EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_69

Ch. 069 CHAPTER 88866a6a4b 069Because Allen b221f9c84b and Diana 15b9af2e69 were so bc321c23c8 excited in 69004dcede the morning, 436dbcff22 we arrived d83daa9572 in front 05bee7f20e of the 4d535b7764 main building e40172e2e2 early, even a5a36547d5 before the 640ab6cc60 Duchess had 23b269a901 finished getting 071c05645c ready. It was time 414e90163c to greet the c6d80e45ab carriage that was 77ffaed8a6 waiting in advance, 41c1fa0244 Taze, who was 82aa98f9af in charge of 22fb65f4ad escorting, and Jack, e891c14ed1 who was once b0a9d0e119 again wearing an f3e6fd269e apprentice knight’s uniform a1078377fd and helping with 6673188c2f the escort.
 
“Wow, what are 454e2fcb2c you doing?”
 
Allen asked with a cd13a6c566 surprised look on her 3b849ebd00 face. I followed his 4214aeef35 gaze and saw 8da76f3413 that he was 0392baee1a looking at the 48170afe23 fat pockets I a1b8475db6 was wearing.
 
“This is 8834b7f37c the salary 302f2eb1f1 I have 68c75e28df saved so 3c7fce8cd4 far.”
 
I was 57f3b90c05 a little 9f81b3ac36 embarrassed, lifted 82fad21416 my chin, 0dbf9fe91b and proudly d168808ac3 patted my 43117ecdcc pocket. Even though all 91b6f24b3c I’ve been doing 0286fbb5ff lately is comfortable 90a0d249f2 things like playing 4b69ae8620 with Diana and a498997ba3 reading books at 9778c314e1 the library, I’m b20fe2fab5 still very happy. At that 4a5fc820f3 time, Allen 7a1ab6afc8 asked with 89fb532b0f wide eyes.
 
“Where are 8a68db0c0b you going b5fd9c0b2d to buy 2aa9613035 land?”
 
“… yes?”
 
I narrowed my eyes, ff63aaf74d wondering if he was a2e26bfb6c making fun of me db76d459d9 by saying something absurd, 7ee5547e4a but Allen’s eyes were dbc611d158 truly full of sincerity. Still, he was wondering ca7a0fb8a9 if he was completely 0c89768158 oblivious, and when he 8b47046218 saw Taze suppressing his 76f93540d0 laughter, he said, “…Or 093cd98c7a home?” and tilted his 3a0e8ef547 head. I cried, clutching d94a0e5426 my pockets full 79467d1367 of coins. I felt edcd51f363 very sad 41b62c072d for Allen, b1b5c094dd who had a67f2ddf2f no sense 3cb0159a22 of money. But how many a533bcf8f8 noble masters like 104ab290d0 Allen have ever 582db711e4 made money like 019527e612 this? Moreover, I quickly b552120953 felt relieved because d6cb2f3ab8 there was enough 7fb982251e money in the 2467cd4e0d safe in my 1882446503 name at the 3864501347 capital bank to be4b656af4 buy land or 9dde51e6b6 a house.
 
“I worked 4d1a333833 hard to f28cd5ac96 save up 43f71b0d43 my salary, 9a2ddcb402 but it’s c7a7793118 not that 9560f59b35 much.”
 
“Okay? But why did you ec508a070d bring all that out?”
 
“Young master, as 1aca7ddbcb you kept singing, a4b84610bc this is our af3669f493 first time out 2c357a8191 in the capital. When I heard about cca2dce85c it, there were a e5e781d074 lot of shops and 8336213a5a stalls in front of 3295996f24 the academy. So, I’ll grab 031c6e1b8f some snacks and 75d490c045 buy whatever I 2ed1fd44da want.”
 
For example, 1d5089ef4e something that 6015931eca will become d0dc11659b the basis a8da775b5c of my cada1ae6fb plan.
 
“Uh… I have no 62769a49f7 money, what should I 1d7d9e2f38 do?”
 
