Chapter 31 - Part 1

Erin had never met him before because she had quit before the young master started his class in earnest.

"He was the young master's tutor."

"Oh, I see."

After Marie told Eujes that Erin was also the young master's nanny, a consensus was formed between the three of them.

Erin was excited about this interesting relationship. After her marriage to her husband, the fresh feelings had long since disappeared, and she was delighted by this spectacle.

"If you don't have a party, come eat with us," Erin said, shining her eyes.

Marie would have told her that if Brielle had heard it, he would feel betrayed, though the young master was not with them right now.

"Then... may I join you?"

In the beginning, he came in because he was too hungry on the way home from work, but Eujes, who was embarrassed because he was alone, welcomed the offer happily. On top of that, it meant he could spend a little bit more time with the nanny.

"Are you all right with that, nanny?"

Though he was worried that Marie might not like the idea, Eujes assured her.

"Of course."

For some reason, the back of her head was feeling quite uncomfortable, still, Marie sat in the chair at the table where Eujes had been sitting, saying that she wanted to do this.

Stories blossomed, as if it wasn't the first meeting of the three of them when gathered like this. There was something in common, so the topic of the story was overflowing.

Marie didn't even realize that someone was looking for her anxiously as she was just excited at that moment.

"I found it."

At the Count's office, Taylor reported.

"Where?"

"It was at a restaurant near the market."

In the end, Kentrail reached an inner agreement. He ordered only one person, Taylor, to find the nanny. Fortunately, he found her in an hour, befitting a competent knight.

"Yes... It's a restaurant. Who was she with?"

"She's having a meal with a man..."

Erin was with them, but this misunderstanding occurred because Taylor arrived when she was in the bathroom.

Kentrail waited, soothing his heart, thinking it wouldn't be, but Ellie was right.

"Yes, you can go out."

"Yes."

It was funny. He couldn't believe the man who couldn't even properly grasp his own feelings is now jealous. His reflection in the window was so unsightly.

Taking it all in, Kentrail shut his eyes gently after hearing Taylor closing the door.

He wanted to be cautious about this feeling that had seeped in without knowing. Emotions he had never experienced before bloomed and disappeared in his heart several times a day.

The young boy grew up without knowing what love was in a rapidly changing situation, and he had to become an adult so suddenly. Maybe that was the reason why it wasn't easy to define these feelings he had been experiencing?

The emotions and reality written in many books were all so different. One said the world would be colored pink, but it wasn't.

Even more so, this feeling sometimes reveals a dark side. So, Kentrail had to conceal it more tightly.
