“No, it’s my fault.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“Clearly, this happened because I taught something wrong. Uncle was right. I can’t even dream of magic without uncle…”
Roland’s shoulders slumped. Karina was momentarily speechless. Roland has always surprised her, but never as much as he does now. She chooses her words slowly. She was afraid that she would hurt Roland’s heart even more by trying to comfort him.
“But I’m fine!”
Suddenly, Melissa screamed and pushed Roland away. Karina was startled and called out to Melissa.
“Melissa!”
Karina wasn’t the only one who was surprised. Roland also looked at Melissa with his eyes wide open. Melissa just pushed him away, but she didn’t look angry or sarcastic at all. Melissa shouted at Roland in a sharp voice.
“Why, why Roland is saying it’s your fault? I’m fine!”
“Melissa!”
Roland freaked out and shouted.
“It was mom’s first time learning! I should’ve done better! Uncle…”
Melissa’s lips trembled as soon as Lord Renke’s story came out.
“Always uncle, uncle! If you like uncle so much, go back right now!”
(T/N: Damn, I know they’re fighting but why does it sound like a couple arguing HAHA)
“What did you just say?”
Karina had no idea how to deal with this situation.
It was because she had never argued with another child when she was young, and she understood both Melissa’s and Roland’s position and didn’t want to scold either side.
The reason Roland blamed himself was understandable. Teaching Karina and Melissa magic was the first step out of Lord Lenque’s shadow.
Since that first step failed, it wasn’t unreasonable to think that Roland himself had a problem. And Melissa…
‘Melissa is more concerned about Roland than I am. The most precious person to Melissa is Roland.’
It didn’t feel bad at all. It was rather fortunate. There’s nothing more bitter than being the culprit that separates siblings from each other.
But she couldn’t just let the children fight. In fact, while Karina was lost in thought, the quarrel between the two children was getting out of control.
“Roland, Melissa.”
After making the decision, Karina called the children in a stern voice.
“…”
“…”
The two children kept their mouths shut and glared at each other as if they had made a promise.
“Let’s talk one by one. Melissa, what’s the matter?”
“…Roland is wrong.”
“No, Melissa is wrong!”
Karina sighed. It’s rather a question without an answer, so she wishes she could say that both of them were right and give them a warm hug. But for now, she had to take Melissa’s side.
“Mr. Wilder explained everything. It’s absolutely not Roland’s fault.”
Roland didn’t look upset at all, even though Karina had given Melissa a hand. Rather, he just opened his eyes wide and looked at Karina.
