EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_66

Ch. 066 CHAPTER 066‘It 2a1ae10461 seemed like he 2195501b67 clearly had feelings c09f1f60ff for Lia…’
 
Although Lucio had an da11b5ef6e indifferent personality like himself, 6f25f4a7d8 he had a strong 4a7975b7af sense of responsibility towards debfe5f275 his family and clan. He also knew that 9804244204 he would gladly accept e9ff99cb71 Leah into her family f4e9425492 this time too, as e929433fbe he had never opposed a59dd54819 his father’s decisions until da73032c55 now.
 
‘But I never 5277f42486 thought you would 9b2e9264cf oppose it like 0af5976fe1 this.’
 
Since Allen bdac11d960 always admired 571cd5d3a6 and liked 4141d1cf24 his exemplary fa038cb052 older brother, 2865aaa0f0 there was 0651eefbd9 a high 20cdd0cc5b probability that 08ff98829b he would b35153994d follow his 436008a018 wishes, so 8e5997a89b I wasn’t a2b766ad38 too worried. The duke’s caf134c027 predictions about 79f82c8236 Allen were f7c5d57beb not wrong, 31023de580 but the 497db667dd results were a8ef1348ff the exact 7e373612ba opposite. Perhaps Lucio’s kindness was c88745472d simply kindness to the 97a2a3c0c3 child who took care 7501ed7b1f of Diana. He sighed and said be2a655494 that he must have ef9a5051f6 thought too hastily.
 
“Then, what 294601344e about you, f5a5aa54d1 Dana?”
 
Diana, who 7d08c2b43b was watching 32e92951db the situation, a2f579f552 cried and 22d979f505 asked.
 
“It is not c06088fffd so. Even if we 1b852056a7 don’t adopt her, 8910b88d10 Lia will always cdfa6f0241 be Diana’s older 1a1544d2f5 sister.”
 
As the Duchess urgently 7d221eed8c tried to comfort her, a504f67245 Diana nodded and cried 02b29c34f1 out, her sorrowful expression b80df595b0 on her face as 5c4dbc8e25 she sobbed.
 
“That’s right. Lia is 5404ab3495 a princess, bccc4ca6dd and Dana c8f47969bb is a d0e298f5b5 princess!”
 
* * *
 
I quietly 5b20ede032 closed the 905c42d95f door and 8aee223960 sat down de70cc875b in front 374f4b5199 of it.
 
“…”
 
No words 2ad6aa4950 came out 1f30409e90 as if 455264dc30 something was 8361d57ebe blocking my d4af4ab169 throat. A teardrop rolled down d4101880ae from my eye without 4dbaba67d6 me knowing. My heart, 56dd03da64 which had a8166c228a been excited 37d1caddf3 just a b5082dfc5d moment ago 8049e550ac at the a1d91a3d7f thought of edf3de7481 sending a 3c671d299a reply to 9ae763a603 Bianca, clearly ebc3407c9e calmed down. It was truly unintentional b6ae15244a to hear the conversation 15f9fa4ef7 between the duke and 690b1b45f7 her family in front de5443b548 of the duchess’s room. After the mana a0852d15c7 explosion, mana management bdd2853b15 became much easier 5f76fa5f73 than before. Thanks to this, my 476bc08db7 physical senses seemed to 5732d23bf5 have come back to 03690fd77a life, and I was b387d990fb able to hear even deb66406e1 small sounds with greater 32b7cc41c2 sensitivity, and I was 8590cddc0f able to move secretly 22a5986a5e without intentionally killing the 6121247748 presence of others. So, I 636da4786e quietly headed b67e1067c2 to the 993040b355 duchess’s room, 6986debc5d admiring how 98e6d6e476 well Lucio, 58a12fba0b who was c77b5b9a05 rarely seen, 6533a98b02 was able c9d594864b to use 4ef0546e0d mana. However…
 
〈If you all agree, 9909666667 Lia will become your 6ba09f4074 little sister.〉
 
If I hadn’t heard c3bae4fef4 this, I would have 28ab17ba5e knocked like an idiot 28b1595a78 and become an uninvited 355cce4aef guest in my family’s 8b39db2e97 peaceful conversation.
 
