“I hope we can have such a teatime again next time. When I’m taking care of the twins, there are desperate times when I want to have a conversation with an adult.”
He didn’t have his wife by his side and his only friend was Jeremy, but he probably didn’t get along because Jeremy was a bachelor. Moreover, he wasn’t the type to have personal conversations with the servants at the Marquess’s house, so he was likely feeling isolated in his parenting. It was clear even without looking.
“May I ask questions if I have any?”
“Of course. Although it will be different from raising twins, feel free to ask.”
In fact, the children in our house themselves aren’t the problem. It’s a problem when they clash with Sicar.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Sicar and Kian is not unlike that of the twins.
“Then, I will take my leave for today.”
“Please take care on your way home.”
After bowing his head, Lord Radox, with one remaining hand, picked up Lloyd and went outside.
Lord Radox’s shoulders, carrying both children in his arms, looked very heavy.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Sicar was quite late today, perhaps because he had a lot to do.
So, for a change, Kian and I ended up having dinner alone, so I called Vica. Vica came out with an annoyed look on her face and sat next to Kian, saying,
“Madam. I have a little lack of table manners, is that okay?”
Vica smiled sarcastically, but I answered with a bright smile that came out habitually.
“It doesn’t matter.”
After all, the table manners Vica was talking about did not fall within modern manners, so I didn’t mind at all.
Vica sliced and ate the meat that came out, as if it was so tasteless she couldn’t eat it, but I know. That Vica’s favorite food is exactly meat.
She loved meat so much that she would wake up from sleep to eat it if it was meat. Beef, pork, chicken, there was no meat she wouldn’t eat.
Since Vica quickly finished her meal with a ferocious face unlike her elegant appearance, I quickly asked Vica what I was curious about before the food came out.
“Um, Lady Vica.”
“Yes.”
“How is your spirit class with Kian? Of course, I assume Kian is following well, but I’m curious if there’s anything else.”
Actually, I was curious if Vica would also praise Kian like Lord Radox did.
Really, even a tiny bit of praise, I wanted to hear it, so I was only looking at Vica’s mouth.
I had no idea what she would say, and my heart was pounding.
“Kian.”
With Vica’s first word, I swallowed my saliva and waited for the next word. But to my dismay, Vica just snorted and said.
“He has energy and potential, but no skills. In other words, he’s an idiot…”
Kian quickly stuffed a piece of bread into Vica’s mouth, causing her cheeks to puff up.
“Wha, wha… what are you doing! We’re having an adult conversation!”
Kian glared at Vica and put a glass of milk in front of her.
“I don’t mind when we’re alone, but I can’t accept you exposing my flaws in front of my mother.”
Kian’s eyes were sparkling. I could feel the protagonist’s aura from Kian again.
‘How cool. Lucy should have seen this. What a pity. What a pity.’
As if her throat was dry, Vica glared at Kian and drank the milk. Just as she always does when looking at Durion, she would likely be repeating words like ‘If it’s not Sicar, kill him’ in her mind.
As expected, Vica finished her dinner quickly and stood up first.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
