Chapter 111.2

“Then go in. This doesn’t seem like a place to stay for long.”

He looked at the Count once and stood right behind us, showing an uncomfortable look.

“Yes, let’s go in. I don’t think we should take this way for a walk next time.”

Cecilia added. Mom, who was still watching the situation calmly, nodded with a slightly lonely expression.

“Ah! I’m so annoyed that I need to eat a chocolate cake, Cecilia.”

“Are you intentionally annoyed because you want chocolate cake?”

“No way.”

Before I knew it, I was looking at Cecilia, who dropped me off at my floor, and I grabbed my mother’s hand and tried to move slowly, but stopped walking.

Then I ran quickly to the Count, who was still standing there like a cool.

“Count Bertram!”

“…”

“People have to make up their minds to be kind! So from now on, don’t bully poor people and live a good life, Count.”

After that, I ran to my mother again. Cecilia belatedly said that there was no need to add any words to such a human being, but I still felt a little relieved.

“Sylvie, thank you.”

It was all thanks to Sylvie. When I thanked him, he looked up to me like a normal puppy as if he didn’t want to say anything except in front of a few people or get into trouble.

I kissed Sylvie on the forehead. What would I do if it wasn’t for Sylvie? I would have tried to use my powers for nothing, and I would have been able to show that if I used my powers. But then I would have fallen asleep.

That’s why I was thankful for Sylvie.

‘But it’s a little weird. I don’t think the Count would have questioned my mother and I for no reason. I think he’d know I’d go crazy if he said that kind of thing to my mom and I.’

It looks like he’s up to something with his tongue and checking up the situation.

Why did I keep thinking of the Count, who isn’t even here? I struggled to put down the strange feeling that kept coming up, and I turned my head back and forth.

***

A few days have passed since that day.

“Cecilia.”

“Yes, My Lady?”

“Is there a problem with my brother?”

Cecilia, who would normally say no immediately, closed her eyes with a slightly subtle expression. Maybe it meant that it was okay, and maybe it meant that it wasn’t okay, so I became a little anxious.

“Cecilia?”

“If you’re curious, why don’t you visit him?”

“What?”

“I think Master Allen will be very pleased.”

I nodded my head at those words and shifted my gaze to my mother.

“Mom, do you want to go with me?”

“Of course. It’s been a few days since we’ve seen him, so I missed Allen.”

First, my mom, who got up from her seat, reached out to me. I was on my way out of the room while holding my mom’s hand.

Perhaps it’s because she’s been moving a lot lately, or because her body has improved day by day, she walked like a normal person, and we were able to quickly find the Grand Duke.

Contrary to my expectations that he would be in the room, my brother was not there. My brother’s maids only said they didn’t know where he was.

They seemed to be hiding something, but they didn’t tell me.

Instead, they just said that it was nice to see me after a long time, and that I should eat some snacks and go.

“I can’t give up here.”

No wonder today was the day I really wanted to find my brother. I decided to ask them why he hasn’t come here lately and if he was offended, so I walked on a different path than usual.

How long did he walk? I forgot again for a moment. I was seriously bad at memorizing directions. As expected, I walked as I wanted this time, but I got lost.

“My Lady, are you lost?”

Cecilia opened her mouth as if she had been waiting so see if I had noticed.

“No! I’m not lost. I just wanted to look around while I was out.”

I walked and walked leisurely.

How long did I walk? Finally, I could see the familiar place where I came last, and along with that, I could hear the voice of a person screaming as if the same thing was repeated like last time.

“You mean that you, the Emperor’s representative, are driving me away like this? How can you do this?!”
