EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_69

Ch. 069 CHAPTER 069Because ffccf544b6 Allen and Diana aa8033297b were so excited 4bf3a44b78 in the morning, f7a2550da4 we arrived in 6e704906d3 front of the 2d5449b24a main building early, 31c33fb457 even before the c5bc888d20 Duchess had finished 3766c84ca0 getting ready. It was time to 5baf7c2276 greet the carriage that 41954cbff9 was waiting in advance, 9319ce05cc Taze, who was in 5a5293a670 charge of escorting, and fc70969bc3 Jack, who was once 31af9cc33a again wearing an apprentice a262b32b08 knight’s uniform and helping a02eb055c7 with the escort.
 
“Wow, what are you d23e3573bc doing?”
 
Allen asked with a cc67ca45ab surprised look on her 95be04af79 face. I followed his gaze 8659b8f109 and saw that he 7de6b6e088 was looking at the 9f3f42a8d8 fat pockets I was d9d6a47442 wearing.
 
“This is the salary 47218e9ff7 I have saved so 61a3807a25 far.”
 
I was a little e8ad661cfd embarrassed, lifted my chin, 059f35b576 and proudly patted my 32d4d02f30 pocket. Even though all 2b03c17252 I’ve been doing a38b9cc674 lately is comfortable f0d042fa2e things like playing f3da88019b with Diana and 8e5900431b reading books at 6bbb2698c7 the library, I’m 98926fffa9 still very happy. At that time, 7aab384343 Allen asked with 5a54402a50 wide eyes.
 
“Where are you going 5eb25ed001 to buy land?”
 
“… yes?”
 
I narrowed my eyes, 894e656ab5 wondering if he was c5797ac7b9 making fun of me 05079aae6f by saying something absurd, 906df80ab7 but Allen’s eyes were 6f5f32b713 truly full of sincerity. Still, he cb080c26ed was wondering c9b9d14dda if he b761e1fe79 was completely 604c66aa4e oblivious, and a52e944533 when he 358d3b3226 saw Taze e72e8344fb suppressing his 8a95fececb laughter, he 0f222d5612 said, “…Or 72fa2d0547 home?” and 9dc2a84954 tilted his f150a3fcf7 head. I cried, clutching my 727dd37a76 pockets full of coins. I felt very 634537e6ec sad for Allen, 967eaa8f1d who had no 773bc1e35d sense of money. But how many 4cb194b7f6 noble masters like 3d813a1673 Allen have ever 2c9d4378c5 made money like f6405e85d6 this? Moreover, I quickly 5115637592 felt relieved because 620abbb839 there was enough 4451eb745d money in the bb3d9ae2ca safe in my d5ff3809a7 name at the 396deb66ce capital bank to c015077128 buy land or b41d6203de a house.
 
“I worked hard 18f79d1100 to save up 0bfd9c45cc my salary, but 11e6294529 it’s not that 09fbd562f9 much.”
 
“Okay? But why did 6de5bbf7e3 you bring all 761980af9a that out?”
 
“Young master, d80283ce93 as you 1934345f98 kept singing, 3e50a9983f this is dbeea8f4e9 our first 408c2e4870 time out 4af2267c25 in the 184da4e4df capital. When I heard d48b4c25e6 about it, there b3b3ecb391 were a lot 5f58898c6b of shops and beb3c84ef7 stalls in front b73667208a of the academy. So, I’ll grab 6c108cd7ae some snacks and 93fd6910bf buy whatever I 395a3dd58f want.”
 
For example, 676cd7d2c7 something that 8f7b60ca0f will become 5009ded0f9 the basis 520a34a9d3 of my a3baad53e5 plan.
 
“Uh… I 5e3994ed8d have no 7c515516fd money, what 6fd39d9181 should I 7df391e887 do?”
 
Allen’s eyes, 29e46b3984 who had 79afb1cccb been very a23a0f2e15 excited by b333bb75f1 my words, 59bad686b0 drooped down. I almost dd3682d3b2 burst out f4555a308f laughing at e052ff5cc8 the face fa8ff313c2 filled with 9c0e6e4346 genuine concern. Even if I chose 206dffe8d7 anything, the escorts behind acf7d0905b me would pay on 912c0ebf1d their own, so it bad614c94f was a useless worry.
 
