Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Chapter 29.‘The newly bought carriage, the best.’ Unlike the previous carriage that was narrow and jolting, the newly bought carriage was large and good enough to even change clothes inside.

Unlike the previous carriage pulled by one horse, as many as six horses pulled the carriage, and on the imposing body's exterior, a luxurious carriage with Valfruga's crest drawn using jewels as dye.‘It was good not stopping when the butler said to buy a carriage at first.’ Before receiving a formal invitation by requesting the Roslun Count house, Treon pondered for a long time then asked if he could give time for one week.

Saying the originally used carriage is too shabby and doesn't match Valfruga's dignity, that he has to buy a new carriage.

Treon was negative about me heading directly to the Roslun Count house until the end.‘If Madam goes directly, it will be very hard.’‘Why?’‘Madam's status...’‘What's wrong with the status?’‘The Roslun Count house has deep history so, even that wife doesn't even deal with unless an orthodox noble. Doesn't even mix words with nobles who newly received titles...’‘Valfruga's history is longer.’‘That...’ Treon omitted the latter words, but I seemed to know the words he was going to say.

That I'm a rootless commoner orphan...

So is that why Treon bought even such a flashy carriage?

So as not to be ignored when going?‘I'll know when going.’ Rather than worrying in advance, it was better to think other things.

Like thinking of the carriage with excellent exterior and excellent ride comfort.‘If motion sickness lessens, that's enough. Right, good that money was spent! The best! The best!’ I was prepared to faint for a few days, but riding this carriage, motion sickness reduced by half.

“Older sister, what are you thinking?”

Lus sitting next to me asked.

This trip Lus was also together.

One week going, one week coming.

At the words of not seeing for at least 2 weeks, Lus clung saying take me too with a face that seemed about to cry right away.‘What. Think of it as traveling together this time. Lus also said he never went outside the territory even once.’ Since travel is good for the child's emotional development.

“Thinking the newly bought carriage is good. But Lus, isn't it uncomfortable sitting next to? The front seat is wider.”

“I want to be with older sister.”

Lus hugged my waist and looked up at me.

“Perhaps uncomfortable...?”

When I shook my head with all my might, Lus hugged me even tighter.

No motion sickness either, and nothing to play with like a mobile phone so I tickled Blackie sitting on my knee with my finger.[M-Master. It tickles.]

Blackie appealed to me in an emotionless voice as if AI speaking.

Unlike the voice, the short four legs wriggling seemed really ticklish.

Lus looked closely at Blackie and said.

“Older sister seems to really like that lizard.”

Come to think of it, Lus doesn't even know that Blackie is a spirit beast.

What can recognize a spirit beast is only the same spirit beast.

When in the mansion Blackie almost stayed in my room, and these days busy with the hair loss medicine business so couldn't see well?

Lus seemed to have a lot of interest in Blackie.

“Is it amazing?”

“...

Yeah.”

As expected around Lus's age is the age most interested in pets.

“Want to touch?”

“Is it okay?”

“Um...”

I pondered for a moment.[Master...]

Blackie called me pitifully.

Lus looked at me with sparkling eyes.

“Right! Since it's Lus, I'll specially let you touch!”

Sorry, Blackie.

But our kid wants to touch.

Our Blackie is a mature adult spirit beast, right?

When holding out Blackie to Lus, Blackie completely gave up and drooped.

Lus roughly stroked Blackie's head with his hand.

“Uh uh, Lus. Doing like that hurts Blackie.”

“Hurts?”

“Right. Blackie is also a living life. Because it hurts, have to stroke gently, like this.”

I overlapped hands with Lus and carefully stroked Blackie's head.

“How is it?”

“...

The texture is strange. Cold, and hard.”

Looking down with a strange face was a really indescribable face.

At Lus's expression seen for the first time, I needlessly laughed.

“Older sister.”

“Yes?”

“...

Still am I cuter than the lizard?”

Lus looked up at me holding Blackie in his hand.

The tightly dried lips showed that Lus was tense.

I smiled brightly and said.

“Right! Our Lus is the cutest in the world!”

I stroked Lus's round head.

No matter what anyone says, our Lus has the face the author officially the most handsome in the world.

Right now still young so even the cutest and prettiest in the world.

People who haven't seen our Lus yet don't know the greatest joy in the world.

Such a face smiled brightly looking at me.

“Really?”

“Yeah!”

Lus wiggled his fingers and whispered to me.

“To me also older sister is the prettiest.”

Uuu, cute thing.

