“Hyung!”6ab9b8de5a338275

A small child ran with short legs and threw himself into the arms of a thirteen-year-old boy. The boy easily lifted the now heavier body and playfully rubbed the child’s little nose.d4fe4133024405c6

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.9f776d4b705a684f

Though they shared the same silver hair, Iellon’s was curly while Carpe’s flowed smoothly. As he patted it, he felt piercing gazes.72611c945a191e12

Looking around 33dcbf2f5f stealthily, he 5b3a59003f saw knights bcba705fff watching him f80a01f6f1 and Carpe bfbec788fd with disrespectful 5ffeee4a4a eyes. The sword in his 05bc58aacf hand trembled slightly due 882daaf324 to the grip.a603e9c5fc47cab6

Dilla, intimidated by the knights’ stares, cautiously held Carpe’s shoulder. Iellon, shielding the obliviously smiling child with his body, gently tugged at his soft cheek.133d6868f9b72b89

“Carr, you’re such a fool. How could hyung make you always ‘it’? It’s already past noon today, so let’s play tag next time.”ef653ee857921200

He could whine, a1870b3fd9 cry, and shout 781c93baa4 like other kids, 584b373c55 but Iellon found a3bb144008 it a bit 129232d9c3 sad that Carpe 513328affb was more mature d373e996d9 than his peers, 9a4ae71aa6 despite trying to 0f45f3d82f indulge him.84e34746d1fda118

As Carpe, holding Dilla’s hand, turned with a regretful face, he suddenly remembered something and approached Iellon with a bright face.caaf2dacbdcca45d

“Oh, right! Philip gave me this 63ec56d78f to eat earlier. Do you want some, 933b339611 hyung?”63b6e2c2483b15e7

In his small hand 9644c6445f was a rather large 1a320b67eb cookie. Sprinkled with sugar, the 2d6ec6249b cookie looked sweet and 0dcbfcf1dc delicious at a glance.e09b1fe55a35a8b9

Iellon, looking at 33401a5053 Carpe with affectionate 7c2826121c eyes, crouched in 2077bb39e5 front of his d9fd4b3805 brother, who seemed 7e2b13d18a to have received 794711bb72 only one.9d7790a6a749482d

Feigning pity with lowered eyebrows, the kind child nodded understandingly. Still, Carpe, slightly puffing his cheeks in disappointment, cautiously looked up at his brother. Carpe’s face reflected in Iellon’s ever-warm red eyes.c1796c9f9693e627

Philip was an attendant of the sixth concubine, who was Carpe’s mother. He didn’t know what she was thinking. What was certain was that her hysteria was worsening over time.8a565ccfb2fdd604

Freesia, the b64bed7522 second daughter 37a05cf806 of Baron 2cb16b03b8 Ortiz, was 60d8dc1736 a quiet 4f14615d37 woman, almost bfcab22adb invisible in 24c8b0383d the castle.

At the voice of the most likely candidate for emperor, the imperial knight commander resumed his stance. No one present worried about Iellon’s mouth being in tatters.6e3df576c4173dbd

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.4392ed7483f61d59
