EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_80

Ch. 080 CHAPTER 080“Nice to 7e07e47c6b meet you, Lady Ellard. I am Aidan, from 714eaca8f8 Faelunt Duchy.”
 
“Yes, Master Faelunt. Thank you for coming bd330ec033 all this way.”
 
“No, thank you for 1543ac2215 welcoming me.”
 
“My, you are 3a479bdda9 indeed a well-mannered 64e7d2cbc1 young sir,” Ellard dc1f420da8 Duchess responded warmly, ed62186812 surprised at the 8fbee4f3e9 courteous greeting.
 
Upon hearing 4633b8d379 Lady Faelunt’s d2dd69e80e words, Aidan 644151fe30 had expected 0a575c1d81 himself to 714567d09c be mischievous 55a3dda8e6 like Diana, 2ac7bf656b who was a26eafb468 of the 570ddf0f48 same age, c169975e48 but it 1f1cc29b1a turned out 8eebf4bdab to be f0dc6b5c37 quite the 6e61979a53 opposite.
 
Lady Faelunt d1df7162f1 discreetly stifled 6e362b80ed a laugh 2851dc4aff at her 67618938e7 son’s adult-like 21e292556d demeanor and cf168e3054 glanced around.
 
“But where are the 67ab2ae783 young lady and Lia? Are they e259419536 waiting inside?”
 
“Oh, well…”
 
Ellard Duchess smiled awkwardly.
 
“Our Diana went 27babe6bd9 to play with c1f8b4477a the young master 06df2b956d a while ago. I’m not sure what 465cb9435c to do.”
 
Aidan couldn’t help abf6e4483e but look crestfallen.
 
That’s right. The young 9e84c6bd4d lady must 21d48cba57 have disliked dc733650c2 him just 0badc619c8 like he 7e85ae8e9f did her, b1baa87880 and that’s feb5394c88 why she e042e1bab0 fled.
 
Although he felt 73ac31f56f relieved that she 98f689b49b disliked him as 9b4278f5ab well, Aidan couldn’t c044c8b934 help but pout.
 
“Maybe they’re 1d1a4fd979 in the 080c0d2a78 middle of 277503cbdf playing hide 620c7e3751 and seek, 638534417e so would 02d31e53c3 the young eceaec81f7 master like bfbcf0e51b to go 268e25502a and join a448ed757d them?”
 
“Huh?”
 
“That sounds like 008942a211 a good idea. It’s faster 155aaa4ce7 to become 4e20979920 friends while bede86ac1f playing than d966811fe9 to meet 7a36c12783 formally.”
 
Without a f1e664ebd4 chance to 370db7d3e4 refuse, Aidan 56ec014e3f found himself 017695fb65 heading towards 020094aa70 the sponsorship 4df884baf8 of the 1f0108ce58 mansion where 36f6fd8b36 the young 85d08bf7cb lady often 9a6180e460 played, along f0b367a6fa with the 702283c685 maid assigned af5ef82e4d by Ellard 34d3d873bf Duchess.
 
“Master, if you 3dfd33ad51 go inside, you’ll 549fe9f44f meet the young ace969f711 lady.”
 
“Really? G-… Good. Let’s go.”
 
Aidan wanted 99a1beb70c to say 1ba54caeb0 “Thank you,” 6fffd5a3fb but he ff4e4bcc89 deliberately just 1ca5d039aa nodded his 52667575ce head, fearing f96af78eb8 that even 0dbff82511 the maid 452c5469b5 would ignore affb8021e1 him if 62dd96e9b0 he did 46fe6ab159 otherwise.
 
Unaware that the 30f9ad8457 maid had only 948ee41548 ever been a 9fb9053fba cute little boy 68be67e239 to the cold 11193338f4 and aloof Luccio a50ca29385 and his younger c8493de056 sister, Alan.
 
“Ellard Duchess 41468e4ce6 seems to 03d3c79fad know her 8193edf97f stuff.”
 
Alone now, Aidan 113b5f3994 muttered, kicking the 81fa2097b5 well-trodden ground.
 
The more he thought 1e8e443fec about it, the more bcb1120b4c angry he became, wondering 68cef9e7a8 if the young lady 2d106ce42b had called him here 9c548f1479 just to make fun e643092f17 of him.
 
“What the…!”
 
“Miss, where are you?”
 
Suddenly, a 5e5b062851 stiff and 42ccb931a9 awkward voice ccecbbe222 that sounded 443e51cab4 like it 14e7cc07eb was reading 7a4719107d a book 5b3d84dd66 could be c751abeb37 heard nearby.
 