I couldn't endure anymore and tightly hugged Lus.

Then, the maid Bella entered inside the carriage.

“Madam. A matter that you have to see for a moment has arisen.”

“Yes? Got it.”

I patted Lus's back and soothed.

And put Blackie down on the chair, and came out of the carriage.* * *Tap.

Felia went out and the carriage door closed.

Inside the carriage there were only Blackie and Lucius two.

Lucius without hesitation flipped Blackie's belly.

And looked closely at the belly and said.

“...

It's a male.”[...]

Shameful.

In the over a thousand years of spirit beast life, there was no moment this shameful.

Never thought this appearance shameful even once, but right now it seemed tears would come from unfairness why had to be sealed.

Blackie drooped his limbs as if dead completely giving up.

But at the continuing words of Lucius, Blackie desperately wriggled his legs.

“Do lizards also get neutered?”[Master...! Please save me!]

Blackie desperately wriggled, and flapped his small wings.

Whether interest dropped, when Lucius put Blackie down on the chair, Blackie ran away in a hurry distancing from Lucius.

“Don't stick too much to older sister.”

Not even able to look toward Lucius, Lucius warned with a serious face.

“I'm saying I'm jealous. Older sister is mine...”

Unable to finish the words, Lucius's cheeks heated red.

Older sister is mine.

The heart beat thump thump, and the palm felt itchy for nothing.

At the same time it seemed like committing a very big sin.

Lucius closed his eyes and shook his head boing boing.

“Anyway. Even so older sister said I'm the cutest.”

Lucius tapped Blackie's head with his finger.

“If you take older sister, I'll boil you in a pot.”

For a moment, Blackie felt a strange sense of incongruity.

It's just words a human child said, why does it feel this threatening?

I am a spirit beast.

Even if an ordinary human attacks, not even one scratch arises, and even thrown into boiling water I don't feel the heat.

But why?

At the cool energy flowing down the spine, the moment I turned my head and looked at Lucius, Lucius's shadow wavered anxiously and something revealed its appearance.

A beast with black fur and red eyes.

It was in a state of shrinking as if forcibly stuffing the body into a narrow space, but the momentum was fierce.

Blackie stepped back unconsciously.‘What is that?’ Before Blackie could look at it closely, it melted into the shadow like a mirage and disappeared.

The owner of the shadow didn't notice what happened in his own shadow, and just looked only at the door where Felia disappeared like a dog waiting for its master.* * *Because a nearby bridge collapsed, we decided to head to the Count house by another road instead of the originally going road.

Discussing about the changed schedule and entering the carriage, Lus hugged me tightly.

“Older sister!”

Unlike Lus greeting me, Blackie was stuck on the chair with a gloomy air.

“Did something happen with Blackie?”

“Umm. No, nothing!”

“Um... Blackie, did something happen?”

Putting on the palm and matching eyes and asking, Blackie glanced at Lus once, and carefully opened his mouth.[...

I'll tell later.]

Only when arriving at the inn and becoming alone two, Blackie opened his mouth.

“Something strange?”[...

I hope you don't doubt the intention of the words I say.]

Blackie saying to this extent made me more anxious.

I tried hard to ask playfully to loosen the stiff atmosphere.

“What on earth is it to be like that? You doing so makes it scarier.”[A beast lives in the Duke's shadow. A beast with black fur and red pupils.]

At Lus's story, I erased the playful air and asked seriously.

“Tell more in detail. What does that mean?”

Blackie explained in detail what he saw in the shadow when left alone with Lus.[It looked like a large dog... but I can't be sure. Because only the face was barely visible.]

Whether recalling that time, Blackie shook his tail anxiously.

It was a story never seen even once in the original.

In the original the male lead was just a capable and handsome northern Duke, no hidden identity or such came out.

“What do you think?”[I don't know.]

“Um...” [But the feeling wasn't good. Master, that kid is dangerous.]

Blackie asserted.[Different from ordinary humans.]

“In what point?”[I can know instinctively. A human who emits momentum to the extent a spirit beast gets scared can't be a normal human.]

“That's because male lead...” [Yes?]

“No, nothing.”

Because male lead, isn't it that got scared?

Even in the original, with one gaze of the male lead everyone trembled.

Even in the original, descriptions like not seeming human, seeming to kill a person with only gaze came out a lot.

Blackie doesn't know that this is a world inside a novel so it can be scary.

Still in the original only lived happily meeting the female lead.[I think there's no good in Master getting close. How about distancing even now?]

“...”