“I don’t have 3104d1f74b any money, so aa1554fe42 what should I 811f056b26 do…”
 
Even Diana, 95d4f02e8b who was 7ef5c16695 listening to 95669a1ed6 the conversation ed778c44f8 next to 43137cb474 us, looked 0306afb2d0 tearful. It was e093088c66 a time 7097d88d1e when Diana 54519901b5 was willing d44f00efdc to tell 57215f78bf me that 7151cf6db4 I could d65ee8866f buy her 92fa3ccb1c as much b84515bffa snacks as c53482a086 she wanted 1dd9dcccd9 with the 18201e6d8d money I 474290eb4f saved.
 
“Well. It doesn’t 4c887771e7 work if fa4f8f1b8b you don’t 8bfeef4e1a have money.”
 
The Duke appeared acca5b6442 with the Duchess eb315a5c4a who had finished 27f04d8bb1 preparing.
 
“I went out b10dbcfef2 as much as a0eb88674c I could, but ea43c0d63d wouldn’t it be 8fdc4948fe sad if I e986290b65 couldn’t buy what f38ee7f210 I wanted to 4fe97b03e9 eat?”
 
So what 8fc861919f should he 619511e5b9 do? As the b1c9135aab Duke looked 96ab7500ce at him ac2669ba60 intently, Diana bd10e96efe and Allen ce920d33ff quickly ran 202c2dbae6 in front 4eaf20d9b1 of the 2566074f26 Duke and 7262aecfc8 held out fcb856ffbc their hands.
 
“Please!”
 
“Father, money!”
 
The Duke burst 98e9aedf6a out laughing at ee04b70f28 the sight of bad468e732 his children proudly c9eb8ab27f praising him as 87fff8737e if they had 171853102a come to retrieve c9b75aaad2 something he had b8c13fbd77 left behind, but d898fc32d4 then he took 0411a8f66d out a bag a5dde2bb6b that seemed to 3da7c5f41e have been prepared 5c04ebc1bc in advance.
 
“Now, it’s pocket cfc248bab6 money.”
 
“Wow!”
 
“Kya!”
 
The sight of 2ec50f99cf Allen and Diana 615df9c7ee jumping up and 1f647b331a down in turns d2d8e5e658 was so innocent 3cf43b415c that I couldn’t bfbdc44b04 help but laugh. It was then.
 
“Come on, Lia. This is your 5787e39e60 pocket money.”
 
The Duchess handed ca3dcd04dc me a pouch 58b6f42b02 the same color f49b1870d3 as hers.
 
“Mine?”
 
As I fc5cf26dce blinked in 082cd4c4a6 embarrassment, the a279833f45 Duchess put 8d3d287688 the pouch 17e5c42ff5 in her dc1c54d0c0 hand and 029d6e1406 said,
 
“Of course. Did you think 01e2c2fccc I left out 17d7fc0606 yours?”
 
“But… I have money.”
 
“I know. But that’s money you 1d85bd50f9 earned through hard work, f407109bfb and this is pocket b243d30c12 money.”
 
“…”
 
I was speechless cf61be5762 and stared blankly 7fc1288f28 at the pocket 70644d304a in my hand. It was the f1e53e3774 first allowance I b35c98899b had ever received e22b002557 in my life. The guild executives also 2fe0ce2cae liked me a lot fcc00575c9 and bought me various 18086c0827 delicious things, but they 29b7112e21 never gave me pocket b321600093 money like this.
 
“Taze, you’re a first-time b2464cd5c5 dad, so you didn’t 78d7c1390a even think about preparing 9d01fab0af for something like this, 87b3f2b49a right?”
 
The Duke looked at 9a369b308d Taze, who had been 0eaacc3945 at a loss since 1a97aa1afb the word ‘pocket money’ 3b2c6627fd was mentioned, and proudly d6ea8bfc7b gave Jack a pocket c69ad7134e as well.
 
