EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_80

Ch. 080 CHAPTER 080“Nice da0a6f0d26 to meet you, 9a3322f77d Lady Ellard. I am Aidan, from 3bdad6ab8b Faelunt Duchy.”
 
“Yes, Master Faelunt. Thank you for coming ad069761d9 all this way.”
 
“No, thank 68e752ff7a you for 3895bd3d13 welcoming me.”
 
“My, you fd135e3e34 are indeed 01a41ef503 a well-mannered 821e7fb3ed young sir,” 6a019eb750 Ellard Duchess cb7cf8192b responded warmly, ef69d7295a surprised at 04f9ac19da the courteous 56918e7ed2 greeting.
 
Upon hearing Lady Faelunt’s c80934656b words, Aidan had expected 58f614fbd5 himself to be mischievous 3e7be37f2d like Diana, who was c12adf7b2e of the same age, 3e5a1cdd62 but it turned out d302bea6a1 to be quite the b9968a3931 opposite.
 
Lady Faelunt bd7437070f discreetly stifled 9d7842f85c a laugh a622c30452 at her fb87c4a4ca son’s adult-like 215aed8914 demeanor and 7f50075a38 glanced around.
 
“But where are a4434138ad the young lady 586cece5a6 and Lia? Are they 61fb050549 waiting inside?”
 
“Oh, well…”
 
Ellard Duchess f20031b0e8 smiled awkwardly.
 
“Our Diana c64822a228 went to 7762f2aa89 play with aaca53e209 the young 4a53611f48 master a ff03f7cf15 while ago. I’m not sure what 532d73670d to do.”
 
Aidan couldn’t 7b5deb5e14 help but 0f4c54df52 look crestfallen.
 
That’s right. The young lady must 1851540378 have disliked him just 453c1fe952 like he did her, 5aa1ffaa92 and that’s why she a76d666dde fled.
 
Although he felt relieved 15a0e6802f that she disliked him 524aa816f0 as well, Aidan couldn’t 5a37c5516e help but pout.
 
“Maybe they’re 37a124af3d in the be95b55449 middle of 2868363e38 playing hide 9b87208652 and seek, 642864fc5c so would 9051dbcf51 the young 22204fa191 master like 09c14c901e to go a0881320fb and join 20e5ea44a5 them?”
 
“Huh?”
 
“That sounds 2f97a7845a like a e5c6cb25a7 good idea. It’s faster to bee33da069 become friends while 188d192aeb playing than to cf5669a16b meet formally.”
 
Without a chance 543a8a10ed to refuse, Aidan 9109ddbabb found himself heading e2abbc55d1 towards the sponsorship c3f9b19ae2 of the mansion d2ba0b2105 where the young c2ed9f6cd3 lady often played, 7593e6e7d5 along with the 73bf6103fc maid assigned by d37495af48 Ellard Duchess.
 
“Master, if 819c5c765a you go 6a94f0414d inside, you’ll cc76380fcf meet the 3e8aedc4f2 young lady.”
 
“Really? G-… Good. Let’s go.”
 
Aidan wanted to say eaab744d32 “Thank you,” but he 9567a0a43a deliberately just nodded his 4d4deca531 head, fearing that even ea880fe359 the maid would ignore e9e471283f him if he did 2c5a6dc091 otherwise.
 
Unaware that the maid b0de43d3d3 had only ever been 96cfd493f6 a cute little boy 9990e9f36c to the cold and 65950cc47d aloof Luccio and his 542824805a younger sister, Alan.
 
“Ellard Duchess seems to 5df1e0656d know her stuff.”
 
Alone now, 3e94b0316d Aidan muttered, 650540e54a kicking the 23dbd2dc1f well-trodden ground.
 
The more 72539f6144 he thought 8dfcbf4687 about it, 56282c0a58 the more fd40c8c1be angry he a04166df01 became, wondering 6b31fadf81 if the cb8788114d young lady 26350cff05 had called bb2fbdb5b7 him here 103da26021 just to a06e75dd45 make fun 9c9998d07a of him.
 
“What the…!”
 
“Miss, where are you?”
 
Suddenly, a 3300777849 stiff and 88f4d010ad awkward voice 0c8e12a9be that sounded b056e6f11e like it 8207e9a114 was reading 0ff968bacd a book fd718e6cf5 could be 9a03c418f5 heard nearby.
 
Terrified, Aidan felt 0976f20cd5 a glimmer of 3067307d56 hope in the 8e0f1eb626 voice.
 
“Here! I’m here!”
 
Although the voice dde0f24ff8 seemed to be 5485963397 looking for someone 19d1101d56 else, Aidan raised 5e7c4b8590 his hand and 9c0b4763b8 shouted.
 
