Forcefully Included in the Story

Clueless Regina

Upon learning the shocking truth, Leonia and Adlyn look for Cara.

"Grandma Cara!"

"Madam Cara!"

Cara is giving the servants instructions when she sees Adlyn and Leonia running and looking for her, then smiles kindly at her.

"You can't run. You could get hurt."

"Mister told me we are going to get our noses broken."

"And it doesn't mean he raises his voice to us."

"But I'm not used to that kind of attitude."

"Master is a good person instead of someone who does everything he wants."

Cara only asked them why they were looking for her after a gentle nudge.
Leonia clinches Cara's clothes, sick from all the nagging.

"It's a secret story."

She whispers, her hands covering her mouth in case anyone else heard her.

"A big secret!"

Adlyn tried to whisper but ends up being louder than Leonia. He places a finger on his smiling lips and winks at her.

Cara's and the servants' faces warms up.

After sending the servant at the request of their young lady, Cara, Adlyn and Leonia enter the nearby servant lounge.

Fortunately, no one was resting there because everyone is currently working.

"What are you looking for me for?"

She asks them, wrapping a blanket around their bodies just in case it was cold.

"Mister just told me something."

"What is it?"

"The one who gave birth to me."

"Ah, then... What?"

Cara's eyes widen as if they are about to pop out. Leonia is taken aback by the wrinkles around her eyes, which had stretched out as if she had just brushed them.

"He said that to the Lady and Your Excellency?"

"Yes."

They nod.

"Mister told us that his cousin gave birth to me."

"H-how did he check that?"

"The fangs of a beast."

Her tiny fingers point at her round black eyes.

"I have it, too."

Adlyn also points at his wide yellow eyes.

"......"

"Someone who gave birth to Leonia has it-."

"....."

"Grandma, are you crying?"

Surprised by the dripping tears, Adlyn and Leonia jump up and wave their arms.

Cara takes off her round glasses and wipes her wet eyes with her gloved hands.

Just as her blurry eyes become clear again, the children, who are worried about her, come closer.
