Vol. 4 Chapter 2.11 - My honorable defiance toward confronting the disrespectful illegal inhabitant



Early in the morning, Eurea and I opened our eyes at the same time and sprinted like nobody’s business toward my mother’s room. He had just woken up and was still in his nightgown, his face set as if he had been having a serious conversation with that guy. Though Mother quickly relaxed when he realised we were there.

“Lenoc, Eurea.”

“Mom!”

Eurea ran over and crawled onto Mother’s bed, clinging frantically to his neck and asking, “Are you not hurt anymore?” I was curious about that too, so I quickly crawled onto the bed. Wrapping his arms around both of us, he laughed softly.

“I just need to rest for a few days. Just a little tummy ache, sadly.”

“Don’t say sadly, Mom. You shouldn’t be sick.”

Eurea said what I wanted to say, so I just clung to my mother’s arms, but strangely, he seemed a little disappointed, like he was really sorry. In comparison, the Demon, who was carrying the youngest, looked at peace.

“I see that you haven’t given up yet.”

“I will achieve everything one day.”

At Mother’s firm reply, the demon sighed heavily. Grumbling that he didn’t understand why Mother was so obsessed with six children, that guy told me and Eurea to go wash our faces. We didn’t want to leave, but not wanting to bother our tired mother, we both meekly complied.

As we left the room, I glanced back and saw Mother standing out of bed and hugging the demon from behind.

“Are you sure you don’t want at all?”

“I told you before, I can’t live without you. And you have to think of the children you’ve already delivered. Stop being greedy. There’s no point in taking unnecessary danger.” RêAd lateSt chapters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o/m Only

“......Yeah.”

Mother, who had buried his head in the demon’s back, nodded. Then that guy sighed, turned, and pulled him into a hug. They pressed their lips together.

“I was happy at first. However, it’s not like you’ve lost the children that were already born, so don’t be so sad.”

“I’m sorry I was so angry earlier.”

“It’s okay.”

He wrapped his arms around Mother in a wide embrace. After whispering something inaudible over and over, the demon picked Mother up and laid him back down on the bed. He stroked Mother’s hair as he had done for me, then kissed his forehead and stood up.

“Me too.”

I couldn’t tell what he meant. Instead, he laughed softly at Mother’s words.

“This is Viscount Bendyke’s preferred colour. I think it would suit the young master well, too.”

How did he know he was my biological father? I asked in surprise, “How do you know?” The tailor looked puzzled at first, then smiled.

“He’s an old regular. Your father has been coming to our shop since he first graduated from college. After having you, young master, the Count has started to visit here as well.”

Hugo said that there are some tailors that the successive counts have been doing business with for generations. Since this was the only shop I remembered, and it was the same tailor who always came to the manor, I assumed he was the one Hugo was talking about. Why did Mother change his tailor? And this was the tailor that guy used.

“The count told me that once, when he went to his regular shop, he was berated for his dull-coloured clothes. I don’t know if what he said was true, because the Count doesn’t dress in a dull colour.”

My sophisticated mother was, and still is, the envy of many omegas. But to be berated by his regular tailor because he was dressed in an unflattering way? I didn’t understand. I would have to find out more later.

“How dare they disrespect the Teiwind Count. I will not let them continue.”

“Haha, young master, you’re just the same as your father.”

“And which part of me is like him?”

“Your father has said the same thing. That tailor shop is long gone, but you can ask your father why.”

The demon again. Just because he was older and taller, how dare he do all those things first! Frowning, I handed the cloth he had selected to the clerk and gave him detailed instructions.

After chatting with another clerk, my mother soon called me and Eurea over, specified the fabrics to the tailor, and ordered two suits for me and two dresses for Eurea.

“Did you have a colour in mind?”

“This one.”

“This one for me.”

After seeing our selections, Mother gave his approval. We were delighted to have a total of three new outfits. As expected, the biggest holiday in the Count estate was the week of the Count’s birthday.

After leaving the tailor, who was delighted to receive so many orders at once, we left the shop and went to a nearby shoe store. Again, we ordered two pairs each and then headed straight to the hat shop. I hadn’t reached the age of adulthood yet, so I couldn’t wear a silk hat. Maybe when I got to college, I’d be able to wear one, but for now, I could only imagine it. Using it would make me look taller.

Instead, Eurea ordered two wide-brimmed hats to match the colour of the dress she had just ordered, and Mother looked long and hard at the ones that were a bit big for him, then ordered one.

“I want them delivered to the estate by the beginning of next week.”

“Yes. Of course, Count.”

Having ordered everything he needed in one fell swoop, our mother led us out of the shop and into a carriage that slowly followed, taking us out of the quiet upscale shopping district and into one that was now lined with delicious confectioneries. Upon arrival, we debated which one to go to. Mother laughed and said we could stop at any of them.
