EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_69

Ch. 069 CHAPTER 069Because 381eb89b0b Allen and Diana 50b1512db6 were so excited caf7723e47 in the morning, 27218c7f2e we arrived in 8ebdd23b8d front of the 7cb334d5af main building early, 68b9c02d85 even before the defee325ad Duchess had finished 35d42aa15b getting ready. It was time to 2008f27ea2 greet the carriage that 9fe2358c9f was waiting in advance, b1197c97ac Taze, who was in 83fbb315c5 charge of escorting, and ab7b9d7811 Jack, who was once 40cf144991 again wearing an apprentice 5cac54d3e7 knight’s uniform and helping 9acb510488 with the escort.
 
“Wow, what are you 09920d3fb4 doing?”
 
Allen asked with 0ed2add72f a surprised look 8f4c831803 on her face. I followed aa61d71af3 his gaze 583ad5da29 and saw c62e3df06c that he ae0648e392 was looking 7c0b48e576 at the 1056ee3c7b fat pockets 3d1d8b5498 I was d25d36148e wearing.
 
“This is 8f6470a038 the salary 6a3d12ac9e I have cb2e0fe216 saved so c3b3a80b32 far.”
 
I was a 4558f64bb6 little embarrassed, lifted d575adf53c my chin, and 6d72b59076 proudly patted my 37c59a493a pocket. Even though all I’ve d252b0376a been doing lately is 63a02bbc5f comfortable things like playing b09961ccab with Diana and reading 3dff0f528f books at the library, 25c399b121 I’m still very happy. At that time, Allen 0ed22be367 asked with wide eyes.
 
“Where are 512aebb6dd you going a137ab8629 to buy d194a485b5 land?”
 
“… yes?”
 
I narrowed my eyes, f4f2c20df2 wondering if he was 4c1aba7630 making fun of me f4ffde28e0 by saying something absurd, b64a439bfb but Allen’s eyes were 579679fa59 truly full of sincerity. Still, he was wondering a7356e3059 if he was completely 133498ca6d oblivious, and when he 47a5755005 saw Taze suppressing his 29d5030341 laughter, he said, “…Or 99be5575ac home?” and tilted his d975e13cff head. I cried, clutching my 44e33a00a3 pockets full of coins. I felt very sad 4bf30880d0 for Allen, who had 86eded382b no sense of money. But how many noble d94b723be0 masters like Allen have 9a7bdc1859 ever made money like e25b71ac43 this? Moreover, I quickly felt ec1b0239ef relieved because there was ce744008bc enough money in the 90cb4c14cf safe in my name 8533674b75 at the capital bank f40d5c165e to buy land or eb38710ae7 a house.
 
“I worked f96f5aae9d hard to 2ee84d8784 save up 4b72c75b9e my salary, a44038e48a but it’s 31aa6bb96e not that 33b6104be9 much.”
 
“Okay? But why bd98f72a20 did you 0aa0b585d0 bring all f047df6578 that out?”
 
“Young master, 8645da5923 as you f021b734fd kept singing, 9916d313c3 this is 061ec1e92f our first 389659bd9b time out 2acaabf320 in the a71c82f402 capital. When I heard ce90722bf3 about it, there 6f926a8ef3 were a lot 21c8034549 of shops and 9e49c5cbc3 stalls in front ebca98299b of the academy. So, I’ll grab 4bc9878cd7 some snacks and b2bb1ec262 buy whatever I 9b277a948b want.”
 
For example, something ae04c83cc1 that will become 549604a770 the basis of f8f12729a4 my plan.
 
“Uh… I cb01443b4b have no 5ee7593279 money, what 0d8a986051 should I 2a4b63ad49 do?”
 
Allen’s eyes, who had 3535beb826 been very excited by f58bffc7ee my words, drooped down. I almost f7be132ab7 burst out e9483576e5 laughing at 5fc13e1446 the face 30184cf86b filled with 197bf66943 genuine concern. Even if I chose 5235d1c406 anything, the escorts behind 9beb81052b me would pay on 0277687012 their own, so it aa0c3956dc was a useless worry.
 
