The Eldest Young Master climbed to the podium wore a laurel crown on his head and received tremendous shouts. 

‘Hng?’

Strangely, I just felt like my eyes met. I was about to turn my head again, but father hugged me and raised me. 

“Fathher?” (Father?) 

“Let’s go.”

“Yesh.” (Yes.) 

I kept looking toward the arena in my father’s arms. 

It sure seemed like our eyes met, but—. It was too far for that.

‘It’s a mistake, right?’

“Nunya.” (Nuna.) 

At the call of Jerion, I looked at Jerion and shook off my thoughts.

But where are we going? 

“Kayden.”

“….!”

Come to think of it, it was not strange to see the family since the match was over.

‘I’m not ready yet!’

“Hyung-ah!”

Jerion moved out of his father’s arms.

It looked like he went to the Eldest Young Master. I fixed my gaze on my father’s back.

Shane’s eyes met my eyes, but when he saw my pale face, he hurriedly approached me.

“Your Excellency, Lady is—”

[Baby?] 

“Lione?”

“I, ith’sh nothhing…” (I, it’s nothing…)

My voice was a little shaky, but I said it was okay until the end.

The Duke grabbed me and made eye contact. Then he let out a small sigh and hugged him again.

“Nunya… whath’sh wrong?” (Nunya… What’s wrong?)

Knowing that my condition was strange, Jerion grabbed father’s coat. 

“P, pweashe puth me down.” (P, please put me down.)

Father carefully dropped me off

I looked down at the floor and then raised my head slightly. The Eldest Young Master was looking down at me with an expressionless face. 

Shane said the first impression is important. I lifted the hem of my dress and bent my knees slightly. 

“M, my name ish Lione.” (M, my name is Lione.)

The word Biherville never came out.

I kept my head down, but I didn’t hear anything from above.

“W, whoa!” 

Suddenly, my body was lifted into the air, Flustered, I turned my gaze and met the Eldest Young Master’s eyes. The owner of the arm that lifted me was the Eldest Young Master. 

‘Are you going to throw me away like this?’

“I, i’m shorry.” (I, I’m sorry.) 

When I trembled and apologized, Jerion rushed to me. 

“Hyung! Puth Nunya down! she’sh shcared!” (Hyung! Put Nunya down! She’s scared!)

When I opened my tightly closed eyes, I saw Jerion from below, hitting the Eldest Young Master’s legs. 

I hiccuped in embarrassment.

“Hiccup!” 

“Kayden.” 

“Why?” 

“Uhm?” 

The Young Master gently brought me into father’s arms. And he tilted his head and looked at me.

“Why?” 

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t father bigger than me?” 

I couldn’t understand, so I looked at my father and he laughed.

“It’s a difference between people.”

The Eldest Young Master’s face was distorted. 

*****

The Eldest Young Master returned to the Knights Order. 

I was worried because Jerion didn’t stay with his brother for a long time because of me, but those worries quickly faded. 

“Nunya! Fathher! Overh there! Overh there!” (Nuna! Father! Over there! Over there!)

Is this what they call very energetic?

Jerion picked up this and that with his fingers as if he intended to buy all the amazing things he could see. 

“Is there anything you want to buy, Lady?”

Shane asked, but I shook my head. It was amazing, but I didn’t want anything. 

Besides, since Jerion bought too many, it seemed that it would be enough to ask Jerion to show it to me. 

“Thath thoo!” (That too!) 

Jerion picked up a big doll while walking around.

It looked like the dragon used by the wizard in the play I saw earlier. When I remembered the scary dragon, I flinched to my father.

[Baby?]

“The bad wizard earwier… and thhe dragon…” (The bad wizard earlier… And the dragon…)

[Ah. Wizard and Green Dragon. You must have seen that play.]

Driane smiled and rubbed my cheek.

[Don’t worry. That wizard or dragon is nothing]

“Really?”

[Of course]

“Owway.” (Okay.) 

When I whispered, my father patted me on the back.

Jerion was still busy shopping.

I looked at the sky that was slowly darkening. The yellow color in the sky filled up and gradually turned red.

It was a sight I saw every day now, but today seemed to be especially beautiful.

“Nunya! eath thhish!” (Nunya! Eat this!)

“Ung.” (Yes.) 

My father dropped me off. Holding hands with Jerion, I walked to a place where skewers were grilled and sold. 

“Oh my, Lady is here too. Here, try eating this.”

“Thanw you.” (Thank you.)

“So cute. I hope you enjoy it!”

When I took a bite, my mouth was full of savory and spicy taste.

“Ith’sh dewicioush.” (It’s delicious!)

“I wnow righth!” (I know right!)

When Jerion and I sat in a simple chair next to each other and ate the skewers, we strangely drew attention. 

I looked at the people, but there was no criticism of me as I was worried. 

Everyone gave a heartwarming smile, strangely.

“Kyaha—”

It was only when I saw Jerion smiling brightly that I understood.

He’s so cute that if you don’t look at it, you’re not a human. 

I took out a handkerchief for Jerion, whose mouth was a mess.

