Wriothesley's POV
"You are not to do anything so reckless again."
"Yes, Your Grace."
"No more secrets."
"Yes, Your Grace."
"If something is wrong just tell me! Tsk! You are still a child! Who asked you to act like an adult?"
"Yes, Your Grace."
"Are you even listening to me?"
"Yes, Your Grace."
"You are grounded for life." I tried.
Sure enough...
"Yes, Your Grace." He said blankly.
This brat...
I stuck out my hand to pinch his ear.
"Ouch! Ouch! Your Grace-"
"At least bother listening to me when I scold you, you damn brat."
Tsk!
Reckless kid!
But...
"You did a good job protecting them. Thank you." I petted him on the head.
Reckless but for the right reason.
Tsk!
He's still grounded for a week.
I took a step aside as Neuvillette too came over to either thank or scold Claude.
I wasn't sure. My attention was drawn away when I felt a small pull on my shirt.
"Sigewinne? Is everything-"
"Just come with me for a second."
She pulled me to the side, motioning for me to crouch down.
Oh?
She usually didn't like it when I lowered myself to her level.
It was even more surprising when she hugged me.
"It's- It's good to see you again." She mumbled.
That scared, huh?
I hugged her back, petting her back reassuringly.
"I'm glad you're here... P-Pa... Papa."
A shiver ran down my spine right that instant.
Sigewinne too stiffened.
"Yeah, that's the last time I'm doing that. At most, I'll just call you Uncle Wriothesley in private." She mumbled as she ducked out of my embrace.
"Okay. That's fine."
Completely fine.
That was weird.
Really weird.
It sounded more like some kind of threat than anything.
It was cute when the rest of the girls said it but...
I glanced over to Sigewinne only to almost burst out laughing.
She...
She was pouting all red-faced.
