Robenhalf’s face turned bright red, speaking fluently.
His eyes met the glowing silver pupils watching him.
“Froze for a moment?”
Blake questioned Robenhalf.
It couldn’t have been that he froze his mouth with his ability, but Robenhalf seemed to lose his words, as if his lips were stuck together.
He did start moving his lips in response to Blake’s question, but.
“Ah, so……. I froze……. After freezing…….”
He just couldn’t come to his senses.
“?”
‘Maybe he won’t tell me anymore? I want to know how he was going to handle Trapet.’
The puzzled mother and daughter were idly looking at Robenhalf when Zed, who found Liche, came running down the alley.
“Lo, Lord~! Miss!”
Blake left the aftermath to Zed and returned to the ducal residence with Liche.
Ten days later.
A letter from Robenhalf arrived for Deon.
To my dear friend, Derkedyon Lodwik.
Is there a big bell tower in the Lodwik territory? It seems to have broken my ears. I hear bells all day, and it’s noisy.
What nonsense. There’s no such thing.
Robenhalf has finally gone mad. Should I introduce him to a doctor?
P.S. But the child that you took with you, is that your young sis[ter]—.
Deon threw the letter into the trash with a sour expression.
(This is a time delimiter.)
“Thanks to Duke Hivetzman’s cooperation, it went well. We interrogated the thawed Serdiya side, and they really kidnapped Trapet for the fur. It doesn’t look like there are any other tricks.”
Blake’s study.
Zed was reporting to Blake about the Trapet kidnapping case that he had handled in the past few days.
Blake, putting the pocket watch he was looking at back into his pocket, asked.
“Serdiya, are they still noisy over the successor issue?”
“Seems so. The eldest son was supposed to manifest, but instead, the second son without descendants manifested as a gifted one.”
Zed made a tired face.
The head of the four ducal families must be a gifted person; it was an unspoken and unbreakable rule.
But occasionally, there were those who defied this rule.
For example, the faction of the current Duchess of Serdiya, who came from a noble family.
Her eldest son, though from a prestigious family, did not manifest as a gifted person.
The manifested one was the 8yearold second son, Ziegbert Serdiya.
From the day Ziegbert became gifted six years ago, the Serdiya ducal family never had a quiet day due to the succession issue.
They could not admit that a child from a poor knight family’s wife could become the head, and that was the reason.
“I’m relieved that our young lord doesn’t have to worry about that. Plus, the adorable Miss Liche is…….”
Ah. Zed stopped speaking and broke into a cold sweat. He wasn’t supposed to bring up Miss Liche yet.
Blake didn’t say anything, but Zed couldn’t bring himself to look to the side.
Even without looking, he could feel that stinging gaze piercing his cheek.
In the end, the numbness in Zed’s feet appealed to Blake.
“I really feel wronged. No matter how engaged I was in conversation with Anna, there’s no way I wouldn’t notice Miss Liche leaving.”
For Zed, it was something truly incomprehensible.
A few days ago, in Trapet’s guest room. Although the attention was on the intruder caught by Anna, he had not neglected the sofa where Liche was sitting.
There’s no way I wouldn’t know a 7yearold child leaving.
It was because Pythons had hidden Liche’s presence.
There was no way Zed would know. So he was simply aggrieved.
“So I’ve been thinking.”
“What thinking?”
“My lord, isn’t Miss Liche a genius?”
Otherwise, how could she slip out of the dressing room?
Zed laid out his words, undeterred by Blake’s expressionless face as if hearing something ridiculous.
“It doesn’t seem like she’s had special education, but she reads well, and she’s praised for learning manners very quickly from a tutor she recently hired.”
“Hmm.”
At some point, Blake was also nodding his head slightly to Zed’s words.
The child is smart.
“In a few years, when Miss Liche enters the Royal Academy, the top spot might be taken.”
“That so.”
The Royal Academy.
Blake’s mouth was slightly twisted at the word.
If Liche were to enter the Royal Academy, where nobles go, she would be 10. By then, he might not be in this position.
As a reminder of that, Blake’s chest ached as if tightly squeezed.
It was a symptom that appeared because of the karma that piled upon him.
Zed, noticing Blake’s symptoms, quietly took out a brown medicine bottle from his bosom and placed it on the desk.
It was a painrelieving medicine.
“You should see her like that too, my lord. So please live long.”
Please don’t use your ability either.
Zed entreated, swallowing the latter words.
Live long. Knowing it was impossible, Blake picked up the medicine bottle and replied to Zed.
“Okay.”
(This is a time divider.)
“Hey.”
The corridor of the Duke’s house of Ludwig.
Daeon frowned as he encountered Liche, who was walking from the opposite side.
It was because Liche covered her mouth and nose with both hands as soon as she saw him.
“What are you doing……?”
“…….”
“What are you doing?”
Despite Daeon’s unsociable tone, Liche silently shook her head.
She then hurried to the wall to make way for Daeon.
“…….”
Why? It strangely made him feel bad.
He didn’t know what this little girl was doing now, but he knew one thing.
‘She’s avoiding me, isn’t she?’
Instead of walking down the empty corridor, Daeon turned his body.
He approached Liche, who was pressed tightly against the wall.
“You, avoiding me?”
Nod, nod.
Liche shook her head.
“Lying. You’re avoiding.”
As Daeon’s face approached, Liche pushed her jaw back, sticking her head tightly to the wall.
She’s avoiding me.
“Why are you avoiding?”
At Daeon’s probing, Liche mumbled from under her hand covering her mouth and nose.
“Sm……ell……”
“Sm?”
“It smells!”
Liche’s eyes welled up with tears of embarrassment.
Daeon narrowed his brow.
“What smell?”

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
