“Your rumors from the emperor are spreading all the way to the front.”
-Sorry…
‘Dakkak.’ Cecil Blanquer said as he put down the teapot.
Eva, who was sitting like a well-trained daughter-in-law, looked up at her in awe.
The mother and daughter, who entered the empty tea room of Yeongjuseong, poured tea and brewed tea leaves on their own without any soldiers.
Eva had never seen her mother do this for the first time in her life.
She was always Duke of Blanquere before she was the mother of siblings, and she had no reason or need to do any other chores other than public affairs.

Of course, I knew I couldn’t do this, but I kept opening and closing my mouth as I saw you doing it as smooth as your main job.
There was a time when Royal Court Jesse learned how to serve tea for his servants, so he learned it for fun, but if it hadn’t been for that day’s experience, I might have made many mistakes today.
“Is the social world right for you?”
Suddenly, an unexpected question flew in. The peacock nodded quickly.
“yes. Yes, it seems.”
“·················ogue.”
Were you good at answering honestly?

Or did I have to lie to my mother’s temperament that she wasn’t?
Eva was not confident, so she looked only at the surface of the mint tea.
My mother has always been a difficult person.
The child has never felt the ‘warmth’ or ‘affection’ of his parents even once since he was born.

Of course, the tutor and nanny said otherwise.
The two said that giving each brother and sister pocket money in gold coins, giving them a house as a gift, feeding them good food, or dressing them in fine clothes is the ultimate love.
And until a few years ago, Eva believed it like a rock.
To be precise, until I met the foolish palace lord.
“I said I wanted to have power. Don’t you regret saying that?”
“······yes. I used to just vaguely want to, but now I know that power can do a lot of good things. So I’m still thinking the same thing.”
The girl said, holding the teacup handle tightly.
Cecil took one look at her daughter, then with a graceful touch she poured the honey into her glass.
Eva couldn’t stand the silence and looked out the window for a moment.
The whole of Lake Yeri was busy with workers carrying luggage.
I heard that His Majesty is leaving this place soon.
The king and his friends also said they were going north. To catch Berner Penetian and the Beast.
“…I was not originally destined to become a duke.”
After taking a sip of the tea, Cecil said calmly.
Eva looked back at her with her eyes wide open. This was a very surprising statement.
We’ve had dinner together several times so far, but my mother never enjoyed chatting.
The main topic always came first, and even that there was no lengthy explanation.
Even when the three of them, including the father, sat at the table, the conversation between them was less than 30 lines long.
It looked familiar to both of them, but Eva was honestly a little uncomfortable.
Rather, it was more fun to sit alone and eat while listening to the chatter of the servants.
I did…
“Since your older brother was going to be a sojourner, I never really thought deeply about the future of the family or the mato.”
“Ah yes.”
Eva is an uncle whom I’ve never actually met.
It was the story of Alexandre Lister.
It felt like my heart was beating at a different beat in response to an unexpected topic.
“He was an immature second child, and he was always hiding in the shadow of his brother and complaining. I also said that I wanted to be in power, or that if I became a duke, I would become greater than my brother.”
“·················ogue.”
“It was a word that could be said as a person who would not become a successor for the rest of his life. It was a very comfortable life.”
For a moment, the eyes of the two mothers and daughters met.
Black brown eyes that looked alike were holding each other alone.
“Then one day, without notice, I became a Sogaju. It was a sudden change, but I had to adapt.”
“·················ogue.”
“It was then that I understood the actions of my brother, who was like a corner stone. Why did you want to teach me more, why did you give me more responsibility and try to grow me… Why did you look so ungrateful?”
“·················ogue.”
“The day before leaving, why did you say sorry to me? all.”
“Are you resentful of your Majesty?”
“no.”
The answer was like a knife. Cecil showed a rare smile.
The look in her eyes that recalled her brother was so warm that Eva was startled inside.
“I would be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but it wasn’t bad. I was content to be a peacock.”
“·················ogue.”
“The one thing I regretted is that I couldn’t talk more with my brother. My parents blocked all of our secret correspondence.”
That was, too. Eva raised her eyebrows involuntarily.
Cecil stared at his daughter, who still looked young.
“I don’t think I am a good mother. He’s never had any kind of affection from his parents, and he’s naturally indifferent. Unfortunately, your father grew up in a similar environment.”
“·················ogue.”
“Don’t ask me to understand. I wasn’t too bad to ask a child to carry an adult’s burden. It’s just that we’re underperforming.”
Cecil, who was so drunk, took the car. Eva followed her mother and choked her.
Suddenly, I had so many thoughts that I couldn’t come up with an appropriate answer.
For a moment, Robert’s brother’s face flashed through his mind.
“so······. Nor would I dare judge you as a child.”
The child’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. The duke continued calmly.
“Good daughter, bad daughter. I think that such standards are given only to those who have properly acted as parents. Me and Paul don’t deserve it.”
I had no idea what this meant.
Are you sure your mother is going to abandon me? No, it didn’t seem like that.
However, the context was so difficult that it was impossible to even approximate it.
“Don’t rate me as Hani Sogaju.”
“ah······.”
“Are you on the right path, or are you leading this family properly? How your judgment will affect Gasol’s future… That is enough to advise and point out.”
‘What do you think?’ The peacock asked so.
Eva had a puzzled look on her face for a while, then shook her head hurriedly, wondering if her mother would steer clear of her words.
As expected, there were no friendly expressions or warm encouragement.
But in the eyes of the girl, this was the best display of support and favor her mother could have.
I’ve always wanted to get this guy’s approval!
“Then, are you accepting me as a small owner? Even though I can’t use my mana by myself in a family of venerable wizards?”
“…you don’t necessarily need mana to lead the Magical Division. Rather, be a good conductor.”
“Wow!”
Eva let out a loud cry and then quickly covered her mouth.
Still, he couldn’t suppress the clown’s twitchy clown.

