“…And I can’t really remember any of them… . ”
“Wouldn’t he have gone back to his entourage when Duke Evendell was injured? Or a knight, or maybe…”
Tennon, pondering this, looked at Rashid . However, Rashid was calm and wouldn’t reveal his emotions that easily .
“Send a letter to the Duke right now . ”
“Okay, I’ll have him do that and deliver it to the Ducal House of Evendell . ”
“Peyton, what have you heard so far?”
Annoyed, Rashid, who was leaning his head against his desk, looked up .
“It’s hard to get to her there . ”
“Then where…”
Rashid picked up something that was on the table .
A small, pointed piece of wood .
Doubts, uncertainty, and an unknown desire for victory were mixed in Peyton’s master’s bloodshot eyes .
“The dukedom’s deepest, most remote area where one can enter and exit only by burying things like this . ”
*********************
“Yes!”
The baby swan’s eyes were a little teary .
I couldn’t resist and hug Haniel because she had slept well for once .
“Baby, are you up?”
Yes, this is it!
It would still be cozier even if I took dreamlike clouds from the sky and hugged them .
The best thing about Haniel after I decided to adopt her was that I didn’t have to hesitate anymore when I wanted to hug her .
As I closed my eyes and rubbed my cheeks violently against Haniel’s, Haniel burst into laughter, perhaps tickled .
“Mommy? Mom?”
“Of course!”
“Isn’t it ticklish?”
“No, Mommy . ”
I’ve always wanted to say this .
I endured the feeling of seeing her tears long enough .
Nonetheless, my thrill didn’t last long because of someone who was overly realistic .
“Madame, I shouldn’t say this, but it seems like you’ve only been having fun today . ”
“Then you shouldn’t have said it . ”
“Oh, I’ve been up all night thinking about it; I’m not sure I’m suitable for this . ”
The dark purple circles under Selene’s eyes came down to her chin, perhaps because she had stayed up the entire night .
Still, Haniel didn’t run away and was still attached to Selene, so Selene accepted that she was already on the same boat as me .
“Don’t give up as well I think Haniel’s already adjusted . ”
“……Mommy? Mommy!”
“Oh, my God . ”
“Madam, if you cry here, I’ll run away . ”
This is such a touching moment .
However, as Selene said, it was difficult for me, the mother, and Haniel, the daughter, to get through this harsh world together .
This meant that balance was also necessary .
“You know, Selene… . ”
“Just in case, please refrain from saying that the only person you can trust is a nanny and that I’ve delivered her out with all my heart . ”
“Anyway, isn’t it really amazing? Haniel didn’t say anything when I was a human being . But how do you recognize me?”
I carefully laid down Haniel, whom I was holding to regain my reason somehow .
If you’re too much of a babysitter, it could be too much for the nanny . Now, I had to consider everyone’s positions, not just mine .
Why? A good mother has to set an example for her baby!
“Haniel, tell me . How did you know I was your mom when I turned like this?”
“I can smell my mom!”
“Ah…”
Look at this! Look at the people of the lake, our Princess .
I took off everything and hugged Haniel again .
Did you hear this? You heard it! You heard it!
They were speechless and gasping at Selene, who now showed a grim face, saying, “There’s nothing more to be surprised about . ”
“There is no problem . I need to make plans for her future first . ”
“Kyak, kyak, kyak!”
“If you had a baby like this, wouldn’t you have no plans?”
“Well, that can’t be . ”
That said, Selene was about to peck my beak this time .
Now that I see it, she is more of a sister-in-law, not a nanny .
But what she said was wrong .
Raising a child only with love is absurd in any world . Isn’t Haniel a precious young lady who is the current princess and daughter of the late Emperor? I cannot neglect Haniel’s early education .
“…I’ll have to let her go to school first . ”
“School? You mean Lady Melloe’s school of etiquette?”
“Where else could it be? I’m torn, but I can’t help it . Though Lady Melloe is strict, no one is as cultured as her in the lake . ”
I didn’t like it, but I had no choice but to teach her what I didn’t know right away .
