“You will be a king. A king who can protect and make not only the people but also my precious ones happy.”
His words were childishly clear. But I couldn’t laugh at the serious look on Hees’s face.
When I was Hees’s age, crossing a drawn line on the desk with my playmate was my biggest concern. I suddenly felt how different this world was from my past life in Korea.
“Hmm, then you will get along very well with the Duke.”
I slowly wrote down the last one, ‘3. Kirian: No answer.’
Before Hees could point it out, I quickly continued.
“No answer doesn’t mean there is no answer, but maybe it’s not time yet? Anyway, just a little time will solve the problem.”
Hees’s eyebrows went up.
“A problem?”
I finally let out a deep sigh.
“Kirian has no friends. He’s a little obsessed with me, probably because I’m his only friend.”
I poked the cake with a fork.
“He’s still a very lovable and good child. I really don’t know why he has no friends. Maybe everyone is scared away because they think he’s too studious.”
“You like Scholar Kirian a lot.”
I stopped my fork at Hees’s words.
“Is that how it is?”
“Yes, it seems like you worry a lot about the Scholar. Isn’t that impossible if you don’t like him?”
Hees’s clear answer made me think a little deeper.
“Um, it feels like I’m raising a cat who is top in the hierarchy and goes around hitting other cats with ‘Meow Punch,’ so everyone avoids it?”
“But it plays well with its owner.”
I sighed again.
“Sometimes it bites the owner too.”
I thought about the day I first came to the Duke’s house. I was harshly treated then. I would have cried on the spot if I had been a child.
I shook my head vigorously to shake off the distraction.
“Anyway, don’t worry. The cat, no, the Scholar will naturally resolve when he meets his master.”
Since it was a problem that would naturally be solved by Esméralda, I didn’t worry too much. I closed the notebook and handed it to Hees.
“Now, is this all?”
Hees shook his head.
“No.”
Hees, who even took the pencil, opened the notebook again and wrote a new number under Kirian.
‘4. Reina: .’
“You have to tell me about the princess.”
I glared at Hees, wideeyed. This kid was definitely going to be a player when he grew up.
Hees only continued to smile at my stern gaze.
“For me, well, you just need to tell me the basics.”
I recalled memories from my previous life to ponder what would be fundamental for a tenyearold boy. A few hazy memories of severe bullying from elementary school came to mind.
“Don’t pull anyone’s hair, don’t steal snacks or the like. Doing just that would be great.”
I added in case Hees might make the needless mistake of thinking he needs to play fun to become friends with a child my age.
“I don’t even expect you to play with me, so just be moderately good and don’t bother.”
Hees pushed the new piece of cake in front of him towards me.
“Like this?”
I was startled as I took the plate he offered. Just then, I had cleanly finished my cake.
“Uh, yes.”
At that moment, the wind blew sharply, and a petal rain fell from a nearby tree.
“You’ve got petals in your hair.”
Hees naturally reached towards my hair.
Thud.
Then Hees’s hand was stopped, and someone brushed my hair back with a rustling sound.
Startled, I turned around, and Kirian was standing there. Kirian smiled playfully and extended his hand. As he spread his hand, the petals fluttered away.
“Genchana Neuna. It looks pretty even when it’s stuck.”
Kirian spoke as if it was natural and obvious.
“Ah, uhuh.”
I awkwardly touched my head, but the touched hair was only stiff.
I glanced at the dirt on Kirian’s knee.
“How did you get here?”
The last sight of him was being led by the Duchess, and I swallowed the rest.
I was secretly anxious whether Kirian had heard our conversation. It wasn’t long after the wedding turmoil, and if the engagement talk came up, it would surely cause a big fuss.
Kirian blinked calmly at my question.
“I was walking nearby. I didn’t know Neuna was here.”
“Uhhuh. You were walking.”
I didn’t believe his words outright, but I wished Kirian would leave soon.
I was even more anxious as I still had a lot to talk to Hees.
“Then continue your walk.”
“The snack looks delicious.”
At the moment when I was going to tell him to continue enjoying his walk, Kirian very naturally sat down at the table.
And he was sitting on an imaginary chair, as there were only two chairs.
Kirian, maintaining a steady squatting position, even began to sip tea.
After briefly smelling the tea fragrance, Kirian tilted his head towards Hees.
“But who is this person?”
“Oh, this is……”
“I’m the 1st Prince of Ksia Kingdom, Hees Ksiara.”
Hees did not lose his courteous smile even to the unexpected visitor.
“Uhhuh. Ksia’s prince? I don’t know much.”
Kirian spoke with an innocent expression, but I could feel the bone in his words from his slightly narrowed eyes.
“The young prince may not have learned about the neighboring countries yet.”
Hees countered without any sign of fluster.
The corners of Kirian’s eyes quivered, as he hated being treated like a child, and I involuntarily gulped.
But instead of flipping the tea table, Kirian folded his eyes and smiled a smile that could melt even the Arctic’s harsh cold.
“How old is Prince Hees? You seem quite old.”
“I’m twelve this year.”
“Hmm.”
Kirian fiddled with the tea cup again, seeming to have lost interest.
“You seem a bit too old to be friends with our Neuna.”
“I’m glad. I have no intention of being friends with Princess Reina.”
Kirian’s eyes began to sharpen.
“What do you mean by that?”