Of course, it was last year that Eva officially ascended the duke.
However, the Duke had never told Ai about the family’s magic tower.
It was Eva’s guess to the last, but it seems that her mother was worried about how to deal with Sogaju, who had no talent for magic.
If you take the easy way, you could have adopted an adopted daughter or adopted child among relatives your age—
“For reference, there were no plans to adopt another child.”
“Ugh.”
“There is nothing wrong with you being a priest. Although there will be difficulties in the future, I can see a vessel that will become a good householder… Go back to the Empire, and learn the general management of the tower from your father.”
“yes! yes!”
“okay. The work of the Victory Prayer Meeting had to be enough. A tower always needs a leader.”
“I will do that, mother!”
Eva, so excited, forgot her manners and jumped up.
so glad! I want to go quickly and torture the king’s forearm!
“only.”

Only······?
“The person who will become your husband in the future should be a wizard. I’m not forcing it, but I want you to think about it.”
Cecil said with a more solemn face.
For a moment, Eva remembered the beautiful white-haired Confucius she had seen that day.
My memory was messed up because my consciousness was clouded…
At that time, he saved me from the chaos and disappeared, so he must have possessed great abilities.
It seemed that the king had roughly said the same thing.
“Ugh, yes!”
Well, he’s not a paladin, so of course he’s a wizard.
Confucius has already passed!

December 16th was bright.
It was the day the ‘Fake Mercenary Guild’ left for the North. There were two members out of a total of six this time.
Me, Mr. Cain, the Crown Prince, Sir John,
François (great credit for saving us with a belt on the black market),
Lightning Guy (Your Majesty gave it to me, but I honestly don’t understand).
There, Loffirand (I never asked, but seeing him standing next to Charlemagne, they seem to be going together), Tite (I couldn’t help but cry when I took it off my arms).
And some cool horse friends to ride us.
– Kii, Kiheung!
“Yes, please take good care of Heroic Spirit and Yeri. I will only trust you.”
– Kee hoo!
“yes. Demi is a genius Shinsoo, so don’t worry. Listen carefully to Canael and David.”
– Chia!
“That’s right. Our Leah is strong and will get along well. See you soon.”
We said goodbye to each other near the north gate of Yeongjuseong.
The red pandas decided not to go on this trip together, but to stay on the Huyu and Yeri.
This is because the ground here is so weak that it needs the help of the earth attribute, and the god ‘Heroic Spirit of Iran’ has not yet fully recovered its power.
I don’t know for sure, but it seems like there’s something special about similar attributes.
Because Heroic Spirit especially liked Aemuldanji, we stayed together for a while.
They also really enjoyed playing with the Heroic Spirit.
-Good luck, little moon. Don’t forget your crown too!
“thank you. I hope that the Heroic Spirit will also get well soon.”
-Yes. how pretty
After I said goodbye to the end of the garden, I was relieved to hear that, and I sprinkled five-color tulip petals over my head.
Apparently, this was the ‘crown’. I laughed out loud at the gentle blessing.
Next, I greeted Bishop Blaise Bourne and Sir Elizabeth.
The bishop said that he would take care of the patients here for the time being.
The commander of the neighborhood guard is scheduled to escort the ‘sinners’ to the imperial capital, and then immediately return to His Majesty’s side.

