“Sister! Look at this!”

Theo, who had been hanging from the carriage window before, pointed out. The carriage had just entered the downtown area where the biggest festival was taking place.

Outside the window, a strange sight spread even to Charlotte.

Clowns wearing colorful costumes and performing, bands playing exciting music and magicians stealing children’s souls, delicious food and colorful games.

Since it was Theo’s First Festival, he couldn’t miss a thing, he turned his head all around and shouted .

Charlotte hugged Theo tightly, fearing he might fall.

“There are a lot of new things, right?”

“Wow.”

This time, Theo indicated where the children had gathered. It was not clear exactly what they were doing.

But upon seeing the children the same age as Theo screaming in excitement, something seemed to catch their interest.

There were still a lot of people around, so the carriage was slowed down.

In order not to reveal his identity, they rode a carriage that did not have the duchy’s crest on it, but due to its large size, the carriage began to attract attention.

‘I think we should go down soon.’

Charlotte glanced at Carcel and with that thought in mind, he opened the window to his knight and whispered something to him, and soon the carriage began to slow to a complete standstill.

Carcel looked outside, then opened the door first and walked out.

Charlotte was already flushed with excitement, and after picking up Theo, whose cheeks were red, she carefully got out of the carriage.

Carcel held Theo with one hand and escorted Charlotte with the other.

‘He’s strong .’

When Charlotte looked at Theo in Carcel’s arms, she involuntarily thought about it.

Theo was only three years old and had a skeleton younger than his age, but unlike his cute appearance, he was heavier than expected.

It was especially hard to hold him when he was excited with his limbs moving. Today, Theo is more excited than ever, so it’s harder for Charlotte to carry him.

But it looks like Carcel wasn’t even struggling while holding Theo like that, which is great.

‘Well, because he’s the male protagonist.’

I understood it very easily. He is the hero. How is the weight of a child a hindrance to him?

Besides, he was the best knight in the empire and did not neglect his training.

Then she realized that she was having silly ideas and laughed.

Charlotte laughed to herself and shook her head, tidying up her messy clothes.

Then, when she suddenly turned her head, her eyes met Carcel, who was staring at her.

He didn’t say anything, but he looked like he was asking why you’re laughing so much.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the festival. It’s fun. Theo thinks so too, right?”

Charlotte made no other excuses and grabbed Theo, who was extending his arm to her. As expected, Theo was very heavy clutching her arm.

Carcel quickly glanced at Charlotte and Theo in her arms.

“It seems difficult for you to carry him.”

“Ah, but if you hold it by one hand we might accidentally lose him…”

Charlotte frowned and looked at the bracelet on Theo’s wrist. It was an anti-lost bracelet that Sir Ahin had prepared in case of emergency.

There was a magical tool that was paired into the bracelet that Carcel was wearing on his wrist.

Even if he breaks with Theo, he can teleport to Theo’s place by infusing magic into the bracelet.

Because he is a Duke, it is a very luxurious and expensive item to use.

However, this bracelet cannot be a distraction. It is a hundred or a thousand times better not to lose Theo than to lose him and then find him.

And of course, the best way to avoid losing a baby in such a crowded place is to hold it.

‘My arm will hurt.’

It’s time to get his posture right so that Charlotte can lighten up a bit.

Carcel reached out and grabbed Theo.

“It would be better if I carried Theo.”

He looked into Theo’s eyes as if asking him to agree. It seemed to ask him ‘Is there an objection?’

Theo looked at Charlotte for a moment and then immediately nodded his head. It’s okay with Charlotte or Carcel as long as there is someone to carry him.

“Brother! Sister!”

Carcel and Charlotte exchanged looks and then headed to the place Theo had indicated earlier.

When they drew near, they noticed that the place where the children gathered was selling cotton candy.

‘Oh my God, is their cotton candy in here too?’

Charlotte watched the cotton candy being made, fascinated by the sight she had never expected.

In Korea, she wasn’t interested in cotton candy, but seeing something she didn’t expect to see here made her feel nostalgic.

It was probably made by magic, as a thin strand of thread was pulled out of the circular cylindrical machine.

