“Hey, I’m a warrior!”

It was a car that would make you sweat with your hands and feet in the dirt. Latera, who was crying with tears in her eyes, rushed towards Siron. Siron was struggling to keep from getting dirt on her, who was clinging to her like a cicada.

“Hey, bury the dirt, dude. Why are you doing that?”

“……Hero. Is this correct?”

Latera clung to Siron with a tearful expression on her face, and eventually hid behind him. Siron turned his gaze towards the approaching sign. A maid with sparkling blonde hair approached me at a slow pace.

“You cheeky little boy. I was wondering where he ran away.”

“Encia.”

After finishing his appetite, Siron wiped his hands with a towel soaked in water.

“Why was the child so scared? Did you two fight?”

“There could be a fight. I said I would just help him change his clothes, but he got so shocked and ran out shouting your name.”

“Hero, you must not fall for the evil devil’s lies!”

Latera, who had already crawled up to her shoulder, pointed a pointed finger at Encia.

“Well, that evil devil surprised me with a flash of lightning! That, and… the cheeky little boy! He called me a cocky kid!”

“Um…”

“If I had just wanted to change my clothes, I wouldn’t have called him a cocky kid, much less said he ran away!”

“Oh my, did I say that?”

Encia covered her mouth and trembled.

“But even if I did say that, it is true that I was trying to help you recover. Why did you speak harshly? It can’t be helped, right? That little boy is openly hostile to me and Ophelia.”

“…”

Siron quietly listened to the conversation between the two and his expression hardened.

When we returned from Braham together, I had expected, and could tolerate, that Latera and Siriel were not on good terms.

Siriel lived in the main house rather than a separate building, and since Latera realized that her actions following Siron were related to a kind of envy rather than love, she believed that time would slowly solve the problem.

However, the relationship with the maid who was taking care of the dishes in the separate building was not taken into consideration. Since he was called Latera and had the title of angel, he instinctively loathed the devil.

So it wasn’t anyone’s fault that the two didn’t get along well. The fact that devils and angels do not get along has become common knowledge in poetry.

“…I don’t think Encia bothered Latera on purpose.”

“Hey, warrior! So are you saying I’m lying?”

“That’s not it either.”

Siron removed the latera that was stuck to his face and held it up. Then he headed straight towards Encia.

“What are you doing?!”

“Stay still, Encia stays there too.”

“…Master?”

Encia blinked and picked up Latera, who was curled up.

“How about it? Do you still feel like lightning?”

“…a little.”

“Encia, what about you?”

“My arm… is a little tingly.”

Encia answered with a puzzled expression. The cowering and trembling angel radiated tremendous divine power in and of itself, so I felt impulsive enough to want to throw it away immediately if it weren’t for Siron’s command.

Siron, who noticed that expression, accepted Latera from Encia, and Latera wrapped her legs around Siron’s waist.

“There is no way Encia, who decided to actively cooperate with me, would harass you on purpose. There is no way Latera would intentionally unleash divine power on Encia.”

“Then…”

“What should I do? They just don’t fit together. Encia I will be taking care of this guy. You should go out somewhere with Ophelia.”

“Really?”

“Yes, take good care of yourself instead. Because priests have started to spread around here recently.”

Siron rummaged through his chest and pulled out a pocket full of gold coins. Encia was shocked and then smiled brightly.

Siron patted Latera, who was crying, on the back and walked around the garden of the mansion. Latera was still clinging to Shiron, as if she didn’t like it so much.

“Can’t I come down slowly?”

“…Can’t we stay like this just a little longer?”

“Even though he looks like a child, I thought he was mentally mature.”

“But, if I do this, I feel at ease.”

Latera muttered, rubbing her cheek against his chest. She too found this behavior childish and childish. However, I don’t know if it was because of the unfamiliar environment or because the reaction that had been lonely for 500 years was swept away all at once, but her instincts did not want to become separated from Shiron.

Become a great guardian angel. Inside Latera, the desire to appear trustworthy as a warrior’s companion clashed with the desire to act foolishly like never before, and on emotionally unstable days like this, she often showed a childlike side to Siron.

“Hero. But where are you going now?”

“To meet someone who can solve my problems.”

Siron walked from the garden toward the main building. Numerous users’ eyes began to fall on Siron, who was holding Latera. Siron glanced away and approached the head deacon who came to meet him.

“I have a serious story to discuss with Eldrina.”

“We will guide you to the reception room.”

After receiving guidance from the butler, I sat down in the living room for a while. Eldrina came in wearing a simple dress.

“Long time no see.”

Siron stood up and bowed his head. Latera also sees Siron’s actions and follows suit.

“How was your long trip?”

“Thanks to you, it was fun. Every moment was so intense that it felt too short.”

Eldrina smiled brightly and then covered her mouth with her fan. Because Hugo lived such a busy life, Eldrina also lived a life without rest.