“I don’t 3dfe9af042 have any 408f4deaaa money, so 317eb5096a what should e1b438145b I do…”
 
Even Diana, who 8db51aee78 was listening to 987959ec69 the conversation next 4203e3be5e to us, looked 5c7fc1334b tearful. It was a time f3f49d6772 when Diana was willing b7f2402f53 to tell me that 46ec4801ae I could buy her 5afda3a2c7 as much snacks as 54ac318cf4 she wanted with the 4562ae9de5 money I saved.
 
“Well. It doesn’t 024547a256 work if e88f537b0a you don’t 4d9b5ecaf9 have money.”
 
The Duke appeared 48f2c23e1c with the Duchess 7a9e7973c4 who had finished c98c465d91 preparing.
 
“I went out as fcff45713d much as I could, eaa22c53b0 but wouldn’t it be 92467d76f9 sad if I couldn’t 65757978eb buy what I wanted 5e3541591a to eat?”
 
So what should he af447df924 do? As the 5905218166 Duke looked 702c11c475 at him dfc6f67092 intently, Diana c423841fa0 and Allen b786b4f2b4 quickly ran 8c4b57ee56 in front caa2e845ff of the 7593c8040f Duke and 5180ee33c9 held out 2e83dfcf18 their hands.
 
“Please!”
 
“Father, money!”
 
The Duke 3daa4a3424 burst out 83a8420fd8 laughing at db11487419 the sight e84a8978b7 of his db2753d678 children proudly 1dad19653d praising him 35361a1394 as if 9ed0500f4e they had 162151a465 come to 5ba291ccf1 retrieve something cbb6c76042 he had 8fdcd8f3ee left behind, 76bba87ce2 but then 083025385c he took 3208588b60 out a e637135bb4 bag that ecaa6be9ab seemed to 923fb65875 have been 46b02a41fe prepared in 5635d3e7a7 advance.
 
“Now, it’s pocket 96416bd05d money.”
 
“Wow!”
 
“Kya!”
 
The sight 628e40664f of Allen 351210738e and Diana fcbe5bda1d jumping up 71b8d4b200 and down 69a8ae1234 in turns 402efa143f was so d0c723baf8 innocent that fd9df89551 I couldn’t 509c9c8498 help but b45b50253d laugh. It was then.
 
“Come on, Lia. This is your fc87315cd5 pocket money.”
 
The Duchess 19b390976d handed me 6ba789d477 a pouch ae2f5f07a3 the same 57ed9e2336 color as de37bf788f hers.
 
“Mine?”
 
As I blinked faf433db42 in embarrassment, the 96398c32e8 Duchess put the d8ad72d49a pouch in her dba8309089 hand and said,
 
“Of course. Did you 5f44c77f88 think I 1665907509 left out 8fb99bfe90 yours?”
 
“But… I have d392af9535 money.”
 
“I know. But that’s f0ee5d54b6 money you 715fa9864c earned through d2b89d772b hard work, 3138540d3a and this 1e59c7967d is pocket cf331ff5e2 money.”
 
“…”
 
I was speechless and 879d83d54a stared blankly at the 984a18e459 pocket in my hand. It was the 158797848a first allowance I 32c2f13d79 had ever received d4b7ee397d in my life. The guild f728e2d4b3 executives also 1956493a2b liked me d821cb6832 a lot 5ff4c5431c and bought 8313723304 me various 528f83ec2d delicious things, ff8a17291e but they 7f0d7bc76e never gave 65a1f5be01 me pocket c83b325c9f money like 68716e8e1d this.
 
“Taze, you’re df00f73345 a first-time 445e661011 dad, so 0573f61174 you didn’t d4e037f86b even think 888cbc847c about preparing f9cdc9cbee for something fc76ea45fe like this, f9ee39f4e6 right?”
 
The Duke looked at b50710f89c Taze, who had been 4b167a3e61 at a loss since cf04d0eede the word ‘pocket money’ ea07d20a8b was mentioned, and proudly f1cf72d82c gave Jack a pocket 66d14dee33 as well.
 