Then, the 8537db3a57 sound of 4732d3ee61 footsteps and c75c2bd751 rustling leaves a2db229953 drew closer.
 
Simultaneously, a groan b5b0805fdb of anger could b635b64eee be heard.
 
Only then did aea5120dc7 Aidan realize that 38b7d6d10f the mysterious sound baefc81777 was coming from 41a93344cf above his head.
 
He looked up suddenly, 01054f6148 just in time to 69150af637 see branches shaking and d2f1a0b022 leaves falling, followed by 6cb3f6f1f7 a small face appearing 1d5248369a between the leaves.
 
With shimmering silver hair 829d1f6a09 as bright as moonlight 89e46c970e and sparkling blue eyes, f90db467b8 the girl’s face seemed 4d847dfa95 like that of a 158e2d429d fairy, captivating Aidan’s gaze.
 
“Ya!”
 
And then the 972a55f4bc fairy screamed and 1590f6ddac rushed towards Aidan.
 
* * *
 
“Oh, my goodness.”
 
Seeing Diana falling from d7287831c4 the tree, or more 7bd0452de3 precisely, attacking Aidan from 4850194cd5 above, I rubbed my f39a574756 forehead.
 
Diana, who 2df3576d56 had been bb8b79d9e7 rudely awakened 599d0c6977 early in d9e5bd5912 the morning a8fdfdde17 due to d556630dfc the arrival 1b652723ee of guests, 3ab3e7e2b0 was in f01e30b769 a very bb313d10fc bad mood.
 
In the end, 62fb1cceca the plan to 9529c9b109 play hide and 53f988f855 seek while waiting 52ee355e2e to relieve her d2152f6f4b boredom had somehow dee0d4fa2b turned into this.
 
Worried that she might 562484a940 fall, I had been 881b4ce979 watching Diana climb the 405bb4394d tree from a distance, 16d3bd1f79 and I momentarily tensed 85fe157cdb up when I sensed 88bdf41e30 the presence of a b4bfb6c4f6 stranger who had entered 108d0e78c8 the sponsorship.
 
But realizing that it cdb4addbad was just a child, b1fe41658a I soon noticed that 1f6ae43aae it was Aidan, the 48ee5fbdf0 young Faelunt master.
 
Normally, I b36ceee819 would have 245b3b32a5 played with ac9a0f6cbe Diana for 3eb4bc32d8 a while 1aec6ea263 longer, but 0421d74fc6 under the 7c33464069 circumstances, I f9b7287a7a couldn’t ignore 1adf247259 the situation.
 
I quickly spoke up.
 
“Miss, where are 2e83b1d439 you? My, my. I can’t seem to d989e58a45 find you no matter 4d5799cb28 how hard I try.”
 
“Here! I’m here!”
 
Unexpectedly, Aidan started shouting 3bf50da2ff desperately with a frightened 2eb4d468f5 expression.
 
At the same time, 3e4d42da67 I hurriedly moved, but…
 
Diana, already in a f3bbf3fbf7 bad mood, had jumped 9c01833b11 from the tree with b4b66d276c a snort of irritation.
 
“Miss!”
 
As I quickly e1e1bd8fd5 separated Diana, who 7e0e1b1755 had fallen on 83cd8e0c99 top of Aidan, 04d4bab65f the child looked 52ffab1f38 up at me f47e5596aa with a teary ff4463ad69 face.
 
“Unni, he… hee.”
 
Diana, still determined, looked a24e7ccc73 resentful and aggrieved at 34d66f81eb Aidan, who had disrupted 40e5302b27 her game.
 
I lightly 762a3357bd patted Diana’s a738379006 upset cheek d44ce69593 and quickly e0b8b1f41b assessed Aidan’s 5a835a3d9d condition.
 
It seemed that 2214524f26 Aidan had fallen 748841d57b heavily, as his 6a8dd062cf face was very 0c7f88ab04 red.
 
“Master, are you 855cab7104 alr… Oh! There’s blood!”
 
As Aidan, lying c498b183d5 on the ground b78c96706f with his eyes b3624d9fba wide open, wiped d13e3e6f07 his nose, he cc03d6444b noticed the blood 755a01922e that had come cccbdccb17 out.
 
Tears welled 9ca3ddd6d5 up in b26b107854 his eyes 575093fcb7 from the 26777f707b shock, and ccea39a281 he burst 16f0997436 into loud 20aaa11d04 sobs.
 
Diana, also fd6e819dec surprised, rolled be624bb531 around, saying, 0f5396a2f4 “What should 024bf0332b we do!”
 
