She shook her head
.
“
I can't keep it
“
“
Then tell me how to do it again
“
“
But it will be different from Amy
“
Note by the English translator
:
Amy is the name of the fish
.
Adrien's gaze fell to the ground
.
She remembered a memory from his past
.
He was the first to ride a horse
Victory march in the Holy War
.
The intense dignity he carries can be felt even before seeing his good looks in someone's eyes
.
I vaguely thought that no one could hurt him
.
But the child I was seeing now was overwhelmed with sadness
.
So much so that just looking at him makes a person's heart hurt
.
“
But we can make a cemetery for them
“
When she spoke in a small voice, Boone was agitated, saying,
[
Baby girl, ten strawberries
!]
,
But I pretended I didn't hear it
.
Adrien looked up and stared at me, and I didn't avoid his eyes
.
***
“
I'll dig deeper
“
Adrien looked at the girl pointing at the ground while carefully holding Amy in one hand
.
“
How long will you dig?
.
Come here
“
The girl raised Adrien's hand, handing Amy back for him to hold
.
Then I squatted down and dug up the soil
.
Within minutes, a hole twice the size of what Adrian had made could be seen
.
“
Now it looks like a cemetery
“
She was a really strange kid
.
I dug like a farmer
.
The child had never seen anyone be kind to him
.
'
But
.’
But if she knew who I was, she would act differently
.
Everyone did it
.
The royal family, nobles, and even palace men considered it an eyesore
.
It hurts the eyes and was scary and annoying to touch
.
As the Emperor's eldest son, and having been constantly scrutinized by Empress Yvonne, Duke March's eldest daughter, Adrian felt uncomfortable.
.
He was physically alive even now, when he didn't even feel alive
.
So if you knew who he was, everything would be different
.
The gaze that looked at him with trash in it would be darkened with fear, and her pulsating eyes were dim
.
I felt sorry, but I thought
I should say it sooner
.
“
I am the eldest son of the imperial family
“
“
Is this true?
“
“
I said I was the son of the late Empress, but...
…”
“
So?
“
Adrien was speechless
.
strange
.
You should have been surprised
.
Even if you didn't know their complicated political relationships, it was natural to be afraid of the word imperial family
.
Adrien looked at her with strange eyes, and the little girl snorted
.
“
Does this matter now?
“
“…
huh?
“
“
If it doesn't matter, let's bury them
“
The little girl pulled his hand
.
Suddenly, Adrian sat down with the child, and let the pair of fish, who were completely back in the water, rush into the hole
.
The little girl patted the water instead of Adrien
.
“
Now, let's pray
“
Adrien stared at the little girl who closed her hands and eyes tightly
.
“
Please let's stay together for a long time in the next life
“
“…”
“
Even if we fight and get angry, let's be there for each other in the next life,
“
“…”
The little girl looked gently into Adrien's eyes
.
“
Let this child be happy
“
It was as if she was talking to him
.
He couldn't say anything and looked at the little girl
.
Adrien couldn't figure out why his eyes were so wet
.
Just to be clear, this was the first time he thought he'd never forget anyone's name
.
***
بعد دفن السمك والصلاة
.
I got up from my seat
.
“
Are you going?
“
Adrian took my hand and asked me, and I answered,
“
Yes
“
“…
Will you come again?
“
“
huh?
“
“…
Please come back again
“
His eyes were looking at me
.
“
Yes, okay
“
“
But if you don't come,
…”
Adrien's eyes flashed
.
His long eyelashes sparkled in the sun
.
'
Great
…’
It is indeed a beauty that can rival Doppeld
.
Although my aesthetic sense had become accustomed to many kinds of beauty, my heart was still beating
.
“
Now we are friends
.
A friend keeps his promises
.
So, see you someday
“
“
Friends
…”
I couldn't help but laugh internally seeing Adrien mumble a few times because he was so cute
.
Then I waved my hand to say goodbye, turned around and ran away
.
'
I'm late, very late
!’
I came here under the pretext of playing hide and seek, but half an hour has already passed
.
As I was heading to the park, I heard a voice shouting,
“
Where are you little miss?
!
The soldiers and servants were frantically searching for me
.