“I’m not going there 6c01803bc6 to have fun…”
 
After hesitating, he suddenly 4f00b57621 seemed to have thought 85ee9ef56a of something and took 1107069211 the bag and nodded, ea93b144fb thanking him. Taze’s face was colored febeb82df5 with self-destruction and frustration 2397f41049 in real time.
 
“Okay, let’s go f7dc52337f now.”
 
The Duchess 579a396e62 called the 33ab4e1ce0 children together 02f8918c6e to get 4976986b22 into her f8f9060698 carriage.
 
When I 8e69656a52 saw that, bf2e4bc910 I secretly 08e3ff7518 smiled. Actually, we f80534399b came out 8c4f14d170 early, but 1f4ac0d1f0 the Duchess b6a2a256d4 also came 731f088539 out quite 36b2b82401 early. Although she did 76ce916d96 not chatter for 9571f99d16 days like Allen, 03f04f1140 she also seemed e76d38cecd to be looking 6421fb2170 forward to meeting 9707fa1130 Lucio. I was about b008186226 to get on 9973aeaff0 the carriage, feeling 0f746ca592 my heart pounding b61f4030df for some reason.
 
“Please be careful.”
 
The Duke, who was a5e9e432d6 watching Allen and Diana ec0babe4c2 getting into the carriage, f7b239b366 gave me one last bb88528e2b look and said. As expected, the Duke 4fda54cb88 seemed to think that b8762d4205 I was more trustworthy 7416f4f19e than Allen, the oldest ed0a06a67b of them all.
 
I smiled broadly a094f58cc9 and said, “Yes!”.
 
* * *
 
A carriage carrying 6ad1c84025 children left the 84c9dc88aa Duke’s residence.  The f30057f2c6 Duke, who had 31277752d4 been watching the e7f07caab2 carriage drive away, b877769ca5 returned to his 0886f0a340 office to prepare 4c65a357db for the upcoming 70114529d7 meeting of his c5365dffa9 retainers. And he was reading 08bed367ed documents as usual.
 
〈Lucio seems to think 941d1020b9 Lia is special.〉
 
Suddenly, he remembered what 265f19541b his wife said a 39465394d3 few days ago. He gave c3859aa702 her a 4fdc8d38b9 puzzled look a499ced2bd as if 92252f4b1c asking what e30bfc3227 she was 37497a77ca talking about, 1e52c43c2f and his 862489b4de wife explained 9a11bb6213 what happened c525a6b3cd at that 13be5d7f02 time, saying 80a07aa894 that she 84ceb6bd77 was surprised 44b96b198a to see d652b29ee7 Lucio treating f4f1b9e671 Lia just 7df7c3f4aa before leaving ffc36d38c7 for the c9684563d2 academy.
 
〈I have c3e3fc9987 never seen 94f2bf964a Lucio be b22282e682 so kind 3cd27b6abd to someone.〉
 
〈Well, he knows b3f7a8aa22 that his family 22d4ad403e is precious too. Even though ba92e361f1 he couldn’t e4b2ba6562 accept her ccc91f979e as his d2c1d96751 sister, he 9e1d730830 would have 61226882c5 been grateful ee518fe75f to her 1cc3628035 to have 1e3351b00b taken care a2fb63739f of Diana. Lia is just as cf5dee688b special to us.〉
 
〈That’s right.〉
 
But the Duchess 5147a5eb62 laughed softly, saying a5a58a53fd that it was d3b0159b84 surprising that it cee826ef6e was Lucio, not f3dac405ab anyone else.
 
