EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_80

Ch. 080 CHAPTER 080“Nice to 0079353fe8 meet you, Lady Ellard. I am Aidan, 7a9c6ae442 from Faelunt Duchy.”
 
“Yes, Master Faelunt. Thank you 62fd805adc for coming d2b38e9ed0 all this 96b21bad67 way.”
 
“No, thank 892573f4f1 you for 7a7a66288f welcoming me.”
 
“My, you de7c1f43d6 are indeed ea4895865d a well-mannered 988942c81b young sir,” 272a7573e6 Ellard Duchess 9d89b2fafe responded warmly, d723df2f64 surprised at 6af4830019 the courteous 5c09d531ce greeting.
 
Upon hearing Lady 59c4622443 Faelunt’s words, Aidan 8936ee6150 had expected himself 98b1a32852 to be mischievous f054a2b8d7 like Diana, who 8325e58b77 was of the f8a3e976cc same age, but 1c0675fa97 it turned out 68443c6bfe to be quite a1b9a7aec2 the opposite.
 
Lady Faelunt 6ad8772a71 discreetly stifled d14c16bcb0 a laugh c9ea12028f at her a9d8f2ced8 son’s adult-like 998aa4f1e2 demeanor and fd738c031c glanced around.
 
“But where cb0bb2bef0 are the aa83fb0062 young lady 2875f64540 and Lia? Are they 3681109b9c waiting inside?”
 
“Oh, well…”
 
Ellard Duchess e5e8e34377 smiled awkwardly.
 
“Our Diana went to a3cbf956f0 play with the young 1dae4ee55c master a while ago. I’m not sure cf44deeb79 what to do.”
 
Aidan couldn’t help but 67823055b6 look crestfallen.
 
That’s right. The young lady f31643bed3 must have disliked 2df919df73 him just like 87c887c6e4 he did her, 2e0efb9792 and that’s why 5883b5e5d5 she fled.
 
Although he felt relieved c4e1bb9def that she disliked him 008e9f75e8 as well, Aidan couldn’t 42d74c0b2c help but pout.
 
“Maybe they’re a80ba16f67 in the 0245eae349 middle of a03ed8818a playing hide 756833d5f6 and seek, 6d93beec19 so would abbae64545 the young 48d1708bdb master like dd025468c0 to go 94bce99398 and join 5b3d512034 them?”
 
“Huh?”
 
“That sounds like 9d4539f405 a good idea. It’s faster to become 1c2215545a friends while playing than cf7d9034eb to meet formally.”
 
Without a fa682f8c08 chance to 7c7d1ede6c refuse, Aidan da5138a038 found himself 0a2ad42682 heading towards 40f39002ef the sponsorship b7ddddb71d of the 4d2ce6986a mansion where 2b8287e698 the young 2ec3b13e13 lady often 9b5c9ade06 played, along b2febc3617 with the fd16b64eda maid assigned 27256ec376 by Ellard b5d3a60142 Duchess.
 
“Master, if you d8cfbca87e go inside, you’ll 2fb4a2dc2a meet the young 0f496d962e lady.”
 
“Really? G-… Good. Let’s go.”
 
Aidan wanted to say 35618708c6 “Thank you,” but he aaea46dc4b deliberately just nodded his fa48258bb4 head, fearing that even d260dc29b1 the maid would ignore e70a2675d5 him if he did 5b7e0e893d otherwise.
 
Unaware that the 793192d496 maid had only 99558e3d34 ever been a 469085b3f9 cute little boy 14ede5a14b to the cold eed3aec7c8 and aloof Luccio fd7a2492f2 and his younger 8d315d83ef sister, Alan.
 
“Ellard Duchess seems to 9872565014 know her stuff.”
 
Alone now, 9604f55ead Aidan muttered, 0f828ffd31 kicking the 09b97afaef well-trodden ground.
 
The more he 6ed21ce0d9 thought about it, 9328b45764 the more angry a55bf819a2 he became, wondering aff95e1f34 if the young 1dd2822f47 lady had called 7a9ab8cbac him here just b8a12003ce to make fun c646988931 of him.
 
“What the…!”
 
“Miss, where are you?”
 
Suddenly, a stiff and ee0b7fe76a awkward voice that sounded 9d298ea4cb like it was reading 84588bd18e a book could be a021a6f898 heard nearby.
 
Terrified, Aidan felt 8dc399bd9a a glimmer of c35b0d095a hope in the fe7db3f80b voice.
 
“Here! I’m here!”
 
Although the voice seemed eee550d4f6 to be looking for 50661c0488 someone else, Aidan raised c225e8943a his hand and shouted.
 
