CH 66

“Il and older brother are mean! You are no longer Di’s friends!!!!” 

They had entered the dining room to eat breakfast, but the moment they did Dianna thrust her finger at them and shouted. 

Instantly seeing Diana’s cheeks puffed out in her anger, Cain instantly embraced her, rubbed her cheeks again his, smelled the top of her head. 

The circumstances of Diana being hugged resulted in a Cain getting hit in the torso with her palm, “I’m angry at you!” she said protesting like a lady. 

Lately, it seemed that the teacher Cyris had been slowly but surely correcting her wording. 

“I definitely do not want to stop being friends with Dianna. Could you please tell me what has made you so angry?”

“Before breakfast, Il and brother played together outside without me! I saw you two going outside!” 

Diana has seen them going out for their morning running, her thinking they were going out to play together was a misunderstanding. 

Up to this point, Dianna had to be woken up for breakfast and would still be asleep, why she had woken up early this morning he didn’t know, but he saw an opportunity. 

“Well then, how about from tomorrow Dianna joins us in the morning?” 

For a moment Cain didn’t dare say anything. Dianna didn’t agree or deny about the invitation to play. 

If Dianna found out they were just running, then she would probably say “I don’t want to do it after all.” 

Cain thought it was possible for Dianna to get stronger and took this opportunity to rope her into running. 

It would really benefit Dianna’s future if she got used to getting up early, and combined with the Knights training, it would be hard to say she wouldn’t be fit. 

“I will! Di will also play!” 

“Dad” 

As Cain received Dianna’s reply he turned to father Dismiya and spoke to him. 

“Good, good. Parepantle, prepare some workout clothes for Di.” 

“Understood.” 

At the sound of Cain’s voice, Dismiya passed it along to the butler. The butler nodded his head respectfully and spoke to the maidservant next to him. The maidservant who was given the instructions left the room. Things happened quickly. 

Dismiya seemed to think that the sword training was no good but running seemed to be fine. 

Cain walked to the table hand in hand with Diana for a short distance. He picked her up and put her in her chair and sat down next to her to have breakfast.

Cain went out to the royal castle on a horse with Sarasinia but Dismiya was off that day. 

“Bye-Bye Cain!” 

“Bye-Bye Brother!” 

Cain went off glancing resentfully at his father as he waved and looked regrettably at his sister. 

“All right, Dianna. How about you spend the day together with dad! I took a break from work so I can have Di all to myself!” 

“I’m going to play with dad?!” [Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

When Cain disappeared Dismiya happily asked Diana to play with a smile. Dianna at first was very happy but then her face suddenly became troubled. 

“But…today is the day that I study with teacher Ianis.” 

She wanted to go play. But she had to study. When she did her best to study Cain praised her. 

There were times when she did not want to study, but she didn’t really skip classes so she didn’t know how Cain would react to her skipping class. But, after she said she didn’t like to study, Cain was able to come up with ways for her to like it, so she could imagine his reaction wouldn’t be so good. 

“It’s fine. Ilvalino will be studying also, right? So, teacher Ianis’s time would not be wasted, I have also heard that Dianna is brilliant. If you miss one day, it won’t be a problem!” 

“Really?!”

“Really, really.” 

If her father was saying it must be okay. With that thought, Dianna again smiled and said, “Let’s go play!” 

A carriage was stopped at the gate, Dismiya picked up Dianna and put her in the carriage, then after got in himself. 

When the butler closed the door of the carriage Dianna spoke. 

“Where does Dianna want to go?”

“The riverbank!” 

“What…the riverbank?” 

Dismiya was shocked, he was thinking she would want to go to the candy store, the toy store, or the clothing store. 

Does she mean a roof tile? Riverbank? Dismiya was confused. 

“At the riverbank, there are a lot of strong stones! I want to find a strong stone!” 

Dismiya didn’t really understand, but if she was looking for stones the riverbank would undoubtedly be the right place to go. He instructed the coachman to go to the riverbank and the carriage slowly started. 

“Serenosta gave me the strongest stone, but Di wants to find one herself.” 

“I see.” 

“Strong stones should be as strong as possible, but they are no good if they are too big or too heavy to throw.” 

“Is that so?” 

“You can’t win with just stone.  You can only win if you combine nore’s tricks, Wanryoku, and Shuchuryoku together.” 

“Oh. That is quite profound.” 

Dianna explained the secrets of “Ishihajiki” but Dismiya did not understand.

Who was Serenosta? And what was the strongest stone? He was slightly concerned but he enjoyed listening to Dianna explain so he decided not to worry about it.  

They picked up a stone that was in the shape of a ribbon, a stone that looked like a rabbit, as far as Dianna was concerned once she picked up the strongest stone she went back to the carriage, and to change out of her dress with a muddy hem they went to a clothing store. 

“Can you find me dresses that will look good on the child? Oh, if you also have workout clothing, please show us that as well.” 

“Understood.” 

Dismiya had originally asked the butler for workout clothes but since they were already at the clothing store, he thought he would buy it himself. He didn’t know how long the running agreement would last but he figured Dianna would need more than one outfit. 

Naturally, the butler would not forget about the request, so Dianna’s athletic wear would be more than 2 outfits. 

Dianna changed into her new dress, they put the rest of the dresses and the athletic clothing in the carriage, then they headed to a Café that was known for its delicious sweets. 

“Say, Dianna. You can eat whatever your little heart desires.”
