Sicar was not angry because Kian got hurt, but because someone touched the son of the Blake Ducal family, which I knew well.

Blake himself was Sicar’s pride and honor. Now, Sicar thought Yukanadar had touched his honor.

“Sicar. It’s going according to the original. That’s not bad.”

“Back then, he might have thought Kian was an orphan with nowhere to go, but now the situation is different. If Yukanadar’s kids look down on Kian, it’s no different from looking down on our family.”

“They are still kids. You know well how mischievous the twins are. Leave them alone to become friends. And those kids still don’t know much about the family.”

“Well, compared to them, Kian is too mature.”

For a moment, I felt happy to see a dad’s fool.

“It would be better to entrust the children’s matters to the Raydoks. We just need to play well with Kian.”

Sicar didn’t give much of a response, just drank his tea. Well, silence is consent. This much should have made Sicar understand.

Thinking so was a complete mistake, as Sicar ended up visiting Yukanadar the next day.

Seeing the expression of Raydoks who greeted us, it seemed like he knew we would come.

Because he said this as soon as he saw us.

“I was prepared, but I didn’t know you would rush in as soon as the morning sun rose.”

Perhaps because he knew Sicar’s nature well, he seemed to have guessed it already.

“I barely refrained from coming last night because my wife stopped me.”

“Anyway, thank you for your hard work coming here. You might have skipped breakfast to come here, do you want to eat first?”

“No. Let’s shake hands first.”

Raydoks should have refused that handshake. Probably, Raydoks was the only fool who would take the hand of a Sitarr tribe member with a face that seemed to gush blood from his forehead.

As soon as Raydoks accepted his handshake, Sicar twisted his wrist slightly.

“Do you know that the twins scratched Kian’s hand yesterday?”

Raydoks also twisted his bent hand the other way to avoid falling. But no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t beat the power of the Sitarr tribe that was almost trolllike.

“It wasn’t intentional. I’ve apologized to Kian enough.”

“Do the wounds disappear with an apology? How are you educating your children?”

“Normal kids often grow up like that.”

Sicar slightly gritted his teeth and twisted Raydoks’ wrist again.

“Don’t you think you’re doing a bad job with education?”

Raydoks twisted his wrist again.

“There’s no problem with my education.”

“Your kids seem to have a lot of anger, have you considered getting psychological treatment?”

“Kids usually cry, fuss and grow up.”

“Over and over, our Kian doesn’t.”

“Comparing a special case to a normal case and saying normalcy is abnormal is a wrong thought.”

“So, are you going to let the kids fight like a fight chicken every day?”

“Don’t you know that kids naturally grow up fighting?”

‘Sigh. This is not going to end.’

I felt the urge to intervene between the two. So, getting between them, I wasn’t able to grab Leydocks’s hand, but I pulled Sicar’s.

“Stop it. Sicar.”

Sicar finally seemed to reluctantly let go of his hand.

“Sicar. We shouldn’t interfere in this.”

“Did you hear that? Even the Duchess tells you not to interfere.”

“My wife is tenderhearted. Don’t attempt to rationalize your children’s immature behavior by involving my sensitive wife.”

“You should first recognize that all children are troublemakers and immature.”

I extended my hands to both sides, increasing the distance between the two men.

“Stop! Didn’t I tell you to stop? This is turning into a serious adult fight. So stop it. And, Sicar, we asked the Count to take good care of Kian, so we should just trust him.”

“We need to be able to trust to entrust.”

“Then take him back.”

“That’s an irresponsible thing to say.”

“Mr. Leydocks, just a moment, please. Could you give us some room to talk?”

Leydocks left the reception room without much response. I walked up to Sicar, who had been staring hard at Leydocks’s retreating figure, and spoke firmly.

“You’re behaving like a hysterical parent right now.”

“It’s because I prioritize my family.”

“We better ask the children directly or find another way. I don’t think talking to the Count now will help.”

“You’re saying that because you don’t know the situation.”

“I don’t know the situation…?”

“The brat, Lloyd, he says he doesn’t like our Blake child.”

“What does that mean……”

But after thinking about it for a moment, Sicar’s words weren’t strange at all. If I consider what the Blake family has done to Yukarnadar so far, it’s no wonder that Lloyd wouldn’t like the son of this house.

No, it would be even stranger if they got along quickly considering his personality.

Then, a good idea came to mind.

“Then, why don’t we ask the children to get along with Kian ourselves?”

“How exactly?”

“I’m talking about the training room. I heard that they added more facilities last time they called Mr. Jermi. How about asking him to make the room a place where the children can have fun? And then invite the children to change their perception of our duchy. Show them that this place is full of childhood innocence.”

“Do you suggest turning the training room into a children’s playground?”

“If the children get along well, that’s good.”

“They’re still going to fight. It would be better to teach Kian to hit first, not just to be hit.”

“What? You don’t teach children like that.”

I wasn’t sure if Sicar was ignoring my words, but after a moment of thought, he said with a satisfied smile.

“Come to think of it, that seems like a good idea. Let’s invite the children immediately.”

The way he said it made me uneasy. It felt like there was some hidden scheme.

And that uneasiness soon became reality.