It is a vacation that is like a welcome rain in a dry daily life. Hugo’s face, which I met at the training center yesterday morning, was dark and burnt, and the marks were clearly visible on his face, as if he were wearing sunglasses.

As it was the first time in a long time that she had an intimate moment with her husband, Eldrina felt immensely grateful to Siron for allowing her to spend that moment.

So much so that he doesn’t immediately mention the 70 million shilling credit card bill.

“By the way, who is that kid next to you? This is my first time seeing you.”

However, the girl sitting quietly next to Siron could not be ignored.

“If you have anything hidden…”

“No.”

“I haven’t finished my sentence properly yet. I’m embarrassed that you stopped talking so abruptly.”

“I know what you want to say. Common sense tells me how old I am, but it’s such an absurd story.”

Siron frowned.

“I am eighteen. eighteen. To have a child like this, you would have had to get married around the age of five and have an affair right away.”

“…I’m sorry. Your top is so presbyopic.”

“I guess it’s because I worked hard.”

“…Your younger sister, Lucia, still hasn’t shed her childlike appearance.”

Eldrina, unable to meet his gaze, smiled sheepishly.

“So, for what reason did you come to see me? Usually, I walk around so much that it’s hard to even see my face.”

“Actually, it’s because of this child.”

Latera blinked and looked at Eldrina and Shiron alternately.

” Regarding the treatment of this child, could you please lend me a helper? ”

“…”

Latera was relieved as she rubbed her chest. Fortunately, no words came out of Siron’s mouth asking if he could take care of Latera instead.

“It’s not difficult to lend a few users. If you want to select people to take care of that child, you can give as much as you want.”

Eldrina said, looking into her bright purple eyes.

“Baby. Come here.”

“Are you saying this?”

“Go ahead.”

As Siron tapped her back, Latera hesitantly approached Eldrina’s side.

Eldrina lightly patted her knee and gently hugged Latera.

“What is your baby’s name?”

“My name is… Latera.”

“It’s a pretty name. The hair is shiny and the complexion is bright. There is no smell… ”

Eldrina buried her nose in the top of Latera’s head and laughed. Latera, who was horrified by this, raised a question mark towards Siron.

‘Hero. This woman is strange. Why do you smell? Are you a pervert who is lustful for young girls?’

‘…I don’t know either.’

Eldrina, seeing Siron unable to keep his mouth shut, blushed and protested.

“I just made sure it didn’t smell like him.”

“I guess you have a very good sense of smell?”

“During the trip, I made a contract with a spirit. The spirit is speaking to me. Even though he wasn’t born with Prien’s blood, this child is by no means ordinary.”

“Well, I see.”

“The employee’s matter has been resolved. If I can afford it, I will recruit someone to take care of this child.”

“Then, can I just leave?”

“…No.”

Eldrina said while repeatedly fanning her red face.

“I also happened to want to see you.”

“…What kind of business do you have?”

“It’s the story of Siriel and Lucia.”

“Why them?”

As Siron questioned, Eldrina started fanning faster. It seemed as if it was cooling down the boiling heat, so Siron’s head bobbed in unison.

“Truant absence.”

“Yes…?”

“It’s not just Lucia. I heard that Siriel was also absent from school. And that’s not just for a day or two, but the entire 15-month period.”

As I had just returned from vacation, the notice left in my office distracted me from the lingering memories of my trip.

“It’s difficult to do this. I don’t know about Lucia, but Siriel needs to graduate from the academy properly, so won’t that be a setback if she misses classes for a month?”

“…I’m sorry about that.”

Instead of making excuses, Shiron decided to bow his head. Even if Siriel secretly following Siron was out of his control, it was something he could have prevented if he wanted to.

Eldrina sighed as Siron apologized obediently.

“It’s the same with Lucia, but it’s not because I don’t want to raise Siriel ignorantly. As someone who is called the mother of those children, I believe I can turn a blind eye to small deviations.”

“…”

“But, Siriel is the child who will inherit his knighthood in the future.”

Although military force was important in the operation of the Knights Templar, it was also so complex that the ability to manage people and network could not be taken lightly.

“I hope that the child will get to know many people at the academy and learn the skills to survive while living in a group. You don’t have to get a diploma, but you still have a lot of time left to attend the academy, right? If you are expelled from school like this, you will be thrown out into society without the skills and interpersonal relationships you should have built in your youth.”

“…I agree with him.”

Siron stiffened his face and nodded.

“I will advise you well. If you want, I can scold you. Just scold them so they can’t follow me again, and spank their butts so they can’t deviate again…”

“Is that the best you can do?”

Eldrina cast a thin glance at Siron, who was tapping his fingers. Siron noticed that the purpose of the woman in front of him was not just advice.

“Okay then. Is there anything else you would like?”

“I don’t really want something grand.”

Just a few seconds. Eldrina calculated whether now was the time to put an end to the great plan.

“Be engaged to Siriel.”