But the handkerchief I had was already a mess wiping Jerion’s mouth earlier.

I found a clean part of it and wiped off Jerion’s mouth.

“Please give it to me, Lady.”

“Uhm… Thanw you.” (Uhm… Thank you.)

I was going to put my handkerchief back in, but Lena approached me.

I was worried that it was a dirty handkerchief, but when I gently handed it over, Lena put it in a small cloth pocket and I felt relieved.

“Let’s go now.”

“Yesh!” (Yes!) 

“Yesh!” (Yes!) 

There are more and more people in the middle of the city.

It’s night now, but I didn’t know why there were so many people.

“Why are thhere more peopwe ath nighth?” (Why are there more people at night?)

“Because there’s something they can only do at night.”

“I wanth tho do ith, thoo.” (I want to do it, too.)

“Jeyion thoo!” (Jerion too!) 

“After you grow a little bit bigger.”

“Yesh…” (Yes…) 

“Jeyion can do ith thoo!” (Jerion can do it too!)

“I’ll listen if you grow up like that for another 15 years.”

“Fathher badh…” (Father bad…) 

“Jerion, stoph.” (Jerion, stop.) 

“Nunya…” (Nuna…) 

Jerion dug into my arms. Fortunately, after a few steps, he quickly regained his energy. 

In fact, it was clear that there were still many things to see on the street.

Because Jerion is doing this, the Clown Uncle also gave me balloons.

Jerion took a yellow balloon and I took a red balloon and headed to the place where the carriage was.

Then, more and more people came, and they were held in their father’s arms. 

“Okay~ come here, come here~”

As we were approaching the outskirts, I heard an old man’s voice and looked towards it. 

I heard the voice of a person holding a long and thin thing like a magic item I saw at the arena earlier. 

Seeing that it didn’t sound as loud as before, it didn’t seem to be a magic item.

“This precious bracelet is being worn by a group of men! Take a look around!”

The moment I saw the bracelet in the hand of the speaker in a loud voice, I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

I felt like my eyes were being sucked in.

[Come here]

I felt like I could hear a voice.

I struggled to get down to the ground. When my father dropped me off, I quickly ran toward the bracelet.

“Lady!”

“Lady!”

People hurriedly called me from behind, but I couldn’t hear it.

I ran like I was possessed by something. It wasn’t as intense as when I met Driane.

It felt a little lighter than that, but I thought I had to do anything to get that bracelet.

[Come to me]

I heard a voice again. I ran as hard as I could and approached the ring. 

“If you want a bracelet, come up to the ring!”

There was a large ring in the middle of the road. It was much smaller than the arena I saw earlier, but it was big enough for me. 

The bracelet shone. 

Someone lifted me from behind as I tried to climb up the ring.

“Lione.”

[Baby!] 

“Fathher… Driane… That’sh…” (Father… Driane… That’s) 

[Wake up! It’s dangerous if you lose more divine power!]

“Huh?” 

It was only then that I came to my senses. Everyone around me was looking at me.

“Hahaha. Little Lady seems to want the bracelet, but you’re still young, so you can’t~” 

When the person holding the stick said, people burst into laughter.

The only one that didn’t laugh was the Duke.

“Driane.”

My father quietly called Driane.

It was unusual.

Driane climbed over father’s shoulder.

[Because the baby lost so much divine power, it’s dangerous to appear so just listen to my voice.] 

“Okay.”

[That bracelet is Nadia’s relic. He’s like a flower, attracting contractors. It seems that the baby is possessed.]

“How about her condition?”

[Fortunately, it’s not serious because it’s blocked in the middle, but—. Nadia is the youngest among us. It’s not much different from Lione’s age. She can feel my energy and divine power, so it feels like she’s blindly possessed.]

My father stepped back with me in his arms. Until then, I couldn’t take my eyes off the bracelet.

“Fathher?” (Father?)

My father covered my eyes with his hands. When I looked at my father curiously, he sighed.

“Do you want that?”

“Yesh…” (Yes…) 

“If it’s another bracelet, I can buy enough to fill it up.”

“I wiwe thhath one…” (I like that one…)

[Baby.] 

Driane approached me and touched my eyes in the air.

[Don’t be possessed. Baby. That’s just a bracelet]

“Buth…” (But…) 

[The holy relics are just objects. Don’t be captivated by what’s in it. With your strength, you can’t handle Nadia yet, baby.] 

“Buth…” (But…)

There was a sense of loneliness in his voice. A very deep loneliness. 

“Lonewy…” (Lonely…)

Driane sighed heavily.

“Lione.”

“Yesh.” (Yes.) 

“Do you want it?”

“Yesh.” (Yes.) 

“Okay.”

The Duke handed me to Shane and took his coat off.

“Your Excellency, what—!”

“I’ll do it!”

Lena hurriedly approached and lowered the sword.

I nodded quickly.

“I’ww be shad if fathher gethsh hurth.” (I’ll be sad if father gets hurt.)

Somehow, my father’s expression was distorted.

“My daughter is worried a lot about me. Don’t worry, I’ll give you that bracelet.”
