I wanted to shout that I don’t want to go to the Grand Duke’s residence, but I know it’s hard. That’s what my father’s superior wanted. There may be some disadvantages to my father when I refuse. Phew, I’m anxious because I can’t play boss around both the father and son. As an adult, kind, and bright person, I have to put up with it.

“No. I will go.”

“Will you be okay?”

My father’s concerns were shown. With a serious expression, I smiled bashfully.

“Of course.”

I didn’t know that my father’s face would come loose even though I had said it. Rather, he seemed more complex and confused. My father, who seemed to be thinking a lot for a moment, sighed and informed me.

“Aren, the Grand Prince/Lord is dangerous. Never, ever, be vigilant. If you find yourself doing something strange, run to Father right away. Got it?”

I was taken aback by my father’s warning.

How crazy would it be for my father to say something like this? Somehow, I’ve been suspicious since the last time he allowed me to hit him. I’ll have to be more careful with Kirsec in the future.

“Yes! I’ll be careful. If I’m scared, I’ll definitely run to the training ground!”

When I clenched my fists and answered strongly, relief spread across my father’s face.

The waiting time seemed to never come no matter how much I waited, so the day came in an instant. Time disappeared as if Sunday morning turned into Monday morning.

It was already the day I visited the Grand Duke’s residence, and I think I blinked a few times, but I arrived at the Grand Duke’ residence.

“Arendine, welcome. It’s been a long time.”

Who greeted me was Mrs. Seryl, who was kind to me.

“Mrs. Seryl! How are you? Long time no see. How are you doing?”

When I ran away from Kirsec’s touch in this mansion, she was the only person I thought wasn’t the devil. I was so happy that I was hovering around Mrs. Seryl, and then I grabbed her hand and showed some aegyo.

Mrs. Seryl was my benefactor. When I was avoiding Kirsec like a wild beast, it was not difficult to hide, wash and sleep. Because my body was small, I was rather easy to hide. However, the most difficult part was procuring food. Because there were so many people, there was a limit to stealing from restaurants or kitchens.

It was all thanks to Mrs. Seryl that I was able to survive that heinous tag. I might have surrendered to hunger if Mrs. Seryl hadn’t taken her food for me.

“For me, it’s thanks to Arendine.”

“Because of me?”

I was bewildered. What happened to Mrs. Seryl because of me? Then Mrs. Seryl covered her mouth with one hand and whispered in my ear as if telling a secret.

“Yes. I got promoted thanks to you. I heard you caught the butler’s atrocities. In the meantime, those who were treated unfairly by the butler were promoted, and those who received benefits were demoted.”

You mean that happened in two days? The Grand Duke’s performance was commendable. If he had raised his son a little bit better, he would have been a really respectable person.

Even so, I couldn’t tell Mrs. Seryl how mature I am, so I pretended not to know and opened my eyes wide. As it turns out, cute little children are more likely to win. Because Mrs. Seryl is a good food giver for me!

“Really?”

With my innocent performance, Mrs. Seryl just laughed.

“Come on, let’s go inside.”

Mrs. Seryl reached out to me and I squeezed her hand. We arrived at the parlor not long after that. As soon as the door was opened, Kirsec, who was sitting on the chair, jumped up. He looked at me in surprise, as if he had been waiting for me to appear, and he moved stiffly and moved to the other side.

“I, I like it here more. This is a more comfortable place.”

And why was he muttering something like that? I felt it even in the last meeting, but he’s a really, really weird guy.

First of all, I hid my pitiful inner thoughts and approached him to say hello, with my hands on my belly button.

“Hello.”

“Uh.”

Whoa, that cheeky reaction. When I said hello, he just said ‘uh’. I endured the nagging that welled up again and sat across from Kirsec. Then I turned off my annoyed nerves and glanced over the table.

What came to mind after seeing the spread was amazing. On the table, a lot of colorful and sweet-smelling desserts were prepared. They all looked appetizing. Even when I was staying in the Grand Duke’s residence, I got some snacks, but it wasn’t to this extent.

It was so great that the feeling of not wanting to come here disappeared. Because our house was so simple, it was the first time that such a wonderful dessert came to see since I was born again. I want to eat quickly.

That macaron looks delicious, that brownie looks delicious, and that pudding looks great too. Everything looks delicious! I wish I could pour the tea sooner! I was so obsessed with dessert that I was afraid that saliva would drip when I opened my mouth.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

I answered without even looking at Kirsec. Then a slightly more nervous voice was heard.

“Hey!”

When I lifted my head and looked at Kirsec, somehow his face was shriveled with dissatisfaction. But he was only fussy and didn’t want to speak with his mouth. This guy’s personality. It will be difficult to change in two days.
