Chapter 44: 44
Gasp. Then run! But my body moved on its own by that voice. Gaaasp. This voice!
The boy opened his mouth trying to say something when I sat stood up. But me hiding myself was faster.
"Isekiel, there you were."
He showed himself when I hid myself behind the bush.
"Father."
"What were you doing alone?"
What did you do, you Lucas idiot! That\'s mr. White dog! Then that means he is actually Isekiel!
"I was finding Jennet."
And this is Alfius mansion! Wahhh. Jennet, he said Jennet. They say Jennet is here! And mr. White dog and Isekiel is infront of me!
"Seems like that kid ran off again."
How dare that crazy Lucas throw me into mr. White dog\'s dog house?
I held my breath in in case mr. White dog find me. Isekiel won\'t spoil what just happened, right?
Fortunately though he only gave me a glimpse that weren\'t noticable to his dad, and did not seem to tell him about me either.
"It is understandable she is sad that her older brother like being is going away for years."
Duke Alfius said that as he clicked his tongue. Seems like Jennet is sad that Isekiel is leaving.
Uh, umm. But don\'t be worried Jennet. Because your shining prince in armour is going to come back as a number one husband that women would want to have.
I was being amazed thinking of the face of the boy but soon frowned when I realized he looked awfully like mr. White man.
No, since the versions different, wouldn\'t he not look like mr. White dog in the future?
"But didn\'t I say you don\'t need to comfort her in each and every thing?"
I was focused and interested in their talk.
"That kid is also a precious treasure to us Alfius family but you are more. I believe you as my son know this already."
"Yes. I didn\'t forget."
Wow. Look at that man. What a nice education he gives to his son. I mean he could think that but he didn\'t have to say that directly to a 10 year old.
I listened feeling weird that I was overhearing their conversation.
"Even so I\'ll come back in searching more. As fathrr said I am going to leave soon so I should comfort her before I leave."
Isekiel was still calm in this situation. He is 10 years old but why does he seem like an a.d.u.l.t? He had a really cute expression a while ago.
"Sure. You\'ll do good. I believe in you."
And Roger Alfius left.
The area auddey turned quiet. The sound of leaves dancing was clearly heard. I was just sweatdropping as I couldn\'t find the timing to leave.
"...Are you still there?"
Just then, Isekiel\'s careful voice was heard. It was very careful as if he was a hunter in front of an animal.
"I couldn\'t take it all at once the sudden event because I am still not mature. Perhaps you are hurt, pri...."
"A-angel doesn\'t get hurt by such a thing."
Can you please check if my limbs are okay...? I cannot do anything about my limbs cringing.
But I can\'t say I am a princess. How would I explain falling down in the air to the duke mansion?
"...an angel?"
Ack, what, you are the one who called me an angel first! And you want me to say that word again? In this age?
"*clears throat* . Yeah. And an angel cannot show her face to people a lot or too close. So stop there and don\'t come any closer."
There was silence for a moment after my courageous statement.
What\'s up woth your reaction? Even though you sre mature, you\'re still a kid. You are the one who said I was an angel. So just be tricked by me like a kid, wahh.
Y-you didn\'t notice my real identiy, did you?
Then I heard a pfft sound.
"An angel..."
S- shoot. I bet my snacks at him not believing me.
My face was red. Wouldn\'t a person who sees this laugh with a tomato red face.
Eek. But why does this cute kid who called me an angel acting like this? I didn\'t forget yet. That you called me an angel with that 2 eyes wide and round!
"Cough, cough. Why do you act as you didn\'t know? It was you who called me an angel in the first place?"
"That...."
Isekiel seemed to be speechless. Yeah, try me. Let\'s see how you answer. But it was only silence. Hmm? Why is it so quiet?
Rustle.
And I peeked out from the bush to see him. And I held my breath looking at him.
Isekiel was fidgetting, with a bright face being embarrassed.
It was cute to see a boy who was acting mature till now being embarrased.
This is not good. He is too cute!
I acted the way I did when I first saw Blackie. I was happy to see a person being embarrassed after seeing stubborn people only for too long.
He is a 10 year old after all seeing from this point. Kuckk. But why do you have to be mr. White dog\'s son?
"I will stay here since you had said not to come closer."
Isekiel seemed to be embarrased at his actions. Then he would sit down on a place close to me.
"How did lady angel come here?"
Wahh I need more stronger mentality! Everything cringes!
I sat down covwring my face with my hands and knees.
"That is a secreeeet...."
Wahh, why do I feel like I am making dark history of me every time?! I don\'t want this!
Isekiel would obly try to hold his laughter and mutter \'Is that so\'. And we didn\'t talk for a while. A bug crying was heard. Is it only me who\'s uncomfortable of this silence? I thought for a while before breaking the silence.
"Just leave me alone and go find your sister."
Now how do I get back. I hope there won\'t be a case where I have to ask mr. White dog for help.
Why won\'t that black idiot take me away already. Ahh, I don\'t know.
"By sister...."
"Jennet. You said you were finding her."
"So you heard it all."
Isekiel spoke and I thought for the words I should speak carefully.
Ah. Now that I think of it, Isekiel would be surprised if I met Jennet right now.
What will you do to Jennet\'s gem eyes? There should be a way to hide it since me. White dog introduces Jennet to Claude hiding the gem eyes but it might not be ready right now.
"I was actually hesitating to find her because I though of her crying all by herself."
But Isekiel\'s answer was completely out of my expectations. I don\'t know if that is true but okay. I asked acting I didn\'t hear the conversation between Isekiel and his dad.
"Why would she cry?"
"I am leaving this place soon. I think she is sad about that."
"Hmm. Seems like that girl likes her oppa a lot."
Isekiel stayed quiet. I became more curious of his answers.
"Umm, how is Jennet like?"
It was because there weren\'t too much about their past in the novel. Well she must\'ve been cute when she was little as well, right?
But I became dumbfounded at his next words.
"A girl whom I should protect."
Those are not words a kid should say. I came to panick at the words as if it was already decided in first place.
"Then aren\'t you supposed to comfort her?"
Isekiel didn\'t speak a while after my words. Did I say something I wasn\'t supposed to say?
"Our kid."
And I didn\'t get what he meant by his next words.
"I don\'t know how I should."
Gosh. And what kind of concern is this? Did you just make up those words to break the awkwardness?
I couldn\'t believe in his words and trued to see his face thorough the bush. But this is real. He\'s serious. Wack, look at that face showing embarrassment.
It was a bit funny. In <Lovely Princess, Isekiel was described as a cool person just like a male lead, but who knew he was a boy in concern of such a cute problem.
Wahh, I want to tease him! And bother him! I didn\'t know I liked to do these stuff. Uwuuu.
"Prin.... How does other people comfort lady angel that makes you stop crying?"
I lifted my head up at his question.
Ah, finally a question I can answer confidentally!