Allen’s eyes, who had 376b8e72c2 been very excited by b841a0821f my words, drooped down. I almost 69bc82de1a burst out 49039b1295 laughing at 2027d82e80 the face 67694c8252 filled with 82e292fccb genuine concern. Even if 8082db7a08 I chose 63fe0a568a anything, the ba95ee7bd2 escorts behind 77a9b04ba2 me would 3c09235c0f pay on 7be2812bb6 their own, 8a51f7f473 so it 693a707342 was a 9295da2f15 useless worry.
 
“I don’t have 31dd513bf7 any money, so c40e32b808 what should I d0094da8c5 do…”
 
Even Diana, who 29b01bb460 was listening to 5d7b350d46 the conversation next 7869bc3a59 to us, looked 885324dff4 tearful. It was a time bd09ee7c92 when Diana was willing 3e1d974785 to tell me that a801ed9eb1 I could buy her d64588f9e2 as much snacks as 1751048535 she wanted with the ce615bceee money I saved.
 
“Well. It doesn’t work 7ed972a6b8 if you don’t 299f6fafbc have money.”
 
The Duke appeared with 35bc6a549b the Duchess who had 48344c4909 finished preparing.
 
“I went out as 62911ddacb much as I could, 031e757ae5 but wouldn’t it be d474ec98fb sad if I couldn’t 42d3c5b4d7 buy what I wanted 7f86a92a05 to eat?”
 
So what 1b994bd26d should he 9de77a5795 do? As the 66496652e6 Duke looked 648e3b5f19 at him 973ea85e08 intently, Diana d9fe3746f5 and Allen 4bf6d1027f quickly ran f6f198aabe in front 44e864d84a of the de55c8a524 Duke and 7203a95e5a held out 9e190c57bb their hands.
 
“Please!”
 
“Father, money!”
 
The Duke burst 5fa2101cdf out laughing at 68d3837cda the sight of 72ecadbbc7 his children proudly d1e56543e9 praising him as 6a7cb28cad if they had ca7af76b79 come to retrieve 3622c8079c something he had f4b2cb231d left behind, but 96778800ee then he took 09e4b0628b out a bag 565f6a84e4 that seemed to 353f1d16e6 have been prepared 136a1620d9 in advance.
 
“Now, it’s 74b8451ebc pocket money.”
 
“Wow!”
 
“Kya!”
 
The sight of d8d6c13d4e Allen and Diana 8a2757e3d3 jumping up and 2e35d3e474 down in turns 6284a35a81 was so innocent a334f0aebd that I couldn’t f9daedf59b help but laugh. It was then.
 
“Come on, Lia. This is your pocket ee7d65b65f money.”
 
The Duchess handed ff196f812f me a pouch 9cf7243a78 the same color 5c921e5b24 as hers.
 
“Mine?”
 
As I blinked 810c50b7a9 in embarrassment, the 999dbd0371 Duchess put the 15161b125e pouch in her 96c136b26f hand and said,
 
“Of course. Did you think 0453118539 I left out f627f434db yours?”
 
“But… I 2eb660472c have money.”
 
“I know. But that’s money you aba62e3d44 earned through hard work, 2fc945ce91 and this is pocket 71a607b121 money.”
 
“…”
 
I was 60ef18ba1c speechless and d51a2afd3b stared blankly 1d3400bef8 at the 7fdef5f8b7 pocket in 572319b6a7 my hand. It was the first 7a0d6e6a0a allowance I had ever a1f1572b1f received in my life. The guild executives ce02138928 also liked me 087e0569b1 a lot and 4d3346ef8f bought me various 6e8d1ca9aa delicious things, but 1d2084a474 they never gave e39ecf7aca me pocket money f8dc3e9d0c like this.
 
“Taze, you’re a first-time bb98cee115 dad, so you didn’t d3206b1c22 even think about preparing 77b26cc85c for something like this, 5133f63c2f right?”
 
The Duke 0fbbe28b57 looked at 072da0aa02 Taze, who e939fe0500 had been a930ca9d83 at a d0712dee0e loss since 5d6072c0ac the word 75b2a97144 ‘pocket money’ 89e5271fe6 was mentioned, 8d5cedb1a5 and proudly ff24ebc864 gave Jack 2ea60f8bab a pocket 8ce4b4f3b3 as well.
 