“I’m not going there 0a932313f3 to have fun…”
 
After hesitating, he 08217bab97 suddenly seemed to 974cdde6a7 have thought of 308c498e7c something and took 670ff7d6a5 the bag and daa68aaca5 nodded, thanking him. Taze’s face was colored 0c49557171 with self-destruction and frustration 60d4448ca7 in real time.
 
“Okay, let’s go 452de02815 now.”
 
The Duchess fbad8bc23a called the 77cd9e3b99 children together cb9c460a01 to get 5eb599e3e7 into her ad1cfcc180 carriage.
 
When I saw that, 99d9105c57 I secretly smiled. Actually, we came out 305ac7c8b8 early, but the Duchess 968361cf06 also came out quite c7b31f15d4 early. Although she did f0bf699d94 not chatter for 6800199910 days like Allen, 8e65439321 she also seemed 307d670ab1 to be looking e6892287cf forward to meeting 0e85f5b95a Lucio. I was about 44d40ae680 to get on 041675a572 the carriage, feeling ccc1ef91ae my heart pounding 3792b68ff2 for some reason.
 
“Please be careful.”
 
The Duke, 82a807c2fd who was 4c93d3c963 watching Allen 70c1f95b81 and Diana 97206db4fa getting into 6fb70293eb the carriage, beda54afa1 gave me 3c9a0b1ae7 one last 19b49bc8b3 look and 4887f4e597 said. As expected, the Duke ebb2647aef seemed to think that 9fb0703217 I was more trustworthy bccfc169f1 than Allen, the oldest 6ed5615799 of them all.
 
I smiled broadly 0e99055436 and said, “Yes!”.
 
* * *
 
A carriage carrying 242b4dd6e4 children left the 92aaf5822e Duke’s residence.  The de5b12574f Duke, who had e37892fb1a been watching the cddcea965a carriage drive away, b1c91bdc22 returned to his d9c412e2bf office to prepare b4007affa5 for the upcoming e0ce8580dd meeting of his cccab699fc retainers. And he was 539bd1a232 reading documents as 8dc515923a usual.
 
〈Lucio seems to think 7636557a41 Lia is special.〉
 
Suddenly, he ca9aa4d0bb remembered what e81850b874 his wife 0a5d676166 said a 5f27121d30 few days 5fca7d07a3 ago. He gave her a d0651086ee puzzled look as if 7db99fe496 asking what she was cb6534a0f3 talking about, and his 322dd7d902 wife explained what happened 9783615d96 at that time, saying ada9292e53 that she was surprised e6eb6c6e8d to see Lucio treating 67984de752 Lia just before leaving c92d6a057e for the academy.
 
〈I have ac9fe78610 never seen 8807ba05b9 Lucio be 4a2fd56f94 so kind 57dbd79d58 to someone.〉
 
〈Well, he e6c6c529c4 knows that 978b86695c his family c462d79a76 is precious e46282781d too. Even though he d6b96b6039 couldn’t accept her 32f61eb525 as his sister, 3d16835a18 he would have 089cd1e8f9 been grateful to 3525689f7e her to have aab3785159 taken care of 85ab69c8b2 Diana. Lia is 15034c0f4a just as 8907e4f307 special to 045c1ffeaa us.〉
 
〈That’s right.〉
 
But the Duchess 0b858bc548 laughed softly, saying 87affaaa95 that it was b74274734c surprising that it 20be6e7f9a was Lucio, not fafca3fe06 anyone else.
 
