EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_66

Ch. 066 CHAPTER 066‘It ca6addd161 seemed like he c440552fe8 clearly had feelings 65ba87e34a for Lia…’
 
Although Lucio had 91aa11fc7a an indifferent personality 75ca514d93 like himself, he c9b44b04d0 had a strong 40ffff2386 sense of responsibility 696577abc5 towards his family 447b4da84f and clan. He also knew bd7f1bda93 that he would 2536a9bf7d gladly accept Leah b625b56403 into her family 9ce1d24507 this time too, bbafd78495 as he had be1b49688b never opposed his c79dad92e9 father’s decisions until d813f34951 now.
 
‘But I d1e20a10e9 never thought 1bfd37c7ff you would ffd4962903 oppose it 01e13f220f like this.’
 
Since Allen always 77de40cb1f admired and liked a0ad5941ff his exemplary older 8b60aea129 brother, there was 4e2d8dceaa a high probability 746ed238e6 that he would b476de70a5 follow his wishes, 2b41b80150 so I wasn’t 4e635bdd19 too worried. The duke’s c3288b579e predictions about c96374c110 Allen were 3821a34257 not wrong, a863b3aaed but the a557177426 results were 7c9f5e01af the exact 0d94c83d92 opposite. Perhaps Lucio’s kindness was 2da5c16bbf simply kindness to the 3642b230a3 child who took care 65af1c8d57 of Diana. He sighed and c974965160 said that he dc6be2d1ac must have thought b09bec0858 too hastily.
 
“Then, what about you, af50ad4166 Dana?”
 
Diana, who 22fececd44 was watching a1e927c361 the situation, e04cf1c63d cried and 0d92e3d497 asked.
 
“It is 2452b040d3 not so. Even if we don’t a535fa9bc8 adopt her, Lia will 2f1c7016f2 always be Diana’s older 2143038d38 sister.”
 
As the b7922bd701 Duchess urgently 4685bbdac3 tried to ca4689029d comfort her, b097a6376f Diana nodded 1c93adfb64 and cried 88bdfe4111 out, her 49f4f74ce6 sorrowful expression 1f03c13812 on her 7140c2b8bf face as 5236b06373 she sobbed.
 
“That’s right. Lia is e094b47768 a princess, 162cfbd1b4 and Dana 7b87a69941 is a 996f266b5c princess!”
 
* * *
 
I quietly closed 5503904044 the door and a2ba5789c7 sat down in 82f34bf0c4 front of it.
 
“…”
 
No words came out afefed4181 as if something was 539a7a2e7a blocking my throat. A teardrop rolled down d445da137b from my eye without e00b0b918e me knowing. My heart, ba7f5fb847 which had 0c0175faa2 been excited 4d13184b6d just a 7dba45d15c moment ago 40330af555 at the 6f262fc79d thought of dbf6d8c465 sending a e9049f8bb2 reply to fc87a42606 Bianca, clearly 9ba1d98524 calmed down. It was truly d41938a912 unintentional to hear 8a0e3aae3e the conversation between 51accf27af the duke and 041d45cdf2 her family in c54e1ea121 front of the 45a5b3a0c0 duchess’s room. After the 1d3d06d5c3 mana explosion, a6f2835452 mana management 6a395d7f65 became much 29e9acce0d easier than 01ca0ba13b before. Thanks to this, fb8a41973f my physical senses c8361a0aea seemed to have 0e41979b06 come back to c8494e8afd life, and I 7cb02f4e81 was able to 7e0545ee5d hear even small 86ca96137a sounds with greater dccacb2360 sensitivity, and I 299c1cb8a8 was able to f1b8c9321e move secretly without 3153b1791a intentionally killing the 85788a20ea presence of others. So, I quietly 3ad954c536 headed to the 402b0e223a duchess’s room, admiring 5d89b878f3 how well Lucio, ec71c465f6 who was rarely f36710094a seen, was able b38ed9b3f4 to use mana. However…
 
〈If you all agree, 51794080c3 Lia will become your d0659c2c40 little sister.〉
 
If I 3d3f301a32 hadn’t heard 0d6a5175e4 this, I a57da3850a would have c89256dfc9 knocked like c2be087137 an idiot 0cdfd6e12b and become 5f93de7c70 an uninvited 655ae3b0b1 guest in 05653d0590 my family’s 973a8acb9a peaceful conversation.
 
