Tamed The ML's Father

CHAPTER 4.2

'Well, after all it's too much'

I think I should be careful from now on.

A yawn came out of my mouth again.

'Ah~ I'm so sleepy.'

The maid laid me in the cradle, looking at me with such dreamy eyes. As soon as the pillow touched my head, my eyes slowly closed.

When I was about to fall asleep again, I heard Devarus' crying from afar.

"UWAAAAA!!"

Ah! It's noisy again. I'm so sleepy. What now?

Suddenly, I heard the door opening and someone appeared.

The aura of the figure is overwhelming the maids, I could already guess who he is.

'Maybe the Lord is here'

As I expected, The Master of the Castle, Agnos Ardellos has arrived

Agnos had been outside till a while ago. He came straight into the room and was greeted by Devarus' tremendous amount of crying.

"*hick* Uwaaaa! HUWAAAA!!"

".."

"waa!! *hick* UWAAA!"

"So noisy."

Was all his reaction.

His cold and indifferent voice almost made me feel sorry for Devarus.

'That's your son right there.. Why so cold?'

That's when I remember the thing that forgotten.

The Ardellos family was famous for its throughout spartan education.

A subordinate contract was at stake between the family owner, Ardellos, and his successor.

In other words, Agnos does not regard blood relation, not even his own son.

For them, kinship was only a thing that had to be trained well to keep the place of the patriarch.

There was no more or less meaning. If they did not meet satisfactory qualities, they are to be abandoned without mercy.

like me...

'That's... terrible.'

I frowned at the memory of the past.

That's how I saw Devarus. He's only a small child now, but soon enough he'll also be tested by his qualities.

Then, those who commit common crimes to succeed the family will have to endure many hardships that they will never have dreamed.

When I thought of Devarus, who will be raised as the sole successor, I felt a little sorry for him.

'Oh? Why am I worrying for somebody?'

It is useless to whom I sympathize in the first place,

I am about to run away from Devarus.

But I caught Agnos staring at me, perhaps he has been looking at me for a while now that our eyes met.

As soon as he gazed me with a cold glance, his eyes became tender in a second.

He whispered to me in a friendly voice. I grabbed on his neck as he carried me as I was elicited the desire to answer was so serious.

"baby?"

At his call I shouted reflexively.

"Ppa ppa ppa pa-ppa-ppa"

My Life saver!

I shouted 'Papa' desperately.

When asked if 'Papa' was the only way for me to survive this life, I would say Yes!

This dangerous cohabitation had to go on at least until I could escape.

At that moment, there was a small smile on Agnos' lips. Of course, the maids' facial expressions were stiff at the same time.

****

The castle was in a chaos. There was only one reason why they were surprised.

"The master brought a child!! No! a baby!!"

In fact, he was not interested to his own son, Devarus. To be exact, it was more right to say that he appears that he dislike his own son!

In the past, the Lord had to show his face to his son once a day. The Lord turned coldly away when Devarus burst into tears.

In addition, he had never held a child tenderly! The maids felt sorry for the unloved young master.

But it was inevitable.

An ordinary family would say "What kind of father is that?",

But the Ardellos familly was not a normal family to begin with.

They had the mission to protect this continent. And that mission does not includes personal feelings, but, established discipline with his own blood.

'Ardellos Clan obey their lord unconditionally. It works more strongly as the blood is thicker.'

In other words, the two were bound by blood.

To the master, it is only felt as a terrifying limit that the lord must obey, let alone be seen as a father. So it was clear that the young master was also instinctively frightened.

He's just a few months old.

The situation forced the two to deepen their rift. the maids manage to raise the steward with a belief that they should not offend the Lord.

Around that time, a baby came into the hands of the Lord. It was even a baby who looked at him and shouted "ppa ppa ppa ppa ppa"

It was hard to believe!

The aura he was emitting to protect the land was not something a baby cold handle.

The baby in the Lord's arms is crying non stop, must be terrified by the lord.But what surprised me most was seeing the Lord soothing the baby, comforting it, which is something he never did to his own son!

There was no separate nursery room, so I had to take care of her in the same room as the young master. But at the same time, I just wanted to do so.

No one knew how she came into the hands of the lord. The prevailing opinion was that he could not have just turned a blind eye to the suffering child who was in the snow garden alone.

So it was a job to raise them appropriately and send them to work or adopt them, It was a great honor to be raised by Agnos Ardellos.

However, their assessment quickly changed.

It was after the so called 'Papa' incident.
