51 – Cecilia’s Wrath

“Are you really crazy!?”

“why?”

Tia and Lirina, who heard the news belatedly, broke into Aren’s room and started nagging him.

“Why are you raising kids!?”

To be precise, Tiaman was nagging.

“You said you were responsible for the kids yesterday?”

“That’s not what I mean!”

“Ah wait a minute.”

Aren raised his right hand and said as if to be quiet, then pointed in the direction of Rai and Rachel.

“Rachel was scared because of you.”

“… Oh, that’s not it.”

As Aren said, when Rachel looked at her as if she was really scared, Tia panicked and started to make excuses.

“Mi-sorry, sister-in-law…”

“All right, Rachel, come here.”

After interrupting Tia, she calls for Rachel, and Rachel sneaks away from Tia and approaches her.

“It’s okay, was that unnie scared? Oppa will protect you.”

“huh.”

“So, Tia, since the kids are scared, can you go out?”

“What, what?”

Tia, who suddenly became a bad person, was greatly embarrassed and began to soothe Rachel.

“Uh, isn’t Unnie a scary person? Earlier, Unnie…”

“omg.”

As Tia approached to comfort her, Rachel turned her head scaredly into Aren’s arms.

As Tia stood still as if shocked by her appearance, Lirina, who was next to her, sighed and said.

“Aren, if you say that, Tia will be in trouble.”

“I think it can’t be helped, because Lirina, it’s the fault of the person who screams as soon as they arrive.”

When Aren said it as if it were natural, Tia, who had been stiff, said with tears in her eyes.

“Hey, aren’t you an aristocrat, too? Do you know what kind of gossip there will be if you raise kids at your age?”

“Yeah, I know, so I’m not going to get married.”

“…uh?”

“…yes?”

At Aren’s remarks, Tia and even Lirina looked at him with stunned expressions.

Aren, on the other hand, spoke calmly.

“If I break off my marriage with you anyway, I didn’t intend to have an arranged marriage, so I don’t know later, but at least I won’t get married until these kids become independent.”

“……”

“……”

so easy?

Tia and Lirina stood in a daze, unable to react to such an unexpected remark.

While the two were frozen, Rai asked Aren.

“Brother, are you engaged?”

“Huh? Ah~ I did it with him.”

When Aren pointed at Tia, who was stiff, Rai opened his eyes wide in surprise and said,

“Then what should I call you? Wife? Sister-in-law?”

“Mmm, what!?”

Tia, who came to her senses at Rai’s words, screamed out loud as if frightened.

Aren laughed at that appearance and said while looking at Rai.

“Just call me older sister, you call me older brother?”

“It doesn’t matter to you, but you have to look good to the people around you.”

“… Ho-oh.”

‘Smart?’

Certainly you don’t have to be polite with Aren, but it’s different with those around him.

Each of Rai’s actions also affects Aren’s reputation.

Aren patted Rai’s head as if he were proud.

“why?”

“I just want to do it.”

“……”

At Aren’s words, Rai blushed slightly and politely gave his head.

After patting his head for a while, Aren said.

“Then call me sister.”

“sister?”

“okay.”

At Aren’s words, Rai nodded and turned to look at Tia.

“This is Aren’s brother’s disciple Rai! Please take good care of me sister!”

“Uh, huh!?”

When Tia did not respond to Rai’s sudden greeting, Aren reprimanded her.

“Rai greets you. I have to accept it. What are you doing?”

“Uh… I’m taking care of me too…”

Tia received Rai’s greeting with a complicated expression.

Seeing this, Aren smiled and this time spoke to Lirina.

“I have a request for Lirina.”

“yes?”

“Can you please be the children’s teacher?”

“Are you a teacher?”

“yes.”

“… ah.”

Lirina could understand what Aren meant.

Now that it is the vacation period, Aren can teach the children himself, but when the vacation is over, the time with the children has to be reduced.

Besides, Rachel is a girl, and there must be something Aren doesn’t know or lacks.

In preparation for that time, Aren asked Lirina to educate the children.

After thinking for a while, Lirina spoke cautiously.

“Is it all right for me to do it? Most of my education is about royalty…”

“You don’t have to think too hard, just teach me the necessary knowledge or language for everyday life. Of course, you will get a salary. Well, if it’s burdensome, you don’t have to do it.”

“At that level, I can do it. Oh, you don’t have to pay me a salary.”

“No, we have to make sure of this. Bonuses come out based on the level of education of the children.”

“Fu-hu-hu, okay, then after school starts…”

After that, Tia, who was watching the two of them set up class times for the children, suddenly said,

“I am?”

“huh?”

“What am I going to do?”

“No?”

At Aren’s words, Tia opened her eyes and said.

“Why don’t I?”

“That’s right, I left the mental training to Lirina, and I teach Rai’s swordsmanship.”

“Can’t I do mental training when the two of you aren’t around?”

“Is there ever a time when I have less time than you?”

“……”

forgot for a while

Aren was a sucker at the academy.

As Tia understands, Aren’s door suddenly opens and Principal Tristan enters.

“Aren.”

“Yes, teacher.”

“Come with me, children too.”

***

The outer annex of Bolridge Academy.

“Live here.”

“Ohhh, was there a place like this?”

Aren and his children, Tia and Lirina, who had followed Tristan, exclaimed when they saw the small annex that was a bit far from the main building of the academy.

“What were you originally doing?”

“It was a warehouse.”

After briefly answering Aren’s question, Tristan opened the annex and said,

“There are several other places besides this one, but this is the one closest to the main building.”

“Isn’t that nice? I can live right away if I clean it?”

