Chapter 22

"Let's go see the play."

After eating red bean bread, she glanced at the place where Ellie was pointing at and saw a play about the love between a man and woman in full swing.

"Let's go."

This time, the Count hugged Ellie and headed towards the location together, with Brielle on the left, Ellie on his right arm.

"It must hurt your arm."

"This is fine. Besides, these little ones wouldn't be able to see the play if I didn't do this."

As there were so many crowds, Marie could barely even see the play with herself with her height. Fathers were even seen carrying their children on their shoulders.

She eventually turned her gaze to the stage, knowing that she had no choice but to watch the play in this state. It was a typical love story, which seemed the same here or where she lived before. So, Marie focused on the play for a while, but a problem occurred. Suddenly, an intense love scene began to appear.

Seeing so, Marie hastily moved her body in front of Kentrail and covered Brielle and Ellie's eyes.

However, something she didn't think about happened. While she was busily blindfolding both kids, she was standing in front of the Count. As the embarrassed woman lifted her head, Kentrail and her gaze met.

'In a scene like this...'

The distance was so close, he could even hear if she gulped, but she couldn't let go of her hands that were on Brielle and Ellie's eyes.

The moments, which may have been a few seconds, felt like an eternity. The two eyes did not lose contact.

Well, until the two children brushed Marie's hand away frustratedly.

***

The social world had been bustling after a long time.

It was because of the king's misdeeds. Those who knew thought it was because of the Count since he was someone who wouldn't tolerate being teased in front. So, everyone thought, surely it was him.

Inviting all the children to the Royal Palace. The king who decided to keep his word was also a great man.

Most excited of all would be the nobles since it was an opportunity for them to have the king get a good eye on their children. It was rare for children who had not yet officially prepared for the social world to be invited to the Royal Palace again.

Thanks to that, the etiquette teachers and dress room designers were busy and fully booked. The children couldn't possibly wear the same clothes that they wore when they first visited anymore. So, they had to adjust their clothes. In addition, they must also correct their tone one by one in case the children may make a mistake in front of the king.

"An invitation came to you, too."

Kentrail, who received the invitation letter the butler handed, told him to throw it away without reading it.

"We don't have to go."

"Shouldn't you go? Wasn't it because the king hugged Brielle the other time..."

"Ah..."

The butler laughed at the thought of the king holding all the children one by one.

"Then, would you go back to work after receiving this invitation?"
