Chapter 14

"Young master."

"Feed me this."

It was Marie who was embarrassed as she looked at Brielle, who suddenly did something he didn't usually didn't do.

'You're so childish.' These days, he hated being treated as a child, but it seemed that his mind had changed.

"Okay, say ah~"

Though she didn't hate it, Marie gave him a bite. However, Brielle's behavior continued for several days.

"I want to sleep. I want to sleep with Marie."

"I want you to read a fairy tale book."

"I want you to wash my face."

By this time, she felt that this might be a problem.

"Count."

"What's going on?"

So, she went to see Kentrail.

"These days, the young master is acting a little weird."

"Ah... that."

He already heard from the butler. At first, Kentrail was worried as well, but there was no reason for that. When Jayden and Brielle were playing together, the escort knight next to them found out the cause. Hearing it, he didn't realize how much he laughed.

'That's why I said that.'

Anyway, both kids seemed to be misunderstood, the one who said such a thing and the one who believed it.

Marie sees the count's smiling face, and she wonders if it's all right to allow it to pass lightly.

"Do you know the cause?"

Instead of answering, he just laughed.

"Think of it as a cute tantrum. It's temporary."

He could see her tilting her head at his meaningless words.

'Lover...' He kept chewing on the words Brielle threw. There was only one person that came to mind every time he thought of it.

Kentrail unconsciously looked at Marie's fingertips.

Marie had been having nightmares, and she wasn't in a good mood when it rained that day. She felt like her head was going to explode, searching for a solution to this issue. So, after the rain that had been pouring for a few days had finally stopped, water droplets were visible everywhere in the garden as they were sliding down on a blade of grass.

Then, she ruffled the grass and sat down with her knees bent in search of the prettiest flowers. As a refresher, she planned to make bookmarks for Brielle, who reads these days. As she sat among the flowers, Marie felt her head becoming clearer. So, she closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment.

"..."

How long must she have been doing that, Marie, who raised her head, was surprised?

"Count."

Kentrail was looking down, right next to her.

"Since when..."

At Marie's question, he was terribly embarrassed.
