“You mean the sword?”
“That's right, haven't you seen, sir? She's very agile and fast and I'm sure she would be able to fly if she learned how to use a sword.”
Allen suddenly interjected and began telling me a story about the time I reprimanded my servants.
“It wasn't great...”
I stepped in cautiously, but Tice was looking at me with new eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.
“Really? I wonder if such a small body can hold a sword.”
“That's right! Although it was a comb and not a sword.”
“Haha, that's right, well, you can make the sword thin and light...”
Suddenly asked Tice, who was nodding and stroking his chin.
“Leia, why don’t you learn how to use a sword from me?”
"Sorry ?"
It was a daily routine for me to receive harsh special training from my teacher because I couldn't keep up with the progress of my classmates, but this time, I was going to go through it again between two geniuses?
I quickly shook my head and said no.
“Then it is at least a f-defense technique...”
Tice called out to me with teary eyes, but I turned resolutely away.
Since I already knew how to use my body in my head, I planned to train it on my own later.
“This amount will be enough to protect my body.”
Then suddenly she noticed Jack, who kept his mouth closed and didn't say anything yet.
“...Jack?”
Even when I called out, Jack stared at me with a dark expression and did not open his mouth.
After staring for a moment, I was quickly able to guess the reason without difficulty.
He noticed my situation early on and asked me several times if there was anything he could do to help, but he ended up getting angry at me and feeling guilty that something like this was happening.
'Although the sense of responsibility is strong, it is a very strong feeling.'
There's no need for that at all, Jack is so nice.
“Jack, come here.”
When I called out to him and pointed again, Jack bowed obediently.
“Thank you, I am very happy to have you.”
I said and gently stroked Jack's gray hair.
In an instant, Jack's body stiffened and his entire face, from neck to neck, turned red.
When Allen opened his mouth at the sudden change, he frowned as if he couldn't see it, and Diana said: “Noona?!” I shouted.
“Of course you are, the reason I was able to continue is because I love you so much.”
“Hehe, Diana likes you too.”
Diana laughed and jumped into my arms.
Tice, who saw this, said, “Huh!” He covered his mouth and suddenly clutched his heart.
Even in her eyes, Diana looked so beautiful.
then.
“Excuse me...”
A new maid entered cautiously through the open door.
“What happened?”
Allen, whose face had been full of mischief just a moment ago, was coldly staring at the maid with a tone dripping with coldness.
“Okay, the room next to yours is completely ready, I think we can move you to the room right away.”
The shy maid backed away and left in a low voice.
Allen suddenly turned his head and asked me.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to move now? If it's hard, do it later."
I was a little surprised by his gentle attitude which was the opposite of how he was treating the maid a moment ago, and I responded.
“I want to move now.”
Actually, I didn't say anything, but I felt very uncomfortable sitting in the Duchess's bedroom like this and even receiving a visit.
But as soon as I got up to move, my head started spinning.
“Oh no, you shouldn't move so suddenly.”
Tez clicked his tongue, lifted the blanket, and hugged me without even asking my opinion.
“Oh my God!”
Tice said as I looked at him in surprise, grabbing his shoulder, with a shocked face.
"Oh my God! Leia, are you really a human? How can you be this light and not just a feather?"
"That's not the problem! What if it suddenly rises?"
“No, if that's not a problem, then what is the problem from now on, whether you study swordsmanship, magic, or medicine, take a lot first. No matter what you learn, physical strength is the most important thing.”
“Do not include dueling skill.”
When I rolled my eyes and answered calmly, Tice burst out laughing.
“Anyway, you'd better go this way, you can't walk now.”
I could only nod at the stern words.
Anyway, I felt embarrassed to even walk because I was wearing white pajamas and bare feet with no shoes.
'Oh, I'm holding back because I have the body of a child.'
I suppressed my shyness and leaned over Tice's body.
Then I saw Diana, who was on the bed, blinking.
“Miss, would you like to ride too?”
Tice treated himf like a vehicle, laughed, and extended his other arm.
Diana, who was often hugged by the Duke, was so excited that she jumped up and was hugged by Tice.
“Hmm hmph.”
At this time Tice was grimacing and groaning.
