Chapter 40: 39

Seeing Brielle so excited that Barry’s grammar skills improved, the child was still a child.

On the day she received the letter, Ellie had been in a good mood all day, humming around. Even though the letters were full of nagging, it seemed that it was because Barry felt genuinely worried.

‘By the way, you’re still close with Siege.’

It’s good to be close with his friend, but it was unavoidable for her to have such a worrying heart first.

‘Before, the third place in the swordsmanship department was Siege.’

He seemed to have outstanding skills as in the original story. But, it was a little bit of a mystery. Siege was described as a genius among geniuses, though it seemed that he had less skill than that.

‘No, third place is a great thing.’

It was Briellelie who woke up Marie, who had been distracted by thoughts of Siege.

“Marie, let’s go get some breakfast.”

“Yes.”

After washing his face by himself, she wiped Brielle’s face with a towel and hurriedly grabbed his hand, and walked to the dining room.

“It’s ready.”

It was Derek. He gave Kentrail a report of the things he had done in the meantime as he found him late.

“Yeah. I’m sorry I’m leaving you to this.”

“No. I know it’s absolutely necessary.”

He found that planting people in the Royal Palace was more difficult than he thought. It would be easy if he revealed his identity and planted it, but there is a lot to be prepared to do secretly.

Everyone might be surprised to find out that the innocent and clean chancellor was preparing for such a thing.

Though he wasn’t afraid of that. Protecting the people he loved was not a big deal.

Among them, the most difficult task was planting people in the queen’s palace. It was difficult to find someone who would stand by her side and look after the Queen’s movements because she only used noble ladies as her ladies-in-waiting.

“Sooner or later, there will be an announcement of the recruitment of new maids and servants. Let’s try and let in a few people at that time.”

“Yes.”

“And keep in mind that the queen may not be our enemy.”

“Do you have anyone else to pick up on?”

“Well…”

If it’s not for profit, it means that there’s a grudge, but he couldn’t think of anyone who could cause such an accident after watching for a long time.

‘Maybe the person involved in the case where my parents came out of the palace.’

Still, this side, too, was the victim.

‘Then the real culprit is the culprit behind the incident.’

It was a very old case record, so there were few documents left after he became chancellor.

“Let’s take a look at my parent’s case. I have a list of the families who were kicked out together. Could you take a look at how they live?”

“Of course.”

“It’s important to find out the truth about the case, but your safety is more important. Don’t forget that and work on it.”

Derek decided to follow him because he was the one who told him this.

He smiled quietly once as he looked at his friendly speaking superior. It was such a quick look that Kentrail would not have known if he had not been looking at him.

Ellie and Brielle sat in the garden with severe expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, the employees glanced at what they were playing. Because the two of them had so much fun, even the employees would burst into laughter when they saw the children playing.

“Ellie, can I catch you now?”

Brielle whispered and spoke. She then put one of her fingers to her lips, signaling to be quiet.

“You still have to wait.”

A few seconds passed, and at last, following Ellie’s gestures, Brielle reached out to something.

“I got it!”

It was a dragonfly. Although Ellie had managed to catch it several times, it was the first time Brielle had caught it himself.

He was so excited that he jumped out and lost the dragonfly in his hand. Brielle quickly became in tears.

Next to him, Ellie laughed for a long time at the funny scene. When she saw the child, the young master sulked next to her, but the laughter that erupted once did not stop easily.

“What makes you so happy?”

When she turned her head to the side at the sound of her sister’s words, she saw her sister standing side by side with the Count, watching them.

“I caught a dragonfly.”

Brielle’s answer was faster than Ellie.

“Dragonfly?”

At his nephew’s words, the Count raised his head and looked up at the sky. Inside, she was amazed at the Count’s side view reflected in the sunset.

‘He’s handsome, too. Will the Young Master be like that when he grows up?’

Brielle was still more attractive with chubby cheeks, but he still had a doll-like appearance.

“You didn’t catch a single one?”

Seeing the children’s empty collection bins, Kentrail asked.

“No, Ellie caught three and released them right away, I caught one and it ran away.”

He looked at his nephew’s expression with a gloomy look and said as he looked at Brielle, wondering what to do.

“Let’s catch it with uncle again.”

“Yes, sure.”

And so, the two sat on the flower dragonfly and waited for the dragonfly to land somewhere. It would be nice to have a long pole, though dragonfly nets were not made and sold here.

Marie, who was gazing at it, took a long branch that had fallen beside and disappeared for a moment. After a while, she brought a piece of worn-out cloth attached to it. She did not have to wait and caught the dragonfly with it.

All three people, except Marie, were surprised to see what the hell she was doing with the strange thing she had made.

“Wow. My sister caught the dragonfly very easily.”

Ellie was admiring from the side.

“Really?” She said, taking the dragonfly with her hands and flew it out again.

“How could you think of that…”

Kentrail was speaking the words, realizing that she was from another place, and blurred his words.

“I’ll try that, too.”

