade’s words, and while Seth was nonchalant, it looked like he was paying attention.

“I want to go on a trip with everyone”.

“Then you just need to succeed, right?”

“Will you two help me?”

I gently threw the bait.

“Well, I’m helping you because you said you wanted to go. It’s absolutely not because I want to go, so don’t get me wrong!”

Arban took the bait nicely. Seth, who was walking at the same pace, walked into the dining room first, as if he didn’t need to listen any more.

Upon entering, an appetizing scent pierced my nose.

Chef Baharn, who was waiting for us to come in, approached with a warm smile.

“Welcome, my Lord. Young Masters, Young Lady.”

“Bahaln!”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Miss Irene. It’s an honor to have you remember my name. Would you like to take a seat?”

“Yes!”

At my words, Cade leaned over and dropped me off. I came down to the floor and walked to the place where Baharn was leading me.

“The Lady’s seat is here.”

My seat was right next to Cade’s left.

“Wow. It’s shiny.”

The table was beautifully decorated. Lilac flowers were brightly adorned in vases placed at regular intervals. A long golden candlestick was covered with a crystal holder, and inside a candle was shining softly.

In front, sliced ​​bread was placed in a small basket, and various other plates such as salads, fruits, stews, and steaks were prepared.

And lastly…….

“Huh? The chair has changed!”

A high chair made of wood.

I guess I don’t have to sit on Cade’s lap to eat this time.

While I was sneaking around and showing interest, Cade, who was looking at the high chair, quietly called out to Baharn.

“Baharn.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Cade’s lips went up very high.

“You are still preparing useless things.”

“…Did I make any mistakes? If you tell me, I’ll change it.”

“You can’t change it.”

“……?”

“Irene has already begun to take an interest in it, and she seems to like it very much. Seems like it was worth the long transportation time it took. Don’t you think so?”

“……”

“And Irene will be able to eat by herself, very comfortably.”

As Cade continued to speak, Baharn’s complexion grew bluish.

The red eyes that were looking around the inside of the restaurant came to me. I smiled broadly as I put my legs on the footrests to get up on the chair.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“……”

“Huh?”

The chairs were equipped with footrests for easy sitting. Thanks to this, I was able to climb up and sit down very easily.

Cade and Baharn were watching me from beginning to end.

The two had very different vibes.

Baharn felt like it was already too late and he was faced with an irreversible situation, and Cade was like…

It was something similar to ‘How do I get rid of that’.

……What is it?

“I… Miss Irene.”

“Huh?”

“Do you like the chair?”

“Yes.”

At my immediate answer, Baharn’s complexion darkened even more. I said I liked the present he prepared for me, but why is his expression dark?

I fiddled with the armrests to see if I had made a mistake, but no matter how much I think about it, there is no such thing.

“Isn’t the seat uncomfortable or perhaps do you have any inconveniences?”

“Hmm…. No! I like this.”

“…If there is anything that makes you uncomfortable, even the smallest thing, please tell me right away.”

Even the smallest uncomfortable thing?

When I checked again, there was no such thing. The chair was very soft, as if it was custom made, the height was just right, so it was perfect for eating.

“It’s very good. Thank you for taking care of me Bahaln.”

I picked up the bread with tongs and laid it out on my plate.

Somehow, it felt like the temperature in the restaurant had dropped even more. Cade smiled as he sat down in the seat at the head of the table.

“How could she not like it? You brought it from the end of the continent. You must be very happy, Baharn.”

Cade elegantly raised the knife, emphasizing the words ‘end of the continent’.

I tilted my head while drinking water. It was because I was starting to notice something at this point.

Cade didn’t seem to like it when I was able to sit in a chair and eat by myself.

Does he want to feed me food?

But that would be inconvenient for Cade, and for some reason, Baharn, who was standing in the corner, looked very pitiful. What should I do?

“Daddy.”

“Hm?”

“Ah-.”

I spread the jam on the bread and handed it to Cade. He stared at the bread with a surprised expression.

“Huk.”

Baharn took a deep breath and covered his mouth. He wasn’t the only one surprised.

Seth, who was drinking water, coughed a little, and Arban, who was watching the situation with his hand holding his chin, slowly raised his head with a startled face.

Those were the eyes of people who witnessed a bizarre behavior that was never heard of. In the atmosphere where everyone held their breath, Cade laughed.

“Who else taught you this?”

“Daddy gave me food like this before. I’ll do the same.”