“Wait a moment, it’s 31f7e75d13 okay. Don’t be scared.”
 
I hurriedly aa7a94ed88 took out de6c4e629e a handkerchief e90ac04b17 and some 9c89ee80ea medicine from 536c0d268a my apron 88ebcaf581 and applied f73290c4f8 pressure to 1089f6132f his nose.
 
I was relieved 7ff08f7052 that I always 7bcfbb328a carried various medicines ad2adf16b3 with me, given ff91b72e8e Diana’s increasingly active 9bdf0245ae days, in case 4a2ab9c76c she got hurt.
 
Of course, ec0697869e I had 59e7accf47 rarely used a792b413ed them, as 8ac82fc255 I mostly 25a7404f6d relied on 53f0566a91 healing magic 132e92931f and rarely 6e36f853f2 needed actual 47516ac185 medication.
 
“Does it hurt a 7de33f2707 lot?”
 
“Uh-huh.”
 
The bleeding stopped facc5ff5f4 immediately, but seeing 0a72de15e0 Aidan sniffling as ad4bd5c73f if in pain, 6820464e62 I couldn’t help 0eef02ec9f but glance around dea746a08b and then raise 2d946a01cb my hand to ae0d28836b cast a healing 7d525a3ff0 spell.
 
If Telin had eab236aa8d seen me using 93b8667435 a spell I a0b6a4238c hadn’t taught him, 7ace5efbde he would have d80570c737 turned the mansion 2412c6b923 upside down again, 52051d1050 but fortunately, there 6341ada249 were only two c7cf6a4323 children here.
 
As soon as I a144b71b43 confirmed the swelling and 2f596ce60b redness and lowered my 3f39412f52 hand, the emitted light f039017f8c also faded away.
 
Aidan, who 4c23377290 had been fd51d6b043 sniffing, momentarily 02a45e512b had a 266714c0b6 dazed expression, 5afa2be6be then looked d8c3593610 at me 3fcb8f4e23 with surprised 159166c9f2 eyes.
 
“Are you 373a21bb53 an angel?”
 
“Huh? Ahaha. I’m not an 93c4168534 angel, I’m just cf715c0cd8 a maid.”
 
“A maid…?”
 
“Yes. Here, drink some cool e663d2814b water. If you 253f3d8919 feel uncomfortable 3c0e75be44 anywhere else, 948cead97d let me 1e8753179c know.”
 
I took 69a54e2b40 out water 6f2345d945 from the c77f7dd56e basket I 5885873bc3 brought when fb16ff6597 I came 6fafb81601 to the 5c9bd7e3f5 sponsorship and aa8807a7b3 handed it e58cd495c9 to Aidan, 842e4425de who hesitantly f276e07a18 reached out 9de1d96956 for it eb9640c13b while looking 29e7ee69d5 cautious.
 
“You’re kind.”
 
Seeing him drink 62fb7573a9 the water, Diana, 3785d92047 who had calmed 0fd7a1e195 down a bit 71d17876e9 by now, finally e4d06ddd60 handed him a c763c1618a cup of water.
 
“…Hey, why are 34ac734eb4 you being nice e8941fd2b0 to me? Do you 547e956557 know who f4f6e86385 I am?”
 
“Well, of course. You’re Master Faelunt. I heard you 363c51d087 were coming today.”
 
As I 1c1b95b825 answered with 66175d2cc3 a puzzled e12484c33b look at d25b3a23cc his sudden 3ff9184850 question, strangely, e550533b6b disappointment flashed 76119ef241 across Aidan’s 9443ce5506 face.
 
“I see.”
 
“…?”
 
“…So, are you being 6e287122c7 kind to me because 1dab909e5a of that?”
 
“Huh? No, it’s not 2af9b8897a like that…”
 
“Then?”
 
Aidan asked e0dfdaf46f a little 9e1b57aa0f desperately as 80e1ccfa53 I hesitated bec340b72d in my de9127c3b4 response.
 
“Is my face… 7a0b72a112 unpleasant to look 1dbdd28a0e at…?”
 
Looking at 501a6ffb88 me with c529b2a88e a face 1a7e525338 full of 0ae9b0d64f worry, Aidan’s 80f17b2245 eyes welled d58963006e up with 765479fc2b tears again.
 
Realizing his 28f7605727 meaning, I efc14d4787 quickly reassured 47f5bef8be him.
 
“Not at all! Your nose 3ca2cb8fe0 isn’t red 467e6831bf anymore, and 46095b8562 you look 1cdbe0c3cf fine.”
 
“Oh, no, 1c9662a196 that’s not d2ae13307a it… My 7349bf58e5 skin color.”
 
