I hesitated a little hearing Adrian's question and said with a small voice.
"My name is Leblaine."
"......Leblaine."
He called my name several times and smiled.
"Your name is pretty."
"You're such a fool......"
I keep sighing.
'He's so nice. How can he be that nice?'
I'm really worried about him. There must be harder challenges for him in the future.
I don't know why Adrian's future has changed.
Nothing happened to him, who should have been driven out of the palace for treason by his maternal grandfather, yet he lives with Camilla now.
'Perhaps that's what the emperor asked Camilla to do for Adrian'
Since the palace has no one to protect Adrian.
Of course, the Emperor can't do it because of his position.
If he shows interest in Adrian, Duke Marche will be on alert.
'He have a rough life, but he should fight instead of receiving it like a fool!'
He'll be wrecked if he kept being like this.
"Adrian."
"Yes?"
"Take a seat here."
I sat on the grass and patted on the spot next to me. Adrian sat next to me gently.
"When someone tries to deceive you, you stand up like this and say, 'Are you tired of living?'
"......huh?"
"Follow me. Are you tired of living?"
"Are...... you tired of living?"
"Okay. And smile like a villain.
When I showed him an example of how my dad smiled, Adrian laughed.
"No, no. That's just ugly."
As I spoke to him, Adrian raised the corners of his mouth again.
'Well, it's not enough yet, but alright.'
"Then you say, 'Aren't you scared of your future?"
"Aren't you scared of your future?"
"Okay. And you can't smile anymore. Say 'If you're not lucky, it wouldn't end with your limbs chopped.'"
"If you're not lucky, it wouldn't end with your limbs chopped."
"Great! Now try saying them together."
"Are you tired of living? Aren't you scared of your future? If you're not lucky, it wouldn't end with your limbs chopped."
"It's..."
Just then,
"Lady?"
I could hear my godmother's voice from a distance.
I got up quickly and said to Adrian.
"Next time I'll teach you how to threaten more frighteningly. Practice it, okay?"
"......will you come again next time?"
"Yes. I'll come here often."
Adrian smiled beautifully.