“I was surprised...unexpectedly....She's obviously younger, why...”
Tice's eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.
I quickly turned my head because I felt like I was going to laugh, and I saw Jack and Allen also narrowing the corners of their mouths as if they were trying to hold back laughter.
“Buhahahahaha, buwahaha!”
I couldn't bear this sight any longer.
As she burst out laughing, Diana got excited and jumped up and down on Tice's arm.
“Oh, miss....!”
Tess sighed briefly, but Diana couldn't hear it.
So we rode Tice downstairs to where Diana's room was.
“It's high, it's high!”
Diana, who was mid-jump with her arms raised, said with sparkling eyes.
“Noona, I remember that!”
“Huh?”
“Jack, Nona and I are taking a fun trip!”
“Aaa!”
Diana's words suddenly brought back memories, so I asked her in surprise.
“Miss, do you remember that?”
“Yes, Diana is smart!”
Diana said, raising her chin with a smug expression.
I was really impressed.
“Really, you are very smart, I think our miss is a genius after all.”
“Of course! He’s someone’s younger sister.”
Allen, who was following us, spoke arrogantly behind us, then added in a low voice and asked:
“But what happened on that outing?”
For a moment, I wondered if I could talk about Diana's time at the orphanage in front of Allen.
But now that I don't mind seeing Jack and I, it doesn't seem to matter.
“When I was staying in an orphanage, I went to a nearby lake to wash clothes with Diana.”
"wash?"
“Yes, because her clothes got dirty anyway, I was hungry and the road was bumpy, so it was very difficult to go back, but Jack carried me with him to the orphanage, and that too isn’t that really amazing?”
As she smiled brightly and looked at Jack, the back of his neck began to turn red again.
“You and Miss at the same time?”
Tice, who was currently holding me and Diana in his arms, asked in surprise.
I explained earnestly, moving both hands, saying that I carried Diana on my back and Jack carried me on his back.
Although it was funny to see myf being carried on my back, when I look back, it was a fun memory and I felt excited without even knowing it.
I looked at Allen as if to check his reaction. At first he asked excitedly, but now he seemed lost in thought about what was happening.
He may not have been able to eat well at that time, but he had some strength.
“It wasn't a big deal, Leia was very light.”
Jack responded in a low voice to Tice's words.
Then Tice said that this is true and he burst out laughing, saying: Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Then suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, his smile disappeared and he stopped walking.
“Greetings, little Duke.”
As he hugged Diana and me, Tess just nodded and showed his respect.
Only after seeing Tice, who instantly transformed into a sharp-looking knight, did she find Lucio standing in the hallway.
“How long has he been there?”
I'm sure you've never heard him brag excitedly about being embarrassed and giving Jack a piggyback ride.
Strangely enough, I didn't want to show my childish side to Lucio, even though I had already shown myf unable to see him several times, including yesterday.
“Your body probably won't heal yet.”
Lucio, who had already approached me, frowned.
“Where are they taking you?”
“Leah’s room is ready and we are moving it!”
"truly ?"
“Yes, it is the room next to Diana’s room!”
Allen looked at me and said, “It’s also the room across from me.”
Just like a moment ago, I tilted my head as if trying to get a reaction.
“Then I will go with you.”
At that time, Lucio looked at me and said something unexpected.
“I brought the book you were reading, I thought you might be bored.”
It doesn't seem like much.
I finally discovered the many books Lucio was carrying, he added quietly.
These were all the things I used to read in the library.
Usually, after reading a book, I put it back to its original place, but yesterday, while I was reading a book, I remembered that I went to my dorm to get the stationery and left it on the table.
While I was bewildered by the unexpected kindness, Lucio looked at me, Diana, and Taiz.
Tice winced and shuddered slightly, then asked cautiously.
“Miss, would you like to go to the Little Duke?”
"where?"
Diana, who was being quietly held by Tice, tilted her head at the unexpected remark.
Then “oppa?” Diana looked at Lucio, then gently reached out and embraced her.
Lucio, who was holding a book in one hand and holding Diana with one arm, didn't change his expression at all, but he still looked very gentle.
Then Tice let out a breath without anyone noticing, as if he wasted some time.
