Chapter 68. Is there something Lus can hope?
The bet reward I can recall is at most gold coins level, but I never saved money on Lus.
Anyway the money I earned all entered as the Valfruga ducal house's property.
If something Lus can't buy I also can't buy.
Then Lus supported the sofa with his hand, and tilted his body toward me.
And folded the eye area in half and said.
“Date with me, older sister.”
“Date level...”
“Alone two with me.”
Lus intertwined his finger with my finger placed on the sofa.
“No maid, no knight. Let's play alone two with me, older sister.”
Slightly tilting his head and looking up at me Lus used an enormous technique.
“Meaning that day play only with Lus not other people. No?”
Even the third person speech that would curse come out if others do when Lus uses really cute to curse come out.
Coming to senses I had accepted Lus's proposal without knowing.
“Thank you, older sister.”
Really I seem too weak to Lus.
But asking that cutely with that face couldn't not pass.
Honestly seeing liking that much with date level I was also happy.
Turning the head Gerry was looking at the two of us with an astonished face.
Bewitched by Lus's face forgot even that someone is there.
I cleared my throat with an embarrassed heart and turned my head.
“Hmm hmm, shall we investigate the music box the rest?”* * *Gerry led his tired body and returned to the room the knight order stays.
Pondered all day how can open the music box, but no answer came out.
The time quite late, but the knights no one sleeping and waiting for Gerry.
“Hey! How was it seeing Madam closely?”
“Even seeing from afar that cute if seeing closely would be cuter!”
“No matter how beautiful other noble young ladies our Madam is better! Just seeing somehow the heart becomes peaceful.”
“Kuuu, envious. If knew would be like this I also would have looked into the method of picking doors!”
“Doesn't Madam select a personal escort? Then would support right away! Every time going to a ball or such guarding from behind!”
Among the knights Felia was a Madam too far to approach closely.
“Then would have to go around together with the Duke too. Escorting Madam would almost be the Duke.”
At the words someone threw the atmosphere of the excited knights instantly cooled coldly.
To the Valfruga knight order Lucius was an absolute object of fear.
“You remember that? The first going demonic beast subjugation with the Duke before becoming a knight.”
“How forget that? I really thought would die at that time. Suddenly throwing in front of a demonic beast three times bigger than me and saying survive alone for one hour.”
“What was next? Surviving for a week in the winter mountain where snow comes to the waist?”
“Not even giving one piece of jerky...”
“Still these days said gives flint.”
“What? Became enormously convenient! In our time not even giving that so rubbed wood and made fire!”
“I thought really like a devil first receiving Logan-nim's training, but changed thoughts seeing the Duke. Still Logan-nim let live.”
“No, the Duke also let live. Didn't get eaten by the demonic beast.”
“Hey, I felt the demonic beast's fang touching my arm!”
Someone threw words again.
“But did you guys see the Duke earlier. Smiled extremely brightly when Madam came.”
“Right. I thought seeing hallucinations because training too hard. Weren't all nobles political marriages?”
Most knights acting in the training ground had little chance to see Lucius together with Felia.
Even if occasionally meeting the distance far so not seen well, and there were also knights who settled in the Valfruga ducal castle not long.
Then, Gerry said with a pale face.
“Did you guys see the Duke speaking in third person?”
At Gerry's words the colleague knight wrinkled his face mercilessly.
“...
What nonsense is that?”
“Seeing Madam closely and lost mind with emotion?”
“...
I saw. The Duke... to Madam...”
Whether goosebumps rose just thinking Gerry wrapped his forearm with his hand and trembled.
“To Madam... play only with Lus...”
The colleague knights who heard Gerry's words jumped.
“Aish! What nonsense is that!”
“The scariest among the words heard this year!”
“Hey! Even lies do moderately!”
One knight watching that appearance opened his mouth with a bitter face. One of the knights who was in this castle from 5 years ago.
“No, if the Duke enough to do that and more...”
“Senior, is that really?”
“No, really the Duke says to Madam play with Lus in third person?”
The senior knight nodded with a face painful just recalling.
“Right. Third person doesn't use well these days but used after a long time.”
“Then before...”