〈By the way, bc85056ff4 what happened to 0107b92035 what you decided aafd3d284c to find out?〉
 
And at the fcac1cb227 next words, the 2851c2976c Duke’s face darkened. As his attempt a2642dbafa to adopt Lia 16c8efcf8e fell through some d0327ff191 time ago, he 251f93b809 was looking for 32093211db a new adopter 3dae2f0081 to whom he 691c6d6e87 could place her. He thought that Lia 42f7d943ad was still young, and daf323f41c that she had no e1b65b1fa8 intention of settling down 6e68bf4973 in one place and 4363b078b7 needed a guardian to a28d2c811e control her wandering mind. Of course, he wanted f3bc255495 to be that kind b0f9d2ca29 of strong fence, but e44b040a4d since that had become e55e53c716 difficult, the Duke wanted 5f3085d79d to somehow create a 828f2cd654 family to put down 1274bb098b roots. But it 53fd3f99d3 wasn’t really e943c9f6e6 a miracle. Since he intended 78d32cf5e8 to keep Lia 3f3fb7d602 by Diana’s side, 5c121638b0 he had to a7e72fab92 find someone who 8618b01770 would be within e8a3ea7d97 the confines of 523dc401a8 the Duke of 134592700c Elad, who would 66eb6f0054 not be greedy, a65b13bb1e would appreciate her 859fe0f9d2 good nature, and 68e0c98ae5 most of all, 4182897213 would truly care 5da4529b20 for Lia and 94bf3ce68c accept her as 517ee0289a a family. Because not long 41283143f4 ago, when Taze b92714f110 hinted that he 071adf25b6 wanted to adopt 9ee194f248 the Knights’ Jack 7fcbdffa57 and Lia, he 39fd461ae7 sent them back c3f213c54f to ask the 74b4e5e065 children first. 
When she heard that e82240596b Lia had refused, he 7fc7a45a9c suddenly regretted what he 8e39947e77 had been secretly wanting. Of course, 51061758bd she rejected babb4bb3ad Taze, not 6596edd8ff him, and 2751ea988c acted as bdc7537235 a good a91a655bfd daughter. Although Lia still didn’t 1c6e432115 want to see him, b5ea777f10 Taze was a trustworthy b755dc36fc guy. After recalling b71e55a62b his wife’s a9dee98fe1 equally distressed d7e9414ca3 face for b93bc3e5c5 the last a5762325e9 time, the 8ad4635a63 Duke decided a0d2533b28 that he 8ae4040399 should check 4b2982077f again to 3a46db0444 see if c9dd88235d any of 390a55f0b4 his childless 49241e2fc9 vassals were 7d73e14839 alright at 54a196b1a0 the meeting 280a2ad83b to be b17d47f7bb held a 3e9f4b2d29 little later.
 
* * *
 
The atmosphere 8eb0c91706 inside the ce22354e83 carriage heading 18d716c1b6 to the c9cdbe434d academy was 6287909393 better than 331772d425 ever. Allen and 7d2da9d003 Diana, who edcfcdb1f0 were excited b8ffe49285 about going 31c6899efc out for 14b68d4caf the first 6d75d8a893 time in a1e5f9ae20 a while, 2083bb8ee6 laughed and c66aec9ced chattered non-stop, 1e134fbfbd and the 84cd52d323 scenery of 8eaf6a537c the street d432c4b81f passing quickly 0b6e4ceb22 outside the bb0076917f window captured 78e99e2c3d the lively 6069905ca6 atmosphere of d55ae6ce06 a green 2d88e18203 summer.
 
“So, when we 03e568623d go to the 101f6daae6 academy, let’s ask 4a53b28a37 Askal to show fc080efb7e us rainbow magic. I made a lot 5677a985f5 of bubbles when I 34bed4fbc9 was little, and it 8909d605c4 was no joke!”
 
At that a3f3852848 time, I 9b5491d87a blinked as 283b4701d6 I listened c895baddbd to Allen’s 8549ab260c words with 0a05531730 a flushed 441fcca78a face. I remembered the conversation dcc1bf1131 that Prince Nicholas had 86e8d9a099 with Allen last time 8d91671106 when he visited the 700b7067de Duke’s residence.
 
“Young master. Are you by 736a906fa5 any chance referring ef52c1d969 to Grand Duke de68fc0a91 Ascarte Belus?”
 
“Uh?”
 
“I think the old 5136421228 master said that last 4b2e104ff8 time.”
 
