CH 6

After Noah was gone, Popini and I wandered around the Duke House like crazy.

It wasn’t under the trees in the garden Noah frequented, and it wasn’t under the blanket on the bed.

Finally, we stopped at the training hall. Only then did I find a familiar person.

A haphazardly messed up storage of wooden swords.

Mack trying to pick up a wooden sword.

Finally…….

“Noah!”

Noah is defenseless in front of such a Mac.

I hurried to Noah’s side, moving my heavy legs in a threatening situation.

The moment when the wooden sword was held in Mack’s hand.

“Noah.”

I hugged Noah as hard as I could. Then a familiar body temperature came to my arms.

Ah, I’m glad I did.

I’m glad I was able to come here just before I got hurt.

“You’re surprised it’s gone so suddenly…”

I stroked Noah’s head and checked on his condition.

Thankfully, Noah didn’t have any small wounds.

Popini, who had been following beside him, breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

I took Noah back into my arms with a rush of relief. Then I heard the faint sound of Noah’s heart in my ears.

“…… My sister.”

At that moment, Noah clung to me with his characteristic cheerful smile.

“Sister! Older sister! Here’s Mack apologizing to me for being stupid!”

“Huh…?”

Mac?

I looked at Mack again, wondering if I could not, and he smiled awkwardly, hiding the wooden sword he was holding.

It’s like a threatened person forcibly pulling up the corners of his mouth…….

“Really?”

I looked at Mack in disbelief and asked him to confirm.

Mack didn’t answer, just nodded his head eagerly.

Wasn’t my hunch that I had already apologized for such a short period of time and thought it was just a child’s battle was wrong?

Strange. That’s not to say that it’s clear…….

Feeling a twinge, I just looked at Mack intently, and Noah tapped me on the shoulder, drawing my attention.

“Sister, I’m hungry.”

Oh, and by the way, it’s already snack time.

“…… Ok. Let’s all go have a snack together.”

“Oh my, that’s great.”

As if to clear up the chaos, Popini snatched the wooden sword from Mack and put it back in its place.

Noah, who had been silently observing, asked me:

“What’s your snack today?”

“Well, well, shall we eat any of our Noah’s favorite pounds of lemon?”

“Wow!”

Noah smiled broadly and hugged me by the nape of my neck.

After all, was I overreacting too much?

“A…….”

I don’t know man. That’s how Noah likes it, I guess!

I put aside my sensitive thoughts and took Noah in my arms and lifted him up.

Such an eventful day was fast approaching.

At the end of the day, Noah slipped into a light sleep with the happiest smile in my arms.

I’m always sick of dreams.

A slender hand that you can’t grasp.

Golden hair waving over his hands.

And I am being tossed by a hand that I can’t grasp.

In his dreams, he always follows his fingertips that he can’t grasp.

He was constantly being tossed around by the approaching past in the name of nightmares, and he couldn’t get out of it. I felt pathetic that I was still stuck in the past, and I felt self-defeated.

-…… Save me!

At that moment, a man passing by heard the cry of a child exhausted by the nightmare.

His eyes contained himself. And it wasn’t long before the landscape changed.

A flower garden with pink roses in full bloom, a large castle in the background.

Many people bow their heads to themselves and the man next to them.

Finally…….

– Father, who is he?

A beautiful woman with scarlet eyes who approached with a gentle tone.

At the sight of the woman, Locus felt as if he had come to reality for a moment, for the first time.

It wasn’t just because she was beautiful. Locus couldn’t help but be drawn to the innocent look in his eyes and the gentle voice.

It was only in an instant that she colored the locus with the name “Noah.”

But the nightmare didn’t stop playing with herself.

An incident from the past that recurred in the dream haunted Locus and made him take up the sword again.

And by the time I reach out my arm with the hand of the person I couldn’t grasp . . .

“Good morning, sir.”

“Did you have a good dream today?”

Handmaidens who wake themselves up.

And Noah always greets them with a smile.

“Uh-huh.”

Whispering lies, on the other hand.

“Good morning.”

Fearing that they will be abandoned by someone again.