“I’m not going 4df838c806 there to have 5e9d15c6c3 fun…”
 
After hesitating, he suddenly ba1c702139 seemed to have thought 4e20d40449 of something and took 20866ce31d the bag and nodded, ad0c8f925b thanking him. Taze’s face was 3b081be6bb colored with self-destruction cea44a49db and frustration in 674918b00d real time.
 
“Okay, let’s go 85d5c897fc now.”
 
The Duchess called 6cfcea77f7 the children together 82b3b026d6 to get into 844c1a857f her carriage.
 
When I 9d38044ecf saw that, ecc1e3b237 I secretly 7591b77693 smiled. Actually, we 995b01cc7e came out f7708a571d early, but 55896f6de6 the Duchess d02e1f02f9 also came 817cec505b out quite 9db44b65ae early. Although she did d5bc94c921 not chatter for 803e3e3eea days like Allen, edf8e5360a she also seemed 86e21c1f73 to be looking ad9f64b355 forward to meeting 7913e5fe15 Lucio. I was about 007b6f08db to get on 2c583be6d2 the carriage, feeling 9bc6893658 my heart pounding b232ea33c5 for some reason.
 
“Please be careful.”
 
The Duke, 3c0cc039e3 who was 2a410b1063 watching Allen 4a056d1ee3 and Diana 0963c821f4 getting into 217f4cab9a the carriage, 4c72b202b5 gave me 1a2ab97b3c one last 760522106f look and 10e40e3f3e said. As expected, the Duke 64eda82e2d seemed to think that 9f0f462eba I was more trustworthy 910b468669 than Allen, the oldest 04da399137 of them all.
 
I smiled broadly 9784b0b54d and said, “Yes!”.
 
* * *
 
A carriage e546fe58dc carrying children 2061efbb22 left the f8c2ed2a59 Duke’s residence.  3e3d4a222c The Duke, c9749e4ddf who had 647d8e5e35 been watching 65b4c47d73 the carriage d7a7de177c drive away, ecc90b3c9e returned to f328f02e68 his office e37d24f8ea to prepare 357ca7be5d for the 64aa34d24b upcoming meeting 9484fff6ac of his 2a75ed7a49 retainers. And he 821f30b977 was reading fed62bfaec documents as f6fb2afa68 usual.
 
〈Lucio seems to think 188e8d0aff Lia is special.〉
 
Suddenly, he remembered d963e9bc38 what his wife 429f260e15 said a few 6859e4ae2a days ago. He gave bc7dfa0bb0 her a e3be6872a3 puzzled look 288a32fac8 as if f549c40a42 asking what 021c78d61e she was 18ca7a8ba3 talking about, 793bd107d2 and his f7d5d32765 wife explained ebb5cfceb1 what happened 2c6a78ab93 at that 2c1a1e9791 time, saying 0ded949f32 that she 5136eefcb4 was surprised 2e705a93f5 to see f02bacf871 Lucio treating f35a5ad0f0 Lia just 30a0e07c25 before leaving fec7ee4168 for the 24f21b922d academy.
 
〈I have never fe0c344953 seen Lucio be 24b39be087 so kind to 50dbf4162e someone.〉
 
〈Well, he knows that 7d92d7b3ef his family is precious 07cc89f656 too. Even though he 36fa77f650 couldn’t accept her f843e7e9f7 as his sister, ab3b26fbf4 he would have 84fad01ded been grateful to 82e8b04bfc her to have 0190656c18 taken care of eb54430050 Diana. Lia is just as 08bf72fb56 special to us.〉
 
〈That’s right.〉
 
But the d017d5a8cd Duchess laughed 6026679ae4 softly, saying 8ab46555f5 that it dfbdaaa577 was surprising 27b24b667b that it 69a1d58045 was Lucio, aa189174b7 not anyone 8c7a91ea98 else.
 