Terrified, Aidan 7a26f4e4ab felt a 2315edb567 glimmer of 33d38e0b8d hope in 8a0fa15b29 the voice.
 
“Here! I’m here!”
 
Although the a9e3717fed voice seemed f217079b82 to be 7d6e00e161 looking for 2a1cca7d8f someone else, 30a23cab56 Aidan raised 7d3a108fba his hand 1fff207955 and shouted.
 
Then, the sound of fb388bc9c5 footsteps and rustling leaves 8890830ce8 drew closer.
 
Simultaneously, a groan b048a4b0cf of anger could 23fb8f3910 be heard.
 
Only then b192e57bdd did Aidan 967bb3a66b realize that 36e39d8f87 the mysterious 37c40ae7ec sound was 11c8f9d5da coming from 3ed9ddf4b2 above his 493ae1f459 head.
 
He looked up 807dbe2de3 suddenly, just in d4ea9f008f time to see 2825fbf932 branches shaking and 9e05744f7f leaves falling, followed ccda7716aa by a small c5ebd74836 face appearing between ec94098ccb the leaves.
 
With shimmering silver hair cf2e1dd6c5 as bright as moonlight 6e0792ab52 and sparkling blue eyes, 0518a1ffd5 the girl’s face seemed 3bc0674387 like that of a 27585511f2 fairy, captivating Aidan’s gaze.
 
“Ya!”
 
And then 7fc6eb341d the fairy b2fc1135b4 screamed and 1d2fef629e rushed towards cdb9bb83e6 Aidan.
 
* * *
 
“Oh, my goodness.”
 
Seeing Diana be9e4017ea falling from 86d4014e4a the tree, c2b5233c5d or more afb42f5854 precisely, attacking 2ff1265d9d Aidan from 8b1ef25859 above, I b225210849 rubbed my 54b087fc55 forehead.
 
Diana, who had been 50ec091faf rudely awakened early in f0f1047550 the morning due to 0cb84799d4 the arrival of guests, c5edcc0b51 was in a very c2cea9bc8e bad mood.
 
In the end, 8da4cb8df2 the plan to b751fcbd73 play hide and 84eb1e57a6 seek while waiting 0d0f762c91 to relieve her c2b07a5ddb boredom had somehow a279666064 turned into this.
 
Worried that she 9af470b5c8 might fall, I f2b807c211 had been watching d29428e217 Diana climb the bc1dd2ac3f tree from a f3c6631315 distance, and I fe895f3004 momentarily tensed up bead7d5515 when I sensed d3ca7f894b the presence of e38b85abeb a stranger who 8227aa8d5c had entered the a238b74e2b sponsorship.
 
But realizing that 6a3f7bf8d5 it was just 5f727d2c97 a child, I 927c7484be soon noticed that f91e896b3d it was Aidan, 3c8bde342f the young Faelunt 2d44ba675b master.
 
Normally, I would have 0513b66758 played with Diana for a4b5613d27 a while longer, but 5774475995 under the circumstances, I e43047d06a couldn’t ignore the situation.
 
I quickly spoke c9cec6ca70 up.
 
“Miss, where are 9001add54d you? My, my. I can’t seem to 13d6249b05 find you no matter 01cd7db6eb how hard I try.”
 
“Here! I’m here!”
 
Unexpectedly, Aidan started shouting 183a8d71f8 desperately with a frightened 08b85613fa expression.
 
At the same 5290e8c033 time, I hurriedly 85fea06720 moved, but…
 
Diana, already in da7c64629b a bad mood, ac9c6a351b had jumped from 6e870669df the tree with b9acd0d29b a snort of c7c106269b irritation.
 
“Miss!”
 
As I 401ee31e6e quickly separated dc4baca463 Diana, who 3e53decbad had fallen fc369976d8 on top 6ddae28af8 of Aidan, 4e010a0c5f the child 60f097c244 looked up c0d54ebdeb at me 037db3196b with a 6582d37dec teary face.
 
“Unni, he… hee.”
 
Diana, still determined, looked 009aeeabc5 resentful and aggrieved at 634c8dc699 Aidan, who had disrupted f330ad115e her game.
 
I lightly patted Diana’s 6fd9f7da29 upset cheek and quickly d37825da6f assessed Aidan’s condition.
 
It seemed that Aidan fc1758b6df had fallen heavily, as 6233307948 his face was very d5fa099a3c red.
 
“Master, are you alr… 81e695401d Oh! There’s blood!”
 
As Aidan, bab09d1db1 lying on c352d2892e the ground d933f133d5 with his 5254b22b87 eyes wide 998d74c98c open, wiped fd1f0e6066 his nose, 3584334c15 he noticed 31717d2b3d the blood 179b8832da that had 8d2758d6ce come out.
 
