Chapter 94

TL: Zimming

I quickly moved away from him.

Then I looked around, and hurriedly closed the door of the terrace tightly.

“Why are you here?”

He should be in the palace!

“What about you?”

I was a little embarrassed by Adrian’s words.

“I was invited…wait, I asked you first!”

“I’m staying here.”

Adrian is staying at Camilla’s place?

It never happened in my past life. He should have been kicked out of the palace when he was eight because of his maternal grandfather’s treason.

“Since when?”

“Since five years ago.”

“So that’s why you didn’t reply to my letter.”

Adrian once sent me a letter when I was four, with a bouquet of flowers and shoes.

Back then, I replied to him by sending a letter to the church through the chairman.

Turns out Adrian did not receive the letter because he had already left the church.

“…you sent me a reply?”

“Yes.”

I’ve been sending this rascal a lot of letters too.

I couldn’t send it directly to the castle, so I sent a letter on the day I heard that the Imperial Palace carriage had entered the church.

There are more than ten letters that have not been delivered.

Adrian looked down with eyes moist.

“I didn’t know…”

I didn’t know what to do after seeing his pitiful expression.

His face, which was already perfect when he was eight years old, was now even more beautiful like a flower in full bloom. Just looking at him looking so pitiful, makes me feel guilty. I need to calm him down.

“You didn’t know because you weren’t there. I’ll send it again! I’ll send it here and you’ll get it this time.”

“I’ll send it to the Dubbled’s residence first.”

“I’m living in the capital city now.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I’m here with my family-“

I suddenly realized something while I was talking.

‘Adrian knew me as Isaac, the servant.’

At that time, I thought I was going to defect, so I lied naturally.

‘Do I need to tell him the truth?’

If Camilla becomes my godmother, he’ll know anyway.

“You know, the truth is—“

Slam!

In a flash, the door of the terrace flew to the opposite wall. And with the sound of the footsteps, I could see his silver hair.

‘Johann…!’

Before I could call him, Adrian embraced me as he looked at Johann with wary eyes.

Johann pointed his sword at Adrian.

“Let go of that hand.”

“What’s with this guy.”

I was suffocated by the situation.

“Let me say it one last time.”

Johann who said so, quickly went closer to Adrian.

In an instant Adrian tightened his hug and stepped back.

Johann once again aimed his sword to Adrian’s neck. Adrian kicked the cabinet as a candle holder dropped down.

He held me with one hand, took the candle holder in the other hand as he blocked Johann’s sword.

Clang!

With the sharp sound, I could feel the frightening atmosphere even more.

“Stop—!”

I screamed.

Adrian and Johann looked at me. I felt really dizzy because of the fight.

***

“What is this nonsense…!”

Camilla looked at me, Johann and Adrian, sitting on a sofa in the messy room.

I got up and looked at Camilla with a pitiful expression.

‘I didn’t do anything wrong.’

It’s all because of those monsters!

I shouted inside, but the only thing that came out of my mouth was, “I’m sorry.”

“I’m really sorry.”

Of course she’ll be dumbfounded.

She called me to talk, but when she came here, her favorite VIP room was a mess.

There was nothing to say even if she made an official complaint to Dubbled.

I closed my eyes tightly.

‘There’s nothing I can do about it.’

“Can’t you forget about today’s mistake as a gift to me you mentioned last time?”

I wanted to cry because of the wasted chance, but there was no other way.

Johann is the heir to Dubbled’s family. If he was protested by Camilla, his honor would fall to the ground.

There would be a lot of people who would be willing to make Johann’s honor fall down.

His road ahead is full of thorns.

Adrian’s problem was even more severe. This is the only proper place he could go, given that he has been living elsewhere for a long time.

It was painful to imagine Adrian wandering the streets like an abandoned dog.

“……did Lady also contribute to this?”

“No, but still…”

“First, let’s hear why they fought.”

I don’t know that either.

I poked Johann who kept quiet.

When I whispered to him to hurry up, he finally opened his mouth.

“I felt someone in the VIP room. When I asked the butler, he said, ‘There’s only Leblaine inside’ but I could feel someone else was there.”

This time, I poked Adrian.

‘You need to speak too!’

Adrian slowly opened his mouth.

“I came to see you, but she was here instead.”

“You come into the terrace again?”

“I was talking to the child for a while, but suddenly someone attacked me and I fought back.”

After hearing the story, Camilla sighed. I looked at her with dejected eyes, and she narrowed her eyes toward me.

“I’m going to forget this, because it’s the Lady’s wish.”

“Thank you…”

Fortunately, she didn’t react angrily.

I nagged at Adrian and Johann in my heart. I hope they paid their debts soon.

“I heard a rumour about you.”

“What is it?”

“You know how to decipher the Bible, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Well, try to interpret this.”

When Camilla beckoned me, the butler brought a frame that had been lying on the floor.

I looked at the frame the butler gave me.

[Use your eyes if you have one, use your ears if you have one, use your mouth wisely if you have one.]

Reading the words in the frame, I looked at her. She nodded as if allowing me to speak more, but I said nothing.

They were all bewildered hearing me.

Johann and Adrian glanced at me. While Camilla laughed.

“Ahaha!”

She laughed loudly while covering her mouth.

“You’re smart too.”

‘Use your eyes if you have one’ means that you should take good care of yourself so that you are not blind to the opportunity in front of you.

‘Use your ears if you have one’ means to listen carefully to other people’s stories and not to be swayed by rumours.

‘Use your mouth wisely if you have one’ meaning is to distinguish what should be said and not be said.

‘So overall, it tells us to be careful and not talk too much.’

That’s why I kept my mouth shut.

“It was given by my godmother. I’m giving this to you now.”

“…what?”

“I was going to deliver it to you nicely, but I came to this mess.”

She looked at Adrian and Johann coldly.

‘So this…’

I shut my mouth while holding back my laughter.

‘Success!’

I got a great godmother!

“Thank you, godmother!”

As I called her accidently, she said,

“I like you because you’re quick-witted.”

“I’ll educate you weekly in my mansion. If you need something, you don’t have to worry because I’ll get it ready.”

“Yes, godmother!”

“Okay, then I’ll tell your family. There are a few precautions before that.”

“Please tell me.”

“First, I don’t like those who are being too modest. You need to be modest yet at the same time not lose to other children.”

That’s something I’m very good at.

I smiled and nodded.

“Second, I don’t like those who are overconfident. I loathe those who borrow my power and do nothing.”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Then go back…”

As soon as she said so, Johann’s communication device vibrated.

Johann, who checked the device, put it back in his pocket.

Communication devices are so expensive that they are hard to find in Dubbled.

Only my father, who is the family head, and his successor, Johann, went around using it.

“What’s the matter?”

When I asked, Johann answered casually.

“Someone from the palace is looking for you.”

“No way…”

“Her Majesty the Empress.”

Camilla fist tightened and her veins popped out.

“I’ve forgotten the last one.”

“Pardon?”

She lifted her eyebrows at me.

“I get easily jealous. I don’t want to see you with other godmothers.”

Camilla, the most elegant lady in the Empire said that. I could only laugh awkwardly.

After the conversation, me and Johann got up.

“Then we’ll go back, godmother.”

I spoke as Johann lowered his head. Camilla nodded.

As I was leaving the room with Johann, Camilla said,

“Wait.”

“Is the Lady engaged?”

“Engaged?”

A noble usually has an engagement at an early age but I don’t have one yet.

“No.”

When I said that, godmother laughed.

“Usually, godmother often becomes your mother-in-law.”

Johann and Adrian looked at godmother coldly at once.
