“No… I said I’ve decided not to raise such things.”
Duke Leon looked down at Valletta. The girl with a smaller head furrowed her forehead and shook her head resolutely.
Duke Leon moved the child’s hand gently and held the cub in his arms.
“No, like I said…”
“You don’t need to kill it anymore. Count Delight is dead.”
Duke Leon rarely spoke that long. Carlon Delphine’s eyes slightly widened.
“… I know that…”
“You don’t know.”
Duke Leon reached out and stroked Valletta’s head a couple of times. It was a very soft movement, in contrast to his big and callused hand.
“You don’t want it because you think it will die soon.”
“It will grow as big as you want it to grow.”
“Duke, don’t tell me… that’s a snow tiger?”
Duke Leon responded with anod instead of a word.
Carlon Delphine, who was watching from the side, held back a smirk.
“Where on earth did you find a snow tiger…”
“It came from a cargo ship.”
“Isn’t it endangered?”
“Yeah.”
Duke Leon replied. Valletta looked tired. She couldn’t quite understand why they left endangered species by themselves.
She quickly handed it back to Duke Leon.
“If it’s an endangered species, there’s a place that could manage it…”
“You.”
“No, I don’t mean me…”
“You can do it.”
Duke Leon sat down on a chair, folded his arms and closed his eyes, as if he had no desire to talk anymore.
Not just that, the fact that he had also crossed his legs meant that he had no intention to have a conversation in the slightest.
“…”
“For reference, Duke Leon’s stubbornness is tougher than steel, Valletta.”
“You’re lying, right?”
“It’s true.”