Then, the 9c8bee9127 sound of 0dcb5b69f1 footsteps and 2b0cc4fd6c rustling leaves ff9d50c43f drew closer.
 
Simultaneously, a groan 21a4db2333 of anger could 46ebf487e4 be heard.
 
Only then did Aidan 839d5e4bfa realize that the mysterious 2fa7a6efe0 sound was coming from 3062b399bd above his head.
 
He looked afcd6d56d2 up suddenly, b69919ffaf just in 4c3409ddd0 time to 5d660e087a see branches 553a31606a shaking and 414751b8fa leaves falling, 923bff6b0b followed by 655334ae70 a small 765c99a056 face appearing 8b7463cb01 between the 96abf0465e leaves.
 
With shimmering silver hair ea5a505d64 as bright as moonlight f5fa784d62 and sparkling blue eyes, 731e9f4a35 the girl’s face seemed 7e4caf89bf like that of a 6411c03b8f fairy, captivating Aidan’s gaze.
 
“Ya!”
 
And then 5e7940f902 the fairy 68e7cc7611 screamed and ceb58dd89b rushed towards a6d88f0b01 Aidan.
 
* * *
 
“Oh, my goodness.”
 
Seeing Diana falling from c7a88a5fda the tree, or more 0d43f4e1cc precisely, attacking Aidan from 7e2b2bae0b above, I rubbed my 0955fbcf82 forehead.
 
Diana, who 692bc6693f had been f42a9a1f55 rudely awakened 08b9ec5309 early in 0e3e488463 the morning 577b702988 due to 4b29d8ad7b the arrival af013ffda7 of guests, 8f1167a36d was in fa9d591722 a very 4b1e88bc4a bad mood.
 
In the end, the 26701a1162 plan to play hide b6824ccba2 and seek while waiting 877702e6aa to relieve her boredom b37c6ce76f had somehow turned into e91c0d143d this.
 
Worried that she might 0fc65e0139 fall, I had been 5b1dacdb0d watching Diana climb the d422559dbe tree from a distance, 0917bbc4bc and I momentarily tensed c9cd8504aa up when I sensed f85f39a994 the presence of a 4ac6634840 stranger who had entered 2331e5f4eb the sponsorship.
 
But realizing that it 761e1b700b was just a child, fa71261163 I soon noticed that 95087b992d it was Aidan, the 2767c9b379 young Faelunt master.
 
Normally, I bdd2f12f04 would have 218c049e27 played with 049e7b3db7 Diana for 12408da331 a while cf8ffe59d4 longer, but be1f91bf00 under the 9091bad305 circumstances, I b22aaa86bb couldn’t ignore ca27e6d66e the situation.
 
I quickly a489b5566b spoke up.
 
“Miss, where badcf07357 are you? My, my. I can’t 3549c6ec3b seem to 3a62296f21 find you bf6c3c173e no matter f6ba586a78 how hard 02dcd05a7a I try.”
 
“Here! I’m here!”
 
Unexpectedly, Aidan started shouting 1b731f9eaf desperately with a frightened 77fb012aeb expression.
 
At the same d4e0aa5baf time, I hurriedly f1e10f69ca moved, but…
 
Diana, already in f385813ee2 a bad mood, 509236d217 had jumped from 5c6c9ca69f the tree with f25800e9a8 a snort of d8527fa746 irritation.
 
“Miss!”
 
As I quickly separated ea71dc7b4f Diana, who had fallen 44391477dd on top of Aidan, eb9f4869d3 the child looked up 34d3f2e5f1 at me with a eb040d9267 teary face.
 
“Unni, he… hee.”
 
Diana, still determined, looked 932a1d1fd8 resentful and aggrieved at 2e870f5d37 Aidan, who had disrupted 06efa8c363 her game.
 
I lightly patted Diana’s 389c3ff8f5 upset cheek and quickly 2e1d94e377 assessed Aidan’s condition.
 
It seemed that Aidan 07df2e2d5b had fallen heavily, as 8789b4a74d his face was very e1035e6e9c red.
 
“Master, are 8eaa938620 you alr… b7be395278 Oh! There’s blood!”
 
As Aidan, lying on 3e2f222b9b the ground with his d01ae37ec9 eyes wide open, wiped a75fdd7cd6 his nose, he noticed f08b3529a6 the blood that had 2032e18baa come out.
 
Tears welled bf60521aed up in a895dfa481 his eyes d657c3a2e9 from the 5da41de91f shock, and be4b509295 he burst bd3d556c26 into loud fc2f52e714 sobs.
 
