In the past few days, the Ludwik Ducal Mansion has flowed quietly.
The serenity, perhaps resulting from the turbulent days that had been experienced, felt slightly strange.
The silence owed much to Deon.
It was Deon who took charge of incidents and accidents in the Ludwik family, and he had been quiet.
“Perhaps it’s Miss Liche’s effect. The Lord may feel responsible, just as he said, for becoming her brother.”
As Zed said, that would be nice.
It wasn’t a calm before a storm.
Not that Deon was up to something, but my life had been like that.
Whenever it seemed quiet, an incident surely happened. Usually for the worse.
The deep eyes of Blake quietly glowed red.
“Planning to bring the foster daughter to the hunting party? I’m advising you as a favor, but it won’t be a pretty sight.”
A week ago. That was what the visiting Hibetzman Duke had said to Ludwik’s Ducal family.
Though it was heard and forgotten, it was not an empty warning.
Bringing Liche to the hunting party, where high nobles swarmed, was like bringing a tasty fish in front of cats to be torn and devoured.
‘It’s troubling.’
Blake tapped the armrest of his seated chair with his fingertips.
He was pondering what choice to make for Liche’s future.
He could let her live a rich life in the Ducal Mansion without major contact with other nobles for the rest of her life.
Or, if the child had a desired future, he could support it by enrolling her in the Royal Academy or other means.
Whatever it was, a choice had to be made soon. There wasn’t much time left for me.
‘She’s grown a lot since she first arrived.’
Liche had put on some weight, perhaps because she was eating and sleeping well in the Ducal Mansion.
Her height was still shorter than her peers, but children grew fast. Liche would soon grow tall as well.
Round silver eyes filled Blake’s head.
‘Should I ask?’
Blake rose from his desk again today.
He was losing every time to the temptation of Liche, who visited at least once a day.
He was unaware of his excuses, as they were always the same.
“……?”
Upon opening the library door, Blake turned his head to the faint footsteps coming from the side.
Liche, who was walking down the corridor, had run up quickly after seeing the library door open.
Liche stopped in front of Blake and looked up at him.
“Ah, Daddy!”
At that sound, Blake’s eyes widened slightly.
Liche came to me in a hurry and called me. Without realizing it, Blake’s heart became anxious and he asked,
“What’s the matter?”
Liche hesitated and licked her lips, not saying the next words.
From the shoulders of Liche, who was blushing with shyness, Pythons playfully wagged its tail.
“Ah, Daddy, please read the picture book.”
Liche’s hand held a picture book that she brought to read with Blake.
“…….”
Blake couldn’t respond immediately. His heart felt overwhelmed.
Had Liche ever come to me and asked for something before? Except for the one time she asked if she could keep a squirrel, never.
Always Liche spoke what she wanted only after I urged her a little.
“A picture book, I see.”
The growth of the child was precious.
Due to the innate disposition of Ludwik, who was not easily moved, it was a sensation felt for the first time in years.
Blake hugged Liche.
“I’ll read as much as you want.”
Then he slightly smiled at Liche.
For the first time seeing Blake’s smile up close, Liche’s eyes widened in surprise.
(This is a time separator.)
“Daddy, I’ll come again tomorrow!”
“Alright.”
Receiving Blake’s farewell, Liche came out of the library.
She had just finished reading the picture book with Blake.
‘I did it again today……!’
As the library door closed, Liche joyfully ran down the corridor.
Madam Michel would have said it was a behavior against manners, but no one was in the hallway, so it was alright.
More than that, she felt proud that she had purified energy behind Blake’s back today.
Riche fiddled with the fingers that had purified Blake’s energy.
‘Once a day. If I purify it only enough not to be noticed, I won’t get caught as a Rhetiom.’
It was a plan to purify just as much energy as she consumed a day’s worth of life every day.
If it was possible, at least while she was with Blake, there would be no death due to the accumulation of Om.
So Riche had to make a daily schedule to meet Blake.
Reading picture books seemed the most plausible excuse.
Although she worried that it might steal his busy time, Blake gladly accepted Riche’s daily request to read picture books.
Already three days.
Blake’s Om purification was proceeding successfully.
‘I’m glad Dad allowed it.’
Riche hummed a tune to herself.
Now, she naturally called Blake ‘Dad’ even in her thoughts and slightly lowered her head.
She felt a tingling sensation again. Lately, the corners of her mouth were frequently turning up without her knowing.
“Hey.”
Someone called Riche, who was about to go down to her room on the 2nd floor from Blake’s study on the 3rd floor.
In the Ludwick mansion, only one person could call Riche like that.
