As the flustered maid didn’t know what to do, Cain, who had walked forward, gently stroked the head of the little girl engrossed in playing with mud.

“Lea, what are you making? You didn’t even notice the arrival of the princess.”

“I’m making a castle with mud. Just a little more!”

“Come to think of it, it’s an excellent castle. Can I help you a bit? I’ll make it so beautiful that Lea can live in it.”

“Yeah! Let’s do it!”

Lea, as she was called, nodded with sparkling eyes.

Cain, with a kind smile towards the child, waved his hand in the air.

“Wow…”
Following Cain’s hand gestures, a sprinkle of light dust fell onto the pile of dirt, and soon it began to transform into a large fortress.

As a sizable sandcastle was created, which could accommodate a little kid moving back and forth, Lea cheered enthusiastically.

“Cain oppa, great job! It’s amazing!”

“I’m glad if Lea likes it. I’m having fun too.”

It seemed that Cain was so focused on Lea’s play that he might not be paying attention to me, which was a concern.

Only after the child’s excitement had settled, Cain introduced me.

“Now, Lea, we should greet the guest. This is Princess Bella. Do you remember how to greet politely?”

“Nice to meet you, Lea. I’m glad to meet you!”

“Yeah! Nice to meet you too.”

The sight of the child, barely able to control her body, gathering her hands and doing a cute greeting was incredibly charming.

Imagining that I might have been like that not too long ago made me feel a bit embarrassed, yet strangely warm, and a laughter naturally escaped from me.

“I apologize, Princess. My sister is still very young, so her etiquette is lacking.”

“It’s okay. It’s natural at her age.”

After exchanging quiet conversation that Lea couldn’t hear, we soon left the scene.

As much as I wanted to spend more time with the child, we didn’t have much leisure.

“This should be enough to see around the mansion. How about going to the reception area to quench your thirst? I’ve instructed them to prepare drinks and snacks.”

“Are the things I requested ready? I mentioned them in the letter.”

The real reason for visiting the Peregnan family mansion today.

It was none other than to meet the lord of the mansion.

Asking Cain about the main topic, which he seemed reluctant to bring up, he smiled subtly.

“Of course. You’ll see when you go to the reception room.”

“Alright. Let’s go.”

After a while, we arrived at the reception room, where a simple refreshment was arranged. Except for two servants serving tea, everyone else was ushered out by Cain.

Taking me to a hidden passage, Cain said, “Through this passage, you should be able to meet our father. It’s a restricted area, so feel free to converse securely.”

“Thank you for arranging a meeting with the lord, Cain.”

“You’re welcome. However… there’s something I’m a bit concerned about.”

“What is it?”

“My father has a rather stubborn personality, and we may have some differences of opinion. If he says something different from what the princess wants, please don’t take it to heart. I will try to convince him in some way.”

Cain’s gaze as he spoke was full of sincerity.

After a brief nod, I walked slowly through the secret passage.

Although I felt a bit uneasy leaving Cain and Raven in the reception room, I had no choice as it was a place to negotiate with the lord.

Exiting the passage, a dark secret chamber without windows was revealed.
Inside the secret chamber, a middle-aged man with a beard was gazing at a flickering candle.

‘Is this the Baron mentioned in the letter?’

Sparse light revealed faded silver hair and deep violet eyes, telling the story of passing years. The Baron, resembling Cain with his distinct features, appeared to be a suitable owner of a mature appearance.

“Welcome, Princess. I am Baron, overseeing the Peregnan estate. I apologize for receiving you in this secret chamber on our first meeting.”

“It’s alright. I’m the one who came unannounced.”

“Please, have a seat here. I’ve prepared a comfortable chair for you, Princess.”

Approaching the Baron, I sat on a small chair at the designated place of honor.

Despite being child-sized, the finely crafted chair felt much more luxurious than the Baron’s, showcasing meticulous consideration.

“I heard you wished to meet me. May I inquire about the purpose of your visit?”

“I’ll ask straightforwardly. I’m currently pursuing those who attempted to assassinate me. Can you help me, Baron?”

“Haha, as bold as they say. I didn’t expect you to get straight to the point like this on our first meeting.”

“I figured you already know why I came. That’s why you summoned me to a place like this. No need to waste time.”

“Your words are correct. You seem remarkably intelligent for your age, Princess.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

I offered a relaxed expression and playfully punched the air. Though it was me who urgently sought help, I knew that appealing like a child would only backfire.

To draw out voluntary assistance from the Baron, negotiation was more critical than emotional appeals.

“If you assist me, I’ll promise full support to the Peregnan estate afterward. Even if you share information with me alone, it’s acceptable. Formal collaboration seems burdensome.”

“You possess negotiation skills beyond your age, Princess. However, I don’t find your proposal particularly enticing. I apologize, but your influence is not significant enough at the moment.”

“No, that’s a mistaken notion.”

“What do you mean?”

This is where it gets crucial. After taking a deep breath, I clasped my fingers and spoke earnestly.

“If the Baron is concerned about the future of the royal family, supporting me is the right choice. I will ascend to the pinnacle of this kingdom.”