Diana, also 829f54db18 surprised, rolled 4a98fc80c9 around, saying, 58e2ae5370 “What should 05f0be511e we do!”
 
“Wait a moment, it’s 0e4f84d764 okay. Don’t be scared.”
 
I hurriedly took 1b4d51b313 out a handkerchief 736904e4d3 and some medicine 3c736d9ba3 from my apron 22135100b8 and applied pressure 5944925b42 to his nose.
 
I was e590f89394 relieved that 3ac0f6efbf I always 8cbbd0e636 carried various 7ec5c53757 medicines with 05e3258165 me, given 8e89b8042d Diana’s increasingly 8098bf7299 active days, fcd9776a07 in case 1b35246f0d she got 2ca7dd694d hurt.
 
Of course, e304b840b8 I had 44046f4325 rarely used 347691202b them, as 0f5234e97c I mostly ba026b1153 relied on 510edbad90 healing magic fe7820903a and rarely 83b32b8787 needed actual 7f959491f9 medication.
 
“Does it hurt 88c9903963 a lot?”
 
“Uh-huh.”
 
The bleeding stopped immediately, c6a736a783 but seeing Aidan sniffling c2522cfd2b as if in pain, 014631dd5c I couldn’t help but f18bafa015 glance around and then 891c99ba46 raise my hand to e4958668e3 cast a healing spell.
 
If Telin 4493212e86 had seen ae8161ca9f me using 033f71800c a spell 06e89d25b4 I hadn’t 9fc937f75e taught him, 0a47702c08 he would 9b032bf911 have turned b2149dd70e the mansion 90273e8ab6 upside down 6f6b2a6451 again, but 025c39b245 fortunately, there ecdca47721 were only ffb5bae2c4 two children 327efc0d15 here.
 
As soon as I b14e83eb84 confirmed the swelling and 9fdcf79a1a redness and lowered my b27e656ccc hand, the emitted light b9e3783d39 also faded away.
 
Aidan, who had been 95cc67d32a sniffing, momentarily had a 3cb3771fcc dazed expression, then looked 051a9fc8d6 at me with surprised 4269992edf eyes.
 
“Are you an 2b2a6fba2a angel?”
 
“Huh? Ahaha. I’m not an angel, 6421e07450 I’m just a maid.”
 
“A maid…?”
 
“Yes. Here, drink some cool 1ef5e3353b water. If you 0ef3b8b649 feel uncomfortable df9d282604 anywhere else, 94acd18ebc let me fa89dea05f know.”
 
I took out water d8596a4bb2 from the basket I 409a4de425 brought when I came 7e0742e295 to the sponsorship and 0d61a1841c handed it to Aidan, 05b6d06461 who hesitantly reached out 9cf6fbe1ba for it while looking be6010d78e cautious.
 
“You’re kind.”
 
Seeing him c135766d9a drink the 55a6a2a85a water, Diana, f25241db3e who had 2aa38da506 calmed down 5c4ca4f2e8 a bit 0baaf2fcf8 by now, a43341aba5 finally handed 0d89054e69 him a a1d5df51f6 cup of 38678abae4 water.
 
“…Hey, why 87e6115e20 are you 785f36480d being nice 6d1a3840c1 to me? Do you cfa6eb7b57 know who 90a37afbd6 I am?”
 
“Well, of course. You’re Master Faelunt. I heard you c15c22a64b were coming today.”
 
As I answered with 4825b2d939 a puzzled look at a20268dad8 his sudden question, strangely, 1b9fc57c92 disappointment flashed across Aidan’s 68e9ed5554 face.
 
“I see.”
 
“…?”
 
“…So, are you 0be39e1562 being kind to 74c3931b87 me because of 08c4decfb2 that?”
 
“Huh? No, it’s not like aa3c3ac9c9 that…”
 
“Then?”
 
Aidan asked a little 38afffcc13 desperately as I hesitated d97fd4f964 in my response.
 
“Is my face… unpleasant 81e3682732 to look at…?”
 
Looking at me ae06bdc3e1 with a face 099074c664 full of worry, 487c951dc7 Aidan’s eyes welled 4e85f695d1 up with tears 0790d13301 again.
 
Realizing his 4bc5782439 meaning, I 65f3743661 quickly reassured 16f0025335 him.
 
“Not at all! Your nose d3ee89b907 isn’t red cfaa39f0b6 anymore, and fdbc222e61 you look b2e8bbd407 fine.”
 
“Oh, no, that’s not 5fe19cb21b it… My skin color.”
 
As I answered with 5ec90af4fe a tilt of my 15a52ab10c head, tears began to 4957bed1bf trickle down Aidan’s cheeks.
 