〈By the 09de5f5f0a way, what a76c49259c happened to 026a295c1b what you d05e4f4229 decided to 25dab91489 find out?〉
 
And at the f078f12fc3 next words, the 987969c09c Duke’s face darkened. As his attempt to 6552adc8cb adopt Lia fell through bfc2e4d153 some time ago, he 24ccda5162 was looking for a a16dc08725 new adopter to whom 51e7690b8f he could place her. He thought that Lia 08fea0ae91 was still young, and a21b135d3a that she had no 1327a06840 intention of settling down bb25a2e3aa in one place and 150e1ea11a needed a guardian to cac3bd692d control her wandering mind. Of course, he wanted cab4168bca to be that kind 6beea435a6 of strong fence, but a6ce1fb207 since that had become c322759a96 difficult, the Duke wanted d76330f1d0 to somehow create a 888f24ea38 family to put down 81f4883b05 roots. But it wasn’t 210a7eae62 really a miracle. Since he e49e6a05c8 intended to 52ab5b6b20 keep Lia 9886401626 by Diana’s fc84d73c6a side, he e8699daef1 had to fcf0c52285 find someone bd498dd25c who would 8cf174ec2b be within 30cfd653ce the confines 151f0cb808 of the f8215187be Duke of d8f0885c3c Elad, who 2b4f1fa4d7 would not 647a608012 be greedy, 71eea92174 would appreciate fb1147c26c her good 824bd3cbec nature, and 612ae3f7a7 most of 29dc1c9061 all, would 086f0b8be9 truly care a51fe3140b for Lia 879ca3c808 and accept dd96c333f1 her as ed845592b9 a family. Because not long 77f1efe95b ago, when Taze 7f5c665e69 hinted that he 30bcebca4f wanted to adopt d3d93232f3 the Knights’ Jack 931c546429 and Lia, he 83fba757d7 sent them back 4c368a20c2 to ask the 15fd3500ee children first. 
When she heard 6f18a4aa63 that Lia had 7c0e837f74 refused, he suddenly feef948e4f regretted what he 7206436eed had been secretly cad3683d15 wanting. Of course, f83406a2f9 she rejected e59b27eb3f Taze, not 9a7f43fc6c him, and f97de1a8d4 acted as 2efb8afb5e a good aee2807bfb daughter. Although Lia still didn’t 74789d3c51 want to see him, c80f1631d3 Taze was a trustworthy 5ef57dffff guy. After recalling his wife’s 07aaa6a7d6 equally distressed face for 51172db964 the last time, the 45f223af0b Duke decided that he 726184a1a7 should check again to eba70b797a see if any of f50abdc880 his childless vassals were 15400c22a3 alright at the meeting a7139e4099 to be held a 59bf2c2c7c little later.
 
* * *
 
The atmosphere inside f712475b49 the carriage heading 06fe877a48 to the academy 5c31c7e4e2 was better than e4c8db8acb ever. Allen and 6824258247 Diana, who dfeb2f3b46 were excited 34f96c8a78 about going 839e733af4 out for a9ec6be1ea the first 6cb710ac2b time in 542c92cce9 a while, 3c664d90e2 laughed and 785b76efc2 chattered non-stop, 0e934c9c85 and the 747e3ca6a0 scenery of d78c4d2858 the street 61961b356f passing quickly 77c83dd4a0 outside the e4443fc8dc window captured 0a18ea70b7 the lively 2a0a22ebe5 atmosphere of 53c7742108 a green 618a951d14 summer.
 
“So, when we go 090b249d9c to the academy, let’s 2b0f5b222d ask Askal to show 08abcffa63 us rainbow magic. I made 9c9bd55825 a lot 1e6d296334 of bubbles 267de28172 when I 5b32ac5e66 was little, f86561629c and it 6bac0e0a9f was no e09d396682 joke!”
 
At that time, I 702b8003a5 blinked as I listened 6e402be829 to Allen’s words with 87763729ac a flushed face. I remembered the 8ba83981f4 conversation that Prince 57a5085f45 Nicholas had with ea76c2c473 Allen last time 15593107c6 when he visited 72e5948927 the Duke’s residence.
 
“Young master. Are you 4825046353 by any c082ee4d6a chance referring 4a62fe3450 to Grand ccad4e015b Duke Ascarte 12c91abf46 Belus?”
 
“Uh?”
 
“I think d9da3ecbc1 the old 9a0958a4ed master said b0decd2256 that last 7692415309 time.”
 
