The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Then Ninaina laughed and muttered as if she was happy that she had got it correct.

“Well, it’s because I have a deep knowledge of music. I’ve been studying liberal arts for several years. So, as soon as I heard it, I immediately knew what it was.”

Then, Nicholas suddenly asked, perhaps still having any doubts.

“But a serenade? I didn’t know that Lord Cedric would know such a song. That’s unexpectedly romantic.”

“I know. Well, there seems to be someone who he wants to play the serenade for.”

Maya agreed with Nicholas’ words and added a word.

Then Cedric was startled.

Like his inner thoughts have been revealed.

‘But somehow, it seemed that Cedric’s gaze had stopped on my side until just now. Is it an illusion?’

I tilted my head.

But the very next moment, seeing Cedric’s eyes looking elsewhere, I forgot about it, thinking I must have just looked at it wrong.

“Well, it’s just…… I just practiced this song by chance, not with the intention of wanting to give it to someone.”

Cedric cleared his throat and turned his head slightly.

But I see it.

Cedric’s left hand wiggled slightly.

“Lies.”

At that moment, I muttered unknowingly.

Of course, it was just a small talk.

Why would he lie?

Cedric’s wiggling his left hand was a habit he did when he was lying to hide a mistake or embarrassment, although he probably didn’t know it.

I’ve seen it for close to 10 years, so I couldn’t not know.

I knew very well the mannerisms of those around me.

“…… !”

It was obviously a small voice, but somehow, it seems that only Cedric heard my muttering.

His eyes subtly widened.

“…….”

Cedric, who was staring blankly at me with his lips slightly open, turned his head again in less than five seconds.

Perhaps he was ashamed to have been caught lying.

I smiled at Cedric and thought.

‘Even such a feisty Cedric finally found someone he likes. I don’t know her well, but he must be a good person.’

I suddenly became curious.

‘Who is the other person? Academy student too?’

Does that other person like Cedric?

Or is it Cedric’s own unrequited love?

‘Well, even though Cedric looks rough on the outside, he’s actually kind and has a meticulous side.’

Besides, even if I objectively see him as a friend, he is very handsome, befitting of the sub-male lead of the original work.

‘So if the other person recognizes you like that, you will definitely be able to do well. Cedric.’

I cheered for Cedric in my heart.

And I decided to stop at this point.

Cedric doesn’t seem to want to reveal it, and I don’t have any intention of digging out my friend’s secret either.

Afterwards we had a great time at Cedric’s villa.

Eating and drinking happily, occasionally running around outdoors like when we were kids.

At night, before going to sleep, I chat with Ninaina and Alice in the bedroom.

Even though time seemed to go slowly, when I looked at the calendar, I felt sorry for the time that flew by so quickly.

And after 2 weeks.

It was the last day before finally leaving Cedric’s villa.

We decided to do something very special today.

That is, to bury the time capsule in the backyard of Cedric’s villa.

It started with my suggestion a few days ago.

“How about we bury a time capsule?”

“A time capsule? What is that?”

“Ah, I heard, Emir. To bury things with memories and open them later?”

“Oh, is that really true?”

I nodded my head at their question.

“That’s right. Each of us puts one thing that we value. And when you become an adult in 10 years, you open it! How is it?””

“That’s good.”

“Yes, that sounds like a good idea. This could be a memory too.”

Everyone agreed with me.

At that time, I remembered the part that I hadn’t thought of before.

“…… Oh, but what if it rots?”

Since there is no such thing as vinyl in this world, I wondered if anything I buried would rot and become soil or scrap metal over the course of 10 years.

But there was someone who solved my worries.

It was Jake.

“Don’t worry, Mir.”

“Huh?”

“I will use preservation magic. This is what I specialize in.”

“Ah really? That’s a relief. Come to think of it, you could use magic. Thank you so much, Jake!”

I smiled happily.

Yes, that’s how it happened.

It was unexpected that we would gather together in hot weather and dig under the tree in the backyard of the villa.

“Haa, it’s so hard. Brother, I told you to do so when the knights said they would help.”

Ninaina grumbled, but sweated hard as she scooped up the soil with a shovel.

Contrary to her usual elegant outfit, she was digging in the ground with her riding pants rolled up, and unlike her words, she had a somewhat rewarding expression on her face.

“Gasp, gasp. I’m sorry, Nina. Not only everyone…… You are suffering because of me. Call the knights now…….”

Meanwhile, Nicholas seemed quite out of his power.

Well, since he was confined to bookshelves and desks every day, it can’t be helped.

‘Nicholas, in the original story, was obviously good at work and smart, but he also had excellent stamina! What happened!’

After changing the original story, this minor(?) problem arose.

Somehow, it occurred to me that Nicholas would need to do some physical training with Cedric in the future.

Surprisingly, Maya and Jake did a good job.

After hearing Nicholas talk to himself, Maya murmured anxiously.

“I’m almost done, but won’t it look too bad to summon the knights now, Your Highness?”

Nicholas answered and at the same time lost his balance with the shovel.

“Haa, is that so……. Then I can’t help it. I will try. Huh.”

“…….”

Alice silently straightened Nicholas.

“Uhh, everyone is so back. What are you going to do if you can’t do this?”

Cedric, the owner of the land, grumbled, but was finishing the job without showing any sign of exhaustion.

In fact, most of the digging was done by Cedric.

Should I say everything?

He did not seem to be exaggerating when he said that digging the ground with bare hands was possible while practicing camp with the Knights.

‘If there is a crane in this world, I think it would be Cedric.’

Everyone seems to be having a hard time, so I put down the shovel and went into the villa to get several bottles of cool water from the maid.

“Here, everyone here, drink some water!”

“Oh, thank you.”

“I’ll drink well, Mir.”

Everyone seemed to be thirsty, so they emptied the water in the glass bottle in an instant.

Fortunately, after drinking water and reenergizing, we soon dug a deep pit.

Ninaina said with a lot of excitement.

“Now, put the box with each person’s time capsule here. Build it up step by step.”

Only they knew what was in the box.

Everyone seemed to be putting items containing their memories, but their expressions were vague.

“Okay, it’s all buried.”

Cedric, who piled up the dug soil again and leveled it up with a shovel, wiped the beads of sweat from his face with a proud face.

Then he turned around and muttered to himself.

“Oh, is there any water left?”

“Here you are!”

There was only one water bottle left, so I handed it to Cedric.

“…… ah. Thanks, Emir.”

It seemed like he didn’t know that someone would answer him because he was talking to himself.

Cedric hesitated for a moment, then smiled brightly and accepted the water bottle I handed him.

“…… foohhh, how refreshing.”

Then, in the blink of an eye, he poured water over his head?

I opened my eyes wide in surprise.

At the same time, he met eyes with Cedric, who was brushing his wet red hair.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Cedric asked curiously.