〈By the way, what 03a3713daf happened to what you 1bec73e38c decided to find out?〉
 
And at c9532c8ec9 the next 668c576f04 words, the e0808e090c Duke’s face 9b3e6da6ef darkened. As his e4815eb909 attempt to 3d6a3726c2 adopt Lia 47a04240e0 fell through 732ed5174b some time 55e0a2416d ago, he 40fbc673b1 was looking 66301bb5b1 for a 4d8a407c15 new adopter 5acca8bb13 to whom 4586fe5622 he could fe4936b0ff place her. He thought that 5cdb1a6bee Lia was still 945db59799 young, and that 7842eb8686 she had no 215e6a0631 intention of settling fbed4f0886 down in one 5bab17092f place and needed f3220b48e7 a guardian to d66f227c34 control her wandering c031ba4f2b mind. Of course, he wanted 87aa8f7325 to be that kind f6d257d1e3 of strong fence, but 113bac77c4 since that had become a729f0d2a8 difficult, the Duke wanted 86af663338 to somehow create a e87d1fb629 family to put down 137c28d37c roots. But it wasn’t really 95883c82b2 a miracle. Since he intended to b00561538f keep Lia by Diana’s 81ce7850fc side, he had to dde4f47346 find someone who would 9b1b589377 be within the confines 8860be979a of the Duke of f87ed11834 Elad, who would not 087e9df1f5 be greedy, would appreciate f7aa5ea59a her good nature, and cea732471d most of all, would 22d831a35f truly care for Lia 5c466e30a1 and accept her as 945819291c a family. Because not long ffa4b07aac ago, when Taze f5bbf6b4df hinted that he b4c40113ce wanted to adopt 1867a49953 the Knights’ Jack c86c75c246 and Lia, he 92dc1f25f8 sent them back b4a0353f27 to ask the 46eb50b9bf children first. 
When she heard that 472cf7a496 Lia had refused, he f833845db2 suddenly regretted what he bfee362a2b had been secretly wanting. Of course, she rejected 2aa916ab65 Taze, not him, and 4e601f495a acted as a good c7f7766c7a daughter. Although Lia 462c6007b8 still didn’t 78c57e0b83 want to 7f18f20b4d see him, 2272fc2810 Taze was 220314d5ff a trustworthy 7b1bcf957f guy. After recalling ada85be540 his wife’s fc122fbebd equally distressed cf162a34d4 face for f8bc13bd29 the last de105e77ef time, the 101f9cf6b2 Duke decided a5818f4c4a that he bd5a004571 should check 20eccc3d01 again to f79970acbf see if a54f6c2a79 any of f2c56bd42d his childless 52a78f4c9e vassals were 49699b2901 alright at e29d9acc80 the meeting 08c1c50424 to be 07b8091e36 held a 69617e007e little later.
 
* * *
 
The atmosphere inside the d701ea38c9 carriage heading to the 8e03b9d26f academy was better than 36de7681d7 ever. Allen and Diana, who 835b7a7287 were excited about going 30a6efaa4a out for the first f5e8d88667 time in a while, bba73a6e15 laughed and chattered non-stop, 4d12968645 and the scenery of d0bb73ea35 the street passing quickly 0085e3b910 outside the window captured 75acd24ba7 the lively atmosphere of edd732733b a green summer.
 
“So, when 532b6de4c1 we go ca1678754d to the 7c7ed9f528 academy, let’s a954360510 ask Askal 660b5df233 to show 238043baa8 us rainbow f856db6cbc magic. I made a c34181b66c lot of bubbles fa76fafe9f when I was 6ede7c746f little, and it e872b693ca was no joke!”
 
At that 8cedb72927 time, I fb40029b58 blinked as e6b5275a8c I listened 3c8bac2b93 to Allen’s 5b2b189848 words with 395fecf77c a flushed c8c121980e face. I remembered the c11a5b7fa0 conversation that Prince 5eba437b70 Nicholas had with cae63ccf02 Allen last time fafff9510f when he visited 2d25a6c4dd the Duke’s residence.
 
