"......."

Lelia hesitated and gazed at the basket containing the health restoring medicine.

She just wanted to avoid this situation right now.

Recognizing it, Carius turned his words around as if nothing had happened.

"What is that for? Give it to the people of the castle?"

"...no, I'm going to sell it."

"...What?"

"I'm going to sell it for money."

"What...? Are you trying to make some pocket money?"

At Carius's words, Lelia nodded softly.

"..."

He looked at Lelia with half pride and half pity.

"I'll buy you everything."

"...Really?"

"Well, how much is it?"

Lelia hesitated for a moment before saying.

The money she needed right now was just 500,000 shillings.

"Five... fifty shillings."

She felt sorry to raise the price by 50,000 shillings, but Carius was sure to have a lot of money.

When Lelia noticed, he smiled and said.

"One million shillings, two million shillings, all here."

"...Really?"

"Yes."

Indeed, Carius took out a leather bag from his arms and began to shake off the gold coins.

It was 100,000 shillings per gold coin, so there were dozens of them.

It was well over a million, well over two million, at best.

[Wow...!]

Lelia looked at Carius with sparkling eyes. She thought he was an under-grown adult, but he wasn't. He was a total adult.

"Uncle!"

The corners of his mouth went up at the title that came out of Lelia's mouth. However, as opposed to the corners of his mouth, tears streamed down his eyes.
[T/N: My poor heart T_T]

Lelia was quite taken aback by the bizarre look, but soon followed suit with a smile.

"Let me give you a hug."

Carius stretched out his arm. Lelia approached carefully.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry."

Lelia quietly enjoyed Carius' pat on the back.

There was always a warm scent in the arms of her mother's family.

[I never imagined that all of her mother's family would be my family too.]

Lelia held him still for a long time and managed to open her mouth.

"Actually, you're right. I ran away from the Imperial Castle because I was scared...."

"..."

"Emperor Perseus hates me. I thought he would marry me off to a weirdo. And Cedric, Damien wanted to take their revenge on me..."

"...Why didn't you tell the Emperor the truth? Huh?" Carius asked in a crying voice.

"Because they won't believe me anyway."

Carius couldn't deny that. He didn't even believe in himself, and they wouldn't believe it either.

"How upset would you be? The emperor and his nephews were all upset with you... What I saw was upsetting too. How upset they must have been knowing it all."
