Chapter 10

“Are you scared of the grand duke and the young masters? Do you feel it instinctively?”

“Pawdon……?”

“This is an internal matter, but……”

Lucy looked a bit hesitant.

Well, as a servant, she can’t just speak lightly about her masters.

“They are really good people.”

However, it seems that Lucy doesn’t want to hide it from me.

She told me about the Vailot’s curse.

“Everyone is afraid of the Vailots, probably because of their energy.”

(T/N: The energy that Lucy meant here is the curse, she just made the word sound softer or not as harsh as the word ‘curse’, since Shuelina is still a child.)

“Ah……”

“They were worried that you might’ve gotten sick because you spent a lot of time with them.”

‘That’s not it.’

The cause that the doctor told me was different.

How much did Wyndert and Deleign worry that their curse was the reason I got sick?

The Grand Ducal Family of Vailot is a family that was cursed up to its current generation. Because of that curse, everyone was afraid of the Vailot’s direct lineage.

Even the people who have known them for a long time did not dare to express their feelings in fear of how the Vailots might react.

Wyndert and Deleign must be sensitive to that kind of treatment. I felt a pang on my chest when I thought about how lonely these children must’ve been.

“I wasn’t scawed at aw. On the contwawy, I was happy that evewyone was so nwice to me.”

(I wasn’t scared at all. On the contrary, I was happy that everyone was so nice to me.)

I shook my head at Lucy and denied it.

‘I can’t let that happen. I don’t want those two to get hurt by a misunderstanding like this!’

I jumped off the stool and rushed out of the bathroom.

‘Please listen to me carefully.’

Near the bathroom stood Wyndert and the grand duke with nervous expressions. Their expressions turned to surprise when I jumped out of nowhere.

“Shushu?”

“Bwothe Wyngdy didn’t weally want to avoid me eawie. You nweve held hands with anyone befowe, so you avoided my hand.”

(Brother Wyndy didn’t really want to avoid me earlier. You never held hands with anyone before, so you avoided my hand.)

Wyndert’s cheeks flushed as he opened his mouth to protest.

I guess I’m happy that he didn’t do it because he disliked me.

“I wike the gwand duke. I wike Bwothe Wyngdy. I wike Bwothe Dew. I wike Wucy.”

I grabbed the grand duke’s hands. I was very eager to hold his hands for some reason.

His big hands, as if they knew what my heart wanted, wrapped my hands completely.

The grand duke, who hesitated for a moment, held them gently and stared into my eyes.

“This pwace is nice, and the pweope that wive hewe awe awso nice. It feews wike heaven compawed to the owphanage.”
