Somehow, his nose stung at the excessive love.

Then, something came up on the bed sheet.

“Kiing, kiing.”

“I’m sorry.
Was it very annoying?”

Ejed raised his body and stroked the monster that was staring at him.
The monster rubbed its cheek and even squinted its eyes.

Why would it be annoying? Ejed felt guilty for letting the monster go through the same thing as he did.

“I’ll promise.
I’ll do my best not to let this happen in the Imperial Palace.”

“Kiing, kiing.”

“And your name is…”

As if the monster understood it, it looked up at Ejed.

Looking into its eyes full of hope, Ejed smiled broadly.

“Sev.”

“Kiing, kiing.”

“Thank you, Sev.”

Sev stirred and moved around the room as if its mood had improved.

“Stop.
Everyone’s resting; you shouldn’t make a fuss.”

“Kiing.”

With its tail lowered, Sev came up to Ejed and rubbed its body.

Then, a knock rang.

Knock, knock.

‘Who is it?’

Ejed, who hid Sev in his arms, ordered them to come in.

It was Annie who came with a large pillow.
Wearing a long nightdress, she smiled when she saw Ejed.

“You haven’t slept yet?”

“…”

“Jade?”

“Uh, uh.
Go ahead.”

Annie tilted her head as Ejed quickly lowered her gaze, and she murmured.

‘Do you have a fever?’

Through the candlelight, his cheeks were reddish.

Startled as Annie approached, he crept over to the edge of the bed.

‘I was about to talk.’

Annie, who was slightly saddened, rolled her eyes.
Annie would spend the night with Carla’s children when she occasionally saw them.

So she came here to get to know Jade even more, but he seemed uncomfortable.

“I-I’m a little tired.”

‘I can’t help it if he’s so uncomfortable… .’

Annie, who had given up, left the bed and told him to rest well.

Then Ejed, who was left alone, let out a heavy sigh.

“Huuuuuuuuuuu…”

This broke his heart.
Ejed murmured that he had to turn this around quickly.

As the morning dawned, Annie hurriedly stood in front of the mirror.

“Carla.
Today is a comfortable dress for activities, ah.
It should be dark.”

She might get it on the dress while playing with a child.
Carla gave a strange expression to Annie’s specific order, which was different from usual.

Her master was very caring towards children, but she cherished even a child who resembled the tyrant.

“You must have been very close with His Majesty during the times you went to the Imperial Palace without me?”

“It’s not a bad relationship.”

Annie, who asserted, was also surprised.
Carla tilted her head and moved her hand vigorously.

Annie, having finished her dressing up, quickly stood in front of Ejed’s room.
She was with Carla.

Knock, knock.

“Jade, are you awake?”

“Yes.”

“May I come in?”

“Hmm.”

Annie opened the doorknob at the voice behind the door.
When did he get up and shower? She saw a well-dressed boy.

She wore a simple shirt and trousers rather than an imperial robe, and the child looked like a shiny jewel.

The child said awkwardly.

“Good morning.”

Carla, standing behind Annie, squinted at Ejed.

‘He’s adorable.’

Up close, he looked even younger.
Carla’s expression softened noticeably.

“I don’t know if he’s about the same age as my kids?”

It reminded her of the rabbit-like children she left behind at home.
Then, hesitantly, Ejed raised his hand.

“Good morning, Carla.”

‘Did you hear my name beforehand? Oh no.
This is too much.’

“Yes.
Good morning, Young Master Jade!”

Carla was delighted.
Annie had roughly introduced her yesterday, but she didn’t expect him even to remember her name.

Her eyes twinkled as she watched Annie and the child’s back as they walked side by side.

The footsteps of the child walking down the hallway were tight.
She also liked the voice he calmly answered Annie.

‘Hey.
You look smart.”

Carla quickly fell in love with Jade.
Because he was a royal family member, she wondered what she would do if an arrogant guy came, but he was very polite.

Even in the dining room, he was always eager to answer questions from the family, making him even more noticeable.

Unlike the children who used to whine all the time, Jade was so well-behaved.

‘They said it would be rather strange if they didn’t get into trouble… ‘

She was just concerned; perhaps he suffered domestic violence from the tyrant.

Carla finished her meal, climbed the stairs, and grabbed Annie’s sleeve, and dragged her.

“My Lady, wait a minute.”

“Huh? Do you have something to say?”

“Did anything bad happen to Master Jade?”

As expected, Carla’s personality was very urgent.
After thinking for a while, Annie quietly answered.

“I still don’t know well.
Still, it wouldn’t have been too bad.
His Majesty would have taken care of him.”

“His Majesty?”

Carla’s voice was full of disbelief.
Carla was full of prejudice as she hadn’t even had a proper conversation with Ejed.

Annie asserted to Carla not to imagine anything strange.
As her master climbed the steps, she sighed as she was left alone.

“Haa.
My Lady is surprisingly naive…”

Depressed, Carla burst the window open.

Then she saw a boy squatting in the corner of the mansion’s garden.

‘Sir Jade?’

Carla went straight downstairs to him.

Jade was quickly found.
He was curled up in the corner of the garden.

“Young Master, what are you doing here?”

“Ah…”

Surprised, Ejed blinked his big eyes.
However, Ejed’s hair and clothes were covered with black things.

Carla wiped his face thoroughly.

“Ugh, what is this?”

“I’ll do it.”

“Young Master, this is also my job.”

“No.
Carla should take care of Annie, not me.”

The scolding child was so cute that Carla burst out laughing at him.

Ejed asked with a worried face.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Hoo.
It’s nothing.
Oh my, the Lady there is coming down.”

Ejed, who quickly turned his head to the side, looked at Annie.

‘It’s Miss Annie!’

As his mouth opened with joy, Carla smiled and stood up.

Annie, who found the two of them, also approached them.

“What were you doing here? Why does Young Master Jade look like this again…”

Annie clicked her tongue at the dark stain on his pale face.

‘You shouldn’t have frightened the child.’

‘When did I?’

‘Go.’

‘Hmmm.
That’s what I’m saying.’

“Carla, wait a minute.
Today, Sir Jade has an engagement with me.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

At the master’s command, Carla left the place.

Annie, holding Ejed’s hand, said there is a place with few human eyes, and she took him.

“Have you decided on a name for the child?”

“Hmm.”

“…”

“Sev.”

Thinking of it as a name she had heard a lot before, it really sounded like ‘Dsev’.

“…Did you like our family?”

“Sev and I like the Dsevs…”

As he hesitated to answer, the monster in his arms said, ‘Kiing!’ and revealed its head.

Annie shuddered at the sight.

C-Cute!

There were two lovely creatures in front of her.

Annie, who stroked the monster, said with a smile.

“Jade, go on a picnic with me.”

“…”

A picnic with Annie.

It was an offer that was difficult to refuse, so Ejed held his breath.

‘However… I have to go back… I can’t do any more damage…”

“I made a reservation.
You want to go?”

“…”

“Right?”

Annie’s face was filled with conviction that she would not be rejected.
