“Here you go!”
Now, as I watched Cardin silently reaching out and receiving Eldora, it felt like I just succeeded in taming a ferocious beast.
“Sigh, I’m tired.”
“…….”
I glanced at Cardin and went to the sofa and sat down, wiping my sweat exaggeratedly.
After bringing flowers to Cardin, I gained some leg muscles and great acting skills.
It’s been a week since I started giving flowers to Cardin every day.
Now I am in a position where I can rest proudly in Cardin’s office.
To be honest, he leaves me sitting quietly and doesn’t say anything at all.
In fact, I haven’t had much conversation with Cardin over the past week.
I unilaterally entered the office, handed the flowers to Cardin, and took a break for a while.
“Ouch…”
While picking flowers earlier, I got wounded on my palm, it was a little painful.
I think I rested moderately, so it was time to leave the office quietly.
“Don’t bring any more.”
“Huh?”
I turned around and looked at Cardin. Cardin kept his eyes fixed on the paper.
What’s wrong with him all of a sudden after receiving it well so far?
“You don’t like flowers?”
“…Yeah. So, stop bringing it. It’s useless.”
Getting up early every morning t
and diligently going to the garden to pick and choose the prettiest Eldora became useless for a moment.
I was angry at him.
“Cardin, you idiot!”
Like the day I first met Kardin, I cursed him in front of him and immediately opened the door and ran away.
I groaned and went back to my room.
I went back to the room, squealing.
“You never even thank me at least once.”
It was very annoying. But I decided to make the “Stick to Cardin Plan” a success.
“See you later. Cardin!!”
The next morning, I didn’t really go to Cardin. Feel the emptiness without me.
When I injured my hand, my nanny treated the wound with a worried face in the world, so I told her I will not go to the garden today.
Nanny also knows that I go to Cardin every day these days.
She gave me a worried look, but I just smiled at her softly.
The nanny took care of me sincerely without saying a word.
“I’ll be back. Nanny.”
I was about to eat lunch and go out.
“Princess. I’ll come with you.”
Nanny followed me as I was about to go out. She seemed to be worried about me.
“Okay! Let’s go together.”
I purposely smiled brighter and left the room with my nanny.
“Nanny, I want to go over there.”
When I went to the office, Cardin wasn’t there, so I asked the servants. They told me he was at the training ground so I went there with the nanny.
I saw Cardin with several knights in the distance.
Forgetting what happened yesterday, I called Cardin with a big smile.
“Cardin!”
I could see the mouths of the nannies and the knights open in shock as they looked at me, calling out a name loudly and waving my hands joyfully.
Of course, Cardin’s face, visible from afar, was still expressionless.
“Cardin!”
Once again, I shouted out Cardin’s name loudly.
I didn’t forget to smile brightly and wave both hands vigorously.
“P, princess…….”
The nanny next to me reached out as if she was in a hurry to stop me, but I ran faster to where Cardin was.
“Hi!”
I greeted Cardin and the knights I saw for the first time.
I smiled as brightly as I could.
“Who is this kid?”
“Look at the head! her hair!”
“Gasp!”
The knights whispered to each other about my identity, but unfortunately their voices were loud enough for everyone to hear.
As the knights looked at my hair in unison, I felt their eyes slowly gathering into my face.
My light purple hair I inherited from Reina.
When I looked in the mirror, I thought that I looked so much like Reina.
I think the only similarity between Kardin and me is our blue eyes.
“What are you doing here? Cardin.”
“…….”
Cardin had one eyebrow slightly raised as if he didn’t like something.
I think I know why he’s like that. But I pretended not to know and kept calling him by his name.
Because it’s fun.
“You are supposed to greet me back when I greet you. Cardin doesn’t even know that?”
“Gasp.”
I could hear the knights next to Cardin swallowing their breath. There wasn’t much reaction from Cardin.
It hasn’t been long since I actually met Cardin, but I was feeling more comfortable than ever.
Kardin’s eyes were cold, but when I looked him in the eyes, emotions other than fear came to me.
In fact, Cardin did not respond much to my actions, but when I think about it, he accepted everything.
“Princess!”
The nanny came running and called me. Soon after, the nanny, who arrived where I and Cardin were, greeted Cardin.
“I greet the duke.”
“…Yeah.”
Cardin did not even accept my greeting, but accepted the nanny’s greeting at once.
“You don’t even get my greetings.”
