Tamed The ML's Father

CHAPTER 7.2

Who made Ardellos' Lord look so haggard? I heard that the Subtotal Battle had been quite long, Is it because of that? That's terrible!

I was thinking about it and came up with a plausible hypothesis. 

'It may be because of the Delde Clan. It's a likely possibility. No, it's the truth. In the present world, the Delde Clan is the biggest problem.'

'Ha, what happens when he finds out that I'm Delde?'

Suddenly distracted, I wanted to say goodbye.

It might be best if the Lord won't notice things about me.

"Long time no see~."

Now, go away. And please stop staring with that indifferent look of yours.

I tried to turn my head to avoid his eyes. However, his firm, shut-up expression gradually softened.

Then, an admiring voice burst.

"C-cute...!"

He stood there and said so, with an exhausted look.

When I realized what he said, I was surprised and eventually shut up.

Of course, everyone here has heard his words, though.

***

Since the return of the Lord, The Castle has suddenly become disturbed.

We had to open the welcoming ceremony, and we had to pay generously to the troubled knights.

The knights who were away from their family and friends for a long time were also excited to meet their parents.

This was all because the campaign was longer than initially planned.

Although letters were collected and delivered to the group every time there was a gap, their longing was not overlooked.

Thanks to the Lord's protection, the Ardellos Castle was untouched. Also, The Butler was a difficult position since he was in charge of the castle when the Lord went out.

The maids assigned to us were also in an easy and enviable position because of those changes. Looking at this alone, I could discern how crowded the house is now.

Even so, that is not a reasonable excuse for them not to serve Devarus and leave him on my care. A maid asked me again when she was worried about it.

"Lily. Please take good care of little master, if there is anything, contact me right away."

"Yes, don't worry!"

I smiled and looked at her. When she felt relieved, she sighed.

"Yeah, I'm glad you are here."

"Yeah!"

I replied vigorously.

It's only a day or two to act as Devarus' nanny. I could do this without difficulty.

It took a while to be able to take a nap for a short time, but it wasn't a hard position.

Initially, I should have been grouped within the maids and helped with the chores.

When the welcoming ceremony begins, Devarus will be left out.

Well, then, I can rest. After finishing thinking about it, I felt refreshed.

Devarus ran from a distance, smiling with a feeling of freedom from parenting.

"Lily! There are a lot of people!"

"Yes, many!"

Devarus glanced away and looked at the gathered knights, for a moment his eyes twinkled looking at the knights then, gradually it was replaced by curiosity.

I wondered why he was looking at them, and Devarus grumbled rudely.

"Chi, I liked it more when I don't have a father."

The words, which were uttered in a small voice, seemed to be muttered to himself and quickly disappeared. However, the sultry look did not disappear.

Then I recalled that Devarus cried when he looked at the Lord from a young age.

I don't think that the Lord left a scary impression, so how did it happen?

It was incomprehensible. Therefore I carefully asked Devarus,

"Why? Do you hate your dad?"

"Huh."

It was a knife-like answer.

Two eyes with a firm determination turned to me.

Then he started to answer me,

"Don't you hate him, too?"

"Who?"

"Huh? you hate him too. right?"

I looked at him several times, and it seemed that he really dislikes his father.

Initially, Devarus was quite stubborn.

That's why he used to be grumpy if I didn't agree with his opinion. Of course, it wasn't overkill, It was troublesome!

So, in the end, I would have just nodded.

However, this problem did not seem to be right. I am a no one, but the Lord was a relative, and more so, a parent.

'Um, but it's annoying to interrupt.'

Even so, I was an ambassador who took the side of the Lord.

I sat silently, making a flower bracelet like he did. We split the stems, made a gap, and weaved wildflowers between them.

After repeating the action several times, three gold flower bracelets were made. While making these two, Devarus was moving from side to side.

"Say you hate him too!"

he said, still forcing me answer.

I silently gave him the flower bracelet I made to him, Then I told him intently,

"Tell him, and say 'Dad' and bring these with you. Would you do it??"

"What?"

"Try it once."

"Yeah, but......."

Devarus hesitated.

"You don't like what I am giving you?"

As I looked at him, I asked bluntly.

I asked again, sticking out the bracelet. Devarus shook his head to my question.

"no! I will cherish it!"

His cheeks turned red again after holding a bracelet in both hands like a fern.

'If you bury it in your arms like that, it will quickly fade away.'

But I decided to leave it alone. In the first place, the flower bracelet was originally withered.

What does it matter for it to be well maintained and go another day or two?

I threw a tip to revive their broken relationship, instead of bruising Devarus.

"You must give it by shouting 'Papa!' got it?"

During my words, Devarus opened his eyes and looked at me.

Then he pronounced the two syllables as strange as he looked.

.

.

"Pa...... Pa?"

I nodded my head. Nevertheless, Devarus seemed not to understand.