Aren went straight into the annex, looked around, and said while looking at Rai and Rachel.

“How is it? Do you like it?”

“Yes, I like it.”

nod

Rai said with a dazed expression, as if the house he would be living in would be strange, and Rachel nodded as if it were strange, but looked around, looking unconcerned.

“Wow~ It’s really okay, sir? You said there were more annexes, right?”

Tristan shook his head at Tia’s question.

“does not exist.”

“Yes? It was there earlier…”

“does not exist.”

“……”

After looking around for a while, Lirina looked at Aren and said.

“Aren, cleaning is important, but there is no furniture at all. I don’t know anything else, but I need to buy necessities right now.”

“No, I need the necessities, but I can buy the furniture later.”

“why?”

“Sir, can I work here?”

“construction?”

As Lirina said, there was nothing in the annex.

Just one big room.

Of course, you can live here too, but that doesn’t make it feel like you live here.

I wanted to make a place where my children would feel like they were living in a house.

After hearing Aren’s words, Tristan seemed insignificant.

“It’s a place I didn’t even use anyway, so do as you like.”

“Then call the blacksmith?”

“okay.”

Call right before changing words.

It doesn’t matter as long as you have a lot of money anyway.

Aren was thinking about that.

totototot

“…?”

Rachel was running around and looking around the empty annex.

snooping snooping

‘It looks very good.’

It is quite strange that he has a house, so he wanders around without hesitation.

Everyone in the room looked at Rachel with a happy expression at the pure appearance of a child.

Aren also watched for a while and then spoke to the two children.

“Guys, should we say hello to Grandpa?”

“yes.”

“huh.”

At Aren’s words, Rai and Rachel approached Principal Tristan and bowed their heads.

“Thank you, Ambassador.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

“… keuhum, yes, I’ll fix the house right away, so just wait a little bit.”

‘You’re more shy than I thought.’

If done well, it seemed that he would even cover the construction cost.

***

4 days after receiving Rai as a disciple.

“Hello Aren.”

“sister?”

Cecilia approached Aren, who was training in the gymnasium as usual.

“Sister, when did you come?”

“now.”

“Kaang!”

In line with Cecilia’s voice, the albino cries.

“Hmm? Why did you bring the albino?”

“Because I will raise it.”

“Is this the academy?”

“So you’ll get permission.”

‘It’s still the same.’

Fortunately, as if nothing had happened in the Nerestia duchy, Cecilia was as usual.

At that time, Cecilia looked at Aren while hesitating about what was going on.

“… Ah… Aren.”

“huh?”

“……”

“……?”

When Cecilia hesitated to speak, Aren spoke first.

“What happened?”

“……”

“Tell me it’s okay.”

“… ah.”

The moment Cecilia opened her mouth to Aren’s words.

“sister?”

“… Tia?”

Tia and Rai were walking together towards the gymnasium.

“…?”

After looking at Tia for a moment, Cecilia turned her gaze to Rai, who was walking beside her.

Our eyes met and Rai came forward and started introducing himself.

“Hello! My name is Rai, a disciple of Aren’s brother!”

“… student?”

Cecilia looked at Aren as if Rai’s introduction was correct, and Aren nodded and said,

“You’re my disciple, it happened a while ago.”

“okay?”

Cecilia stared at Rai curiously.

As if that gaze was burdensome, Rai’s head shrank slightly and said.

“I-over there…”

“why?”

When Cecilia answered briefly, Rai looked at her and asked.

“What, what should I do?”

“That question again? Just call me sister?”

When Aren asked why he asked, Rai replied.

“But you’re your sister’s sister, then you’re your brother’s wife’s sister, so you can’t just call her, right?”

“what!?”

Tia was taken aback by Rai’s words and said.

“I’m not married yet!”

“Then when?”

“Uh… that’s…”

When Tia couldn’t answer Rai’s innocent question, Aren spoke instead.

“Stop talking about marriage, and you can just say big sister to the pretty sister here.”

“Big sister?”

When Cecilia responded, Aren said as if it were natural.

“To Tia, if you call her older sister, then she is the older sister.”

“no.”

“uh?”

From noble mtl dot com

“no.”

Is it that I don’t like the title I thought of?

Rarely, Cecilia firmly refused.

Cecilia turned her gaze to Rai.

“Call me sister.”

“yes!”

To Cecilia’s dignified voice, Rai responded in a disciplined voice.

“But what were you trying to say?”

“……”

Cecilia could not immediately answer Aren’s question and stood still.

“sister?”

As Cecilia hesitates, Tia feels something strange and approaches her.

“Are you Aren Deepus?”

“…!?”

“…!?”

A man wearing a deep black robe appeared from behind Aren.

“… Who is it?”

When Aren, who hastily entered a state of alert, glared at him, the man raised his hand as if he had no intention of fighting.

“You don’t have to be so vigilant, let’s talk…”

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa

While the man was talking, Cecilia moved.

Kwaaang!!

“sister!?”

“sister!?”

“Wow!”

When Cecilia suddenly kicked the man with her aura wrapped around her, the man hurriedly blocked it and slipped away.

Chow ah

“Ugh… Lady Cecilia, calm down.”

“Did you follow me?”

“……”

When the man did not answer Cecilia’s question, her aura burned like wildfire and began to dominate the arena.

aaa!!!

Aren shouted urgently at that tremendous energy.

“Tia! Protect Rai!”

“know!”

Even while the two were talking, Cecilia’s aura didn’t stop and began to cover the gymnasium.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa

Cecilia’s grim eyes, engulfed in rage, were fixed on the man.

“Do you want to die?”

“… I was scolded.”

Cecilia’s life explodes.