Brielle stepped forward and took the branch Marie was holding. He then swung his arms around excitedly. “I got it! Did you see it?”

The excited child shouted at everyone.

“Yes, I saw it. Let’s get it out quickly.”

Next to him, Ellie ran all over the place. Brielle put his little hand in and carefully grabbed the dragonfly.

This time, he wanted to hold it a little tighter so as not to let it away, although he couldn’t because he was afraid the dragonfly’s wings would break. As soon as the dragonfly was taken out, it flew away.

Nonetheless, Brielle seemed happy. This time, instead of crying, he smiled broadly.

“Hehe, that’s fun.”

The three watched with delight as the child carefully pulled out the dragonflies, saying that if the wings were damaged, the dragonfly would be sad.

Only the gardener sighed when he saw Brielle wandering and messing with the garden.

Even the cool season was passing by.

Large snowflakes came.

Ellie and Brielle’s backs were shaking because they wanted to play outside.

“Sit down.”

But, a strict voice stopped them. In Kentrail’s words, the children had no choice but to sit back in their chairs.

“Uncle, the snow is melting…”

Nevertheless, even his nephew’s earnest eyes didn’t work.

“Then, you should solve all of these problems.”

“I’ve solved it all. Count.”

Meanwhile, Ellie showed the Count the problem she was solving.

“This part is wrong. Again.”

The child’s face flushed with disappointment.

Marie was smiling as the two children were so adorable.

Brielle’s study room in the County. If there has been a recent change here, it would be Kentrail teaching the two children himself.

He had decided to take on Brielle temporarily until he found a new tutor, but he also brought in Ellie. Marie resisted, but he insisted that she let him teach Ellie because she couldn’t attend school.

In addition, Kentrail told her she couldn’t refuse.

Fortunately, it was possible to become a teacher after graduating from school. Because the school system was not as well equipped as with the exception of the Knight Academy, passing the teacher exam will give the right to teach the neighborhood children.

He didn’t teach anything complicated, and the exams weren’t tricky.

The problem was the Count’s passion. Since he decided to teach the two of them, he raised his enthusiasm, saying that he would try to do it right. He passed the bureaucratic examination as the top of the class, so this was not difficult.

“I did it all.”

Brielle pushed the math problem he was solving in front of the Count.

“Me, too.”

As if Ellie had corrected all her mistakes, she was looking intently at Kentrail’s mouth, where permission would fall.

“You both did well. You can go out and play.”

As soon as his permission was granted, the children ran away.

“You must wear tight clothes. Ellie, you must wear gloves as well.”

“Yes!”

The two answered at the same time and ran outside to avoid Marie’s nagging.

“What am I going to do if they fall…?” Marie muttered in vain as she glanced at their backs getting further away.

Warmth fell on her shoulders.

As she lifted her head, Kentrail’s hand was in place.

“Count.”

“Stop worrying about the children and go out to see the snow. It’s the first snow.”

“Yes…”

She moved her steps as he kindly led her. The butler saw the scene and ran with his clothes from afar.

“Master. The weather is cold. Take your coat with you.”

“All right.”

Although he naturally wrapped the clothes around Marie.

“No. Count could wear it.”

She was startled and avoided his touch. When she peered at the butler who was standing next to him. But the butler gave her a look as if he knew it and signaled her to just wear it.

She saw one of the servants running from afar, too. There were other clothes. It seemed that the butler had prepared two sets of clothes on purpose.

Kentrail internally praised the butler, saying he had good judgment.

“Well, let’s go.”

Following the Count’s words, when they went out to the entrance, they could see the children already throwing snow at each other and playing. The front door opened and the two of them came out.

The cold air brushed her cheeks. She’s been hit by the winter here several times, but each time she felt different.

During the first snow she had hugged Brielle, who couldn’t even walk properly, but now he was running around vigorously.

And, the Count, who was struggling and sad, was walking next to her, matching her stride.

She lifted her eyes and peered at him.

‘Since when…?’

Her eyes met his, and it looked like he had been looking at her for a long time.

Neither of them could feel the snow or the loud noises of children at that moment. They could only see each other and only felt the warmth of their touch.

“I have something to tell you.”

Kentrail was out of luck. Marie’s heart began to beat violently at his low and deep voice.

However, at that moment, a pile of snow flew onto them. At that, he swiftly lifted the hem of the coat he was wearing to protect Marie.

When he lowered the coat, the children were already standing with their eyes raised with playful expressions as they looked at them.

“Come on, uncle.”

Brielle’s exhilarating voice was heard. He stared at Marie with a look of helplessness.

“Well, let’s talk next time?”

“Yes.” Marie nodded her head.

What can they talk about with those two children? And so, she just quietly raised the snow in her hands and threw it forward.

“Ack! Sister, that’s cheating! There’s no surprise like this.”

“Who threw the snow first?”

When Kentrail joined in, the kids were busy running around. The joyous and raucous voices of children covered the mansion.

Their peaceful time continued until the snow stopped that night.
