So when only the company of Edin and Caron from the Artina Knights was allowed, Herold took the opportunity to cleverly influence Evelia.
“Huh…… Herold is a fool. When on earth will he grow up……”
Evelia, who barely reached Herold’s knee, pointed her index finger and swayed it side to side as she looked at Herold with disdain.
Evelia, who was now quite fluent, was making her points one after another, albeit with some difficulty.
To think I’d hear from my mistress, who is only three years old and the size of my food bowl, that I need to grow up……
With the shocked Herold left behind, Evelia, dressed in a white dress that sparkled with many embedded diamonds and a small teddy bear bag swinging on her back, joyfully entered the Duke’s residence.
“Eve! Eve, where are you?”
Elysia had finished preparing to depart for the Duke’s house and was searching for Evelia on the first floor.
Evelia, who had been hiding amongst the armor in the second floor hallway, scaring the passing knights with “Boo! Boo!” sounds, hurriedly ran towards the stairs. Concerned that she might fall, Arcan, who had quickly come up, held her in his arms and carried her down.
“Big brother Hehehe.”
She still liked being held by her big brother, even though she could come down by herself.
As Evelia rubbed her face against Arcan’s chest, Arcan, who loved holding his younger sister more than anything else in the world, gently kissed her forehead.
“Master, the carriage is ready.”
When the butler Hadel announced this, Evelia, who had been impatiently waiting to depart, waved her hand vigorously at the Duke’s servants and knights.
“Let’s go……Okay!!”
“Ah! Wait a moment, Miss!!”
The knights stopped the little chick Miss, who was about to hastily rush outside.
When Evelia turned around as if to ask why they had called her, the knights flocked around and began to review the contents they had taught Evelia some time ago.
We’ve been consistently teaching our little Miss selfdefense in preparation for this day! The outside of the house is dangerous!
“Miss, we’re going to review what we taught you recently!”
“Ong!!”
Evelia held up her chin and sparkled her eyes as if to say, ask me anything!
I remember! I remember everything!
“Alright, Miss, what should you do if a demon appears outside the Duke’s house?”
“I threaten very scary! Grrrrrr.”
“……”
“……”
The knights looked at Evelia, who was making a sound like a puppy instead of threatening very scary, with a devastated expression.
…… Well, will a demon really appear? More important than that is selfdefense against fussy men! Let’s move on to the next!
“Very unimportant…… no, that was a very scary threat! Well done!”
Herold hastily corrected himself, almost letting slip his true feelings of ‘a very unimportant threat’.
“Then Miss, what should you say if someone asks you to eat with them?”
“I don’t want to! I won’t! Why are you like this!”
Evelia raised her two fists in guard as if she was about to launch a onetwo punch and retorted sharply. Her blue eyes glared as fiercely as she could.
However, to the knights’ eyes, she was still insignificant. Cold sweat trickled down the knights’ cheeks as they exchanged glances.
What should we do about this……? Let’s move on to the next thing for now!
“Yes……you are indeed intelligent! Then, what should you do if someone tries to pat your head?”
“Kick……cha!”
“Where?”
“Here!”
‘Like this Like this.’ Evelia demonstrated by raising her short legs and kicking.
Only then did the knights realize. The Miss’s legs are too short to reach the important part!
“Wow……our Miss is very brave! Lastly, what should you do if someone tries to take you somewhere?”
“Scream! Knights! Knights!”
Evelia, this time, made her tiny hand into the shape of a horn and shouted, “Knight Daan!”
That’s right, this method is the best. Following the commandant and Caron!
“Very special! Must you always do as told when something happens?”
“Oh! Don’t worry!!”
Evelia, as if to say trust only her, extended her chest and closed her mouth tightly.
Despite following Evelia’s relatively useful selfdefense techniques, the knights still showed worried expressions.
We have to follow her… What if someone bothers our little lady…
The knights couldn’t shake off their worries and their feet twitched and they glanced at the door, wanting to follow the little lady, when Hugo opened his mouth with a strange expression.
“You guys, you’ve taught Eve something really good.”
Elysia thought. Hugo was definitely making fun of the knights who taught the useless selfdefense technique.
She expected her husband to say something harsh to the knights who had taught something really good to the child.
“You’ve done something special for once, so everyone is exempt from training today.”
…? Was saying that they taught something really good, not making fun, but that they actually taught something good, darling?
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
