Sicar, who had been looking at me suspiciously, scratched his cheek for a moment and reluctantly said.
“Make sure to behave well this time. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go out on your own.”
Does this person really not know that I can’t go out on my own even now?
With a smile as if to reassure him, I said I would do well. Of course, I was gritting my teeth.
Sicar was looking outside the carriage, as if uninterested.
If he reads my memory, he would know. He must want to see the result only.
There is a common denominator that can’t be missed for parents raising children. The next time I met Leydocks, I planned to attack that point. If I succeed, Sicar will never be able to say that again.
While I was lost in thought, the carriage had arrived in the city, and we had entered a famous boutique in the city center.
The employees who saw me were first looking at me with puzzled eyes wondering which lady I was? When Sicar entered, they opened their eyes wide and bowed their heads in greeting.
“Your, your Highness is here!”
As Sicar glanced at them, the employees quickly led us to our seats and started moving busily.
While the employees were preparing tea, a man who appeared to be the owner of the boutique walked forward with an ecstatic smile.
“Hello. I’m Barin Mahidel, the owner and designer of Mahidel Boutique.”
“First, bring clothes suitable for a sevenyearold boy.”
“Yes! Your Highness!”
The employees moved as swiftly as if they were in the military, and soon the clothes they brought were displayed in front of us in a long row. The clothes they brought all looked luxurious.
“Pack all those clothes and fill up 30 sets of new coats and furred robes, and send them to the Duke of Blake.”
“Tha, thank you. Your Highness!”
“Now bring out dresses suitable for my wife to wear.”
“I’ll prepare it immediately!”
The employees really brought out the clothes immediately. But because it was a dress, they stood it up on a mannequin.
Sicar looked at me as if doing a favor and said.
“Do you like any of them?”
He’s giving me the opportunity to choose. The more, the better for me. Especially since it’s not my money.
“I, I like them all.”
Sicar ordered them to pack all five, and while the employees were packing the clothes, I whispered to Sicar.
“I think it would be nice if you bought about 30 for me too.”
“You’ve already bought dozens of dresses for the winter at the ducal house, do you need 30 more?”
Sicar’s expression hardened.
Did I demand too much? Just 30 dresses and he’s that hardfaced, even though he has a lot of money?
Sicar sighed as if he couldn’t stop me, and said something that would make me furious.
“Do you want to look good to me that much? To the point of wanting to buy 30 more dresses that you can’t even wear?”
Huh?
Sicar let out a sigh without even looking at my flabbergasted expression, shaking his head.
“Your efforts to look good to me are admirable, but I’m not the type to be swayed by such things.”
There’s no medicine for delusion. This is a severe case, should we send Sicar to Lepher hospital instead?
Anyway, Sicar made such absurd remarks and ordered 30 more dresses.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]In the returning carriage, I asked Sicar something I hadn’t thought of in the confusion earlier.
“Sicar. I’ve never seen it in the novel, but has no one ever liked you?”
Is that why you’re mistaken now? That’s what I wanted to ask. As far as I knew, everyone in the novel was afraid of Sicar. There was no one who liked him.
So he must be mistaken like this just because I cried at the scene of his death.
“You seem to want to be the first, but unfortunately, you are not the first. There was a guy who really liked me.”
Was that so…?
“I see. I didn’t know because it didn’t appear in the novel. But it’s in the past tense…?”
“Because he has now become a star in the sky.”
What? Did Sicar have such a past?
Sicar spoke, looking out of the carriage with distant eyes as if recalling a dear memory.
“He was a fool who knew nothing but me. Just like you are now.”
Hey, it’s not that I don’t know anything but you, I just wish you weren’t here. What on earth is he seeing that makes him think I don’t know anything but him?
Regardless of the ridiculous expression I wore, Sicar continued, lost in nostalgia.
“There was not a single day when he did not follow me around. He couldn’t wag his little tail so excitedly every time he saw me.”
Huh?
“When I woke up in the morning, he was always licking my face, and before bed, he always tried to claim my side.”
I’ve been taken aback more than once since I came here because of that man, but today was really hitting a peak.
In the novel, Sicar said he hated humans because when trusted, they betray.
So the only ones he gives his heart to are animals.
Is that why he accepts my feelings for him without taking them badly?
So, because he sees me as a pet! Or does he see me as a pet human?
Despite my stupefied expression, Sicar again said something likely to stun me.
“You seem to regret not being the first.”
“Do I really look like I regret it?”
It’s clear that Sicar can’t read emotions even when he sees human expressions. He knows how to read human memories, but he can’t read emotions. Otherwise, there’s no way he could say that after seeing my expression!
“If you really want it, I can give you the last. If you live longer than our Happy.”
What is he talking about! I don’t need such a last!

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