But when you leave the room after spending some time washing yourself and changing your pajamas…

“Noah, did you sleep well?”

Finally, I get out of my nightmare.

Noah erased his false smile and smiled broadly with a happy face.

“Good morning, sister!”

In those moments, Noah is always determined.

Let’s cherish this new opportunity, and we won’t live the same life as in the past.

In order to do that, he has to remain Rosent’s favorite cute self, her little brother.

For the time being, of course……. For the time being.

The day after Mac’s passing, I made up my mind.

“I need to be sure of Noah’s identity.”

“Ugh!”

And when the Duke heard the resolution, he coughed in the middle of his breakfast, as if he had heard a small gasp.

But I didn’t care, and I expressed my opinion to him.

We shouldn’t have easily said that Noah was the child who was taken from the nursery in the first place.

I forgot.

This is an empire with a strict caste system.

It’s a place where the public eye is more intense than any other place.

More than anything else, how much Locus was tormented in this original story.

“No matter what you say, Noah is my brother.”

No matter how much Noah is from Goa, there’s no reason why he can’t be my brother.

And, of course, there’s no reason to point the finger at an orphan.

We need to make sure that Noah is now a member of Agrinda .

It’s like such a status system.

The best way to do it is to be resentful, but… It’s about elevating Noah’s personal safety.

But Noah was already an orphan, and those who usually keep an eye on the Agrinda family would have already noticed.

Then…….

Noah needs to be confirmed that he’s not an ordinary adoptive son, but an adopted son who has won the family’s favor.

In addition, Noah was the best demon swordsman in the original game, and his abilities were enough to crush everyone.

If you win the favor and show that you are a capable adoptive son, no one will be able to say anything.

So that I can’t even say anything after that, exactly.

“Do you have any thoughts?”

“Huh?”

Father picked up the spoon and turned his gaze to me. Noah’s gaze following from his side was a bonus.

I smiled at them quietly.

“It’s not like I don’t have any thoughts.”

I only care for Noah’s life.

Wouldn’t you have planned that much?

It will take some time for people to know about Noah’s abilities, but… “Winning favor” is something that’s easier to say than anyone else.

The richest family in the Manon Empire is the Duke of Agrinda, where I live.

In other words, all the businesses that rise up in the Empire belong to the Agrinda family.

If you’re in such a family, of course …….

“I’m going to do a business item related to Noah.”

When I concluded with a cheerful smile, Father responded quite positively.

“When it comes to announcing Noah, there’s nothing quite like that.”

“That’s what your father thinks, isn’t it?”

“But… The question is what kind of product you’re going to put out.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

I smiled a little and shoved the spoon into my mouth, despite the peacock’s concern for catching up.

The importance of a business varies greatly depending on the main customer base.

If you’re dealing with the nobility, scarcity or appearance.

If you’re dealing with commoners, it’s cost-effective and useful.

The aristocracy should be the main clientele so that the outcome of this plan will benefit.

The main purpose was to elevate Noah’s image to the aristocracy rather than commercial interests.

It’s extravagant, but it’s scarce enough to make you want to buy it, and yet what does it have to do with Noah?

I’ve never seen anything so sweet!]

Okay, let’s use that.

“I’m going to make a special dessert.”

“Dessert?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Noah tilted his head and asked, “What are you doing?” But I kept my mouth shut and focused on the meal in front of me.

If you know the results in advance, the fun will decrease.

You can look forward to it.

I have knowledge from my previous life that I learned before I was possessed.

T/N: You guys are maybe wondering why I didn’t post any update for two months. Well, there are two reasons behind it. First one is people are stealing my translations and uploading it without credit. and the fact is they already have so many readers, still they are stealing from a newbie like me. I was hurt, so I stopped translating. Please stop stealing.

Second reason is, I had entrance exams. After some long exams, breakdowns, depression, crying I finally got into some of the reputable universities of my country. Of all of them, I chose a Famous Engineering university and EEE as a major. So yeah, I need your wishes to survive that. I thought to let you all know, as I consider you all my family. Sorry for making you all wait so long.