I grumbled softly in disappointment.
“Oh my. Princess…….”
The nanny looked at me with a look as if she were looking at a troublemaker, but I still wanted to say what I had to say.
“Accept my greetings too!”
I got mad at it and shouted at Cardin once again.
The training ground was engulfed with silence.
As Cardin’s silence grew longer, sweat seemed to form on the cheeks of the knights and nanny who were beside him.
“Look like someone………..”
“Huh? Who do I look like?”
I asked him back, but Cardin didn’t answer.
“It’s dangerous here, so take the child and go back.”
“Yes, I understand.”
At Cardin’s command, the nanny grabbed my hand and hurried back inside the mansion.
However, if I go back like this, I wouldn’t be able to see Cardin until tomorrow.
I reached out to Cardin, who was looking at me, and spoke to him.
“Can’t you come with me?”
Cardin looked at my hand for a moment.
My hand was injured yesterday while picking Eldora, so the nanny applied medicine to treat it and put a bandage on it.
Cardin raised his head and called one of the knights.
“Elvin.”
“Did you call me?”
A knight with dark brown hair answered Cardin’s call.
“I leave today’s training to you.”
“Yes, I understand.”
At that moment, the faces of the knights seemed to be bright.
Contrary to the knights whose expressions became more comfortable, my eye widened at the unexpected encounter.
‘It’s Elvin? Elvin that I know?’
I took a closer look at the face of the knight called Elvin.
The man with dark brown hair and eyes with a Honam-type face seemed to be the Elvin I knew.
Elvin Pasto,
He was the leader of the Knights of Bardion and the most trusted knight of Cardin.
Elvin was excellent in swordsmanship and
Cardin’s most trusted knight.
‘And there’s a reason why he got the title of Bardion’s sword.’
Elvin, seen in the book, was a character who suffered all kinds of hardships with Cardin.
Even when Cardin was in danger due to the plot of imperial nobles, he was smart enough to take the lead in solving things.
Thus, although he was despised by the imperial nobles as Bardion’s dog, no one could speak ill in front of him.
‘I didn’t know I’d see you in person.’
From the moment I met Cardin, I had thought that I could meet other characters in the novels I had read.
“Hello. Princess, I’m Elvin Pasto, the head of the Bardion Order.”
Perhaps because I was looking at him too much, but Elvin noticed and greeted me.
The other knights hurriedly took the courtesy as they knelt on one knee and greeted me.
“Hello. Princess!”
“Hi…”
It was my first time receiving such a sincere greeting, so I was feeling a bit awkward.
The eyes of the knights rolled to and fro as they bowed their heads at an angle.
‘Should I tell you to get up?’
I was struggling in front of the knights, when I heard a voice of salvation.
“I’m going to the office.”
At the end of the word, Cardin turned around and left the training ground.
I raised my head and looked up at the nanny.
‘Now this… Are you saying you want to go with me?’
The nanny’s eyes looked slightly red.
The nanny smiled calmly and nudged my back towards Cardin.
“Go, princess.”
“Yes!”
I ran quickly before Cardin disappeared.
In the meantime, I was able to catch up with Cardin quickly. It was worthwhile to develop my physical strength.
It was fortunate that Cardin’s pace was slow.
I took a breath and walked over to Cardin’s side and looked up carefully.
I still don’t know what he was thinking, but it was the first moment of glory of the “Stick to Cardin Plan”.
After walking for a while, feeling the joy, my legs started to hurt.
anything to grab, I saw the hem of Cardin’s cuff.
I glanced at him and gently grabbed the hem of Cardin’s sleeve.
“……..”
I’m glad I didn’t hear harsh words telling me to let go.
I gripped Cardin’s sleeve a little harder.
Me and Cardin walked quietly forward in that state.
***
Office.
Perhaps because he was holding Cardin’s sleeve just now, his sleeve was crumpled.
Fortunately, Cardin went to the desk in the office without saying a word.
I also buried myself on the couch that I had been accustomed to going to and from the office for the past week.
If I turn my head, I can see Cardin processing documents.
knock, knock
“Duke, I brought you tea.”
The servant with a slightly familiar face pushed the tray in.
The servant left tea and bread on one side of the desk in the office and quickly disappeared.
At that moment, I couldn’t take my eyes off the bread that the servant brought.
Poor kid is probably still starving
Tell him those fkers feed U once a day those mofo child abusing scum
Are they still starving her?! >:0
