“Are you in your right mind? Why are you so unnerved?”
This is why I didn’t want to tell him.
“I’m against Rosetta spending two nights in a strange place with an insidious beast. No way!”
“But I agree.”
“I also agree.”
Lanoa’s opinion was overruled by a score of 2-1.
Clap, clap~
As I clapped my hands to wrap things up, Lanoa gritted his teeth, telling us not to ignore his opinion.
“Brother! Did you sell our Rosetta to that black hearted person? Goddammit, ack!”
The fierce fistfight between my brothers made me smile. Hit him more. More, more!
However, even after being beaten like that, Lanoa didn’t stop nagging me even after we arrived at our mansion.
“Hey, listen carefully. If you really want to go, then throw dust in this brother’s eyes and go! Can you do that?”
“Of course, why not?”
Lanoa, who had already moved away when I grabbed a handful of soil, shouted, “Hey! Rosetta Katzel! Are you really that crazy about men?”
I snorted at him as he kept shouting about how I could think of throwing dirt on my brother.
“Hey, I’m crazy about doggies.”
“That’s not what you’re crazy about, you’re crazy about that devilish bastard!”
“That’s not what the person who threw the devilish dog at me should say.”
Leonard acted as a mediator between the two of us, who were becoming increasingly agitated and on the edge of a fistfight.
“Take it.”
Leonard held out a wooden box, which was handed from the carriage by a servant, to Lanoa.
“What’s this?”
“His Highness said you’d know once you receive it.”
“What kind of trick is he playing again?”
Lanoa frowned and halfheartedly opened the lid of the box.
“Oh my!”
Lanoa’s eyes widened as if they were going to bulge out of his sockets, and he soon fell down on his knees.
What happened? What’s wrong with him? I wondered how great the gift he received was for him to act like that, so I peeked a glance at it. However it turned out to be some wine. I didn’t know much about wines, but seeing Lanoa’s enraptured face, it seemed to be very precious.
“Did he really give this to me?”
“Yes. Instead, he asked me to make sure you agree.”
After hearing Sihael’s message, Lanoa thought for a while and then grabbed my shoulders.
“Rosetta, you have my permission. You can go with His Highness.”
Where is the guy who criticized Leonard for selling his sister?
Lanoa, who abandoned his younger sister for a bottle of wine, stroked it with ecstatic eyes. It was clear that if he ever rose to office, he would become a bribe-mad and corrupt person. Turning away from his grinning figure stroking the wine, I fixed my gaze on Leonard. His eyes were frowning as if he had seen something that even he didn’t expect to see.
“But what should I tell Father?”
“I’ll tell him. You go in and get some rest.”
Thank god. I was wondering how to explain it to him.
‘If his trustworthy eldest son tells him, he’ll surely allow it.’
I returned to my bedroom, leaving Leonard to take care of the rest.
As I stretched out my aching body, the door burst open without knocking.
“Master!”
It was Lumiyan, whose entire body was dyed white.
‘What the hell did you do to look like that?’
His head, face, and body were all covered with flour, as if he had fallen in the flour container.
Lumiyan, who was trying to rush in my arms, quickly stopped when he saw Marina blocking my front.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come into the lady’s room without permission. And I also told you to always keep yourself clean.”
“Marina, he’s still a child. Don’t scare him too much.”
Her voice was so cold that it even scared me. Her lips curled up and she stretched out her hand toward Lumiyan, who grunted, and his face turned pale.
“My Lady, Lumiyan is not a human, but a monster.”
“I know. But his mental age is ten years old.”
When I sided with him, Lumiyan, who rushed into the room, pouted his mouth.
“Why did you come so late?”
Lumiyan, who transformed into the body of a 10-year-old child according to his age, was a pretty cute child on the outside.
“Why does he look like this?”
“He was baking cookies.”
I rubbed Lumiyan’s cheek with the handkerchief Marina gave me. Lumiyan, who quietly placed his face in my hand, twitched his nose.
“Master, you smell.”
“Smell? Like what?”
“A smell that makes you not want to go near you.”
Did I smell that bad? When I looked back at Marina in shock, she shook her head in a hurry.
“Lumiyan, it’s rude to say someone stinks right in front of their face.”
“Yes.”
He tried to answer diligently, but he did not loosen his hand that was covering his nose. Exhaling through his mouth, Lumiyan rummaged through the pockets of his trousers.
I heard a rustling sound and as expected, what came out of his pocket was a star-shaped cookie.
“I made it. I’ll give it to you as a gift.”
“You made this?”
“Yes, I made it with the elder sisters.”
“Thank you.”
People might think it’s my birthday today. After receiving Kariya and Lumiyan’s gift, both my hands felt full.
“I did a good job, right? I held back what I wanted to eat just to give it to my master.”
A smirk leaked from his lips, smeared with cookie crumbs.