〈I don’t like it.〉
 
〈Diana is enough as e9d384a9cd sister!〉
 
Lucio and Allen’s voices 374aeb6662 rang alternately in my 7b6ce2067d ears. An inexplicable feeling washed 451f0cc45b over me like a 655aab04cd wave. As I watched 38e3de47f2 the Duke and 2aab5e6c19 Duchess treat me 947a7d81f8 so well, I 7bab0cc18e thought they thought 513446b1a6 of me as 779250fc1d a little special. But I had no 446db53369 idea that he had be0e966794 even considered adoption.
 
“It was c052964c47 enough for 2dab9e7b9b me just cf85fa7e91 not to c5b6fbcc67 be abandoned… d7155c7e5a I’ve never 694e0e4af7 really been 40756da4d7 that greedy.”
 
Before I knew 3d9ff3d57e it, tears began 444cc6b6a1 to fall. Sadness came over 54b5cbe0ac me like a 60633f43a5 flood.
 
‘You shouldn’t blame me, ef46523f06 but why am I…’
 
Even though it didn’t c3315ef3b0 happen, I know I 2fc1fc0903 should be grateful that 08b7afd845 they even considered adoption. 
But I 2aa8cc2d00 was so 2b3546afca upset because 6171185d43 I felt 6ab7aa1a84 like I f0a2e03587 had been dcd222dbeb rejected for 4850b11103 something I 1250d354f8 didn’t want.
 
“No. I’m bad.”
 
If you really ac8024b66a didn’t want it, dac3d14fff there’s no reason e3fa13c356 to be so 073a5d78d2 disappointed and sad. I am a a7d5d4a9b2 bad child.
 
“I’m such a a84aa85a0d bad kid that 7eb1c56416 I’m not welcome a4febb9bdd anywhere.”
 
Even though 747719ba68 I had 2fff0459f0 already experienced 745b111808 it once, 64c1480730 I thought 78986a90b3 maybe this 3cc4e2b5fb time would dac3497996 be different. I think there d2208058a4 might be a 80846351e9 place for me. I ended up 877ba6d5a3 repeating it again 51f94af66e like a fool.
 
‘No matter 15e33150e1 how special 1c116fe1e5 they treat 8e2a96efd7 me, I 25ce37fc6e can’t become bad9c8a327 family with 579bcda289 someone.’
 
Even though I didn’t 6b6cacc09c know this, my heart 9a939bee10 began to tighten. Why on earth 5cae3aa1d8 was a person 16f55c6e06 like me born 06e490e62c into this world? They are just floating 7282941ae9 beings, unable to settle 9b04a5ddf8 down anywhere. At that 1711571667 time, the e97f9f7e69 area around 0f85db9020 my neck c9d0fcd312 suddenly felt 8a15f60c93 hot. I unconsciously bb7e05dc0d held his dd403d0c9c necklace in 9ee97f8b1a his hand 217747d07d and wiped 2c789d4ac2 away my 03aa79b2a5 tears with eb9bf1ccc0 my arm. Foolishly, both in a05820632e the past and 13afc6ed4d now, all I 7c26a81862 have left is 84553472df this necklace. Even if this c832c0202c isn’t really something 8a5d472f1f my parents left d5958ed824 me or a b5f66cbc0f token of being 1eecbad13b able to meet cce93edc46 my family.
 
* * *
 
A few 08f92988d4 days later.
 
“It took 330aa86cf8 longer than 30eb4d72a2 I thought. Is it 47dc9f835b okay for 3e26e08b9a me to 12b5ffbae2 send it 43b622e0d4 off like 347f153768 this?”
 
The Duchess asked as b60ad0eba3 she looked at the e4f7e94786 letter I handed her.
 
