Understanding Caron’s intention to carry her and put her to sleep at once, Cedric, seeing his little sister easily falling into the trap, had to suppress his laughter.
Caron, who poured out the excellent skills he learned during his assassin days into childcare, walked very quietly with the muffled footsteps he learned back in those days.
So, there was no way she could stay awake.
The sounds of people enjoying the festival and making noise merged into one and came to her ears like a lullaby.
Soon, her sparkling eyes slowly closed and her small arms drooped.
“No, I am not sle…”
Even though no one asked if she was asleep, she emphasized several times out of nowhere that she hadn’t slept.
“No… Not sle…”
Every fifty steps or so, she would insist that she hadn’t slept, causing Cedric to cover his mouth with his hand all the way to the Duke’s house because of his sister’s sleep talk.
Because it was certain that a big laugh would wake up his sister.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]It had been a long time since the sun set.
Around 11 PM, usually only dim lanterns were lit in the Duke’s house.
But today, when Evelia went out, none of the servants, knights, or even the owners of the Duke’s house turned off the light that brightly lit the house.
For Cedric and Caron, who had finished their difficult childcare and returned to the Duke’s house, and for their precious Miss.
Squeak.
“Father, Mother, Brother. I’m back!”
As soon as Cedric and Caron entered, Hugo, seeing Evelia on Caron’s back, immediately picked up his daughter.
It was as if he was snatching her from Caron.
No matter how much Caron was a bodyguard and Evelia was still young, he wasn’t very pleased that the rascal had his daughter on his back.
That was Caron, who sometimes faced life and death with Hugo.
Therefore, he knew just by looking at his master’s eyes.
He saw the future, where he would be the pick for tomorrow’s duel.
Then, Evelia, who was in Hugo’s arms, grunted once again.
“I… I am not sle…”
Oh, it’s still not over?
“She’s been like that all the way back.”
When Cedric shrugged his shoulders and spoke, Elysia gave a gentle smile.
Her daughter, who didn’t have much freedom to go out, seemed to really hate coming back.
She felt sorry for her daughter, who was cute even while insisting she wasn’t asleep, wandering in dreamland.
“Did Eve get blessed and get on the carriage?”
The family who couldn’t join Evelia’s first Blessing Festival because they had to visit the Royal Palace were curious about every little thing that happened today.
“You’ll see. By tomorrow, there will be a rumor all over the capital that Eve received God’s love.”
Hugo handed Eve over to Vivian and gestured to Cedric to go upstairs.
The conversation between the Duke and Duchess and their two sons sometimes drew laughter and sometimes sighs, continuing until late into the night.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]It was a clear day.
Between spring and summer. The smell of flowers wafted from the moderately warmed air.
The sun that could be somewhat hot was blocked by a white curtain and faintly lit the room.
“Ugh, I… I’m not sle…!!”
Evelia, who had been changed into comfortable chickcolored pajamas by Vivian’s hand, had been strolling through the splendid festival even in her dreams.
‘I’m not asleep yet, don’t take me home!’ she was telling her bodyguard.
When she opened her eyes, she was already in her room. The familiar ceiling. The morning with chirping birds. The sunlight is bright.
Stunned by the discrepancy between dream and reality, Evelia sat on the bed for a while.
“Morning? The Bless…?”
As Evelia thought about whether the Blessing Festival was a dream or she had gone to the Blessing Festival and then fell asleep, she sighed when she found the flower basket neatly placed where her gaze reached.
“Damn, I didn’t fall asleep……”
What. She had a good night’s sleep all night without waking up once.
Evelia had a tantrum, kicking her bed in frustration, realizing that the end of her splendid outing was nothing short of fainting.
Feeling a presence, she then sought solace in Vivian’s arms, who had come in. After finishing her bath, brushing her teeth, and washing her face, she went down to the garden with a basket of flowers.
She had a lot to do that day.
The basket filled with pink petals had the blessing of the priests, so the petals didn’t wither for quite some time.
There were rumors that if a highranking priest gives a blessing, the petals may not wither for a lifetime.
Regardless, having been chosen as the blessed child, although she couldn’t grab the petals on the spot, she herself was the blessed child.
If I throw and catch it, then I’m catching the petals thrown by the blessed child!
So it wouldn’t be different from me catching the petals thrown by another blessed child!
That way, she would give some to her father, mother, brother, the Knights, the butler, the maids, the servants, the cooks, and the gardeners.
And later to Brother Relian and Brother Ikrian.
And to the baby rabbit and the food thief.
It was very difficult to catch the blessed petals, as she found out at the parade site yesterday.
Everyone would be very happy if she threw and caught such petals and shared them with everyone.
“Hehe, it’s wonderful.”
Just the thought of everyone being happy had her spirits soaring.
“Undine.”
Throwing and catching by herself a hundred times was boring, so she called her fish friend to be her occasional companion.
The summoned Undine had a haggard expression.
[Alright, do whatever. Just don’t break my house again…]“Ah! I should give one to Undine too!”
[Yes, give me anything. Even better if it shortens my life…]Undine learned something new. Spirits too feel their life span shortening.
Looking at the circles under the chick contractor’s eyes, it seems the Wind King also left a mark, and how do the Kings manage this chick?
Unaware of Undine’s worry, Evelia made a promise looking at the petals piled up in her lap.
Finish before lunch!
“One.”
A delicate petal flew fluttering out of Evelia’s small hand.
Riding the wind and swaying here and there, it was not easy to catch it again.
If it accidentally fell to the ground, she would pick it up, wipe it clean with her hand, and continue throwing and catching it.
“Two.”
Seeing that it took over 10 minutes to throw and catch two, it seemed it would take all day to catch a hundred.
“Three.”
The third one was particularly hard to catch, she had to hop around to get it.
[…..]Undine wore a serious expression.
[By the way, chick.]“Thirty.”
[It’s not thirty, it’s twenty. You skipped ten.]“I count well. Twenty.”
[That’s not the point, chick.]Evelia looked at Undine as if to ask why he called her.
[Why do you throw and catch that?]“You don’t know, Undine. I heard if I throw and catch this, blessings will be in the petals. It’s a gift.”
[No, I mean. You’re the blessed child from the blessing ceremony, so you can just throw it at people.]“……?”
[You’re the blessed child. You don’t have to throw and catch, just throw it at the people you want to give it to! It wouldn’t be hard then!]“……!”
Oh my. Such a way existed!
She hadn’t thought about it at all. Her clear oceanblue eyes widened in surprise.
[Sigh, you’re just like a chick, even your intelligence is like a chicken.]“Are chickens smart?”
She had learned that chickens were delicious, but she hadn’t learned whether they were smart or stupid.
She laughed innocently, not knowing that he was mocking her.
Just like you. Just…
Undine swallowed his tearful reply and tried to think positively.
He even made an excuse to the wind spirit, Sylph, who was passing by.
[Our kid is like this because she hasn’t learned everything yet. She’s only four!]She’ll get better when she grows up. It must be so.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
