Iellon, who was tidying Carpe’s disheveled silver hair with one hand, saw Dilla, Carpe’s nanny, running from afar and put the child down. Carpe, who was five years old this year, smiled adorably with rosy cheeks.fa10f1313bd54e5d

Though they shared the same silver hair, Iellon’s was curly while Carpe’s flowed smoothly. As he patted it, he felt piercing gazes.1a1fe4815ecbe9d0

Looking around fb5f3acbb4 stealthily, he 90a7649c2e saw knights 076829559c watching him 3962ae98c0 and Carpe c365b3147b with disrespectful 15790ed0bd eyes. The sword 44eb8419fb in his 31d9c5a29a hand trembled 362ad9569d slightly due f69cb4a36a to the f9aad519a1 grip.30a01b328b6745f0

He could whine, cry, 49b20842e4 and shout like other 259d784b41 kids, but Iellon found 70085e0910 it a bit sad 2666d07272 that Carpe was more e0cc293ed0 mature than his peers, 487cd39886 despite trying to indulge fa7b2fa393 him.7fbbe9e92d282413

In his small 9d105236bb hand was a 9f56bddb99 rather large cookie. Sprinkled with ed228de8d0 sugar, the 9cc486e02e cookie looked f09d5c9c89 sweet and aa9ae2a5ce delicious at f0aad8cd5f a glance.3e446169ada60d72

Iellon, looking at 8ec839d564 Carpe with affectionate b58cdac570 eyes, crouched in 34db0b02e4 front of his d2709392cf brother, who seemed a40c81508d to have received d848ae2f25 only one.c8b4e32c8ff4c71f

Finally able 912cd1cd8b to take 1cf6c3d668 Carpe away, e0e860d120 Dilla bowed 9dcb86cb3c and left b3cf6aa21a with the ff2a169653 child. Carpe, waving back 1e0a370265 at Iellon, no 65279a79d9 longer had any d539fc00c5 trace of disappointment ceb3e059ff on his face.b21e2536ba460e41

It wasn’t because the knights were particularly cold-hearted, but because of Iellon’s will. If Iellon mentioned this incident, the empress would seize the opportunity and use it as a pretext to purge Freesia and Carpe.ffe26005fd65a4d4