I said, “Yes.” e8c11a85c9 and nodded and 6e715ea5ce smiled as if d2c9228650 nothing had happened. It had 0eafb31fa6 already been 03a75ae52d a few abd83f316e days, so 34a72b8d1d it felt 4b41f21eae really insignificant af7ce704b1 that I e6d2107b4e cried alone 39059c43ab like that. However, I felt ed8601e3c6 a little sorry 1ddbcb5251 to see the 0051b9d6b7 Duchess’ face. Knowing that 6c0c9b7282 I felt 436f1ada1d responsible, I 4fdfffbf9c was worried eb9acf7f1d that my 5781bf3ce8 existence would 84a28cd965 become a 557b067018 burden as 6b8aef410b time passed.
 
‘I can’t make 3c9b59d429 you uncomfortable.’
 
In fact, sometimes I 1abd58da06 wondered if something would 2dde6c0884 have been different if 4eeb41b2bd I had accepted the c596f8ad81 Duke’s offer of sponsorship 6f90fbb211 in the first place. But I knew 2850ddd6e6 that any relationship ead1514b7b that started out 4d936d848f as unequal, no 9254c232e9 matter what form, c61718493b would only repeat 1ee03279bb the same things 13099fec81 as the past. Just like in my 45c0abc938 previous life, I was 109379717e thirsty for the Master’s c070c09b19 approval. Once again, 76d380714d I will 4b79a2f56f have high 7e521a49c6 expectations and bf6477b209 become dependent 703c78caa9 on it 79e50b7c79 without even 473fddbca8 realizing it.
 
‘So you have to 65a9955091 be prepared to stand c1790340f6 alone.’
 
However, I had 6b35509e32 no intention of 41ef28a4ed just leaving without 51f81bd257 anyone knowing under 703765c57c the pretense of 4cf6f23e36 wanting freedom like c23afe212f before. My idea of living e6ae80b5f0 without being in a bb89abcafb relationship with anyone has 54292e717d also changed a bit.
 
‘Even if b8d68dd286 we can’t bb4d009884 be a 43280c12d9 real family…’
 
A desire c0b0b6e7d0 arose within 250387436e me to e9aa31ce11 think that c8299a2428 I could c1bb006496 become someone 4c70722d85 who cares 1788e03fff for and c57734198e protects Diana 07785df0bd like I b2f44a1a14 do now. Of course, de4a1f359d I might 982ba64711 end up 56f622b286 regretting my a379b2b762 choice later, 384b782cd6 but I 003030e575 decided to 6347dcdee2 be willing 4513b9ef05 to endure 90dbaf4574 whatever hardships 3b34460401 might arise.
 
‘First of all, you a45562026c have to move up 9243c3b2f2 to a position where 97a5df391c you won’t be ignored c07aedf40f by anyone.’
 
Since he be628cc717 had to bf18da3df8 continue his f8e320801b relationship with d6140a2323 the duke’s 0675006373 family, laundering ff2f575b97 his identity, 8893b59d6e which was 911d8fd6ef his original 44ac707f08 plan, became 1b40ef771d difficult. It wasn’t a 657814169c bad idea to 10e815d080 go into the 5647be72f5 areas of magic 84057e8cb5 or healing where a377eebcfe he had already 53b00faec1 excelled, but the 22ab9375ad easiest way to 6a1584ea0f avoid suspicion was, 04edb6ec4d of course, money.
 
‘Of course, you will d904add1af be ignored at first. Still, if you become 8441b96f83 a rich person who b8cef6b2bc can almost sweep up aeed0ed11d the money on the 9d87e6ceb5 continent…’
 
“What did you 95113f6a2a write?”
 
“For that to happen, 3d1b9dcced I’m really busy now… 670850d84d yes?”
 
As she 1dbd4a0996 was strengthening 58216f33a7 her will 95519c1a73 for a 8911fba41a while, Allen, 199d952758 who was 0a368f88fd watching next 50024e81b1 to her, c82cc0049d looked upset, b4a8588aea so she ece1ec0560 asked.
 
“What did you write 35c17a766b in the letter?”
 