“
Blaine's here
!
I jumped and screamed, and people came running
.
“
My God
…”
Leah was relieved to see me
.
“
Where were you? I was so surprised that I couldn't find you no matter how hard I looked
“
The place I was at isn't far from the park, but if they can't find me, it's probably because Adrian built a barrier
.
I replied,
“
I'm wrong
…”
Leah sighed and brushed the dirt off my skirt
.
“
It's okay because you're safe
.
But please don't do this next time
“
“
Yes
“
“
We have permission to go
.
Now let's go home
“
When she said that, I nodded with a bright expression
.
[
Strawberry
!
Little Miss, ask her if she'll give you ten strawberries
.]
I looked at Leah
.
“
Leah, the ten strawberries?
“
“
That
…”
Leia's eyes narrowed
.
“
You broke your promise, so I'll only give you five
“
My God
.
As a shocked expression appeared on her face, laughter exploded around her
.
***
I could only have five strawberries, but I felt pretty good
.
The money stolen by Orso was returned to its original owners, but much of the money remained even after the delivery
.
'
There are 6,000 francs
.’
The reward for capturing Syria was 30,000 francs, meaning the total amount of money I currently had was 36,000 francs
.
'
Now, I have to keep looking for serious ways to make money so I can find a place to live later
.’
I knew some good things I could invest in
.
The problem was that I was too young to call an investment target
.
This was the reason I lived in poverty when I was a beggar
.
Of course, I had to live as quietly as possible because I didn't want to stand out, but I couldn't invest because of this
.
'
I need an adult to help me
.’
Ceria was also an option, but she had limitations because she was classified as a criminal now
.
She was still alive but had to stay in prison
.
I couldn't count on Bon for help
.
My divine strength was insufficient, so I wouldn't be able to maintain his form for the next five days
.
'
I need to decide when to use Bon's powers
.’
It's an ability I don't really need, but it's a shame not using it
.
While I was thinking about that, the carriage stopped
.
We arrived at Dobled Castle
.
As soon as the door opened, Henry and Isik approached me
.
“
Why did you come back so late?
“
When Isik approached and questioned me, Henry pushed him aside and hugged me
.
“
You've been having a hard time, haven't you?
“
Then Isik took me away and held my hand
.
“
I asked the chef to prepare your favorite meat
. “
Henry turned to the other side to argue with Isik while directing his question to me
.
“
Wouldn't eating late at night be harmful to your health? I think you'd prefer a simple meal on the balcony and a delicious breakfast tomorrow
“
“
It is unhealthy not to eat
“
“
The little girl is weak
.
Don't compare her to a monster like you
“
They tried to pry me away from each other's grip, as my eyes widened like saucers
.
“
Oh
…”
I groaned and was suddenly taken into the Duke's arms
.
“
Don't quarrel
“
When the Duke spoke sternly, Henry and Isaac looked at each other with indignant faces, but quickly answered
“
Yes
“
'
Oh, I'll be able to live after all
.’
It was difficult to be stuck in between because the journey was tiring
And I was working hard to keep Bon calm
.
I bent my face into the Duke's arms
.
I was so tired but I had to greet them
.
“
I'm back
“
Then the look of the Duke, Henry, and Isaac softened
.
“
Yes
“
"
Welcome
."
“
Let's go in
“
After being here for a few months, I really felt like I had come home
.
***
The next day, I got the strawberries Leah promised me for lunch
.
When I looked with sparkling eyes at the strawberries filled with whipped cream, Boone beamed, saying,
[
Good for you, my dear
.]
Leah handed me a bib and took some strawberries from the bowl
.
“…
Three, four, five
“
“
Leah, I like you
“
When I kissed Leah on the cheek as a token of gratitude, the maids screamed
.
“
Little Miss, I helped Leah apply the cream
“
Then Dahlia released her cheek
.
“
I picked strawberries too
“
Linda approached me
.
“
Do it for me too please
“
Uni tilted her head at me
.
I kissed them on the cheek once and picked up the fork again
.
[
I can get you some milk, too
.]
'
What?
'
[
I can also pick strawberries
.
Should I go out?
]
“…”