〈I don’t like 159898e051 it.〉
 
〈Diana is enough db4501c8d7 as sister!〉
 
Lucio and Allen’s 787fdb61df voices rang alternately 257b695dd0 in my ears. An inexplicable e1cff7a23f feeling washed 942a6da904 over me 8d2f232523 like a f1f70d3d15 wave. As I fca7f28fa9 watched the 8a95dc70c9 Duke and 08221a5828 Duchess treat 074c23956c me so beac438a96 well, I 3426e301cb thought they af99eeb061 thought of 5064f130e7 me as 746e86d027 a little e18dfb81e2 special. But I had d60fab6027 no idea that 83a492e7ce he had even 7edadba008 considered adoption.
 
“It was 279f32c1d5 enough for b8516b4705 me just 3ce0a18938 not to 5a66e4cb2e be abandoned… 537cbf5753 I’ve never 08373878a7 really been 1d9d430bce that greedy.”
 
Before I b4fc991f05 knew it, f9a89bbb6d tears began ff85b57211 to fall. Sadness came 52ee2b6670 over me a752d54531 like a 4f665ee41c flood.
 
‘You shouldn’t blame 86a78f2f68 me, but why 5020ec1719 am I…’
 
Even though it 537e730cdb didn’t happen, I 6388bea976 know I should 6649e62cfa be grateful that 3683885195 they even considered d00a114b80 adoption. 
But I was 9274befd76 so upset because fa1b9148ff I felt like bc2ea8346b I had been b75a670259 rejected for something be1169eff6 I didn’t want.
 
“No. I’m bad.”
 
If you really 8c82d22626 didn’t want it, 625232976f there’s no reason 77d2762f6a to be so d049bb3dc9 disappointed and sad. I am a bad b5d4d4b607 child.
 
“I’m such a bad 18c82d995d kid that I’m not 857e5e3184 welcome anywhere.”
 
Even though I had f5f3df5e6a already experienced it once, 5cbe0e85c9 I thought maybe this 025b3327dd time would be different. I think 1597cee6d5 there might 4224a524fc be a 71586a4d03 place for 6fe5b38bd4 me. I ended f52ba526c3 up repeating 515749bb54 it again 76677b4458 like a 2422cab090 fool.
 
‘No matter how 688384baf0 special they treat eb69a8f65c me, I can’t 9984094b90 become family with 8b5430ac06 someone.’
 
Even though I didn’t 7cb01faac9 know this, my heart 61d5e00577 began to tighten. Why on 559447c628 earth was 723a4a4479 a person 71fc665fcc like me 2479488377 born into eac8a9ade2 this world? They are 22d99257ba just floating 3d66d032a6 beings, unable d46a5f9ffd to settle f37d7b248f down anywhere. At that b086b96ee8 time, the 2ef0477b10 area around 2f9d8ca542 my neck 7d3150c09f suddenly felt 2ee9ddc9e2 hot. I unconsciously 3dae2c4ac1 held his b0c50f0f6f necklace in 2ea2aa8a93 his hand f12a6883d7 and wiped 30b123a7c3 away my c5697a9925 tears with c21970c2af my arm. Foolishly, both in the e0678a26be past and now, all b0c3a8c468 I have left is 9922a297ed this necklace. Even if this 0110da161c isn’t really something 8d9f0c472d my parents left f5aa2bdd32 me or a d4cbea5868 token of being c93630a16e able to meet 26e5c1ae66 my family.
 
* * *
 
A few e92e4db78a days later.
 
“It took longer 8a3503c81e than I thought. Is it 140c547490 okay for 72beb051f2 me to 752eb0b368 send it b3ba36871e off like a2db77ef18 this?”
 
