“I summoned a Death Knight illusion to correct the twins’ habit, but they covered their eyes. Disappointing.”

“They covered because they were startled.”

“If I wanted them to be startled, I should have let them be startled.”

“One of the reasons Lucy fell for Kian is because he always protected her. When Kian sees Lucy, he instinctively wants to protect her. That’s why when he saw the graffiti on Lucy’s face before, Kian turned his back straight away, pretending not to know, worried that Lucy might feel embarrassed. That’s so cool, he must be the protagonist.”

“That’s cool just because of that? Truly cool would have been drawing a sword towards the Death Knight.”

“Of course, that’s cool too, but protecting in Kian’s way is also cool.”

“Only weaklings would hope someone to protect them.”

“She’s still young. Lucy becomes a very exceptional sword genius in the future, but she worries that if she’s startled by the Death Knight, her future might change.”

“If she’s that weak, she should step down from the heroine’s position.”

Could Sicar hate the twins because they’re the protagonists who kill him in the future? Or is it really because Kian is the descendant of the Blake family?

If it’s the latter, it means that Sicar thinks Kian is entirely a member of his family.

“Can I ask why you seem to hate the twins, Sicar?”

“A natural question. They dared to touch our family.”

This means he thinks of Kian not as a protagonist who is trying to kill him, but as a family member.

I felt a bit of excitement. Even if Sicar had not opened his heart, it seemed like he considered Kian a family member.

At first, he accepted Kian because he had no other choice, but now he thinks of him as a family member!

Thinking of it, I felt a little excited.

“I hope the twins’ habit has been corrected through today’s event.”

“We should only plant good memories in children, and you’re the one who planted this.”

“Hurtful? This is a strict hierarchical society. Even if they are children, they cannot overlook the offspring of the upper family. They should be relieved that the punishment for daring to touch my child, who is a duke, while they are the children of a viscount, is just such an illusion.”

Ah, right. This is a hierarchical society. But, you guys ignore such things.

Sicar, who believes in his power and underestimates the king, the knight Durion, who holds the nape of the viscount, and the hybrid Vica, who seems to keep manners but does not.

These three were people who didn’t care about kings or anything. Gillian had given up finding manners from them and only used them to get rid of them.

Even if the original was like this, I couldn’t just leave it like this.

“Didn’t you forget the promise to listen to me about Kian’s upbringing?”

“If you have something to say, don’t beat around the bush.”

“Leave the twins’ problem to me.”

“Do you mean to watch Kian get hurt again?”

“Leave that to me.”

“You want me to be a scarecrowlike father.”

“I just want you to focus on bringing up Kian well. Like, cherishing him and loving him. Like before, you can go fishing together, or play ball together.”

Sicar looked at me as if he couldn’t agree, then raised his hand over my head.

“Peaceful is not always right and good. However, I’ll respect your will to try to solve things peacefully.”

After saying that, Sicar turned his back and walked out of the hallway.

‘So, you’re saying, okay?’

I felt the corners of my mouth slowly rise.

The next day, when I asked Kian what he wanted to do, he said he wanted to go to the training room.

“Are you okay with the Death Knight coming out there?”

“It didn’t have any emotions, it was like an object. And objects can’t hurt me.”

So, that’s why Kian was calm enough to cover Lucy’s eyes.

“Did you have fun playing there?”

Kian nodded very strongly as if he was happy just thinking about it.

“It was the first time I’ve seen such a garden since I was born. I was always in the snowy mountains, and when I came down here, it was all snow… I knew that the grass was so green, but I’ve only seen it in fairy tales… Of course, it must all be magic…”

Kian spoke with an awkward face, but I felt sorry. He’s the protagonist who has everything, but he also grew up unable to enjoy things he should naturally enjoy.

“When summer comes, I have to let him play with the insects in a place where the lush grass is alive!”

As I was making this resolution, Sicar made a sound without knowing my feelings.

“How about real training for a change? They say it distinguishes between illusion and reality, I’m curious how much and to what extent it can differentiate.”

“No training today. Today, our three family members will only play happily with Kian.”

Sicar made a drained face, but he did not break his promise to me.

Since only our three family members decided to go into the training room, Bica was happy to rest. Durion was disappointed not to join us, but today was the day we decided to build sweet love among our three family members, so it couldn’t be helped.
