Chapter 126: 126

“But- if you buy me a limited edition cosmetic from Chanelle, I would feel rewarded a bit.”

That made me take back my tears. Yeah, well. Everything needs a price. Of course, Daisy has the right to be rewarded, although it’s quite cute that she requested cosmetics as a reward. Considering that, she’s more of a girl than a frightening assassin.

“Yeah. I’ll get some when I visit the streets soon.”

“You have to hurry. It’s a limited edition, so it’ll sell out quickly. Anyway, you’re so perfect today as well, even though I was the one who did it.”

In response to her impossible compliment, I turned to look at the mirror and felt that my usual face looked a bit pretty today. Yeah, it’s not bad to be complimented like this sometimes. I was feeling a good vibe surrounding me when I heard a rough knock.

“Marin! Let’s go to work!”

I sighed at Chelleno’s voice, and Daisy spoke with a grin, “Have a good day, milady.”

“Yeah. You don’t need to come for me after work today. I’m going to watch the theatrical version with Lumi, Jianne, and Rian.”

“Yes, milady.”

I opened the door of the room with my protector maid behind me and saw a big dog-like Chelleno grinning in front. It was the same as usual, but it never gets old.

“Marin, you’re pretty today too!”

I always found this side of Chelleno to be annoying before, but now I know that he does this because that’s what he thinks of me. I just find it a bit problematic that his impression of me is a bit overrated. I hope he can see me normally. Of course, he wouldn’t know what I was thinking, so he just offered me his hand with a bright smile.

“Let’s go.”

I looked at his hand. The hand that he would offer to me anytime. Maybe… if I tell my cousins and my uncle about my problem, it might be a bit easier to solve. But I had to think deeply as it might hurt my uncle’s family. They are the people that I want to protect.

“Yeah, let’s go.”

As I grabbed his hand, Chelleno blushed and swung his hand a bit hard, seemingly glad. At his childish expression, I scolded him coldly, “Stop. You’re not a kid.”

“Oh, right. Sorry.”

I felt proud to see him stopping immediately. At least he could hold himself and act like an adult now. I patted his head as a reward, and Chelleno asked with a grin, “Marin, I heard you’re going to see the play with our troublemakers and Adrian?”

“Yeah. Do you want to come with me?”

At my question, Chelleno spoke slowly, sounding a bit depressed, “No, I can’t go even if I want to. I have a night shift today. But it’s good that Lumi’s going with you. I never thought I would feel the need for a sister! Even if it’s Adrian, he’s no match for my beastly sister. It’s not like I don’t trust Adrian, as he’s like the epitome of a knight, but he’s still a man, so you must be careful.”

I know Lumi can be strong, but she’s such a pretty girl! You shouldn’t call her a beast! What a terrible brother. He’s worse than how my brother and I speak… Actually, never mind. They are truly brother and sister. Anyway, I find it hilarious to hear that I should be careful of Rian. I’m sure everyone would say he should be careful of me instead.

“Anyway, have fun, Marin. I approve of Adrian so… I guess I should allow a play.”

Funny. Chelleno’s birthday is later than mine, and he’s acting like he’s my older brother. I see whatever I want to see without your permission, alright?
