Chapter 36. Until then Logan was busy thinking how to tease Felia.

And the moment Lucius's sword moved, five swords covered Logan at once.

It wasn't a distance that could reach him, but at the momentum the sword had Logan unconsciously retreated two steps.

Logan was so surprised he only stared blankly at Lus, and couldn't say anything.

“You... How on earth this...”

Even at Logan's reaction Lucius said with a calm face without any surprise or joy that ordinary children would show.

“This is how it's done. Got it.”

“...”

Logan was called a genius.

Even such Logan had never even imagined this realm.

“Ha! This is a bit fun.”

Logan twisted his lips and laughed.

“But still far, kid. Your sword has unnecessarily too strong killing intent. Then the opponent instinctively avoids your sword.”

Logan's sword moved slowly.

Naturally like the wind originally staying in that place, quietly like dew forming and falling on grass blades.

“Not unconditionally scattering energy, but have to be able to move as you want. And.”

Logan's sword pointed at Lucius's wrist and waist.

“The movement was too excessive. Useless actions only make the movement sluggish.”

Logan hung the sword on his shoulder and grinned.

“My training is a bit hard, are you prepared to follow?”

“Of course.”

Lucius thought of his only family.

If to protect her, if power is needed for that, the resolve was as much as he wanted.* * *Logan rested his chin and saw Lucius swinging the sword in the same posture already for three hours.

Not intended but anyway the first disciple.

If not concerned it would be a lie.

Honestly if calling Lucius a disciple he was excellent beyond words.

Genius talent, steady effort, even diligence without a word no matter what ordered.

But Logan was quite dissatisfied.‘Heard he's ten. Are kids of that age originally all like that?’ When he was ten he only thought how to skip class every day, shall I eat up the class time with the teacher's first love story today such thoughts.

The words Lucius says were one of ‘Yeah’, ‘Got it’, ‘Did all’ these three.‘Something I also want to chat friendly with that disciple, and play pranks and such...’ Seeing the face swinging the sword without expression couldn't easily talk.

Feeling that if talking for nothing he won't even answer and ignore.

In the end, Logan decided to talk using the relatively easy Felia as a topic.

“You, that, are you getting along well with your wife?”

Logan awkwardly opened the conversation.

“Yeah. But why are you interested in older sister?”

Because the topic is the topic fortunately there was no matter of being ignored right away.

Instead Lucius holding the sword guarded Logan with a chilly face.‘Anyway that guy how did the childhood pass for the killing intent to be that thick even as a young guy.’ The swordsmanship skill was still insufficient compared to Logan, but Lucius at such times even made Logan break into cold sweat.

“No, what. Originally if fighting with the wife and the heart is disturbed then sword training also doesn't go well. Interested a bit from the dimension of becoming a master, why.”

“...”

“Right, what. If getting along well that's fine. Occasionally give gifts and such. Even pretending not, all are happy when receiving gifts.”

The air was awkward.

Logan regretted talking for nothing and tried to end the conversation.

Then suddenly Lus opened his mouth.

“Happy when receiving gifts?”

“Of course. Where is a person who dislikes receiving gifts.”

Lucius thought carefully.

Occasionally the things father or mother throw like charity even receiving the mood wasn't good, but receiving the gifts Felia gives was really happy.

Of course as long as Felia gives, even if that is trash he would have received happily.

Then would Felia also receive the gifts he gives that happily?

Except swordsmanship he thought a bit of a foolish person, but taught something good for the first time in a while.

For several days only thoughts about the gift to give Felia filled Lucius's mind.‘What should I give for older sister to be happy?’ Felia likes sparkling gold coins, and likes jewels.

Likes thick soup with lots of meat and vegetables, and likes strongly brewed black tea.

Likes pens with soft writing feel, and likes pillows with lots of cotton fluffy.

Although not directly told by Felia, living together that level could be known.

When warm soup comes out emptying even the broth cleanly, when things like baked potatoes come out a lot of food remained on the plate.

Knowing so many things Felia likes but when actually trying to gift nothing quite satisfied the heart.‘I hope older sister receives and is happy.’ Originally gifting something to someone was this difficult a matter.

Lucius thoroughly wandered around the castle here and there.

Then, flowers that bloomed brightly meeting spring were visible.

