Fate is something we can’t change either. Interfering with someone’s life is also touching their fate. For example, if you healed a child destined to die, you would pay the price for it.
I honestly didn’t quite understand what he was saying, so I just said, “I see.”
To sum it up, there are children whose fate is to “weaken and die” in this situation, and if I heal those children, “fate changes,” and I have to pay the price. That seemed to be the story.
“It’s been fine so far, hasn’t it? I’m really fine….”
Anyway, April seems to have overheard the conversation I had with the butterflies back then.
And then told Jade about it. Did she tell Rodri, too? I glanced at Rodri, and he swiftly avoided my gaze. She told Rodri, too!
“This rabbit…! Surely she didn’t tell Grayan, did she?”
If he finds out, he might try to convince me to stop healing the children with the butterflies’ power… Is that April’s goal?
“April is always worried about me… even though she’s a man.”
…I couldn’t just blame April, so with mixed feelings, I stroked the rabbit’s fur. As always, it was soft and fluffy.
“I’m really fine. It’s been three days since I healed the children, and I’m completely fine and nothing’s wrong. You don’t need to worry.”
The question was from Jade, but it ended up looking like a response to April. Nevertheless, Jade nodded her head as if she had heard the answer.
“That’s a relief. But I think it might be difficult to heal the children with that power in the future. This morning, Sir Rodri told the Duke about it. But I kept the secret.”
“What?!”
I turned to look at Rodri with eyes filled with betrayal. Rodri, walking beside me, subtly avoided my gaze. There was guilt in his expression, but no sign of regret.
“You too, April… really…”
I tried to speak but just closed my mouth. What could I do? They were worried about me, after all.
I simply vigorously stroked the rabbit’s ears and roughly ruffled Rodri’s red hair.
Eat your snacks till you burst, you guys.
(This is a time divider.)
“April, don’t just eat meat pies…”
Of course, April, whom I was scolding, was not the kind to listen.
“Keehong.” With a scoffing sound, April picked up another meat pie. It was already her tenth. How did all that fit into that small stomach…? Is April’s stomach a black hole?
“April… you won’t be able to eat dinner like that.”
“Kkiyakkyawoong.” (I have a separate stomach for dinner.)
I see. What a truly remarkable gluttonous rabbit you are. You could even eat a tiger, really.
By the way, our young tiger Rodri was nibbling on a cookie for over 20 minutes. Come on, eat it quickly!
Does this guy eat his regular meals like that? He doesn’t nibble his food like that during meals, does he? I’ll have to sneak a peek in the knight’s dining hall later…! …Am I becoming too much of a tiger mom?
“Sir Rodri has a modest appetite. Speaking of which, April said she likes people with good appetites, right?”
Jade threw in a subtly suspicious comment. Of course, she’s on guard against Rodri while pretending not to be. But Rodri himself…
“…?”
He looked puzzled.
‘What’s the flow of this conversation?’ he seemed to say.
‘Pff.’
I held back a laugh and sipped my hot tea. Ah, hot.
“Kyayingit.” (Eat properly.)
Then, April handed Rodri a meat pie. It was the last piece of meat pie.
I was sure April was going to monopolize it…! But she gave it to Rodri! Our rabbit taking care of Rodri! Truly an angel rabbit!
“Ththank you, Princess.”
“Ungkye.” (Yeah.)
Rodri seemed a bit flustered but did not refuse the meat pie April offered. He looked at the meat pie as if it was something very precious, and took a small bite.
Rodriga finally ate properly without fussing, and I couldn’t help but feel moved. How nice does it look when she eats well? After all, children should eat heartily.
“…….”
And Jade was… glaring at Rodriga with an expression like a demon coming up from hell. …April’s kindness must have ignited Jade’s jealousy!
But boy, know this. People are often drawn to those who seem like they need to be protected, rather than those who protect them!
“Is it called…protective instinct?”
Rodriga is in many ways the type to evoke protective instincts, and Jade was the opposite.
If Rodriga seems like she needs protection and care, Jade seems like she can take care of herself…? More than taking care of herself, she feels like she’s scheming something…?
Of course, both are children that I need to protect. Since they are peers to April.
“It’s exciting and thrilling to see who April will get closer to. Of course, Jade, this kid shows a hint of obsession, so as April’s mother, I can’t help but be on guard. On the other hand, Rodriga, this kid…seems to think of April as a younger sibling.”
Between April and Rodriga, there’s not even the ‘R’ in romance. Of course, April is indifferent to both Rodriga and Jade…
“Our bunny is originally an ironclad bunny, and now is the age when mom is the best.”
So, in the end, the winner is me! Hehahaha!
