“…………”

“Am I right ?”

After a silence, Randru confessed.

“True .”

“Why?”

Randru, who had taken the oath to his master, could do nothing that would harm the Heinst Family.

This meant Morris was outside the oath line. No, the fact that Morris had not spoken of his whereabouts had nothing to do with it.

Had Randru done that, Theo wouldn’t have been hurt.

But that doesn’t mean he can’t clear his suspicions of Morris completely. He may have acted arbitrarily.

“Then why didn’t you report the location? What is Morris Federo doing now?”

“…he was looking for the right person.”

“What?”

“Sir Heather was there but out of precaution, he went to find other suitable people. Mr. Theo was almost in trouble.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“It was a request from the previous duke.”

There was silence in the office for a moment. Carcel only spoke after wiping his face slightly.

“Did my father tell you to keep it a secret?”

“yes .”

“Why?”

“I don’t even know why. I did what the previous duke ordered.”

Why on earth would my father tell him to keep it a secret? Was it because I wasn’t good enough?

Carcel thought of his dead father.

Unlike his mother, his father was not devoted to his children.

He was strict with Carcel from an early age and taught his successor harshly.

Such was the nature of this person and he had no affection for his children.

Just as ruthless as Carcel was with his beloved brother, so was his father.

So Carcel worked harder.

Knowing that his father loved him because wanted him to be a son to be proud of.

-You’ve grown a lot.

There were little words of praise from him sometimes. This is how Carcel, the current Duke of Heinst, grew up.

There was a commotion, but now it didn’t matter. Carcel was quick to judge the situation.

“You didn’t report it because you were looking for a suitable person. If something goes wrong, Theo might be found out to be a Rosito.”

“True .”

“So where is Morris Federo now? Is the master still in contact with him?”

“The last time I had a report a week ago, he said he was at the Dallas property in the South.”

“Let him come to the palace immediately, make him use the mana gate, and come here.”

Without asking why Randru responded by bowing his head.

“I understand, duke.”

***

“Even if it was my teacher, how could you ask me to come all of a sudden?”

Morris Federo grumbled and entered the mana gate. It was a potential complaint because Randru wasn’t in front of him.

Morris, with silver hair and purple eyes, looked young for his 25-year-old. He looked younger than Carcel just by looking at his white and round face.

He had rushed to the mana gate when he heard his teacher order him to return to the duchy now.

“When you called me a week ago, you told me to find a suitable person.”

Remember the last time you communicated with Ruandro. He reported results regularly by calling his mentor every month.

However, a week ago, Randru hastily called in just two weeks.

He was nervous about something urgent, but what Randru said was Lord Heather died, so hurry and find a suitable new person.

When I heard this, I slept less and wandered, but now I am in a hurry to return. No matter how hard I looked at it, it seemed like he was giving me a hard time.

But what can I do? You do what the teacher tells you to do. Morris stepped into the mana gate in a gloomy mood.

After the light shone for a while, I could see the emerald sea in front of me. It was a nostalgic look at his birth until he left the area.

“It’s good to be here again.”

For no reason the tip of Morris’s nose twitched, then he gasped and headed for the palace immediately using a chariot.

Once there, he visits the office to meet Carcel, and says he’s off to take care of something else for a while.

Morris was forced to walk around the palace and suddenly moved into the garden. He liked the greenhouse in the garden more than anywhere in the palace.

Instead of the flowers being good, the quiet was good because there weren’t many people in the greenhouse.

However, there were unusual people in the greenhouse.

“Sister, I planted carrots here!”

“Yes that’s right .”

I don’t know who the woman was, but the other was the voice of a child. There was only one child that could be in Heinst Palace.

Theodore Heinst, precious young palace master.

It was a potential heir who could support him when he grew up later. In short, it meant that he must see well.

Morris, who hastily removed his robe with his hands, headed to the place where he heard the voice.

There was a small field that did not fit into the greenhouse. In front of him were a blond child and a blond woman in light clothes.

‘Who is she ?’

Not Irina. Is she a new nanny?

People didn’t know that Carcel had a fiancée.

Morris, who left the palace and wandered around, also did not know that Carcel had a fiancée.

The reason was that Randru, the only person he was communicating with, had not spoken.

As he was wondering which face he had seen for the first time, Morris went before Theo and saluted him.

“It’s been a while, young master. Young master may not remember, but I am Morris Federo, a disciple of Lord Randreau.”

Theo was surprised and hid behind the woman.

“I didn’t mean to surprise you. I’m sorry.”

Morris raised his body and scratched the back of his head awkwardly in the wary eyes of the child.

“Disciple of Master Randru? Do you know Ahin too?”

“Yes, brother Ahin ….”

Morris, who had eye contact with the woman, hardened like a stone.

‘pretty!’

Blonde as bright as sunlight and round blue eyes. The unknown woman, smiling sweetly, was the most beautiful person Morris had ever seen.

She was far more beautiful than the rumored Countess of Dallas in the South.

Above all, she was the ideal type he had been searching for until now. Look at that smile that makes you happy just by looking at it!

Perhaps the ruler had bestowed upon him this fortune, which J did not

He had never had a relationship in his life and he was just suffering.

“Miss, I know it’s rude to say this on the first meeting, but if you don’t mind….”

“What?”

“Will you date me?”

There was an awkward silence. Morris swallowed his dry saliva and waited for the woman’s answer.

The woman did not immediately answer. I can understand. Even if you are meeting someone for the first time, you will feel embarrassed if they offer you a relationship.

However, knowing this and saying it at the first meeting was a strong expression of will that could never be missed.

“I ….”

“No !”

When the woman tried to answer, Theo, who was hidden behind, stepped forward and extended his arms to either side.

Theo was still young, so he didn’t know what the word “dating” was. I didn’t even know what that weird brother was saying to Nona.

However, with his animal instincts, he thought that he was stalking his sister.

“Sister is exclusive for Theo!”

At the same time, a calm voice landed in the back of Morris’s head.

“what are you doing here ?”

It was Carcel’s voice. And beside him, Randru stood with an embarrassed face not as usual.

‘Hyuk, when did the duke come? They sure said he’s out.’

Morris was polite in front of Carcel, cold sweat dripping from his forhead.

“Long time no see, duke.”

However, Carcel did not accept his greetings and gave him a cold look.

‘What happened to him?’

Is it because I didn’t greet him as soon as I got here? But that was inevitable because Carcel wasn’t there.

Carcel wasn’t that narrow-minded. But Morris couldn’t figure out why he was behaving this way.

It was Randru who solved Morris’s curiosity. He coughed several times and then pointed his palm at the unknown woman.

“Morris, this is the Duke’s fiancée. Miss Charlotte Lannia, greet her politely.”

ping. An invisible hammer hit Morris hard on the head.

“Fiancée…the Duke….”

Does the duke have a fiancée? No, more than that, did you ask the Duke’s fiancée to date? In front of the duke?

Morris’s face quickly turned red.

It’s ruined my social life.