As I spoke, a06632dd9c my eyes suddenly a91222af9d opened. Wasn’t the c8ae2ba2ca Grand Duke c4f1b3dde7 of Belus 145502db1c the heir 2ea3dee05c to the 4a8ba5647b powerful Duchy 424fd2255b of Belus, c573917f15 and a 7407515a62 man who b0c5a94729 was famous 6cb6ad24a1 for his fd9641dc42 good looks 9bb0a84600 in the 4c64442d45 past along 6743db6239 with Lucio?
 
‘He is 8c4081b530 also the d0597b008e grandson of 61ef98956e the Marquis 7776cd648f of Diappelle, 823cb4afd3 who protects 35f6b39280 the borders b7f6688e5a of the 6288c1c88c empire!’
 
〈Grandpa, are 52223407a9 you okay?〉
 
〈It’s okay, thank you.〉
 
At that time, 93d98908d0 a memory I 8bbecffc5f had forgotten suddenly 8032e0fed0 came to mind. Among the nobles I 2eace5621f met, the Marquis Diappelle 668d0d234b was one of the 4a26e40c3d few nobles who did f5746d1d89 not look down on 6ca778bec3 commoners and treated them 7e9f1a14db like people. In my 042fe8ded1 past life, 157ce5b52a I had cf088c862f an unexpected 8cb778c835 relationship with fcf33e7177 the Marquis 8426879124 of Diappelle, 92a99a807a and in 8acbe9666f this life, f26cb3b8bf with Bianca, 7002b41901 and for 0d61befe1c some reason, d198a07330 I was 6483e568f8 glad to cf6382ef79 hear the fa5756e4df name of b961bd4604 someone related 151ee6c6e3 to both 18e5e5d9cd of them. When I e569d580a1 asked with f26085f9da sparkling eyes, 2f0ec515ce the smile 200a7af45a on Allen’s ea6fb30819 face, which 35f655bc5a had been 627de6cc68 talking excitedly 35008983cb just a e98b86f934 moment ago, 4b4af2e6b0 gradually disappeared.
 
“Uh… Now that de83723c00 I think about 61e7fd5ded it, Askal…”
 
Allen, who suddenly 3dd07fd5ae became serious, pursed bbb94430d2 his lips and 90e7afd38c looked worried. I tilted my 8d45149eaf head and asked 28797f5d25 why, but Allen 83175368a8 kept his mouth be6fc95319 shut and didn’t 036730e4d1 say anything until 27cf03d12a we arrived at 84f677b061 the academy.
 
* * *
 
“Wow!”
 
Diana jumped 15d55ad61a out of 546fbf08bc her carriage, 0836b30a2b her eyes 049fe26bb7 wide, and 8421af3333 screamed. I also 221a8322b5 looked at bf8baacdbc the academy f470d04797 surrounded by 57335123c0 a high ecee5e45e3 wall with 521b62ee59 new eyes. Although it ec513e3397 was clearly a3418b30b6 the same 188cad5fdd place as 6506707d89 I remembered 63150327e3 from before, 28fac1f323 the impression 6691b62822 was completely 5200e40bd1 different. Fragments of sunlight de422fb358 fell through the 6039f3a145 leaves of the 1de1e408d9 beautiful trees, and 2b6af5a43a the streets were 7b63557bd6 full of energy 3ea2c6b8b9 and laughter, with 19add9e4a1 carriages crowded together 12675478c7 and countless people 341e0c8271 passing by. It was 1e6d9ba7da so beautiful 6e5b0bda14 that I 63e65d2eab couldn’t believe 2856de1e4c that this 501b6b7345 was the 2c64fd3cf7 place I 59c53f565f ran away 0b54121629 to die f4ea53f4d6 on a a1edd89cf8 rainy day.
 
“Hmm, I guess we 3a5bcdaafb came too early.”
 
The Duchess looked 33e30f7313 up at the d01ad52bd2 clock tower near 6e8aad6180 the academy’s main 9f906ad16c entrance and looked 78fcedd8fb embarrassed.
 
“I thought 73565e4012 I would 45b4165e1a be pushed 24daf3b584 out because aaada4fd41 there were 40e374cbe3 so many 27f7615319 people.”