When the stall owner collected the threads with a wooden stick, the cotton candy was finally complete.

“Wow !”

Theo couldn’t take his eyes off the cotton candy store owner as he handed the pink cotton candy to the baby.

His expression as he looked at his older brother with bright eyes was as if he was saying, “Buy me this too!” .

“Theo, do you want to eat that?”

“Yes !”

Charlotte lined up in the queue. Theo, who was watching the scene, begged Carcel to bring him down and moved his legs and then stood beside Charlotte and grabbed her hand.

“Will Theo wait with me?”

“Yes.”

“Wouldn’t you be bored if you waited here?”

“It’s okay!”

Theo looked at Charlotte, then smiled brightly. Carcel stood next to Charlotte.

Charlotte glared at Theo and Carcel, who were chatting in keeping with the raucous festival atmosphere.

‘What a peaceful atmosphere.’

It felt different than watching the festival with my older brothers two years ago, but I loved the feeling too. I felt a tickle in my heart for no reason.

“Wow !”

At long last, Theo got the cotton candy. The cotton candy was as blue as the clear autumn sky.

Charlotte ordered another white cotton candy and tall ears were made for Theo’s cotton candy. The cotton candy that was simply round and fluffy turned into a cute bunny in an instant.

“There it is !”

“Sister! It’s a rabbit!”

Theo jumped up and admired the candy. Children around saw Theo’s cotton candy and wanted it too.

Theo opened his mouth wide in front of the children and bit the rabbit’s ears. The child’s shoulders trembled from the sweetness that melted on his tongue.

“Sister! Brother!”

Theo took a piece of cotton candy and put it in Charlotte’s mouth and then Carcel’s. Charlotte raised her thumbs to Theo and said it was delicious and then looked at Carcel.

Carcel hates sweets terribly. The taste of sugar-only cotton candy seemed uncomfortable, but he nodded.

“Yes delicious .”

“Right?”

Theo shrugged and licked the cotton candy with the tip of his tongue. His tongue quickly turned blue, causing Charlotte to laugh.

“Theo’s tongue is blue.”

“Theo is a monster!”

Theo was excited and did not care about Charlotte’s laughter.

After that, they continued to watch the festival. Theo who was in Carcel’s arms pointed out whatever seemed strange to him and Charlotte and Carcel did whatever Theo wanted.

Theo danced while holding Charlotte’s hand in front of the band, and applauded in amazement as the wizard made a rose through magic.

Although he has the ability to make real flowers with magic if he wants to.

Theo also played the game of pulling toys by placing his hands in a large box.

Theo chose a wooden rabbit doll, it was smaller than the palm of his hand, but he loved it because it was cute.

“I have to put it by the bed.”

After that, the peaceful festival viewing continued.

The three ate simple chicken skewers and drinks after Theo said he was hungry. Theo put a lot of sauce around his mouth and ate three skewers and said they were delicious.

We spent three or four hours walking around the festival.

When the usual nap time passed, Theo yawned over and over.

“Theo, do you want to go back?”

Even when asked by Charlotte, he pretended not to sleep, rubbed his eyes, and shook his head.

“No .”

“You look sleepy.”

“Flower show….”

But he could not overcome his drowsiness, and as he moved into Carcel’s arms, he began to fall asleep.

Carcel, who was looking at Theo with his eyes closed, made a suggestion.

“Let’s take a break. I think we should take a break in the café and go watch the fireworks. How about that?”

Charlotte looked at Theo and thought for a moment.

It would be best to go back to the mansion to sleep comfortably, but if he came back like this, Theo would be very sorry.

So the answer came quickly.

“Okay. Theo also wanted to watch the fireworks.”

“Okay let’s go.”

Carcel started to move with great strides.

Unlike his usual steps, these were easy steps for Charlotte to follow.

Rather, given the speed at which he usually walks, it can be said that it is rather slow.

Thanks to that, Charlotte was able to follow him leisurely.

‘Is he taking care of me?’

As soon as he thought about it, Carcel stopped walking and looked back a little. He made sure Charlotte was following him, and then he started walking again.

Because of his light and thoughtful demeanor, Charlotte pressed her cheeks that were burning against her will.
