The winter of her sixth year.
The mat, always spread over the grass in the secret base, had been moved into the hut due to the cold weather, and white snow had piled up on the rock where they usually sat and played.
Evelia, who was particularly sensitive to the cold, ran into the hut as usual and flopped down in front of the fireplace.
“Brr, it’s cold!”
Ugh, I should have made the secret base’s entrance connected to the necklace not in the middle of the lawn but in front of the fireplace!
Enril, who was still more comfortable in his dragon form than his human form, also flew in with his short wings fluttering vigorously and trembled.
“Uhhuh. Cold.”
“Even with all your fluffy fur, Enril, you’re cold?”
“Just because my sister’s cold, so am I…..”
As they were warming up in front of the fireplace, a large blanket came down over the small body.
With a low voice trying to act tough.
“I told you to dress warmly.”
Looking up, she saw her devil friend with displeased golden eyes looking down at her.
“Rabbit!!”
“You never listen every winter.”
His words sounded like a nag, but his tone was warm.
“How many more winters do I have to nag you, huh?”
Concerned about the health of the little friend who always rushed into the secret base wearing only a dress for indoors, he decided to scold her properly this time.
“Hmm, for about 80 more years?”
He couldn’t help but soften his stern expression when she gave him such an excuse to stay by her side.
“Here, orange juice.”
To Evelia, who had melted all the snowflakes clinging to her small body, Arital handed her a clear, crimson orange juice.
“It’s amazing, Rabbit. All the oranges disappear in winter, yet you always manage to find them.”
“If you want, I can get them for about 80 more years.”
Reversing the number Evelia had suggested, Arital smiled enchantingly.
As long as his little friend could enjoy her juice full of pulp, it didn’t matter to the ruler whether his servants had to suffer for 80 more years.
“Gulp.”
The sound of the young dragon swallowing his saliva could be heard next to her.
Arital swiftly handed over a bit of the remaining orange juice.
“Here, have some of this.”
He had tried not to care, finding it unpleasant that the little one was always acting jealous at his side.
But he thought it was better to give him this than to have him snatch it.
“Thanks, devil rabbit.”
Just like that.
Arital, who was about to give him a good smack, remembered his precious friend watching from the side and quietly lowered his hand.
On the other hand, Evelia, swinging her short legs, brought up a new topic.
Evelia really loved talking with Arital.
His way of speaking, repeating the end of her sentences as if he was listening to her with warm eyes, always made Evelia happy no matter what they were talking about.
“You know, there’s a treasure hidden somewhere in our house that no one knows about.”
“There’s a treasure?”
“Yeah, it’s passed down as a legend.”
“Ah, passed down as a legend.”
“Yeah. So, the day before yesterday, I explored the house with Enril. Enril has a really good sense of smell.”
As soon as he heard his compliment, the young dragon, who had been slurping down the orange juice to the bottom, puffed out his chest as if to say, ‘Aren’t I great?’
“So, did you find it by exploring?”
“No but I got even better information!”
“What information did you get?”
Evelia giggled and said.
“Next spring, a di…diplomatic? Delegation?”
“Diplomatic mission.”
“Uhhuh. That. That’s going, and my dad is the representative.”
Wait. That laugh, it sounds ominous.
You little one, don’t tell me.
“I’m going too.”
……Ah, as expected. Arital held his forehead.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Contrary to Evelia’s expectation that he would agree immediately, Hugo firmly refused.
“You can’t, my dear.”
“Why?”
“I can ransack the eastern continent and put it in front of you, but I can’t take you there.”
The Eastern Continent, where the power of the Harbenta Empire is strongest.
Conversely, it is a place where the influence of the Ercadia Empire, which dominates the western continent, does not reach.
When visiting as a diplomatic mission, it is an unwritten rule between empires not to bring knights from one’s own country.
“How could one trust their intentions, considering they brought knights with them in droves to harm the royal family?
Unsurprisingly, it was difficult for the knights to accompany the delegation that was set to depart to the Eastern Continent this time.
The reason for Hugo’s refusal of Evelia’s request was because of that.
Hugo was capable of protecting himself in any situation. Whether the rest of the delegates died due to unexpected accidents wasn’t of his concern. However, it was different when it came to his daughter.
‘I won’t be able to keep my eyes on her at all times.’
As a representative of the Empire, he had to meet with the emperor and nobles of Harubenta Empire countless times, and naturally, there were times when he had to take his eyes off his daughter.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.

He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
