Chapter 26

We didn’t just come in at random, we all knew when we left and when we returned. But the excuse that you don’t have to leave your seat and just come in is an inspection of the estate. Besides, he is now said to be in Pinter Castle. Because it is always used as a base camp for protection of the gap of the demon world, it is a place where reports come and go at least once a week. Because of this, it is a safe place even though it is the closest castle to the Devil’s Crack, and it is a place where the latest information is shared one after another, even though it is far from the Grand Duchy. This means that there is absolutely no reason for the successor to go on an inspection at this point. So, this was an unspoken protest. It was expected, but I couldn’t help but feel bitter.

Theodore really liked me and followed me well. I was the one who made myself healthy by passing down the family heirloom. Even if it wasn’t a matter of title, I was like a benefactor to him. Theodore was a mean and incompetent little boy, but at least he knew grace. However, when he heard that I was going to become an aunt and grand duchess, he might have felt betrayed before being stimulated that the position of the heir might be in jeopardy. But it wasn’t because of those feelings that I felt bitter now. Rather, it was because I only thought that my choice was right to the point of confusion. In fact, it is true that he was very lacking as a successor, and that he was very worried because he had a low number. Still, the child is only ten years old.

No matter how high the position is, I felt guilty that maybe I was putting too much pressure on a child with excessive expectations, and that maybe that’s why I was more out of line. Since he is still a child, he even thought that it would be okay if he watched more and educated him more thoroughly, full of regrets. However, seeing the protests openly like this today, I knew for sure. Theodore is not ready to receive the Grand Duke. It’s a huge crisis for him right now. Although he was the announced heir, he was not the grand duke’s biological son, and the grand duke had now started a family. The Grand Duke is too young for his title. It means that you can make any number of parents.

A child can do that. You can just put your emotions first and don’t want to see the two of us who hate you so much that your teeth tremble right now. You can avoid it by saying you want to run away. But the adults around him shouldn’t be like that. Even if the child wants to avoid it, is there no one who can give advice on how to properly grasp the situation and plan the future? What are all the private tutors I have been assigned to do? I let out a sigh. But that was unavoidable. The teachers attached to him were of two kinds. Those who desperately try to please Theodore, and only say the right things to hurt him and those who turn them upside down.

Fortunately, the latter I’m glad he did it, but there’s no way I can get close to you, so even this time I wouldn’t have taken any advice. I sighed again. Yes, a good choice. If Theodore became the Grand Duke of Valencia, he would have been really screwed up. I made a good choice.

“Go in.”

Perhaps because of his mood, his voice seemed more subdued than usual. Yes, no matter how complicated I am, will I stop being a blood relative? I took his hand and entered the grand siege. It was a place I had visited many times over the past three years, but thinking that it was my home now made me feel new.

The faces of the servants I saw everyday also strangely seemed more familiar. It might be because I thought of them as members of my family. In the hall on the first floor, all the servants of the mansion were lined up. We all know each other, but since it was the day the new owner officially came in, we exchanged greetings at least formally. I skipped the detailed story, and after being introduced to the dedicated maids, I moved to the newlyweds’ room. It was quite late, so we had a simple meal in the room.

“I did it just in case.”

“Hmm?”

“I mean Theodore. I expected a little but,”

“Are you still thinking about that?”

“Not yet. He is only twelve years old.”

“He is twelve years old. You can see the buds from a young age.”

Pascal frowned and crossed his legs, disapprovingly. My emotions softened a little when I saw that the correct posture I had always adhered to was disturbed. After the marriage story came out, somehow my cheeks turned red even though I had seen him often. I was very satisfied that I was the only one who could see him like this.

“There’s something unexpectedly soft about it, my wife. silver.”

“Pascal also benefited from that.”

“I did. Fortunately indeed.”

He grinned. However, the emotion contained in that smile was not only positive, such as joy. He still looked displeased and a little annoyed.

“Why?”

“I was cowardly and selfish. That’s right.”

“Right???”

“I think other people benefit from that too. It makes me uncomfortable.”

It’s not necessarily like that. It’s true that I’m more fragile than I look, but that’s not the case with anyone. He is good at hitting iron walls in his own way, but it is a misunderstanding.

“I don’t do that to anyone.”

“Theodore is nobody.”