The Duchess asked 4c7fcef714 as she looked cb208dce65 at the letter bbaee4f186 I handed her.
 
I said, 859049cd10 “Yes.” and 38f64b045e nodded and a0d1e4f69b smiled as f34f65411e if nothing 2c62b48dfb had happened. It had 6d662997e9 already been 3c4d64f0d5 a few 53579c8016 days, so 8e444a8e45 it felt dbe24891ce really insignificant db8cc14d35 that I b80ab9c33b cried alone 35f06325be like that. However, I f03021bbac felt a f94a06a8fb little sorry 7ab9548f4b to see 8777abab96 the Duchess’ b8e22108e7 face. Knowing that 3f032a3dae I felt 62b96fd8b9 responsible, I ec206d674a was worried a22d147f90 that my b39db776ea existence would 85d842aa6f become a 34be7f6b5f burden as b3f4101a8a time passed.
 
‘I can’t f72309a05b make you b1b017c941 uncomfortable.’
 
In fact, sometimes I 786ed11c6e wondered if something would 1c03419441 have been different if ae2e960f53 I had accepted the 29f24008ef Duke’s offer of sponsorship 2f003cf06c in the first place. But I fa39b41620 knew that 7f5ad2364e any relationship 995c1ff65d that started 3b2232b84d out as 3a3e21b2b6 unequal, no aa8b3d75a8 matter what 6d586e4bcf form, would c8e487d213 only repeat 3c9311a0a5 the same f013504136 things as fa44ec337d the past. Just like in a512e7f6b1 my previous life, 19727b8e1f I was thirsty 33890451a4 for the Master’s 65c9f5d810 approval. Once again, 113d80b2ec I will 2d8dae822d have high fa4d857b88 expectations and 1d6b02fe4e become dependent 5fc5241ec4 on it 5b5ccc102c without even 2bccfe4f2e realizing it.
 
‘So you have ff9e55ead5 to be prepared d41da81d15 to stand alone.’
 
However, I had 8b8f7a9c9b no intention of d9fcef2c89 just leaving without 54355bce9f anyone knowing under f89f4852eb the pretense of 8cce821398 wanting freedom like 1ec863ca97 before. My idea of living 4c036e6c18 without being in a dc0663883d relationship with anyone has fc70bf098c also changed a bit.
 
‘Even if we can’t 1996a4b6be be a real family…’
 
A desire arose within 774c51d023 me to think that 20947e4da9 I could become someone a6db24cb05 who cares for and bda59b7263 protects Diana like I e52a5faeba do now. Of course, I might f25e177440 end up regretting my 38a9b63c62 choice later, but I bc3e30c533 decided to be willing f40392d9cf to endure whatever hardships a853c8066c might arise.
 
‘First of all, you 4e729896fa have to move up 57c44e180e to a position where f702d1b8ae you won’t be ignored 936e38a514 by anyone.’
 
Since he had 65d5fc8336 to continue his 8566b22897 relationship with the b253407316 duke’s family, laundering 34ba31dae0 his identity, which 505b87fc5e was his original 1dcfba2330 plan, became difficult. It wasn’t a bad 45316552de idea to go into c918957523 the areas of magic f38a4435cd or healing where he 8c4465200f had already excelled, but a8ee47a22e the easiest way to 2f94cbed51 avoid suspicion was, of 5726fc525f course, money.
 
‘Of course, you 73866289cf will be ignored 7d0d1e30ad at first. Still, if you become 88e861a172 a rich person who c283759296 can almost sweep up 067aead4ac the money on the d7c2d2d66f continent…’
 
“What did you dc04345c70 write?”
 
“For that 6c71105253 to happen, dd58659077 I’m really 17d82bcd9d busy now… e9d8405aa0 yes?”
 
As she was strengthening dfbb3746be her will for a 1753d5941f while, Allen, who was ecd6e4fd84 watching next to her, 8eb698da81 looked upset, so she 96fd470555 asked.
 
“What did you 4c4ef4b6fe write in the 9204ad53ec letter?”
 
