Chapter 128: Halfies (Luke’s POV)

“Felicia, the children are fine, so you can just let them do what they want . ”

“But Chris is naughty, so I don’t know what she’ll do . ”

Mark gently stopped Felicia, who tried to follow after Christine . Felicia and Christine are just like Lei and I, and are perfectly 10 years apart, no wait, 11 years apart . They were only acquaintances because I wasn’t interested in them, but now that I think about it, Christine is the perfect age to be Lei’s playmate .  

Like His Highness, I heard that she was a difficult child, but she doesn’t seem like a problematic child so far . But, Gill rebuked me even though I hadn’t done anything .

“Luke, you too . Lots of guards are with them, and I see the gardeners too . She’ll be fine . ”

“But, I’ll miss the chance to see Lei’s cute figure trying to get the oranges . ”

The oranges won’t fall like she wants them to, so she’ll be troubled on how to get them . So, I’ll be the gentle Onii-sama and say, “Nii-sama will help you . ” But Gill stopped me .

“And, you’re basically the master of this mansion . Entertain us . ”

“Entertain you guys?” I looked at Gill in amazed .

“When the pipsqueaks come back, they’ll definitely make a fuss about snacks . Let’s prepare some . ”

I looked around the room, and people were starting to prepare snacks lead by Natalie .  

“I couldn’t eat much at the party, so I want to sit down and eat something . The Albans’ chefs are famous,” Mark said, and everyone sat down . My attention was still on the greenhouse .

“Even so, Albans really dotes on his daughter,” Mark laughed .  

“He can’t help but love her because he has such a cute daughter . ”

“I think you’re at the most embarrassing age to say something like that . ”

“If I keep her at a distance because you said something like that, then she’ll grow up in no time at all,” I stressed to the laughing Mark . We’ve already been apart for more than half a year . I don’t want to waste any more time .  

“I wish my Okasama would notice that too . Chris has gotten so big already . ”

Felicia’s gentle face clouded over . We couldn’t say anything . Felicia was born to the Remingtons, and her eye colour matched with their House . Thus, they knew she had a lot of magic and was no longer worried about the next generation . It’s fine as long as she had enough magic to maintain the barrier like the current Remington head, Ange-sama .

But, Ange-sama gave birth to another child . The Four Marquises usually only had one child who inherited their eye colours no matter how many siblings are birthed . So, they didn’t care what eye colour the second child had . If a child with jade eyes had been born, then they might have struggled for succession .  

The second child’s eyes resembled her Otou-sama . Naturally, she should be loved without pressure from being heir . But, Ange-sama lost interest in Christine when she saw that she had inherited her eyes from her Otou-sama, so she was neglected and grew up selfishly .  

Ange-sama was similar to Otou-sama in that way . I love Otou-sama, but he wasn’t a perfect person . He had neglected Lei when she was younger and was okay with it . Recently, I understood that there might be something missing in him . But, like how I’m by Lei’s side, Felicia is by Christine’s side . This is important .  

We had different opinions, but this was the first time the children of the Four Marquises were gathered together . Surprisingly, we were able to chat without getting into any quarrels, and the children came running back .

“Nii-syama! Orange!”

Lei looks so cute carrying two large oranges with both hands while tottering this way . My bad, she’s walking properly .  

“One for Nii-syama . One for Otou-sama,” she said as she gave me an orange .  

“So, you don’t get one?” I asked, and His Highness Nicholas and Chris suddenly looked at the oranges in their hand . They didn’t think of their portion .  

“Nii-syama’s orange hawfiesh withh Lei . We geth awong weww . ” (Nii-sama’s orange halfies with Lei . We get along well . )

“Halfies with Lei . That sounds nice . ”

“Otou-syama’s orange hawfiesh with Lei . ”

“That’s…”

So, only Lei will eat a whole big plump orange . It seems like something the gluttony Lei would think of . A cute way of thinking .  

“Lei, that’s a good idea . ”

“It’s brilliant . ”

Prince Nico and Chris were impressed . But, the other side of the room was looking down and holding their stomach . It looked excruciating . Lei puffed out her chest .

“Of courshe! Lei picwed ith!”

“No, you just picked them off the ground…” Prince Nico immediately said, but Lei cut him off, “I cheered!”

I see I can picture how they got the oranges now . It’s a rare fruit, but it can be grown anywhere in a greenhouse, and it’s even sold in town . Everyone probably ate it in their houses a lot, but one picked by oneself might be exceptional .  

“I’ll eat the orange with Otou-sama later . Come, Natalie prepared some sweets . ”

“Sweethsh! Nico! Chrish!”

Lei’s attitude changed, and she invited Prince Nico and Chris to sit down .

“Say, Luke . ”

“What is it, Felicia?”

“Lei is Prince Nico’s playmate, but I wonder how it really is,” Felicia said as she watched the three children eat and talk .  

“They study together in the morning, have lunch separately, and play together in the afternoon . She goes to the castle happily every day . ”

“So, they’re actually studying hard . ”

So that’s what you were worried about .  

“Gill and I visit the castle once a week to teach them . ”

“I heard about that, but you’re teaching them? What’re you teaching them?”

“Magic circulation . ”

I can probably tell her this .

“I see . Magic circulation . ”

She seemed nervous .

“The Albans aren’t people who suck up to the royal family . Rather, they keep their distance from them . ”

Oh, a sensitive subject has been brought up . I don’t want to be caught up in the expectations of adults .

“The only House that wants to get close to the royal family is the Remingtons,” Mark casually said so that the children wouldn’t hear him . If Otou-sama was here, he would probably say, “Why are the Remingtons trying to get close to the royal family? It’ll only be annoying . ”

“Okasama is panicking a little because the Albans offered their daughter as the Prince’s playmate even though they don’t want to get close to the royal family . ”

“We didn’t offer her . We didn’t want to . The only reason we let her be his playmate is that she would have more fun there, than being by herself in this mansion . ” I corrected her quietly .  

“That’s just it . I wonder if Okasama is pushing Chris to be Prince Nico’s playmate because she’s panicking . ”

Mark, Gill and I looked at Felicia in surprise . Ange-sama aside, we didn’t think Felicia would say that since she didn’t seem to have any ambitions .
