Surely Lloyd had certainly doubted that a few times.

However,

“Isn’t that why you wanted to keep her by your side because you thought it was the child’s ability?”

“Stop the nonsense.”

Sparks flew from the boy’s eyes.

It was the eyes that had completely broken the string of reason that had been holding on to it, though narrowly.

“What burden are you afraid of carrying on a child who has never even felt a warm touch?”

He couldn’t hide his threatening energy at all this time.

To the extent that a jaguar wandering nearby reacts to its owner’s threatening energy and shows its teeth wildly.

“You’re forcing her to repay the favor?”

“What?”

“So are you doing that?”

Lloyd let out a smirk.

“It’s none of my business. Whether that child has any special abilities or not. Even if she’s a protective shield, I’ll never use it.”

“…..”

“Don’t even dream of it. If so, I will inherit the title of Grand Duke immediately.”

Lloyd means that if Tristan made fun of him carelessly, he’ll kill him.

Has he ever seen such a bastard?

But Tristan was used to the situation.

He knew and was accustomed to Lloyd’s desire to kill him, so he only replied with a crooked smile.

“Aria, just touch it.”

Lloyd left without looking back.

The jaguar, assimilated with its owner’s feelings, growled and threatened once, then followed the boy.

“He has a good brain, but he’s very misunderstood. Is it because he was young?”

About the time Lloyd was completely out of sight, Tristan tilted his head and wondered so.

“He has a tendency to judge hastily.”

“It’s because he’s still not good at anything. And you said something that could be misunderstood.”

“I knew he was going to be. It’s cute.”

“Then you’ll really be killed.”

Is that cute? Lloyd’s intention to kill was sincere.

When that day comes, it is very likely that he will pierce Tristan’s chest with his sword and say, ‘I’m getting your title, Father.’

Dwayne thought he would never understand his master for the rest of his life, no, even in his death.

“I was just wondering if the kid had that long-sought after key in Garcia.”

Tristan muttered a little.

“Yes?”

Dwayne, who had not heard, asked.

Then Tristan spoke up.

“That’s enough to marry my daughter.”

“Who is whose daughter….”

That’s your son over there.

The Grand Duke’s lieutenant no longer bothered to refute, so he shook his head.
