Chapter 196: 196
The next week when I went to the castle, three boys were lined up in front of me .
It was Prince Nico, Prince Albert, and Prince Lambert . Nico and Prince Al were looking at me with their arms folded and Lam-ojisama was only standing there looking at me in amusement . It was hot and humid even though it was spring .
“Lei, it’s about the night before your day off,” Nico spoke heavily . I expected this .
I went to the northern fief with Prince Al and Prince Nico, and the incident where I fell down a hole also happened in the north, and Nii-sama and I used our barriers to communicate with each other .
It was an emergency, so nothing was said to me at that time, and I don’t think anything was said to Nii-sama either .
But I think those who have magic, more or less felt something . They might have thought that it was something unique to the north . But if the same ‘something’ was felt in the royal capital as well, then it was caused by someone who was also with them in the north .
And that someone, in other words, was, “Lei, it’s you . ”
Prince Al, your eyes are sharp . That’s not the way you look at a baby . I shook my head .
It could have been Nii-sama or Gill . In fact, it was Gill who said he was going to make a barrier .
“Whath wash?” I answered, I lifted my palms up and showed him . Otou-sama does this often .
“Guh . Alabans . Kuku . ” Lam-ojisama was holding back his laughter . He was being rude, but does this mean I look like Otou-sama? Then, that’s good .
“You really make people angry . ”
I hardly did anything to be angry about on our trip to the north . It was Prince Albert who got angry on his own .
“Lei ignore Uncle . Can’t you tell me?”
Nico looked at me sadly . This isn’t fair . It wasn’t fair for adults to be questioning a two year old either . I screamed, “Ashw Giww and Nii-syama . Lei doeshn’th wnow . ” (Ask Gill and Nii-sama . Lei doesn’t know)
Dammit . This made it sound like Nii-sama and Gill did something . Well, they did . I’ll leave the rest to them .
“Now . Nico, ith’sh thime tho shthudy . ”
“Okay . ”
I grabbed Nico’s hand and ran towards the library . I heard a small voice behind me .
“You’re not walking fast at all . ”
Prince Al is really rude . You can’t grow up in just a month or two, now can you?
Nico looked at me seriously when we reached the top of the stairs .
“Uncle only noticed the time in the north . But I think I’ve felt it three times now . Didn’t the same thing happen on Purgatory Island?”
“Nico, thath’s…”
Nico noticed that I had made a barrier back then, probably because he had been next to me .

“Ith’sh hard tho expwain . Ashw Nii-syama . ”
“You’re not keeping it a secret from only me, right?”
I patted Nico’s head with my other hand .
“I’m noth . You’re my friend . ”
“That’s right!”
Nico tugged my hand as his face brightened . The truth is even friends can keep things from each other . But I won’t be ambiguous about it anymore if even Prince Al or Prince Lambert can sense it .
“I’wm wefting ith tho Giww and Nii-syama . ” (I’m leaving it to Gill and Nii-sama . ”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothhing . Leth’sh go!”
“Okay!”
We managed to trick Odds-sensei and reduced our studying time .
I thought about leaving the matter to Gill and Nii-sama, but apparently that wasn’t enough . The Four Marquises can only be away from the capital for barely 10 days since they had to maintain the barrier . Using those ten days, Gill’s Otou-sama went to Farland last week . Otou-sama was also called away under the guise of receiving Stan’s report, and was asked about the barrier which took place last week .

That was the day before this week’s holiday, or in other words, today, exactly one week after we had carelessly caused a barrier reaction .
Because of that, Nii-sama and Gill were called away in the middle of Nii-sama’s class, so it was boring .
“You’re complaining, but didn’t you have fun playing with Chris, Felicia and Mark? You even had a nap half-way through . ”
“I washn’th compwaining . You awsho pwayed Nico . ” (I wasn’t complaining . You also played Nico . )
“Isn’t it fine since you had fun? Older people have their own circumstances too . ”
I wanted to say that Mark and Felicia didn’t, but I held back .
Leaving aside Otou-sama who came home while looking disheartened, I was worried about Gill, who was taken home by a stern looking Stan-ojisama .
“Worry about Nii-sama too . ”
“You’re fine . ”
First of all, no one here had a stern expression on their face or looked gloomy . I only saw a cheerful man who said he was going to spend two days with his family since he had a break . Otou-sama seemed to be in a much better mood than usual .
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Stan . He was summoned by the royal family before Gill told him about the situation . He turned grim when he found out about what had happened . He’s always a cheerful guy, so it’s interesting to see him look like that sometimes . ”
“Otou-syama…”

It was completely someone else’s problem . It’s not Gill’s fault in the first place, and the Albans was the source of the problem since he had only copied what we were doing .
“Lei, are you saying it’s the Albans fault in the first place?”
“Lei did nothhing wrong . He wash copying Nii-syama and Otou-syama . ”
“You’re right . It’ll take too long to tell them about the full story . ” Otou-sama summed it up nicely .
“Well . Stan was funny, but it’s more trouble than it’s worth . ”
I felt like I didn’t want to ask .
“His Highness wants you to teach the children how to do it . ”
I knew it was like that .
