After Sycar returned, we quickly regained our daily routine as if he had always been there. The only thing that had changed slightly was the relationship between Sycar and Kian. Certainly, on the first day, it seemed like the two had a standoff, but soon their relationship appeared to be harmonious again. ‘The relationship between these two is really unpredictable.’ Perhaps because today is Family Day, their relationship seemed even better. For example, during breakfast, Sycar meticulously cut Kian’s meat, and Kian awkwardly smiled while eating, showing signs of a slightly awkward smile exchanged between them, as if they were still getting used to each other. Today, being Family Day, we prepared something special. Of course, Sycar would probably be startled, but just as we wear party hats on birthdays, it seemed good to wear something like this on Family Day. It was a headband with cute rabbit ears. We had aspirations to become a harmonious family, not a lion family but a rabbit family, expressing our determination to spend Family Day in a cute and charming way. So, to ensure that Sycar could not refuse, we planned to play the rosemary game, just like in the past, and make Sycar wear the headband. However, an unexpected event occurred. To commemorate Family Day and enjoy a picnic in the garden, when we met, Sycar, who would never do such a thing, appeared first with the rabbit headband on his head. ‘Could it be that he went to the battlefield and injured his head?’ I looked at Kian with an expression of disbelief, but Kian, looking equally surprised, seemed awkward and embarrassed.
I looked at Kian as if I were too dumbfounded, but Kian, looking surprised himself, made an awkward and flustered expression. Why does Kian make such an awkward expression even when he’s surprised? Is it because it’s actually funny but he can’t laugh? More importantly, how does Sycar know about the existence of this headband and wear it? Only Kian and I know about the existence of this headband. Could it be Kian?

Looking at Kian with eyes that express my disbelief, Kian grinned and said, “The Duke kindly granted my request.”

Well, well. It seems that Kian asked in advance to relieve me of my trouble. Truly, he is considerate.

Sycar shrugged his shoulders, seeming indifferent. “It seems to be a trend to wear this headband on Family Day.”

“Does that mean you put it on with your own hands?”

“Of course, I wasn’t the only one who wore it.”

What in the world…

I could soon understand why Sycar said such a thing. Soon, in the living room, Duryon and Vika appeared with awkward faces.

Duryon awkwardly touched the rabbit ears attached to the headband, and Vika frowned with a chewing expression.

“I’ve lived for over 140 years, but it’s the first time I’ve worn such ear accessories. Why on earth should I wear something like this!”

Seeing Vika growling, it seemed like Sycar had no choice but to write because he was threatened again.

Duryon’s cheeks were a little redder, for some reason.

“I don’t think this suits me… Is it okay?”

Looking at him speaking, does he like it?

“Duryon, do you like the headband?”

“Yes, ma’am. I’ve never worn anything like this before, so it’s cute and I like it.”

Vika, with an absurd expression, pulled Duryon’s rabbit ears.

“If you like it, who cares. If people saw you, they’d think you were crazy and run away.”

“Did I become that cute…?”

Vika shook Duryon’s rabbit ears on both sides with an absurd expression.

“Do you hear that as a compliment? Huh? Do you not understand what I’m saying, thinking you’re not the Duke’s subordinate!”

Meanwhile, Kian had become quite proficient at dealing with the excited Vika.

Kian, calming her down, pushed her out and moved forward.

“Miss Vika, please calm down, and let’s enjoy our picnic now!”

We prepared for a picnic in the garden filled with the sounds of Duke’s recordings.

Duryon fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and Vika, who used to tease him by calling him a pig sleeping right away, also fell asleep in no time.

We intended to talk more about the unfinished stories today, but we couldn’t do that because both of them fell asleep.

Seeing Kian also dozing off, it seemed quite cool under the shade of the trees.

I planned to surprise Sycar later with a carnation as a gift, but not like this, where everyone is dozing off.

However, it’s okay to nap a little.
“Kian, if you’re very sleepy, how about closing your eyes for a moment? I’ll wake you up later, so just take a short nap.”

“Well then, Mother. I’ll close my eyes for a bit. Maybe because I had a long spirit lesson with Miss Vika yesterday, I feel like sleep is pouring over me.”

“Alright, do that.”

Perhaps thinking that Kian has grown up, Sycar no longer laid him on his lap when he wanted to sleep. But we should provide a pillow for his legs.

“Sycar, what are you doing? There’s no pillow.”

Only then did Sycar realize that he was telling Kian to use my legs as a pillow. He spread one of his legs and tapped his thigh. It meant to lie down with his head on my leg.
