Chapter 126: Snacks are Waiting

Editor: Sam

When we came back after walking around again, Nico looked bored.

Lei, are we really not going to play today?

I looked at Otou-sama. I finished greeting everyone, and the adults were busy warming up old friendships. It didnt seem like there would be any problems even if I werent here.

Otou-syama.

Hmm.

A person from the Molesey house approached us when Otou-sama looked like he didnt want to let me go play.

Dean, whats wrong? You have a more complicated expression than usual.

I dont want to be told that by you. Well, the children look like theyre getting bored.

Thats how debuts are. Even one-year-olds withdraw when theyre shown to lots of people.

Certainly, children get tired when theyre too lively.

I see. She doesnt want to go back to her room, the children want to play.

Mark looked at Nico and me and nodded as if he understood.

Leila and Prince Nicholas have guards, dont they?

Of course.

Mark looked around the hall as if he was searching for something.

Oh, theyre here. You have guards stationed inside and outside of the mansion, so you dont have to worry. And, I happen to want to take a break.

Mark smiled wryly, and the young ladies froze and looked my way.

Ill come too.

Thats not fair!

A voice came out from behind. It was Christine.

Oh, Chrishthine.

I told you to call me Chris!

Chris folded her arms and bent her chest. It was really alright for me to call her Chris. I freaked out a little.

Its really fine, Nico arrogantly gave me permission. Im the one who decides this though.

Yeah, its time for the adults to talk. Im a little bored. Can I come with you?

Of course. Its your house, Luke.

Its also my house, you know? Gill is already 15 years old, but he stood next to Nii-sama and looked as if it was obvious that he was going to follow us.

Chris. Youre wandering around by yourself again.

Its boring to listen to the adults talk.

Well, thats true.

Felicia quickly, but elegantly, chased after Chris. Felicia looked relieved to see that she found Chris, and turned back, but Ange-obasama didnt pay any attention this way.

Im going to go play with Lei and Prince Nico.

We didnt invite you, though. She was planning on following us, and I freaked out a little.

With just these kids? Felicia looked straight at Otou-sama. He still seemed hesitant but answered Felicia.

No, the guards will be there too. Mark, Gill and Luke will also be there.

Marcus-sama and Gill? Then it should be alright.

Nii-sama looked a little unhappy that he wasnt included in that list. Well, from her point of view, hes still only 12, and looked fragile and kind, so its hard to explain that hes really reliable. Besides, Marcus-sama and Gill. I understand the rank of the Four Marquisess boys very well.

Im so close to laughing.

Then, Ill show you around. We dont have time to go outside, so how about going to the greenhouse? Its quite big.

Apparently, the Albans greenhouse is quite famous. Ive only been there a few times, but it should be enough to run around. Why only a few times, you ask? I was kidnapped before I could move around more, and then when I returned, I started going to the castle.

Okay.

Nii-sama held out his hand. Anyway, Im his younger sister. He ignored the guests for his sister. Nii-samas love is a little heavy.

Alright.

Nico grabbed Nii-samas hand. Nico grew quite attached to Nii-sama after he came to the castle to play. I mean, to teach Nico how to train his magic. Nii-sama looked at me, a little troubled, but thats fine. I nodded.

But, I want to hold someones hand.

Ai.

Hey, why me?

Obviously, because youre almost the same height as me.

Chrishthine.

Its Chris! Argh, fine.

Chris reluctantly held my hand.

Lethsh fowwow Nii-syama.

Do you not know the way to your own greenhouse?

Too big.

Youre right. Theres a lot of places in my home that I havent been to either.

Its like that. We turned around and followed Nii-sama.

Cant you walk a bit faster?

I wiwe nice peopwe.

Argh.

I think Gill held out his hand for Felicia while smiling at me and Christine.

Now, lets go.

No, thank you.

Then, Ill hold your hand.

I dont need you to do that either, Marcus-sama.

She refused them both, and the three of them walked normally.

Nee-sama is independent. She doesnt like depending on people.

Wow.

Right? She can do everything herself. I want to be like her.

Then why dont you start with your manners?

Stharth withh greethingsh.

Lei, youre actually pretty strict.

Chris frowned.

I was jealous because everyones so loved.

Arent you loved as well?

Whath abouth Fewicia?

Nee-sama? I love her. She talks to me. But, Okaa-sama

Bushy?

Yeah. Your Otou-sama is too, right?

He goesh tho thhe cashthwe every day.

Of course he does, he is part of the Four Marquises after all

The Four Marquises goes to the castle every day to do some kind of work, and channels magic into the magic stones once every few days.

Youre so lucky to have violet eyes.

I wiwe brown eyesh thoo. Okaa-syama had brown eyesh.

My eye colour is like my Otou-samas.

Pwetty.

Pretty?

I swung our joined hands.

Pwetty. Ith woowsh wiwe thea withh miww. Yummy. (It looks like tea with milk)

Delicious things are good.

Thea withh miww. Snacwsh! (Snacks)

Come to think of it, I didnt eat any snacks.

Theres tea, and snacks in the greenhouse. Natalie, who was with us, told me.

Nathawie, thhanwsh.

Chrish, thhe shnacwsh are waithing!

Dont swing our hands too much! Even if you rush, you only know how to totter.

Im noth thoththering! Im wawwing properwy!

Run, Lei.

Being confused has nothing to do with it. Ive only had drinks for a while now. I had a light meal before that, you say? Thats a light meal, not snacks.

Weird kid.

Im normaw.

Im not sure about that.

Nii-sama giggled, and Gill laughed.

Lei is normal, other than the fact that she sleeps too much.

I think sleeping a lot is normal.

Is that so?

Its rude to listen in on other peoples conversations.
