After returning to the duke’s residence, Sicar ordered Duryon to reinforce the soldiers, and he told Vika that she didn’t need to play with spirits for a while. The spirit play for Kian could wait until after he left. Sicar thought it was more urgent to restore the gloomy daily life of Yura and Kian before he left.

Since returning from the snow mountain, Yura and Kian had spent the whole day sighing or slumping their shoulders. So Sicar instructed Andrea to make sure the maids learned how to make milk tea that Yura enjoyed drinking.

To Vika, he threatened that if she didn’t listen to Yura, he would never break the alliance. Reinforcing the soldiers to strengthen the security of the duke’s residence and making efforts to have a peaceful time for the three family members, Sicar couldn’t completely dispel the heavy atmosphere.

In the end, two days before the departure, Sicar sent a letter to Laidox to refresh the minds of the two mothers and received a visit from Laidox, who brought the twins straight to the duke’s residence.

As expected by Sicar, the gloomy atmosphere from yesterday improved considerably thanks to the sudden intrusion of the twins into the house.

Yura, who was grateful to Sicar for doing something she hadn’t thought of, welcomed Laidox, who brought the duke back warmly.

“Welcome. Marquess. It feels like it’s been a long time.”

“Nice to see you again, Duchess.”

Sicar, still with crossed arms, stared at Laidox and said, “Come on…”

He tried to say “come on in,” but no one could hear Sicar’s next words because they were buried in the wind thanks to the twins.

“Wow! Hello, Duchess! Did you see the Death Knight too?! I heard you were surprised, and Kian covered your eyes. Is that true?”

“Luid! What are you doing without manners?”

Although Lucy pulled Luid’s collar, Luid, who felt deep empathy that the duchess, as well as he, was surprised to see the Death Knight, did not hear Lucy’s words. Luid was only happy that the duchess, like him, was scared.

That way, there was no reason why it wasn’t strange for me, a child, to be scared while the adults were surprised.

Luid waited for Yura’s answer, seemingly asking her to be glad, and Yura did not disappoint Luid.

“That’s right. I was really scared then.”

“Wow! That’s right! You see, Kian? Even adults are scared of that.”

Kian looked at Luid as if to ask what he meant, but without replying, he smiled awkwardly and politely greeted Laidox.

“Welcome. Master. It’s been a long time.”

“Yeah. It’s been a while. Kian seems to have become more polite since I last saw him.”

Kian smiled vaguely, and Luid turned his head with a sulky face, not responding.
Sicar felt utterly distracted because of the twins and briefly thought about sending them away immediately. However, looking at Yura and Kian, who were smiling brightly unlike yesterday, he thought it was a good idea to call Laidox.

However, staying with these restless twins might eventually drive him to send them away. So, after calling Vika to send Kian and the twins to the playroom, the three of them had tea time.

“Ah, I feel alive now.”

“It’s always chaotic when you’re with kids.”

Sicar glanced at Laidox as if saying something nonsensical and spoke, “Noble children at the age of seven are probably like that because of their parents.”

Laidox seemed to ignore Sicar’s words and thought for a while, then addressed Yura, “Um, but there’s something I’m curious about, Duchess.”

“Please tell me.”

“I wonder if the Duchess’s hometown can be known?”

‘Jermdo asked the same, why do they keep asking about my hometown?’

Of course, it was natural to be curious, but Yura couldn’t understand why they kept asking about her hometown. She had thought about what they might know, but there was no way they could know that she came from a completely different world.

Fortunately, before Yura could respond, Sicar scolded Laidox.

“Do you dare to question my wife’s origin? Jermdo did the same. Both of you are asking extremely inappropriate questions.”

Although Sicar answered very unpleasantly, Laidox calmly spoke.

“Asking about the origin is impolite. I just asked because I was curious about the Duchess’s hometown. If it’s impolite, I wouldn’t have asked. I apologize.”

“You should have known it was impolite. Well, madam. We have something to discuss with the Marquess, so would you please make room?”

After whispering to Sicar to warn Laidox not to make any mistakes, Yura stepped aside.

When Yura made room, Sicar directly told Laidox.

“I found the Marshal who served the late king.”

Laidox showed a slightly surprised expression but quickly understood and nodded.

“I see.”

“So, I need to vacate the duke’s residence for a while, so I’m entrusting Kian and my wife to you.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, the Marquess replied, “I will do my best.”

“If it’s you, I can trust you. Please take care of Kian and my wife, who will be the lord and lady of this kingdom in the future.”
