When Nii-sama hugged me and swayed gently, I noticed that the people around us were just watching our reunion . I wiped my tears with my sleeves, and Nii-sama said gently, “Thanks, Lei . Now, let’s say hello to everyone who is worried . ” Even though he looked gentle, he immediately returned to a face that the Four Marquises would make .
I looked up at Nii-sama, put my hands around his neck, hugged him tightly, then released one hand and looked at everyone . Thus, the two children with bright blonde hair and violet eyes stared at the crowd, and the group caused a commotion as if they were sighing .
Nii-sama and I looked at each other again and waved together . The plaza was filled with applause and cheers .
“Otou-syama won’th wab . ” (Otou-sama won’t wave . )
“Otou-sama would pick Lei up and go straight back to Kingdom without saying anything . ”
“Ai . ”
We both laughed, and Nii-sama hugged me again .
“Lei, you remember Otou-sama . Ah, I want to let him know quickly . We were so worried that you would forget about us . ”
“Niini, lub . Otou-syama, lub . Won’th forgeth . ” (Niinii, love . Otou-sama, love . Won’t forget)
“Lei!” A shocked voice interrupted our moving scene .
“Hey, Lei . What about me? Hey, what about me?” It was Gill . I pushed Nii-sama away as he rubbed his face against mine and looked at Gill . He doesn’t look like Alistair .
“Sthwanger . ” (Stranger)
“Eh, no way!” Gill was in shock . Such a hopeless person .
“Remember Giww . ”
“Right?! Jeez, I can’t believe that Lei teased me…”
“Giww woow . ” (Gill look)
“Mm . What?”
“Niini, down . ”
Nii-sama resisted for a moment, but he let me down . When I got down, I looked at Alistair who had been staring at us this whole time . His face was saying, “I’m glad . ”
“Awishthair . Giww . ”
“Eh . ”
Alistair had been watching as if it was someone else’s business, but it’s time to face reality .
“Giww . Awishthair . ”
“So you’re Alistair?”
Gill stopped looking playful and stood properly in front of Alistair . The noisy crowd gradually quietened down again . Then, Gill spoke, “Nice to meet you, Uncle . ”
I was surprised by the word Uncle and looked at Gill in shock . He’s older and a noble . His position was a lot better than Alistair’s, but he launched a pre-emptive strike . Alistair also widened his eyes at the word Uncle and froze .
“I’m Gilbert Lisburn . You are not my brother, but my father’s brother . I’m sorry, but my grandfather, your father, has passed away, and my father has always been looking for you . I’m sorry we were late in finding you . ” Gill accepted this situation and explained smoothly . He held out his hand to Alistair . The usual Alistair would refuse to shake hands . Even I, an infant, was amazed at Gill’s childish behaviour, and it was annoying that he only apologised with words .
Alistair, however, didn’t smile, held out his hand, and firmly gripped Gill’s .
“I’m Alistair . ” He said simply to claim that he wasn’t a Lisburn and had nothing to do with Gill . At a glance, they looked as if they were smiling at each other, but they were actually glaring at each other without letting their hands go . Scary .
However, the crowd, who were watching, cheered again . Can’t you see the chill between them?
Nii-sama put his hand on top of the two gripped hands .
“Congratulations on reuniting . We’ll talk about it more in the castle . ”
Gill is definitely glaring . But he reluctantly let go, and Nii-sama looked at Alistair . The edge of his lips was up, but his eyes weren’t smiling .
“You’re Alistair? I’m Luke Albans . Lei’s brother . Thank you for taking care of my precious… of my precious Lei this whole time . ”
“No, I just…”
“Just?”
“I just helped her choose how she wanted to live . There’s no reason to thank me . Right, Lei?” Alistair looked at me gently . Yes, Alistair had me choose how I wanted to live at the beginning .
“We were just together the whole time . Always . ”
“ai . ”
Stop it! Stop throwing sparks at each other with a baby in the middle!
“Yo, it’s an emotional reunion, isn’t it Lei? I’m so glad . Thank goodness! Haha . ” A voice cut in . The owner of the voice patted Alistair’s back, then he crouched down and played with my cheeks .
It’s obvious who would do something like this .
“Mill, you, don’t disregard the Prince and move forward!”
“’Cause it’s gonna take a long time . It’s okay since they’ve already met, right?”
“Well, yeah . ”
Is it, Bart?! Behind them, Kyaro and Clyde were laughing with their arms crossed . I did my best to explain to Nii-sama, “Niini, everyone shaved Lei . Awwaysh hewped . ” (Niinii, everyone saved Lei . Always helped . )
“I see, Lei . These people did?” Nii-sama slowly bowed at the four people when the childish rivalry was extinguished .
“Thank you for helping Lei, my sister . Thank you very much . ” Nii-sama said with his head still down, and I think his voice was trembling . I clung to Nii-sama’s leg .
“We said it’s fine . We also had a great time . ”
“Mill!” Despite Bart’s attempt to restrain him from talking casually, Mill continued, “Lei always acts like she’s fine, and she always does her best without crying . But when she had a fever, she cried out Niini, Otou-syama and Hannah in her sleep . ”
I can’t believe I sleep talk . That’s embarrassing . I clung tighter to Nii-sama’s leg, looked up at him and tears started falling from his closed eyes .
“You guys… Even though I was doing my best to hold it in . ”
Nii-sama roughly wiped his eyes, and slowly raised his head . His eyes were red, but he wasn’t crying anymore .
“Well, my existence seems to have been completely forgotten . ”
“Your Highness . ”
When Gill and Nii-sama saw Huu, they knew that he was the Prince straight away . They corrected their posture and bowed .
“It’s still noon . The playing innocent child, no, pardon me, Leila isn’t that tired . Why don’t we have a light meal with the people who took care of Leila?”
Food!
“Food . ”
“Yeah, Leila . The castle’s chefs make delicious food . ”
“Ai!”
The emotional and heated reunion finished peacefully .