“Young master. Are you 4fdc7dc2b0 by any bc2e4b3ffb chance referring 3dc6d421de to Grand 4aaca3fbc9 Duke Ascarte 613b4e6fa6 Belus?”
 
“Uh?”
 
“I think the old d613e56d91 master said that last 79de9b10e3 time.”
 
As I spoke, 8541b4cdea my eyes suddenly 2032b4bfa2 opened. Wasn’t the Grand Duke 9d2f7a1cfa of Belus the heir 7d189be093 to the powerful Duchy b8a527f219 of Belus, and a 1c9bb25513 man who was famous 953f573565 for his good looks 7c2a173674 in the past along c5d86e9309 with Lucio?
 
‘He is also the aa5576fc0c grandson of the Marquis 21871c4860 of Diappelle, who protects 310596678a the borders of the 9414e36608 empire!’
 
〈Grandpa, are 372db0c4be you okay?〉
 
〈It’s okay, thank 0ccf7a6feb you.〉
 
At that time, a 06b00db584 memory I had forgotten df2ed26c10 suddenly came to mind. Among the nobles 864473fce4 I met, the 504b55e35b Marquis Diappelle was 54245f7996 one of the ef80e96bcf few nobles who 6341d23b94 did not look 76f8b1216d down on commoners 1cc42b4825 and treated them 49aa5df647 like people. In my past life, 6a46a6e1d8 I had an unexpected 6b34a1b61f relationship with the Marquis d3e98c380a of Diappelle, and in 767e8ff09f this life, with Bianca, 5c51a756e4 and for some reason, 4609a8ff96 I was glad to 1eccb7e3b1 hear the name of a3748166c3 someone related to both 2d0b64766f of them. When I asked with c3bcdafb1b sparkling eyes, the smile e33ac785ad on Allen’s face, which afb80a5b6e had been talking excitedly c1f6c377b7 just a moment ago, d26f59037e gradually disappeared.
 
“Uh… Now that c20bc6e038 I think about 7550a642da it, Askal…”
 
Allen, who suddenly a096a408e8 became serious, pursed f122b7da2b his lips and 8ef81ba368 looked worried. I tilted my head 970515a697 and asked why, but 3a3bfb9c50 Allen kept his mouth 1cdb40dec0 shut and didn’t say 72336cf97c anything until we arrived 59180fdee0 at the academy.
 
* * *
 
“Wow!”
 
Diana jumped 9792430b73 out of e12235fe21 her carriage, baa1952cdd her eyes 139bbabc6f wide, and 3704d2ca80 screamed. I also looked a97f4ea6ca at the academy 9de108a017 surrounded by a 5e0edcbac0 high wall with 06a8103af2 new eyes. Although it was clearly 3265e12082 the same place as 8cf6121505 I remembered from before, 70b3c29415 the impression was completely 54866a527d different. Fragments of sunlight fell 06689764bc through the leaves of 78a8501f12 the beautiful trees, and 6560534e0f the streets were full e4d638f9a0 of energy and laughter, d4687a8d03 with carriages crowded together 7af02a4675 and countless people passing 912331296b by. It was 455377a0b0 so beautiful e82e01336d that I 844065c2ad couldn’t believe eebcd34a2b that this 45dd29745d was the 746d739965 place I e72b22fca9 ran away 7ab6d9b26a to die 5a700ed176 on a 5b5ee7facc rainy day.
 
“Hmm, I guess we 7b35a20255 came too early.”
 
The Duchess looked up 1741557b57 at the clock tower 0a6479d7d3 near the academy’s main 59e6e57eb0 entrance and looked embarrassed.
 
“I thought I would be4214a370 be pushed out because 2515400768 there were so many 7ac20ea4ea people.”
 
Because we 0d4506bd4e left so bbf77ee447 early, it 893c7d6a09 seems we 1c19e17577 arrived much 4948350ece earlier than 732380a4b8 the time 2015ee8c32 promised with 660a7facb8 Lucio. First of 95d08c0656 all, I f0040b70ba decided to 59765006fd wait in b6754eccad front of 738ba3f769 Lucio until 9de6ec95bc he came 72cbf0044f out.