On the other side, Canael and Eva were sharing a warm hug with Mr. Cain.
“Lord, if we write a letter, will you receive it?”
“I can’t write yet, but I’m good at drawing!”
“The letter will be a little difficult, but we will meet again soon. My uncle will come later and I’ll see you all. Until then, eat well and sleep well. promise.”
I lowered my posture and put my little finger on Kina and Willem, and thanked the adults who came out to see me off.
The warmth of the children hanging from their waists was warm.
His Majesty was too busy to be seated, but His Majesty Stanislas sent us instead.
You’re dressed like you’d be able to beat a high-ranking beast at any moment…
“Baby, just don’t go in front of me. It’s the old man’s deep concern, so please understand.”
“Yes. Thank you very much, My Majesty.”
He said that he would go only five hundred steps together for a walk, so he gladly replied that he would.
The scenery of my friends who looked back carefully was tinged with a light like the color of spring.
Watching Prince Sedric being cared for by David or Sir John taking care of Isabelle made my heart feel warm.
Caroline Marquess, standing next to Djibril Dioff, patted his shoulder and smiled.
From what I heard earlier, she and Princess Marguerite had a good conversation. Relief······.
– Oh, sweet.
“Yes?”
A small spirit called me from above.
When speaking, even though her lips do not move, she puts her hands together and mimics the words of a human ear.
– I think the kaleidoscope child has something to say. Hide behind me!
If it’s a kaleidoscope…
“Bakari-kun?”
As I sang with my head straightened out, an indigo doll came out from behind the sky and sky of the Heroic Spirit.
Also, he was embarrassed to be caught in this way, and on the other hand, he looked like he was prepared for something.
I asked Sir Elizabeth for Tite for a moment and then approached him.
The prophet’s robes embroidered with silver thread fluttered wildly in the north wind.
-Whee
“My lord. Before you leave, I have something to tell you.”
“Finally?”
When I asked that question, the pupils under the glasses turned pale in surprise.
I laughed and continued.
“You’ve been hanging around all these days as if you had something to say. I’m pretty quick.”
“·················ogue.”
“Speak comfortably. I am ready to hear any story.”
If it was a revelation, I would humbly accept it, and if it was a warning, I would never forget it.
First, put your hands together and straighten your posture. Then, Bakari-kun bit his lip softly…
“‘Modest’ is not my real name.”
Suddenly, he whispered such a confession. I paused for a moment.
“·················ogue.”
“What is that expression? Did you know?”
uhh…
“The king?”
“Hey, back when we met at the bar.”
I scratched my cheek with a puzzled look.
That was probably the testimony of Baron Gian Tillier, the main bomber who assaulted the Bacari army.
‘Think about it, Prince. The leader sees death. My future read by the author? Did I find out my last that I did not know? What could be worse and more unfortunate than that?’
‘Did the Viscounts and Viscounts give them the name Modeste? I just want them to be ordinary and not square.’
“Because that person said so… I roughly expected it. If it had been given a name in the hopes of becoming an ordinary and unobtrusive being, the child would have already grown up to reveal its uniqueness. I thought there must be a different name given to me when I was born. I wasn’t sure…”
“Oh my God. Why do you think that side of your head rolls so well?”
Wait. ‘That side of the head’ isn’t it?
“ha······. Anyway, after hearing what the king had to say to those children, I also started receiving soul therapy a while ago.”
Suddenly, Bakari-kun made a sharp curve! I was startled and silenced my voice.
“Ugh. I didn’t know that.”
“You are right that you don’t know. It’s my private life.”
“Oh, right.”
As I hurriedly captured my expression and nodded my chin, the Prophet looked up at me and took a deep breath.
No, I’m the older brother…
“So I wanted to say thank you to the king.”
“·················ogue.”
“I have also improved a lot. Of course, it’s not perfect serenity, but… It’s getting better little by little.”
The eyes that said that were clear and blue today. I replied with a bright smile.
“This is really good news. Thank you for letting me know.”
“yes. From now on, I will be indebted to bread.”
“Okay, I hope you enjoy it a lot.”
As he responded with a playful tone, his mature face returned a wonderful smile.
“My name is Camille. Camille Bacary.”