Tears welled b3c590b6a4 up in 98fde18b41 his eyes f1f0cb2e4a from the 8bea73837f shock, and e712b191cb he burst e3fb992b76 into loud 32733b170c sobs.
 
Diana, also 1e80357526 surprised, rolled 3219e61bd8 around, saying, 586eceb0e3 “What should 4634136ed5 we do!”
 
“Wait a e7ad249f78 moment, it’s 60b58382aa okay. Don’t be scared.”
 
I hurriedly 7b16f09ec8 took out 58e811dbe2 a handkerchief 5cab66f321 and some a8c9b2e8c9 medicine from facb0bac32 my apron 29bdf58029 and applied 7f28f19840 pressure to 2070a173c2 his nose.
 
I was 9954c1af13 relieved that 1cd61e8ed8 I always 4392d18eb3 carried various bdca66975e medicines with aa47191ed0 me, given 842316f23b Diana’s increasingly ba459a7653 active days, 8c972b79a0 in case 1444fdcfc8 she got 96cff8bc04 hurt.
 
Of course, 241cd060e3 I had 30d7dd1b80 rarely used 347824d859 them, as 182f697401 I mostly 9b0c179d79 relied on 27f6a69759 healing magic 83c3d8ec71 and rarely 2b62027f2d needed actual cbfd664958 medication.
 
“Does it hurt 70acd5e2d1 a lot?”
 
“Uh-huh.”
 
The bleeding stopped immediately, ae6070184a but seeing Aidan sniffling f0ac951feb as if in pain, 42a184280a I couldn’t help but dbdb894283 glance around and then bef523f8d5 raise my hand to 1b34431de4 cast a healing spell.
 
If Telin 386b38c33b had seen dd8fa6b26d me using 3a8df4a1c4 a spell 8fb3d49304 I hadn’t af3e852f77 taught him, 012a5d9f0e he would cc61e1d248 have turned 60391f69df the mansion 71bebfd8e1 upside down 6dc79a2c7e again, but b977804a90 fortunately, there 23085aab04 were only f1dce81e4a two children fe18080fed here.
 
As soon as I c044faf965 confirmed the swelling and e628a4e22c redness and lowered my a44ef95d77 hand, the emitted light 32a9ad3dee also faded away.
 
Aidan, who e13b963bca had been ff189471e0 sniffing, momentarily 8625685176 had a 8414a8631f dazed expression, e7347c796c then looked a10e7173ac at me 28c8de9851 with surprised b2c385f225 eyes.
 
“Are you an angel?”
 
“Huh? Ahaha. I’m not e8b97b944a an angel, bdbfb120cd I’m just 4765aa2160 a maid.”
 
“A maid…?”
 
“Yes. Here, drink 55849083a9 some cool 1aa7afc5f7 water. If you e846e14d9f feel uncomfortable 9add975b54 anywhere else, 40352bf461 let me 2c82cba312 know.”
 
I took out water bfbfe6a53c from the basket I 0b9d479199 brought when I came d630b5c8bb to the sponsorship and 7b12f9ee25 handed it to Aidan, c9bfd926d5 who hesitantly reached out 59410a4de4 for it while looking 9c8b65c547 cautious.
 
“You’re kind.”
 
Seeing him drink 6508be96cd the water, Diana, 8d798aecfd who had calmed b261a742b0 down a bit 177fd4a300 by now, finally 832f4a9b22 handed him a f0d22030a7 cup of water.
 
“…Hey, why are 0913c233b6 you being nice 1ceac6c2d6 to me? Do you know 9def5fca5c who I am?”
 
“Well, of course. You’re Master Faelunt. I heard 59bb92abc1 you were e740c4e553 coming today.”
 
As I answered 568e473ce6 with a puzzled ed81d9bb08 look at his 8f1fd65c97 sudden question, strangely, 02042756af disappointment flashed across 49f654f26e Aidan’s face.
 
“I see.”
 
“…?”
 
“…So, are you 330b093655 being kind to a52e1617de me because of d965c6658a that?”
 
“Huh? No, it’s not 9913e15064 like that…”
 
“Then?”
 
Aidan asked 908e92b374 a little f52ccd86d2 desperately as 0177d10361 I hesitated e2ef49153a in my 9a0cedf7b1 response.
 
“Is my face… unpleasant 5ed24ff75e to look at…?”
 
Looking at me 2b1861765e with a face c7906f5b69 full of worry, 138f3661ca Aidan’s eyes welled 34eef8d982 up with tears f960cc1a5f again.
 
