As the teacher calmly admonished, a child yelled out.

“Hey!!!!!”

The loud voice of suppressed anger was enough to make the birds gathered in the small garden flee, and the protagonist was, of course, Ivanné.

“Listen, listen, listen. Doesn’t the child of a lowly person have any manners?!”

The sight was like an angry baby wild boar ready to rush out at any moment.

The teacher was taken aback by Ivanné’s language.

She turned her body to Ivanné and calmly admonished him.

“Ivanné. That’s a very bad word that degrades dignity. You shouldn’t say that to a friend.”

“Why? He’s the son of a lowly person, isn’t he a lowly child?”

It was the logical reasoning of a 5yearold child.

“Ah, no, that’s… that’s when you use it…”

Caught off guard by Ivanné’s logic, the experienced kindergarten teacher was at a loss for words.

“Hey. Lowly person. Apologize to Nia. Nia is a much better child than an uneducated child like you!”

“You…… this!”

As the teacher was flustered, it was Getherin who raised his hand towards Ivanné.

But who touched Getherin?

Thud.

The energetic little Ivanné of the continent grabbed that hand with his small hand.

A bewildered Getherin looked at his captured hand and swallowed.

“You, you made a mistake.”

Ivanné’s eyes changed for a moment.

That spirit did not succumb even to the genius pastry chef mother, the powerful Aunt Gilli, or the currently strongest knight Lucia.

Getherin felt cold sweat on his back as he thought something had gone wrong.

Whack!

Ivanné grabbed Getherin’s collar and hit his forehead in an instant.

“……Ah!!! Ah, aaaaaaah!!”

Along with a clean hit, the sharp cry of the child hit the middleaged teacher’s ears.

Since its establishment, the kindergarten had never had an incident or accident during an entrance ceremony.

In this chaotic admission ceremony, the teacher decided to take her longconsidered sabbatical this year.

‘Berle. So. Lucia’s child is coming to the entrance ceremony? Cesar is going with Commander Leon. Oh my, but maybe. Didn’t the vicecommander hear?’

Marien’s last word spurred Berle.

Berle shivered with his whole body, having been snubbed once again.

Vernon, Gilliana, His…… those bad guys.

The commander who had finished 5 years of training didn’t tell him there was a funeral, didn’t share that he was living with the commander,

and didn’t even tell him that the commander’s daughter was entering kindergarten.

‘That’s right. It’s all your fault. This time I’ll snub you.’
Certainly.

He was now sneaking in front of the academy’s affiliated kindergarten with nearly 100 members to congratulate the leader he respected on his child’s entrance ceremony.

If it were up to his imagination, he would have immediately lined up in a straight line, ready to salute ceremonially.

Through the honorable tall swords, Nia and Lucia.

Without a doubt, anyone who saw his confident steps amidst the great cheers would be envious.

In his mischievous mind, an image was drawn of balloons flying in front of the square, and a happy smile from the mother and daughter looking at him.

But as usual, if there’s a nutcase in the crowd, there are plenty of sane people.

Behind the crazy appearance of the deputy leader, the pupils of the forcibly brought members were trembling, and one brave person started running towards someone who could save the situation.

While the children went out to the garden to introduce themselves, the parents were listening about the list they had to write in the small notebook they received.

The notebook contained instructions for choosing class time, information on the child’s food allergies and diseases, medicines to be administered, etc.

There was quite a bit to write down.

Although it was not necessary to write down immediately, the young couples were all ears and focused.

Finally, away from the nowquiet group, Lucia was just yawning, briefly checking the list, thinking about passing it on to Vernon.

“Is your body okay?”

Leon, who approached while the parents were focused.

Earlier, thanks to him, she could avoid annoying attention, but now that he had come close and started talking, Lucia was embarrassed.

“What’s the reason you’re here?”

Leon asked out of concern for her recently injured body, but the cold woman was just thinking of driving him away before getting noisy.

“Ah, that. I have urgent business at our knight’s administrative office…”

Leon tried to remember and speak as naturally as possible the excuse Marien told him.

But looking at the woman he’d been secretly in love with for seven years was hard enough, let alone lying.

When he finally faced Lucia’s clear blue eyes headon, he couldn’t continue speaking, avoiding her eyes with a flushed face.

He was always affectionate and relaxed, but now he seemed so shy and immature.

If his followers saw this, they would grind their teeth in jealousy or grab their hearts and shed bloody tears.

‘He came here instead of the busy members…….’

Why does this guy live so annoyingly?

In fact, his meddling was something that had actually happened throughout the past.

He would insist on having a nice office, or send wizards unnecessarily to the Black Knight’s training ground, saying he must get used to dueling with knights.

In the end, even when he was in the mountains, he stuck his face in, saying he was managing retired knights.

Despite his loyalty to the country, he was just living a boring life, but why did he care so much about others?

But everyone knew that all of this was for Lucia’s next room, for a coincidental encounter, except for her who didn’t know it.

“Will you join me after the entrance ceremony? I really want to escort you this time.”

Her thoughts of that day’s endlessly warm leather came to mind.

It was a luxury item that had never been in Lucia’s life, who knew little about such things.

She hesitated a little at the thought of Nia, but she absolutely couldn’t do it with him because the attention that would be focused several times made her nervous.

“No.”

“…….”

At Lucia’s sharp response, he couldn’t continue speaking and just drooped his eyes.

His slightly drooping eyes, white skin, and thick eyelashes gave him the stretchedout appearance of a lifeless, pure deer.
That appearance made it feel as if I had become a hunter who had shot an arrow, so even the insensitive Lucia began to care.

And she eventually came to a conclusion.

‘…It seems that even paying so much attention is not enough. But it’s annoying if I accept it anymore.’

Poor Rion, who is treated like an attention seeker despite his pure appearance.

“Commander Rion. There will be no more riding the commander’s carriage in the future. And now you need to listen to the explanation, so will you please leave?”

Lucia gestured for him to stay away, keeping him in check.

“……Ah.”

Rion’s complexion worsened, shocked by her cold behavior.

It was he who had run to her, paying no attention to his mother, whom he had not met for years, due to Marien’s suggestion.

What they asked for was to lend Caesar, and to divert people’s attention so that Lucia wouldn’t feel burdened, and to wait until the surroundings were quiet before proposing an escort.

But did he miss the timing due to his hasty heart?

In the end, the regretful Rion swallowed the tears in his heart, comforting himself with the thought that he had done all he could do that day.
