While showing interest in the news that Hadell had acquired a lover at the Duke’s residence, and slightly smiling at the evening menu being chicken,
” Hadell, this is ba…ba!”
A faint sound that was hard to distinguish as either a chick’s cry or a human’s voice if one didn’t listen closely came from somewhere.
As soon as he turned his head towards the sound, Caron inadvertently took a deep breath.
How could such a being exist in this world?
She seemed as if she herself was a small star. Her pure blue eyes were so clear, meeting her gaze felt like committing a sin.
She was so tiny that it seemed a gentle breeze could blow her away, and it looked as if she could be greatly injured by a hit from a tree fruit.
At least in the eyes of Caron and the other Artina knights, that was the case.
From the moment they first laid eyes on the young lady, the other knights started trailing behind her, but Caron could not.
Caron still had the lingering murderous intent from his time as an assassin, when he had cut down numerous people.
Being merely seventeen and young, Caron, unlike the other knights, had not yet mastered how to control his murderous intent.
Worried that if he approached, the young lady might get startled by his murderous intent, Caron was content just to follow her with his eyes.
“Caron, this is…this!”
But the young lady unhesitatingly approached him first.
One day she gave him a piece of chocolate, which she said was more precious than her life, and left,
“Caron! Play…with me!”
And demanded that he play with her, her cute fists clenched in front of him,
“Adventure, let’s go, Caron!”
And pleaded him to join her on an adventure.
He was just thankful. He thought he might not be able to be her escort, but he could watch her from afar and put his life on the line like a watchdog at any time.
When the young lady asked who would be the best as her escort, he was trying not to hold even the slightest expectation, standing in the farthest corner of the reception room and looking out the window.
But didn’t the young lady approach him?
It couldn’t be, it’s just a vain hope.
Despite trying to deny it, his heart began to beat rapidly against his will.
Even when he saw the downfall of the family with his own eyes, his heart had never beat this much.
Soon he felt a small force pulling at his clothes.
His heart, which was beating so fast, seemed to freeze for a moment.
“Caron!”
Thud. His heart fell.
He instinctively knew.
Somewhere deep inside him, the owner of his life was engraved.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]In the dark night, when Evelia had already gone to dreamland and only the light from Hugo’s office was leaking out of the mansion,
“You’re still young.”
…Is it not possible? Caron bit his lip.
He understood the lord’s feelings. He was young. He was a former assassin.
“Yet being young also means there’s a lot of potential for growth.”
Impossible. Caron raised his eyes to meet Hugo’s gaze.
“Our Eve, I’m counting on you.”
“……I swear.”
My sword, my life, my soul. They’re all the baby’s.
These were the words he failed to utter in his trembling voice.
The eyes of Caron, illuminated by the moonlight, were the fierce eyes of a wolf, ready to tear apart any threats that might approach their little master.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
