2 – Became a friend of the High
pounding. pounding.
Edgar’s heart beat wildly.
At least, it was safe to say that there was no person who could represent the current situation, unless he could explain himself because he was at an age where his oral structure was developed.
‘What do we do.’
Of course, since it happened between children who could only babble, Helen could have been lenient.
However, it is an assumption anyway.
Once an accident had occurred, he could not let go of his tension unless he was certain of what would happen next.
‘My heart will explode if I do this.’
Aside from the mind, the body is that of a two-year-old child.
The heart of a child who couldn’t even walk, let alone secondary sexual characteristics, was beating so violently that it was almost terrifying.
Meanwhile, hearing Ariel’s cry, Helene approached and asked the two maids who were standing next to her. What happened?
Rune, Catria’s exclusive handmaid, couldn’t bear to answer and was busy only hesitantly watching.
In this situation, if she had to tell her what she saw, it would have been something that might have upset her in favor of Edgar.
Did you read this air?
Helene’s exclusive lady-in-waiting, Sheppy, smiled softly and opened her mouth as if it was not a big deal.
“It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry. lady. It’s just a mistake Prince Edgar made while trying to help the young lady.”
“You said you helped?”
How much does a two-year-old child help a friend of the same age?
A soft smile appeared on Sheppy’s lips as Helene asked her intentions with her eyes wide open.
“Prince Edgar gave the lady a pendant as a gift, but the lady tried to bite it. But Confucius urgently took it away and blocked it.”
“… Are you a two-year-old? ”
“Yes that’s right.”
I can’t believe it, but it’s true.
Helene stared into Sheppy’s eyes to confirm the truth, but there was no wavering at all.
Besides her husband, she was also the best friend she had spent the longest time with, so Helene was able to quickly recognize the truth.
“It is a strange thing. Even though she is only two years old, did she have an instinct to protect my daughter?”
Helene half-bent and calmly met Edgar’s eyes.
A horse is two years old, but if you calculate it based on the time it was born, it is a baby that can’t even fill two years.
Still, how could he do such a thing?
Even though the person I met for the first time today came right in front of me and stared at me, this child was looking straight at me without a sign of trembling or fear.
On the other hand, Katria could only watch this scene from behind with a nervous heart.
The good news is that my son didn’t do anything wrong.
Still, for whatever reason, he couldn’t help but feel the aftertaste of making the only daughter of the grand duke cry.
“Catria.”
“Yes, madam.”
As I calmed down my trembling voice as much as I could and replied, Helene’s behind-the-scenes words continued.
“Has Prince Edgar decided on his career path?”
Course? what career path?

Katria’s eyes widened.
He is only a two-year-old child. Of course, since he is the eldest son, he will have to inherit the family later, but he has not drawn a precise career path right away.
“Because I am still a child… I have not discussed anything with my husband.”
“is that so.”
Hearing those words, Helene was lost in thought.
Everyone knows that the Billhark family has served the Loveheim family for a long time.
If three, five, or ten years pass like this, a boy named Edgar will become Ariel’s servant or servant. Because that was the history of the family.
‘Is that the right thing to do?’
Helene knew.
The fact that he is a body that can no longer give birth to children.
That you can’t escape this fate handed down from generation to generation.
And the one and only daughter, Ai, will inevitably be appointed as the next family head of the iron-blooded family that rules this northern region, and it will be difficult to make friends who will share her heart in it.
There are only acquaintances from other families of the same age who exchange benefits under the name of friends.
Some might say so.
That is the mission of a person who inherits the grand duke’s blood.
If only he brought his husband right away, he would have spoken to her in a similar way.
However, this was not the future she hoped for as a mother.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay for at least one person?’
The existence of friends is another realm of human relationships that cannot be replaced by family, trustees, or lovers.
If you are a friend, you can talk about things you cannot tell your family, and if you are a friend, you can ask for things that you cannot entrust to your henchmen.
Helene hoped that at least her daughter had at least one such presence by her side.
Because it might be the last gift you can give to a child who will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Loveheim family.
“Catria.”
“Yes, madam.”
“I have one request. Could you please listen to me?”
