About an hour ago, Leon’s mansion.

“Young Master, I noticed the lights on all night. Why are you pushing yourself so hard? You’re not even going to work.”

“Ah, sorry for worrying you. I couldn’t sleep…”

“Sigh, if you don’t sleep properly, you won’t recover. Young Master.”

“…You’re right.”

Despite attempting to sleep amidst overwhelming concerns, Leon couldn’t sleep at all. As a result, his immunity dropped, causing him to run a fever like a child.

Normally, he would have just gone out to work, but this time, he couldn’t possibly do that. If he went to work, he would end up seeing her again.

Like that creepy guy…

Still, Leon, with his unimpressive appearance, couldn’t shake off the resemblance to himself.

Seeing his gloomy appearance, the head butler wiped away a tear. Watching his precious young master, whom he had raised like a son for years, suffering from the fever of love, even his heart ached.

After closing the door with a lack of energy, he stood in the lobby of the mansion’s first floor.

Then, he opened his eyes anew, raised both hands into the air.

As his loud applause echoed through the mansion, the mansion’s servants gathered in the now-empty lobby, seemingly appearing from nowhere.

Unlike before, the head butler, with an eagle-eyed gaze, slowly examined their attire one by one and spoke.

“Today is the day of that decision. Do you understand?”

“Yes! Chief Butler!”

The response of dozens.

Then, he pulled out a burnt card from his chest and showed it to the servants like a trophy.

Following the card, an emotional wave ensued.

“Wow! That’s it!”

The contents of the card were:

At first, he hadn’t tried to urgently see the message that flew in from the Imperial Palace.

It was enough for the little master who took a sick leave for the first time in his life to hurry up and come back to work.

It was because he was so angry that precious Leon was suffering in a place with those annoying subordinates.

Just as he was about to throw the card into the fireplace without even reading it, a name caught his eye.

Lucia.

The seven-year-long unrequited love was coming to the mansion today.

Having saved the card as if protecting himself from being burned alive,

‘Unexpected events are more fiery. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content, Young Master Leon!’

For this reason, thoroughly keeping it a secret, he was preparing to welcome her along with cleaning the mansion.

The small comfort of a working person, the betted money, and faithful devotion.

So, this was almost a unity of three.

The entire universe seemed to be pushing them forward.

At that moment, Eldarian Kindergarten, Sparrow Class.

Emily distributed the prepared newsletter to the children.

“Spring concert?”

“Didn’t you know? It’s Ivan and Ara. Come, brother.”

The children, looking at the newsletter, showed various excited reactions.

The spring concert.
The event was a concert where, at the age when noble children had just started learning musical instruments, each child played their learned instrument to perform together. Since the instruments varied based on each household’s circumstances, parents’ hopes, and the children’s preferences, it was a challenging structure to teach in kindergarten. Therefore, the day of the announcement had been scheduled half a year ago, and today was the day.

However, among the excited children, there was a child with a bewildered expression on her face. That child was Nia. Having only tried makeshift instruments like leaves picked up from the street or a flute carved from wood in the orphanage, even the names of the instruments listed in the newsletter were unfamiliar to her.

“Okay, friends! Let’s each write down the instruments we can play at home!”

As the break time arrived,

“Nia, what instrument are you learning? Is Ivan also the queen of instruments, the violin?”

“What? You play the violin?”

Charles looked at Ivan with a highly skeptical expression. In response to his suspicious look, Ivan shouted, “What, what’s with the disbelief? I told you, I’m really good! Are you joking?”

At that blatant lie, Ivan thought he should quickly find the dusty violin at home.

“Hmm, unbelievable. Well, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I play the harp, an instrument higher than the queen’s. Huh. But what about Nia?”

Queen, gods. Listening to their conversation, Nia couldn’t muster the courage.

Is she drifting away from being an ordinary child?

Nia, still struggling to keep up, saw something placed in front of her awkward face.

It was a sparkling golden-patterned chocolate.

And it was placed by someone, one for each child, on their seats.

“Wow, what’s this?”

“I recognize this pattern. It’s chocolate from the Kingdom of Kilgis! My dad received it as a gift. It’s really delicious!”

The children who recognized the precious chocolate sighed in admiration.

And Evan, the owner of the gift, approached Princess Charlotte.
