We Got Transported Into A Novel, Mother!

Chapter 05

They just officially turned 4 the day before yesterday. Edwin looked blankly at the floor as he sulked at their current situation.

Before his expression darkens, he felt a feeling of warmth holding his left hand. He slowly looked up and blinked at his sister's worried eyes.

He helplessly smiled at her, a chuckle leaking from him. He couldn't let her worry too much about things that didn't need her attention. He smiled at the fact the child decided to join his sister after hearing our conversation.

He turned to his right to see Alastair standing there looking at them silently. He lifted the corner of his lips into a soft smile.

Unlike his blank and stone-like face, he's soft-hearted towards them which remained unknown to them but they felt his sincerity after the time they spent together.

(A/N: I might be adding a side chapter to it)

They felt sympathy for him. Alastair had already collapsed twice and fallen into a fever during his stay at their mansion. He was stubborn in receiving help from the servants and had a cane of his own to help himself walk.

Edwin raised his hand in front of Alastair and questioned.

"Are you sure you don't want me to ask for help for you...?"

Alastair slowly looked at him and then moved his cane forward. He closed the distance between them and gave him his hand. Edwin looked at the hand that was brought onto his and smiled gently. Linda looked at Edwin with warmth at his action.

If they were, to be honest, they felt Alastair was being treated like a dog if he continued to act that way. He even allowed them to be one of the few to call him by the name 'Aiden.' He can't help but frown, a memory of a gentle and fragile boy smiling at them sitting alongside Aunt Jay.

Linda scratches her cheek awkwardly. Rather than that, they felt safe whenever they were around him.

Linda slowly turned her head back to the front and couldn't help but frown deeply at the situation. You might wonder what made them desperate in this kind of situation.

As the duchess and Maverick weren't present, some upper person other than Nadia was crazy enough to put the twin's position as the current lord of this mansion.

Thinking about it again, Edwin couldn't help but feel anger feeling his chest again. He calmed down and tried not to reveal it on his face.

Linda slowly gazed at the shivering young boy in front of them. He was taller but shorter than Maverick. She intertwined her fingers with her brother's and calmly put his words and her thoughts together.

"So you came here because your father needed help as he protected the civilians as a knight but was wounded by some monster's dark magic that invaded our area?"

She looked at the trembling boy with a raised eyebrow.

An apathetic appearance was shown but she pitied him for coming here with no choice and asking their lords for money. Just like any would, of course.

He repeatedly nodded and held his unkempt clothes tightly as he bowed his head toward them. She sighed again and looked at Edwin.

She knows that in this world, civilians prefer for a male of the noble blood to decide the decisions of affairs of their house so she could only hope for her brother's right decision regarding the pitiful boy's father's health and situation.

Edwin slowly took Alastair's hand onto his sister's hand and slowly went in front of the boy.

Linda held his hand and gestured to him to sit down but stopped after she saw Alastair shaking his head. They stood and looked at Edwin and the boy in front of them.