What should we do 3401dfae4e with this little master cc2143ed73 who has become a 2ccd2e54d8 member of the duke’s 1a79458f59 family and shows interest 8ccd956c8f in the contents of d0bb03ad6d other people’s letters? I looked with sad 89daa6a1df eyes. Even Diana 29031fc7b2 was quietly 3e6e88c93e playing around ed5c95d458 with drawing 2ed3f5a2d6 like that, a2c77bfa65 which was 90fb02a554 such a f2ab57c7cf strange interest.
 
“Well, I wrote 13330d0266 about the Principality 948d87e158 of Belus. When I looked b7bd8879d4 into it, I a891779e1a found it to 9f8e391233 be an incredibly 5a1462ebf1 beautiful and wonderful dcef8f9b6d place.”
 
“Ha! Is it bd6687ffdf beautiful and dd398c259a cool?”
 
Allen snorted loudly ad7176c2b4 at my words 82d05efb12 and frowned.
 
“Well, how 2a1b159d9d wonderful it d68b1bec6b is if b4895dc11c a small 6247c5f9c9 principality with aa1cc2de72 nothing special 35b86e57f9 is wonderful.”
 
“…”
 
“There’s nothing to see 7aa6a8eb16 there.”
 
“…Master, didn’t da1fe03458 you say 55c387726a before that 845a4bf339 the principality fa418d0347 was a bc90ce742a wonderful and 4c5ed8b29c fascinating place?”
 
“I don’t know. I do not bda30ccc92 remember. “Anyway, it’s not 06e1f236fc good.”
 
I became a 66e7958711 little shaken after 240778e3bf hearing Allen’s words. However, I kept 4a24e54441 my mouth shut 5910b55e44 because I didn’t 69d094eec3 want to argue 8b7bfcd862 with Allen, who 3bc4c0860f was very upset 9ce6360415 about where he 7e814ccc5b had gone.
 
‘What if I 1464d7f39c fight with a dd869b75e3 child?’
 
When I saw Allen e657f23a2d grumbling again, I thought a1efaba6d5 it was funny. If I was really 917763dedb adopted, I should have 821bd3ef50 called Allen my brother. Of course, he was cbef554cec actually older than me, cc4fd6087d but it didn’t feel 89a1b0fc10 that way at all, c94ffcc6e2 perhaps because I had d5dfd071f0 come back a lifetime.
 
‘Jack is still 7c06317dd2 so dignified that 7f818c1bac he often feels ec4fc54a58 like an older fdaebfdd1e brother, but Allen…’
 
“Why are you ce00ac4fb3 smiling so much?”
 
“Yes?”
 
I was surprised 7edbc340a9 as I shook d9a0fd6fbb my head and aaadb8ae68 suppressed a laugh.
 
“Laughter feels 22ae559772 very impure. What are you thinking?”
 
“Oh, I ef6a0dfc53 didn’t even a63ac9fdb3 think about 8756294d5c it!”
 
I jumped 934f0ae03d up and 954e0ac959 denied it, 6a771d4ce0 but Allen 8e9a4b0f14 glared at afa53e72f8 me as 2f98dcaf94 if he c26ff9a3e0 was very 822c4b7702 uncomfortable. Sometimes it has a17e627a11 such a sharp 713d5daafb edge that it aef0527e02 startles people, but 5dfae07481 it’s not good dc1ff33aaf for the heart.
 
“Guys, it’s fe770ea705 time, let’s 6dd41e53e6 go out.”
 
At that time, the 2c963d851a Duchess, who had taken b1a35be61d the letter I had 286bcd2a17 written separately, said so. Allen, who 00599d483e was looking 159d2f46aa at me 2149cc569d disapprovingly at 163498636d those words, 4bc5abf1cf jumped up e59407b349 from his b48b0f4084 seat.
 
“Diana, let’s go see 13837d5e1a your brother off.”
 
And she spoke 3bbbeb2727 soothingly to Diana, cf5ee2fa92 who was busy ecbfea02af drawing.
 
“Huh, I don’t 75d5432bdc like it.”
 