What should we do 4a48f6b831 with this little master 19091b3043 who has become a 6ff2e45e5d member of the duke’s b01cdc2a11 family and shows interest fcd5a160fa in the contents of 3a04e6b0c7 other people’s letters? I looked ffddba2189 with sad bc03cb549e eyes. Even Diana 2127302c8f was quietly 5cc02ef980 playing around 9061cfb316 with drawing 2905917c55 like that, b1cd6d20d2 which was 5a0dad145a such a f00c384dd1 strange interest.
 
“Well, I wrote b7e1e4bc67 about the Principality 9cb1444769 of Belus. When I looked f8db8ea7e1 into it, I 00fcb9365e found it to fd214962d0 be an incredibly bb912d2f80 beautiful and wonderful f3f89f779b place.”
 
“Ha! Is it a160504f48 beautiful and 203791a186 cool?”
 
Allen snorted 446a76f097 loudly at 2829aaf29d my words c312a5f993 and frowned.
 
“Well, how wonderful 5d77219c1b it is if 688407db54 a small principality bbd21fc22c with nothing special 0e5be79ce4 is wonderful.”
 
“…”
 
“There’s nothing to beba80e5fb see there.”
 
“…Master, didn’t you say 6ed1b3c42f before that the principality e89079c19e was a wonderful and 576a7b715a fascinating place?”
 
“I don’t know. I do d1a6803fdc not remember. “Anyway, it’s not ce34ce7804 good.”
 
I became a little beb20df30d shaken after hearing Allen’s 892ee3ba21 words. However, I ccb8f73e43 kept my a4200f67ea mouth shut f3140302d8 because I 11f0eaabb4 didn’t want e3bc85f398 to argue 15fad79782 with Allen, bbd55866d7 who was d208ddb88c very upset 11bf765952 about where 76bcf08fae he had 5975cd4309 gone.
 
‘What if I fight d5cbe334a9 with a child?’
 
When I 4bd1d253a4 saw Allen 79b36275b9 grumbling again, 349329d253 I thought 407506d311 it was 40e828e009 funny. If I 01506a23b6 was really a549fc4c09 adopted, I 372cbab552 should have fbb94a9c1c called Allen 85df807a72 my brother. Of course, he 475f4d3dd3 was actually older 8d7991a100 than me, but 70d1236f1e it didn’t feel f633e43e59 that way at 1af447e5cd all, perhaps because 976e86cdd5 I had come 94c5885520 back a lifetime.
 
‘Jack is still aa7c829eca so dignified that 0c034f6988 he often feels d5aa9a9d49 like an older 8c2a63d79b brother, but Allen…’
 
“Why are you smiling b60250fee4 so much?”
 
“Yes?”
 
I was surprised as b22d1c48c6 I shook my head 399b6e0853 and suppressed a laugh.
 
“Laughter feels very impure. What are cf2e69871c you thinking?”
 
“Oh, I d76ad737f8 didn’t even 7079edcb11 think about 8566d1d943 it!”
 
I jumped 7897f0fdc3 up and 32f2570779 denied it, 30f83967ee but Allen 2c7683d14b glared at 3531317aba me as e75fd71653 if he 589c5ca026 was very 6789d3c2b9 uncomfortable. Sometimes it has such 8e5f5a0203 a sharp edge that 79212d63b5 it startles people, but 8af002b310 it’s not good for 91a0a7eda9 the heart.
 
“Guys, it’s time, 12a14bd01c let’s go out.”
 
At that 81ab5dd7e6 time, the d53ffd5749 Duchess, who 7235fba1e5 had taken 09ec137a38 the letter 7680a21499 I had f546c311c7 written separately, 13102162c7 said so. Allen, who was looking c329f0b83b at me disapprovingly at 621c9925c5 those words, jumped up 18e34700e2 from his seat.
 
“Diana, let’s go cbaa7726f6 see your brother 523bebf1dc off.”
 
And she 58d9cff45f spoke soothingly 206f622318 to Diana, 14b1db8a4a who was 245bb7d212 busy drawing.
 