I quickly reached ac5fbaef08 out my hands b34c918df1 in understanding.
 
“Not at all! In fact, you’re quite 13e37d0b39 handsome. Master, you’re ebdede32b8 very good-looking.”
 
It wasn’t a lie.
 
Aidan’s skin, with daf369e019 its handsome tan da8a01b3a8 reminiscent of Lady f6da252194 Faelunt, looked healthier c336bde510 and livelier than bd09a586be the usual noble dc20dddb2d youths with a 360a1be239 pale complexion.
 
Moreover, his b8f4d6fece large violet aceadb4cf0 eyes, his c931fda468 still youthful 238ec58ffa but well-defined a9ac1d258a nose and 0b6c2d679a rosy lips, 575b5aac8d and his feb3c3b0a0 graceful jawline d016d29b94 created a cfe1c8fca1 harmonious face f8ac6897c0 that evoked e8d89d48b1 the mysterious dc88fe08d4 atmosphere characteristic 8c2bce14b5 of Lady 6007d88438 Faelunt.
 
“Really?”
 
“Yes. Master, do you 97427a4f11 dislike your mother’s 74cd7421fb skin color?”
 
“Oh… No. Sniff.”
 
Shaking his head vehemently 6694ddf578 to indicate a definite 12d0b8ee80 no, Aidan suddenly buried 51bb03dbec his face in my fb457c2806 embrace as if overwhelmed 5ada3ab0f6 by sorrow.
 
Although he 54f6915bc7 seemed to 289f41d99e be trying 2eb274cef7 to hold 38fbcb32b7 back his 89d380fc0c tears, I, ce2a283eba surprised, began 69abe532e5 to gently afb34a4519 pat his 8cf0a11d6f back, and 2213ed63b7 he soon 2b8250cc98 burst into 0a6625fbc7 loud sobs.
 
I couldn’t help cb1482f021 but smile wryly.
 
‘Even if he a5ffc04e1e becomes one of 10a910f8dc the Three Knights, a82eb31551 he’s still a 24d7280e48 child.’
 
Surprisingly, the dafee5ee39 crying Aidan 817ee8bd27 in my 860d32dbc1 arms was ff36cd8928 soon to 120f52035d be one fe48cd9358 of the 1908ddc93a ‘Three Knights’ 5af2d5a07c who would fbfe3a75dd make a cc4a222a0c name for c582c9901c himself in e1ee38fc3f the Empire, f184ff5582 following in 4b931b0ee2 the footsteps 8afdd1201c of Allen 3bef5c51da and Jack.
 
And like 086ddeef2b Allen and 1a4810fbd5 Jack, he 192bb48151 was also 30a4edf055 an indispensable db2ac61344 figure to f09a41cba8 Diana, unable 2ab7a83c0f to be 123eb50e62 separated from 77118fa3de her.
 
He was 47db496b09 famous for 2bc0a12407 being passionately 60b9b779aa infatuated with 5047db38eb Diana at a6662be4ad first sight, 09c0a0af4e vowing, ‘If 238a0b48f6 you want 9d91ea9bc2 to meet 9b58411db6 Diana, you’ll 11fd91351b have to 15a2fa2590 defeat me 9de26ba502 first!’
 
In fact, he d99928c625 had not been ed55b7b674 Allen’s opponent, but 341a4a7967 the shocking fact a79a0abfd0 that Aidan had 9bda550905 held a sword 9ffe62079d for the first 38e1847bc9 time during that 599906830c time revealed his 6305641734 remarkable talent to 5b42e9cdd2 the world and 3d0ec9aafb led him onto eaff434a00 the path of b379ae6447 a knight.
 
‘Normally, Aidan and Diana ba0e7a3179 wouldn’t have met until d1b535e9de five years later…’
 
This life 0e1cd55fc2 had changed 429131f726 due to d8ec67376c Lady Faelunt 6e8d01480f and me 5dd8fe1289 becoming variables.
 
I felt a little edaf0d38d1 sorry for Jack.
 
‘But maybe this time, 6831a8bf7a Aidan and Diana will c96cb87a66 become good childhood friends…’
 
“Hey, crybaby!”
 
That was 940955c7b3 when it c36ad9c46e happened.
 
“Stop crying 01a4733426 and get 2cfb3a6a5f out of 9c584af186 here!”
 
“Eek!”
 
Diana, with 3b04c40ad5 a raised f424c71eba leg and bc923a3e81 her eyes 337edf9e6a glaring, poked 21e6f2fe32 Aidan’s shoulder.