Diana, who 64dd7f4cc2 had been 422335250e pouting since 34d08a3601 hearing the 4afc2a981c news that 0ecb815d9f Lucio was 852b808917 going back 98d3de7af8 to the 6f694d8bce Academy, stubbornly 652663475c shook her 2d77e223f9 head. However, when Allen joked db04a6d7d5 that her older brother 7b5fa4c034 might cry because he 5e7177ff38 was upset if she 4326d15415 didn’t go to see 5ce6dc64d8 him off, her eyes d13cba82d6 widened and she looked d37cd843bf at me as if 9e1264e218 I was really wondering 8decbf4369 if that was true. It was hard 62192dda5a to imagine Lucio 60109f00fb crying, but I f66a76b90a nodded because I a51cdc4033 thought he might a27b8783f9 be sad. Then, tears began to e833c77228 well up in Diana’s a3d5664d24 eyes, probably because she 905e0ccaf9 was sad.
 
“I want c9e281336c to go 02b09c86d4 to my 1829da5c7b eldest brother.”
 
Diana seemed to have 6d08e1cf9a decided that Allen would 61ff53c574 be better than me d3a36f209d in order to move 90ee1020a3 quickly, so Diana stretched 9a0f048777 out her arms to 9f15b11ab6 Allen. Allen hugged Diana, 75fc1c1dc4 twitching her lips df7689d9af as if he 1a89eec338 was dying to 60802a36fa find Diana so 7b6425224a cute. I smiled 58bbd14d88 happily at 116a55066d the picturesque e00a372d6e sight of c9b76a859d the siblings ea59e87076 and followed 8e6550a4b4 them with d1f595728d the Duchess.
 
* * *
 
When I came out, 258fcf5ea9 Lucio was already standing 8e54555156 in front of the c7cb0d1596 carriage, ready to go 7d87e84253 back.
 
“Lucio, be careful.”
 
Instead of 4ceac8597d the Duke, abf232795a who entered 8b0662efb7 the palace facc290896 early in 9a2404f7ec the morning, 61e5f6e98f the Duchess a2422d97be came out 806149c7e4 first and f5b792c650 greeted Lucio. The Duchess, whose eyes 60ce1e5bbc were dripping with regret 0fbc600c1a and sadness, no longer 626e4e902d felt any distance from 2c35e022a4 Lucio.
 
“We will 1195829aad meet again a47f15c980 soon when 71d622fc4b the festival 0355b2a4a5 opens, so 5d81e447ae don’t be 997cfd44be too disappointed.”
 
Even though Lucio had aaf202adeb a blunt expression, he 2e7f957d07 spoke calmly, and it dabcbc531b was clear that the 453ecbe36c two had become quite 51bc4fb52a close this time. Suddenly, I felt like a2b525ecf8 Lucio’s eyes were on a201e43466 me, but I ignored 82e6175839 it and became lost b18ea8f51f in thought.
 
‘It’s a festival.’
 
I recently 3ba1499a33 heard from 593a893abf Allen that 8e12134060 when the b0cb361fc8 Academy Festival d48d83e2c9 was held b736302d1a in a 37d5dfa640 few days, 5ef7c93fce she was 027ca2e6c9 planning to 7b2aa9f7e7 go see 7e688b9ac1 it with b8b23289cd everyone except 7a7efae18c the busy 750fbe5f8f Duke. Then I remembered 217a8d9217 that the usually d22753328f quiet Academy was 69b8dd6fdd noisy with visitors 067c0fc7f4 around this time 2968ed2030 of year.
 
‘Stalls were cba4b5d74e set up 826e863aa7 outside the 90b06b7e14 street in b660596c0b front of 7ef2dcc4f7 the academy, eee3a3b146 and the 9969eb7948 street was 61bb454f32 crowded with 0e9f9711f5 merchants and 19182b3f96 onlookers.’
 
The entire street c0cc9836dd was so crowded 580372cd3a that even I, 73d19fe336 a beggar, felt d57b1cf6f8 excited.