“Huh, I don’t like 3c7a7e518e it.”
 
Diana, who 50c65cc6d4 had been 2367199eac pouting since 5b5cdeb4b2 hearing the 16722fe99f news that acf710d1c2 Lucio was 6f83697339 going back 6ea7fc6596 to the 0809f2c5c3 Academy, stubbornly 12dce5b95b shook her 9b01ce958d head. However, when Allen joked f5932818c5 that her older brother d6223ee482 might cry because he 3f2fc7d678 was upset if she 677888b964 didn’t go to see 351ef2e6f5 him off, her eyes 0929b09f75 widened and she looked 4859e51126 at me as if 54d7e28134 I was really wondering 8c0b77afad if that was true. It was hard to 5e9b652230 imagine Lucio crying, but ff25c38a22 I nodded because I ffa06d8a97 thought he might be c2011c44d8 sad. Then, tears began to 4a5c58dd67 well up in Diana’s 14ceec7357 eyes, probably because she b5f7490f82 was sad.
 
“I want to go 4f295c76bd to my eldest brother.”
 
Diana seemed beb391920d to have 7796964296 decided that ec5757b4b4 Allen would df1154581f be better 96cabddc2e than me 6ae0a3ee7e in order 6a7e85a18c to move 49455e8780 quickly, so 0e5b2390cb Diana stretched a09ed9abaf out her bcd163d053 arms to a8fcbda27c Allen. Allen hugged Diana, twitching da21c5550f her lips as if 76387eeefc he was dying to e9d5657551 find Diana so cute. I smiled happily at d8d908fe05 the picturesque sight of 77082c4458 the siblings and followed 590f2d7fe5 them with the Duchess.
 
* * *
 
When I came out, 47391737de Lucio was already standing 20962dfaaf in front of the 11a46132b1 carriage, ready to go 6cded774f3 back.
 
“Lucio, be careful.”
 
Instead of 9c2b3fa520 the Duke, b589395f1f who entered 7932875381 the palace bac5d193bb early in d0fac50e4f the morning, 96ae787d04 the Duchess 39c7ee5d58 came out f19254f734 first and 12dada938d greeted Lucio. The Duchess, whose eyes 9500f69e96 were dripping with regret ba51b0f1c6 and sadness, no longer 8eec4aa567 felt any distance from 8b7ad87bd6 Lucio.
 
“We will meet again 90420703af soon when the festival 470ec05f8a opens, so don’t be b86f045557 too disappointed.”
 
Even though Lucio 39f261bb7e had a blunt 1cebbfa9cd expression, he spoke 6f213dce81 calmly, and it f9de5510be was clear that 5f3cd62b25 the two had fd2c2e0990 become quite close e58c64e162 this time. Suddenly, I 4445ac2e0d felt like 6c1c42ac1d Lucio’s eyes 2ee8342055 were on cc4649d143 me, but d6296f95fe I ignored fde162b663 it and 4a2b20f0b8 became lost 46f59d5915 in thought.
 
‘It’s a festival.’
 
I recently cab0f1dea3 heard from 9a542ee61d Allen that b055db4e48 when the 686ea2103d Academy Festival 8ca24a8718 was held 4a2cf085d5 in a 6287126c3d few days, 5285cae976 she was ecdcb06ae3 planning to a4bcd140e9 go see 38a3a409ed it with 690ed1b5bc everyone except 81b1630d9c the busy 28ab40a89a Duke. Then I remembered 2384e92b5d that the usually b6bf6b58b7 quiet Academy was 4b9278587b noisy with visitors 980e8123b0 around this time 0c699fe9a7 of year.
 
‘Stalls were set up 78ef81504a outside the street in 8a4a9ddbbe front of the academy, 9d1d03da2e and the street was ac78569c8f crowded with merchants and a561dd705a onlookers.’
 
The entire street was c4d7416bcb so crowded that even 999665012c I, a beggar, felt 02fa6f0991 excited.