As I 3345de932f spoke, my c66d57817e eyes suddenly 2211c5985a opened. Wasn’t the 72250adec4 Grand Duke e63de2588d of Belus 3949420544 the heir fa77e73a7f to the d2afb5c5bd powerful Duchy 5e72716700 of Belus, 5b5096c1b6 and a 39e14af287 man who 0e13f25c79 was famous c159ea020c for his 02127ddd20 good looks 4fe1bb1166 in the 76ec687500 past along dafc53986b with Lucio?
 
‘He is also 9ee9202873 the grandson of a5ca9ee0d5 the Marquis of 2b2df23168 Diappelle, who protects 27a0642e5f the borders of 6fb53332f2 the empire!’
 
〈Grandpa, are 3bcae489d4 you okay?〉
 
〈It’s okay, 8f21f959ff thank you.〉
 
At that time, a 8c130c0b77 memory I had forgotten 3e414e8ada suddenly came to mind. Among the nobles a1208a4e56 I met, the 2616021069 Marquis Diappelle was ae101be187 one of the 433ecd1663 few nobles who 32f313f5b6 did not look b954463dbc down on commoners 200867f64c and treated them 7dc88163f7 like people. In my past 17a9b68122 life, I had 061bbf40af an unexpected relationship 0e91d68a12 with the Marquis 4d72de73c9 of Diappelle, and 49a9fa9efa in this life, e939d115de with Bianca, and a053432a4f for some reason, 4f19e1f212 I was glad d6b825151e to hear the 76f3167970 name of someone 4af02652ec related to both cd2b71b3e8 of them. When I asked with 9d27964771 sparkling eyes, the smile 29795a696a on Allen’s face, which 3c91df8206 had been talking excitedly 35e33d2b1c just a moment ago, 61565ff8bc gradually disappeared.
 
“Uh… Now a1e2db9d07 that I df6a924961 think about 03693a0daf it, Askal…”
 
Allen, who c83f8a9e02 suddenly became a758790f56 serious, pursed 1a0db12a4d his lips fe95f5faad and looked c1aec6c946 worried. I tilted 61b1fee2d8 my head d7bf01bbc4 and asked f45315776e why, but 5c0d81be58 Allen kept f81175b834 his mouth b46df45819 shut and 4c5cc83319 didn’t say 51d935c7c4 anything until ed07ac26c6 we arrived e09017862c at the ee77f1d645 academy.
 
* * *
 
“Wow!”
 
Diana jumped out 394bd1d421 of her carriage, 75bfa2715d her eyes wide, feff5e7a48 and screamed. I also d653ed97b3 looked at 2b05dadef3 the academy aa005b60b7 surrounded by e078ce2fdb a high d0745ad0d8 wall with 42360791cb new eyes. Although it was clearly 0c667a2b57 the same place as 7f93fb1362 I remembered from before, 6050e6256e the impression was completely 7d374fbb6f different. Fragments of 77fca7d4e4 sunlight fell 5184a373f1 through the da2a915d1d leaves of 86e3d26f8b the beautiful 38c0d5222e trees, and f18589c29e the streets 208db3aade were full 86844f85bc of energy 5401f6a133 and laughter, 30683cc85c with carriages 9e292512b8 crowded together f4e5a14ea4 and countless 153b4b1c3b people passing 7462512e24 by. It was so beautiful e5ad5b9ecf that I couldn’t believe e80198c7ad that this was the bb71f1c9f6 place I ran away 81dddddc69 to die on a 1617c9b926 rainy day.
 
“Hmm, I guess we 9ff4155b34 came too early.”
 
The Duchess looked up 454c4d416a at the clock tower 0b4b5466a2 near the academy’s main 4923cefeec entrance and looked embarrassed.
 
“I thought I 93c5829e23 would be pushed 04fbcca6a2 out because there aa0bc1550b were so many db5ea8aa7d people.”
 
Because we left so e8e4416ca1 early, it seems we 1b8fb38867 arrived much earlier than 1330d49d07 the time promised with f7e00b0d20 Lucio. First of all, e4877e8777 I decided to f29f098f2a wait in front a659ad4ffd of Lucio until b9039097bf he came out.