“Before used better. Think only third person? Since don't know third person no way seen doridori either.”
“Doridori? What is that?”
The senior knight slowly turned his head left and right.
“Umm... while doing this turning the head. Before the Duke used frequently.”
“...
The Duke?”
“Since learned like this will give one advice that becomes blood and flesh to you.”
The senior knight seriously looked around the juniors once.
“Absolutely don't say words that can offend the Duke's mood in front of Madam. Like the Duke tormented, or scary. If saying such words can really see hell at night so prepare. And one more.”
He earnestly requested looking at the junior knights.
“If seeing Madam don't look more than 3 seconds, unconditionally lower eyes.”
At the senior knight's words Gerry's face became pale.
“Uh, what to do. I...”
“You surely...”
“Madam too lovely so without knowing...”
At that moment, the sound of knocking the door of the room the knights stay tok tok was heard.
The knights hardened like stones and checked each other's moods.
When the knights had no answer the door opened without waiting for an answer.
“Everyone not sleeping.”
At the appearance of the superior talking until just now the knights all started trembling.
Seeing the cold and seductive appearance as if carved from ice the appearance of acting cute to the wife imagination didn't go at all.
Rather more suited an emperor reigning above someone for life, or a demon in a story bewitching and killing people.
And this time that sacrifice would be themselves.
Between the swarming knights his gaze accurately headed toward Gerry.
“Sir Gerry.”
“Yes, yep!”
“There's special training so hold the sword and follow.”
No knight who doesn't know that words here is the sound of will diligently torment under the pretext of special training.
Behind Gerry following Lucius's back like a cow dragged to the slaughterhouse the knights mouthed ‘3 seconds’ and twitched.* * *Ending the training with Gerry and returning that night, Lucius dreamed.
The beast confined in the cage saw him and laughed.
“Long time no see.”
“If a dream dreaming anyway want to dream older sister's dream not a dream a thing like you comes out.”
“Don't act too cold. Anyway you and I are the same as one body.”
Lucius ignored the beast's words, and saw the white door placed in front of him.
One of the memory fragments forgotten.
Opening the door without hesitation, a situation of young Lucius hiding behind the door and eavesdropping someone's conversation.
Beyond the door past Felia said sharply.
“What did Lus do wrong to do that.”
“Then you think hitting a person isn't wrong?”
The blonde man who was together from when Felia first picked him up.
The person who later becomes the hero who repelled the Demon King, and the first Emperor.
“Heard your kids first picked a fight with Lus. Said teased saying orphan.”
“Can't endure even that one word and hit a person? This is why demonic beast.”
“What? What relation Lus being a demonic beast. Then can I also curse your parents a bit? If you endure I'll also consider a bit, Aios Auleiter.”
“What nonsense words...!”
“Can pass over that level?”
“If continuing insisting like that will exclude that Lucius you cherish from this Demon King subjugation. Trusting what of a demonic beast in subjugating the Demon King...”
“You really coming out like this, right? Then I'll also drop out.”
“What? Felia! Are you really crazy? Know what position this Demon King subjugation is. To us also the same as the final decisive battle putting all effort!”
Felia smiled and said to Aios.
“Think I don't know your thoughts? When this Demon King subjugation ends my power also won't be needed, then will say Lus is also a demonic beast so have to kill.”
“Your thoughts are also obvious. Trying to participate Lucius in the Demon King subjugation to hold the justification that this kid isn't the Demon King's side?”
“Yeah, know well.”
“Without your power the Demon King subjugation...”
“Can't. With what method will you catch the Demon King without my power? You're much weaker than me. Honestly if our Blackie doesn't freeze hard to even do one Demon King attack.”
Aios looked at Felia with a resentful face.
And spat curses small.
“Got it, got it! If just passing this matter will do!”
“Bring your kids and make apologize to Lus too.”
“Got it!”
Aios roughly opened the door.
And saw Lucius standing outside the door and frowned.
Aios who opened his mouth as if trying to say one word slightly looked back at Felia in the room.
At the appearance of Felia fierce crossing arms like a mother protecting the cub Aios flinched and passed Lucius as is.
“Lus, come here.”
At Felia's call Lucius obediently headed to her.
