Roland stood frozen in the doorway, staring through the hallway.
“It was the strange thing I saw before!”
“It’s a cat.”
Melissa said stubbornly.
“Roland, Melissa. Can you tell me in detail what the animal looked like?”
Karina patted Roland, who was still trembling to calm him down, and used Melissa’s head
‘I just let it go earlier, but if it’s a dangerous beast, I can’t stay still.’
Melissa opened her mouth first.
“It’s a cat. His hair was spiky and black and his eyes were all yellow!”
“How is that a cat!”
Roland exclaimed in shock.
“I don’t know what it is…”
“Was it magic?”
“Nope.”
Roland shook his head.
“Melissa and I know well about magic. It was my first time seeing that animal. It looks more like a rock than a cat. A moving rock.”
“First of all, the duke said it was a cat.”
Karina answered slowly.
“But I don’t think it’s a cat, either. Next time we meet, I’ll ask. But I don’t think it’s a dangerous animal, so don’t be too scared, okay?”
“Yes.”
Roland nodded.
“Madam Bloe!”
Eduard’s voice was heard. Karina hurried down to the first floor.
Eduard had a faint smile.
“The duke told me that he had hired a tutor.”
“Yes? Already?”
“Actually, he persuaded Ms. Terrace.”
Karina’s eyes widened.
Ms. Terrace did not seem to want to receive a student other than the princess.
‘How did he convince her in just a few hours?’
“But Ms. Terrace said it was too hard and turned it down.”
“She thought it was doable, so she accepted it. However, she had one condition: she would only take classes in the main building’s library. Madam, are you okay with that?
“Yes. It doesn’t matter at all. Then just the kids…….?”
“Yes. If you take the children to the entrance of the main building at the appointed time, then Ms. Terrace will take charge of the next.”
The hours requested by Miss Terrace were from 10:00 to 12:00 every morning.
It wasn’t too early because school started at 9.
The next morning.
Karina woke the children up and fed them breakfast. Eduard prepared poached eggs, crispy toast, and apples cut into rabbit shapes for them.
“It’s so cute I don’t want to eat it.”
Roland whispered in a small voice. Karina smiled, thinking how cute Roland is.
“You still have to eat it. If Roland didn’t eat it and threw it away, this rabbit would be even more sad.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Roland bit the apple.
“Good job.”
The meal was soon over.
Karina thanked Eduard.
“Thank you so much for staying here for us.”
Eduard looked around and whispered softly to Karina only after confirming that the children were completely distracted.
“I heard what happened. Of course, it’s our responsibility, so we’ll risk our lives to protect Madam. Rest assured.”
“……but Mr. Eduard is not a part of it.”
Eduard let out a wild laugh.
“How can I, a member of the duke, not be a part of it? So, don’t worry, Madam, and stay here.”
After a while, Karina left the annex with the children.
‘I might be able to come out a little more relaxed tomorrow.’
She was an hour ahead of her appointment because she also had in mind the possibility of getting lost.
“The way, be sure to remember that.”
“I will.”
Roland nodded loudly. Melissa looked up at Karina with an uneasy look.
“Mom, are you not coming with us?”
“Have you already forgotten, Melissa? You went to school together right. This is like a little school but just for the two of you, so only you guys have to take classes.”
“Well…”
Fortunately, Melissa only let out a small cry.
When Karina walked in the corridor holding the children’s hands in both hands.
Sharp words that did not match the clear and quiet voice passed Karina’s ear.
“Andrea, what are those filthy kids doing over there?”
Karina’s body stiffened.
She slowly lifted her head and looked at the place where the voice came from.
A girl in her early teens with black hair and purple eyes was staring at Karina and the children.

The girl was wearing the most expensive-looking clothes Karina had ever seen in her life.
“Ah.”
Karina quickly recognized the girl’s identity.
The girl who just called her children ‘these filthy children’ is named Astrid Deviatan Tors.
