However, a smile hung on the Second Prince’s lips. He didn’t seem particularly bothered, and Marquis Pigman felt relieved.
The puzzlement persisted, but…
“There’s someone I want to give a gift to, and I need your help with that.”
Rudvi’s voice was gentle. Marquis Pigman, unknowingly captivated, stared at him. The eyes, which looked nervous with their raised ends, softened, giving him a completely different impression.
Lost in his smile, Marquis Pigman belatedly understood what he had said and asked in surprise, “Are you talking about my belongings?”
“I’ll pay the price, so don’t worry. It won’t be like taking my belongings…”
“In that case, how about I introduce you to a suitable merchant?”
Buoyed by the prince’s gentle smile, Marquis Pigman suggested his own alternative. In fact, even if he paid the proper value, he was reluctant to part with each carefully collected item in the family’s collection.
“Oh… But if I do that, it will take a long time, and I already have something set aside, so I’ll have to decline. Is the Marquis refusing my request? Can I think of it that way?”
Marquis Pigman retorted sharply when he heard the prince’s tone, reminiscent of the past. Even if he was disgraced, people don’t change easily.
“No, not at all. Please take anything you want.”
Marquis Pigman quickly gave in.
“Well then, I’ll take them myself. Oh, Marquis, you weren’t going anywhere, were you?”
Rudvi spoke as if considering Marquis Pigman’s situation and quickly exited the reception room, as if signaling that he would give him privacy.
Alone, Marquis Pigman sighed. He wondered if it might be better to simply dispose of all the collectibles. That way, he might not sever ties with the Second Prince. Deep contemplation befell him.
As time passed, Marquis Pigman realized he couldn’t delay any longer.
“Father.”
Seeing his son with a tearful expression, Marquis Pigman could deduce that something very precious had been taken.
The proximity to the gathering place was evident from the faint fragrance of flowers.
Since the first gathering in the garden, it had become their regular meeting place every month. Occasionally, they would visit the mansion of a certain family, similar to a small gathering, but the official meeting place was here.
As the carriage came to a stop and Etienne approached the door to disembark, she noticed a hand extended towards her. While quietly contemplating the hand, as if indicating an offer for escort, the owner of the hand began to speak.
“Hurry up and get off. I’ve been waiting behind.”
Upon hearing Leharht’s laughter-infused words, Etienne finally realized that Fernand had been observing her all this time. Almost instinctively, she extended her hand.
After both alighted from the carriage, Etienne looked at Leharht.
“Why are you standing here?”
“Today, I’m specially welcoming the guests instead of Alex.”
As Leharht explained, Etienne looked around, trying to find Alex, the aide. However, he was nowhere to be seen.
“I see.”
“Shall we go then?”
Not only did Etienne not release the held hand, but she also looked at Leharht with a puzzled expression as he tried to enter together.
Considering him an adult two years ago, he seemed to have grown even more in the past two years. Almost to the point of wondering why adults grow even more.
“Why aren’t you letting go of my hand? And are we going in together?”
“I’m not letting go since I grabbed it, and I want to go in together because you’re the last one. Did you oversleep today? Lady Claire mentioned that.”
It seems that my parents, who waited for me, spoke to Leharht first.
“By chance……”
Etienne turned her reddened face as if trying to hide it. At that moment, Fernand stepped in front of them and said,
“Let go of her hand. Etienne is uncomfortable.”
“Huh? We came down holding hands comfortably. Did it look uncomfortable to you?”
“It’s uncomfortable now that we’ve gotten off the carriage.”
“Can you call yourself Etienne? It’s amusing how you act like you know everything.”
“It’s evident on Etienne’s face.”
As Fernand spoke while looking at Etienne’s face, Leharht also glanced at Etienne. When both men simultaneously looked at her face, Etienne made a truly uncomfortable expression.
It was not uncomfortable because her hand was held, but because both men were staring at her. Very. Extremely.
“Let’s just go in. Fernand.”
Although she meant that she didn’t want to bother with such things, Fernand’s expression changed. His eyebrows drooped, and he had a rejected puppy-like look, making her feel sorry.
Etienne tried to pull her hand away from Leharht. However, the tightly held hand did not let go. When Etienne looked up at Leharht, he said,
“If someone finds it uncomfortable for me to hold Etienne’s hand, it seems like it’s not Etienne. Shall we do it like this?”
Leharht held Fernand’s hand with his opposite hand.
“Let’s go in holding hands like this. Now, any complaints?”
Leharht shook both hands back and forth with a sunny smile.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