“Tell me anything.”
Even if I am told to cut my stomach with a knife right here and now, I must be willing to obey.
Before the power gap between the Robeheim and Bilhark families, there were rules that had to be followed as subordinate families.
“Edgar, I want to keep this child with my child.”
“Are you saying you want to grow as an attendant… … ?”
It’s not particularly difficult. To put it bluntly, it could be seen as an act of following the trend.
When it comes to the grand duke’s attendants or maids, they usually have to have a lot of personality and knowledge, so there were many cases where they brought in children from other noble families.
In the case of a lower noble family, it was possible to establish a relationship with a higher noble family, so it wasn’t a bad thing by itself.
However, the answer that came out of Helen’s mouth was completely different from Catria’s expectation.
“no. I would rather have him as a friend to this child, not as an attendant.”
“Yes? Friends… … .”
friend? Katria doubted her ears.
Of course, at a young age, in order to maintain the innocence of the children, there were cases where they were made friends regardless of the difference in status under mutual family agreement.
However, there is such a thing as being good to some extent.
A family with such weak authority that it is quick to count from the back even in the baron family, and the child of the grand duke, who is counted among three fingers in the empire, to be friends?
“Boo, madam… I’m grateful that you look at my child well, but it’s not enough to be the princess’s friend… … .”
As a parent, I know how disgraceful it is to belittle one’s own children, but this was the only way for now.
If he had said that he would rather have him as an attendant, he would have accepted it right away, but the gap between being friends was too great.
Eventually, when you get older and your children grow up, you will know the truth, but as a mother, you cannot ignore the shock that Edgar will feel.
“It’s okay, Katria. I don’t want this kid to do anything for me.”
Helene stared into the eyes of the little boy who was still staring at her.
I didn’t even see the vessel as a brave warrior. I didn’t even see the vessel as a great scholar.
It’s just that this child would be a friend who would stay by his side no matter what his daughter was. That intuition just kicked in.
“Edgar, take good care of my child. Although I don’t know if I will grow up to be a blunt and inconsiderate person like my father… Please watch over this child from the side.”
The grand duke’s hostess bowed her head and asked for a child who was no more than two years old.

Katria tried to stop her from the side, but Sheppy, who was watching her, shook her head low and gave her a wink as if asking her to leave it as it is.
“Daa-!”
“Whoops, yes. Thank you.”
At Helene’s request, Edgar responded bravely, raising the pendant in his hand, and only then did a smile of relief appear on her lips.
Even so, I tend to be confident in one eye that people see. Because she, who was naturally weak and was not good at anything, came here because her eyesight played a big part.
Edgar, who responded enthusiastically, stared intently at Ariel, who was sitting across from him.
Black hair and red eyes.
Even though she was only two years old, her features were quite distinct, indicating that she was destined to become a formidable beauty.
‘Such a kid is short-lived… … .’
That was the only thing he knew about a girl named Ariel Loveheim.
Why she died, who was involved in her death, whether there was a crime committed, or whether she was wrongly framed. didn’t know any of that
He reached out and placed a hand on Ariel’s cheek.
At the same time as the warmth passed through her small hands, Ariel’s head tilted to the side in a dainty way, as if asking why.
‘It wouldn’t be bad.’
At least, if this girl wasn’t an existence that had to disappear like dust.
I thought it would be okay to watch someone’s path in their new life.
I’m not proud of it, but I’m proud of my own mental age, so I was confident in playing with babies.
‘Rather, I might be excited and play.’
Anyway, it was a good thing for Edgar.
In a positive sense, it was like putting a snow stamp on the Loveheim family, who was to be served as the next head of the Billhark family.
Besides, he became friends with the only daughter of the grand duke’s family, so I wondered if this would be a happy ending.
“Oh, I fell asleep.”
Maybe it’s because of excessive tension with a child’s body.
Edgar, who was messing around with Ariel’s cheek, was defeated by the sword.
He seemed like a dependable man just a little while ago, but it seems that a child is a child after all.
Helen laughed and picked up Edgar herself and handed him over to her mother, Catria.
Please be a good friend to your daughter.
As a mother, that was the only thing she wanted.
