Next day

As Lelia saw Romeo had come to her room to play, she felt seriously troubled.

Something is wrong, and not by a small margin.

"Why are you here?"

"To play with my Captain."

When Lelia woke up in the morning and washed up, Romeo was already there. Romeo was lying down on the sofa and was reading a book, and when she looked at it closely, it was a humorous book that was only sold in a bookstore downtown.

Phew

She thought he was reading something weird. She was surprised to know that she was expecting to find something like an obscene book.

Well, this child is only 10 years old... I have a rotten mind!

Lelia awkwardly reached out for the snacks on the table. It looks like Romeo was the one who bought it.

"Are you having fun reading it?"

"Would you like to read it, Captain?"

Romeo handed her the other book next to him, and Lelia opened the book saying, "It's childish, what's so funny about it?"

Then, after a while, Leila's laugh filled the room. Romeo looked at her with a pathetic expression.

It was then.

Knock knock

The sound of knocking on Lelia's door was heard.

'Who is it?'

The only person who usually visits her room was the priest. He used to wait for Lelia's permission to come in, but it was quiet on the other side of the door. Lelia looked at Romeo who was sitting across the table from her. After a pause, Romeo sighed and quickly got up and headed towards the door.

'Well. I didn't even tell you to do it, but you're good. Doesn't he look like a real subordinate? It's a bit comfortable...?'

Yes, she has to stay here for at least 3 years. And it will be quite comfortable if she has a subordinate.

"Huh?"

But it was an unexpected person who opened the door.

"I thought the priest had come to pray..."

Since the children living here are either members of royal families, or aristocrats, the priests were troubled. They did not force nor control any activities, unless the children fought or went out.

Except for a certain activity.

That specific activity is to encourage the children to get closer to one another and unite. In other words, it was like getting together like in an athletic meet. Anyways, it was obvious that most of the time is free time. Sometimes the priests used to come and ask us to come out to pray, only when we stayed in our room for too long.

"What? You?"

It was Oscar who came to Lelia's room. He, who had collapsed and was trembling yesterday.

"I am asking you something. What are you doing here, kid? Is your mouth closed? Do you want me to open it?"

Romeo! You are...!

Lelia was embarrassed.

Romeo grew up with sweet parents... Where the hell did he learn to say such things?

But despite Romeo's expression and questions, Oscar looked at him with a blank face. Oscar is so small and thin that he looked much smaller than Romeo. He looked even smaller than me.
