Chapter 3

"Bu bu bu!!!"

Brielle stretched his arms toward Marie, his plump feet were tapping excitedly on the floor.

He knows that the familiar bowl Marie brought with her was snacks.

"Wait a minute."

As she lifted the bowl aside for a while to support him with a pillow and ease his posture, his head moved along.

"Today I prepared an apple."

The Young Master Brielle's snack changed every time. Among them, Brielle's favorite was sweet and sour fruit.

When he opened his little mouth, she put the fruits in his mouth. He frowned a couple of times and scrunched his nose, then blinked his eyes.

"You're so cute."

Marie shed an exclamation without knowing it.

She thought that he would stop eating after Brielle turned his head and made an expression that seemed to think about how this taste exists in the world.

"Bu bu!"

However, Brielle seems to be addicted even when he frowns after tasting the sourness.

At the sign of his quick request, she took another spoonful and put it in his mouth.

Then he was unsure of what to do next, so he closed and opened his eyes over and over again.

"Is it delicious?"

"Emm! Emm!"

Now in his eighth month, Brielle was trying to convey his opinion in words other than the usual babbling.

"Yes?"

Marie couldn't understand what Brielle was saying, so it was up to her to interpret it.

"Now, this is the last one. Ah~"

Brielle opened his mouth like a baby bird and squeezed his eyes from the sourness.

'It's too bad that I don't have a camera.'

Marie shook her head, as she was disappointed to know that these cute faces would only remain in her head.

Brielle's head flipped to another side, after finishing the bowl.

As soon as he finished eating his snacks, it was time to take a nap.

Marie gently hugged Brielle and hummed an unknown tune.

'Soon, it would be good to start playing music or something...But there's no way to do that here...'

At that moment, it seemed as if Brielle knew her thoughts because the sound of his breath formed a harmony with her song.

"Count."

The Count had increased the amount of time spent in the mansion after seeing Brielle sitting alone. He decided that he might not be able to see the precious features of his nephew before he grows up.

However, he had no choice but to work at the mansion. He lifted his head at Marie's call.

The spontaneous gaze turned to his nephew in Marie's arms. He looked at him with a huge smile that caught her eyes.