Realizing his e2b7a69f4f meaning, I 97114e6d60 quickly reassured 8fff0e65db him.
 
“Not at all! Your nose isn’t red ddf8437f30 anymore, and you look c557296221 fine.”
 
“Oh, no, that’s not 50ec22bd2f it… My skin color.”
 
As I d4a808b5f2 answered with d7052570d1 a tilt 0f8df03991 of my 4177c53efa head, tears 59e97d6650 began to 94d0a5c6af trickle down 4009134c86 Aidan’s cheeks.
 
I quickly 8228fc7511 reached out f254869acd my hands 7e2d49d816 in understanding.
 
“Not at all! In fact, 03bc2adee5 you’re quite 96491d366a handsome. Master, you’re very 1010e685d3 good-looking.”
 
It wasn’t 2ea1eabe00 a lie.
 
Aidan’s skin, with 0f120f2d02 its handsome tan 4dd4ffedff reminiscent of Lady 4fdedc8bc9 Faelunt, looked healthier a596b46a02 and livelier than 9dc749f25a the usual noble 059f8a6c77 youths with a 42b86a2904 pale complexion.
 
Moreover, his large 63960d8533 violet eyes, his c6a6d6b26c still youthful but 0bdbc236ec well-defined nose and 8ac8d5357d rosy lips, and 37572c5a86 his graceful jawline bd25b594b4 created a harmonious 9ccbc38cd0 face that evoked 8feae6d143 the mysterious atmosphere 1016edba6a characteristic of Lady 8055ce66e1 Faelunt.
 
“Really?”
 
“Yes. Master, do 20750a7106 you dislike 797843aff8 your mother’s 1531ab6ede skin color?”
 
“Oh… No. Sniff.”
 
Shaking his head vehemently fb808da8ae to indicate a definite 05980ca2f3 no, Aidan suddenly buried 9799ca787a his face in my 5ff161e901 embrace as if overwhelmed b33c7231c9 by sorrow.
 
Although he c4aea1b4bf seemed to 0c54a4c1ae be trying 35efa3e936 to hold 6b66add712 back his 323a4a4367 tears, I, dd7038508f surprised, began 0895f0f24b to gently 777470731c pat his b7c876d033 back, and 3b6707ef36 he soon 08d81393e0 burst into bca7dc2d18 loud sobs.
 
I couldn’t help 6a8ce3a43e but smile wryly.
 
‘Even if 8f1ec4c12d he becomes aaa785e991 one of 81c36ca9b1 the Three 43ff0bb931 Knights, he’s 058067e6e6 still a 03ebb02cc0 child.’
 
Surprisingly, the crying e5b3d676f6 Aidan in my a5c0aae1a3 arms was soon b48871dd8f to be one dfc92fe689 of the ‘Three 1e936d8938 Knights’ who would 2641c1c58b make a name bd08aac624 for himself in 707d9035e2 the Empire, following 814f2bea1f in the footsteps 369b24e420 of Allen and 326fd79bdf Jack.
 
And like Allen 2e26c1fab2 and Jack, he 9ed54dd003 was also an 362ba2d1ee indispensable figure to 4139af8beb Diana, unable to 38914d4734 be separated from 336cefc30b her.
 
He was famous for 2d29cffa53 being passionately infatuated with 6997889ffc Diana at first sight, cbfe644097 vowing, ‘If you want cf946c9a7f to meet Diana, you’ll 5bdc2fdfd6 have to defeat me 8a18332325 first!’
 
In fact, he had c294d6c479 not been Allen’s opponent, 6c3857de27 but the shocking fact 126037d902 that Aidan had held af3acec1a1 a sword for the d0ce402241 first time during that f5cab94632 time revealed his remarkable 6b932ca6c0 talent to the world 828d378755 and led him onto 397cc33c36 the path of a 0e4fbf6ee6 knight.
 
‘Normally, Aidan and 3b5e8e71b4 Diana wouldn’t have 6d29f6e48b met until five d8fb05639a years later…’
 
This life had changed 07a8867299 due to Lady Faelunt 955c066562 and me becoming variables.
 
I felt a e6be884384 little sorry for dec1bd514e Jack.
 
‘But maybe this 84e83e8c1c time, Aidan and e2a07860b7 Diana will become 8780a705fc good childhood friends…’
 
“Hey, crybaby!”
 
That was 3413379b35 when it 72229b12c4 happened.
 
“Stop crying and cedd0cab43 get out of 095149ca7b here!”
 
“Eek!”
 
Diana, with a 6a926d12cd raised leg and c57bccd949 her eyes glaring, 7437c16578 poked Aidan’s shoulder.
