“I’m not a scaredycat! I’m a child about to become an adult, so it’s fine!”

They immediately began to squabble.

Though they argued, the children’s faces were very bright.

I was somewhat relieved.

‘They’re not scared, at least. That’s fortunate.’

The twins seemed to find the move to the Demon King’s planet more fascinating than scary.

It was probably natural for children experiencing everything for the first time.

“I, I want to go into my room!”

Louis quickly went into his room.

Seeing his cute behavior, I quickly followed into the child’s room.

“Just a moment!”

The entrance was extraordinary, so the room couldn’t be ordinary!

I stood in the center of the room, gasping for breath. My eyes seemed to light up.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Louis, surprised because of me, blinked his eyes.

The room was filled with skyblue wallpaper, a wooden bed, and luxury furniture that was just right for a child.

‘…It’s fine?’

I rubbed my eyes at the unexpectedly nice room.

But I still didn’t let my guard down.

After thoroughly checking Louis’s room, I took Evan to the forefront.

“Prince Evan, may we check your room?”

“……Yes, if it’s Aileen, anytime.”

Evan spoke shyly, as if he were already the owner of the room.

I quickly checked Evan’s room, but it was no different from where Louis was staying.

‘The color of the wallpaper is different?’

Louis’s room was bright skyblue, and Evan’s room seemed to be themed in a pale purple color.

‘…Well. A handsome lunatic must have thoughts too.’

It was fortunate that the children’s rooms were normal.

Having checked everything, I finally sighed.

‘By the way, where is my room?’

According to what I heard earlier, there were only Emma and the children’s rooms.

There were many rooms left on the second floor, so I thought there would be somewhere.

Soon Eshtra came out into the corridor after putting the faint Emma in her room.

I carefully opened my mouth.

“Eshtra? Where might my room be?”

“Miss Hallen will use the third floor.”

“Just me?”

“Yes. Let me guide you.”

Dracula was still dangling, folded in half on Eshtra’s shoulder.

“Ah, haha. The third floor! It’s a nice place!”

I nodded my head busily, thinking that if I objected, her other shoulder would be my place.

Eshtra and I left the children and went up to the third floor.

‘It’s strange.’

Unlike the second floor, the third floor had two rooms facing each other across a long corridor.

“You can use this side.”

Eshtra pointed to one of them.
The children’s room was in good shape, so mine must be similar, I guess.

All that remained for me was a desire to quickly go in and rest.

“Thank you for showing me around.”

It was a polite way of telling her to leave quickly.

And for a good reason, as Dracula, who had been resting on her shoulder, had been bothering her quite a bit.

‘The butler might have a nosebleed.’

I was afraid she might bleed again.

For our safety, I spit out the restraining order.

“Then, I’ll be going.”

Just before my hand touched the doorknob, Ashtra pressed the door.

“Wait.”

“……Yes?”

“It’s a message from the Count.”

It was even more terrifying up close.

‘What did that crazy man say?’

What on earth did he ask her to convey that made her so scared?

I just blinked at Ashtra as she backed me into the wall.

Soon, she opened her mouth.

“Whether it’s day or night, it’s fine.”

Her voice lowered, imitating Kashar’s voice.

Ashtra pointed to the room across the hall after saying half of the sentence.

“Come to my room whenever. You can invite me too.”

The remaining room was Kashar’s bedroom.

“That’s all. Rest comfortably.”

As if nothing had happened, Ashtra retreated with a polite attitude.

After she disappeared, I opened my room’s door as if bewitched.

‘The crazy man is just a crazy man.’

The speculation that even a madman would have thoughts was an utterly foolish judgment.

I flopped down onto the bed without even looking around the room.

But the bed was too big. It was kingsized.

‘Invite my foot!’

I should have included a harassment ban in the contract!

After raging for a while, I eventually fell asleep.

‘Uh, I’m tired.’

When I opened my eyes, already 4 hours had passed.

The children were tired too, so we gathered in Louis’s room and had a simple dinner instead of in the dining room.

Ashtra told me as she cleaned up the basket with bread in it.

“I will guide you to the introduction of the servants and the internal structure of the castle tomorrow.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

It was already pitchblack night, so it wasn’t a suitable time to hear such an explanation.

As I nodded, Ashtra went outside with the dishes.

That’s when Louis whined to me.

“Aileen, I’m so sleepy. But I don’t want to sleep……. I want to play before sleeping.”

Louis had already started to doze off.

I patted the child’s full stomach and pulled up the blanket.

“Can you sleep well by yourself?”

“……Ugh, I’m brave…… Uh.”

His eyes were already half closed.

I kissed Louis’s cheek. The child fell asleep immediately.