As I 1635b55f7c answered with 769eb765ea a tilt 30474197a9 of my 1eefff2d4f head, tears abfebb2941 began to a57ac96684 trickle down 9358190746 Aidan’s cheeks.
 
I quickly reached 3649de5d7f out my hands 9583a40d6d in understanding.
 
“Not at all! In fact, you’re quite 2898aef4c6 handsome. Master, you’re very good-looking.”
 
It wasn’t bc2cc7a556 a lie.
 
Aidan’s skin, 57590fc0f8 with its 0211c3e751 handsome tan fae57e4415 reminiscent of 8e0de3f2a1 Lady Faelunt, fdd1d2a5c7 looked healthier 3a9e017a4e and livelier 4fcaf2b534 than the 416a14c22a usual noble dc9d650742 youths with 22393f4f9e a pale 45784189ad complexion.
 
Moreover, his large a14b809c36 violet eyes, his b05f94212a still youthful but 04a47f6363 well-defined nose and 0dd02dc741 rosy lips, and 286dfe4486 his graceful jawline f205aee7b1 created a harmonious 2588afe5e2 face that evoked a5029fc6f3 the mysterious atmosphere a87c418f3a characteristic of Lady 3007f16ca2 Faelunt.
 
“Really?”
 
“Yes. Master, do 83e7044172 you dislike b6f82b9588 your mother’s f559edd43f skin color?”
 
“Oh… No. Sniff.”
 
Shaking his d0d4c76383 head vehemently 7392e93f3f to indicate 18b80861fe a definite c59a9ec714 no, Aidan ce9237367b suddenly buried 09c96dfe18 his face 436a90fe5e in my f6806ef12e embrace as 2620fd06e3 if overwhelmed fd80df25a3 by sorrow.
 
Although he seemed to e6cc17fa53 be trying to hold f01dac4eae back his tears, I, 5cfff72d0d surprised, began to gently 3e882abd4d pat his back, and eabcbdc34c he soon burst into cea8fefa39 loud sobs.
 
I couldn’t d2dd3b9366 help but e8eb5d56df smile wryly.
 
‘Even if he da9fa14b31 becomes one of 9469004a0f the Three Knights, cd16bd879b he’s still a 5e8124dea1 child.’
 
Surprisingly, the crying bc4e067ab6 Aidan in my 2446fca1b5 arms was soon e2f66d16ca to be one a1fe690fc4 of the ‘Three fc94e70fce Knights’ who would f1d640c956 make a name 2aac742f66 for himself in 06e9761974 the Empire, following cb5594f040 in the footsteps ef75db3ea8 of Allen and 8ef206ab13 Jack.
 
And like Allen and 9db5ab1c50 Jack, he was also 5f127d4db5 an indispensable figure to c25bdba910 Diana, unable to be a7d6751931 separated from her.
 
He was a9275384e8 famous for 49864b23bf being passionately 1cd09641b4 infatuated with 95fb3c15a9 Diana at d45cd87e15 first sight, f89c1458c4 vowing, ‘If 574562fe46 you want fce703c1a9 to meet 1a3a975e7f Diana, you’ll d79f167c6e have to 5ad67eb126 defeat me a1294cfa83 first!’
 
In fact, 9068884a6b he had 3fd25f57c3 not been 7afee0bba8 Allen’s opponent, d295b59a74 but the 888ef14eea shocking fact c28785796f that Aidan debedf5779 had held 0fff61afbe a sword ccb1594b59 for the c4ca661ea2 first time 08a47178ee during that 1f95711aa8 time revealed a55d25e54f his remarkable 9052e38565 talent to e4796c02e8 the world 12920deae6 and led 435afd3ac7 him onto bce8b803d1 the path 341410c974 of a 99ae167556 knight.
 
‘Normally, Aidan and Diana d8782e3a86 wouldn’t have met until cf52f8fe43 five years later…’
 
This life a149267021 had changed 14bd260203 due to cf7ca2e1d2 Lady Faelunt ec0c81ff39 and me e7a47b4d5d becoming variables.
 
I felt a d7dc2765dc little sorry for 8658e5f0e9 Jack.
 
‘But maybe this 63e6b97883 time, Aidan and 3e506983f5 Diana will become f0a078e048 good childhood friends…’
 
“Hey, crybaby!”
 
That was 596f30f372 when it 8031b0def6 happened.
 
“Stop crying and get a1d456a3fa out of here!”
 
“Eek!”
 
Diana, with a raised 02f54caab0 leg and her eyes 5cd568f0ce glaring, poked Aidan’s shoulder.