The pink flowers blooming under the blue sky were pretty enough to catch Lucius's gaze for a moment.

Somehow Felia's hair blowing in the wind came to mind.

Come to think of it in books the people who received flowers all seemed happy.

Finally deciding the gift Lucius squatted in the flower bed, and carefully picked flowers so as not to damage the buds.

Discarding ones eaten by bugs or not liking the shape, seeing the bouquet made gathering only pretty flowers somehow felt proud.

Lucius held the bouquet and headed straight to the office.

Knocking the door, Felia's voice of ‘Come in’ was heard from inside.

Slightly sticking his head out through the slightly open door gap, Felia who met eyes smiled looking at him.

“Is there something, Lus?”

“Are you very busy now?”

“No! Not at all!”

Felia said firmly putting down the thick documents she was reading.

Felia always welcomed him gladly whenever he visited.

“I came because there's something I want to give older sister.”

“What?”

Felia stood up from the chair, and approached toward him.

Lucius held out the bouquet hidden behind his back.

“It's a gift.”

Felia was surprised as if completely not expecting, then soon smiled brightly.

“The flowers are so pretty. Thank you, Lus.”

Her pupils sparkled like stars.

She put her face on the bouquet and smelled the scent, and stroked the flowers as if touching something precious.

The moment seeing her happy appearance, it felt like warm water filling the empty bottle in the chest.

I wanted to see that face more.

I hoped older sister would be happier more.

Since good things are better the more, then wouldn't giving more flowers do?* * *“Older sister!”

At Lus's voice I who turned back was startled.

No, until morning it was fine but what is that appearance.

The appearance running the corridor was no different from a poop puppy.

The cute face was a mess with dirt stuck, and the clothes that were fine only in the morning were tattered.

Lus ran toward me who lost words seeing Lus's appearance smiling brightly.

Holding flowers so much that hard to hold in his hand that is.

Even without seeing directly I know the place those flowers were blooming would be in ruins.

“My goodness, Lus. What is this face.”

Wiping the dirt-stuck Lus's cheek and asking, Lus answered triumphantly.

“Because older sister seems to like flowers I picked a lot.”

Looking at me with sparkling eyes seemed exactly like seeing a puppy bringing a toy and asking for praise.

I first received the flowers Lus handed and expressed pure gratitude.

And carefully said so that Lus's heart who gifted thinking of me wouldn't be hurt.

“But Lus, from next time no need to pick this much. Have to protect nature.”

“Why?”

“...

Because nature is precious?”

Saying and seeing this world isn't even a problem of environmental pollution so picking some flowers and trees would be okay?

“Because there's nothing more precious than older sister in the world so it's okay.”

Lus answered as if the sun rises from the east.

“But older sister is happier with the amount received last time? Then from now on I'll do that.”

Then, a servant hurriedly approached from afar.

“Madam! A guest has come!”

“Guest?”

There seems no promised person...

Ah.‘Finally the one to come has come.’ I steeled my resolve and hugged the bouquet in my arms.* * *Going to the reception room a pair of man and woman welcomed me gladly.

Exactly the collateral of Valfruga, Lus's uncle and aunt.‘Since said relatives I thought they would resemble Lus a bit.’ Unlike Lus with dark black hair and red eyes, the two people had faded blonde and green eyes.

Both had neat and pretty appearances, but not comparable to the lovely Lus as if not human.

If not for Treon's certification an appearance hard to believe the same blood relatives.‘The man side is Blant, the woman side is Catherine.’ Among these the one I care more is the younger sister Catherine side.

Catherine Valfruga, the woman who now married the nearby Schutrim Viscount and became Catherine Schutrim was the most successful person in the contemporary Valfruga ducal house.

The reason was one.

Because the Schutrim Viscount house was the wealthiest among the noble houses in that vicinity including the Valfruga ducal house.

Near the Schutrim Viscount house there was a lake connecting to the sea, and the Lekalanda fish living in that lake was popular among the capital's nobles for its clean taste.

Thanks to that the Schutrim Viscount house could become the richest in this vicinity.‘Now we are the first!’ Military power or other things aside now at least money alone not envious of the Schutrim Viscount house.

Thinking of the gold coins piling up steadily even now and the gold coins that will pile up in the future when that side orders chicken we can grill Korean beef.

When I appeared, they stood up from their seats and welcomed excessively.
