IBRV (Novel) Chapter 46


C46

I felt a bit bewildered by the sudden call, but I came because I thought we should meet at least once...

"Did I come here for no reason?"

After all, it might have been better to come in Erno Etham's arms.

“ You!
"

“ Yes!
"

“ How dare you run away without answering my question?!
"

“ It's not because I wanted to leave...
"

However, I was so scared, and when I wished for it inside, I suddenly found myself in a different place.

“ Yes, was it good to run away from home? You could have simply said no. Why go through so much trouble after running away? Huh? Why were you dragged to an underground auction?!
"

......

I tightly closed my eyes in response to the complaints and scolding coming from his throat.

It's true that he's very angry.

I felt frustrated thinking I had used my breath for nothing. I will stay on my father's side.

“ Didn't you know that the Etham family's blood was forbidden to leave without my permission?!
"

“ N-No...
"

I had no way of knowing.

...... What?

“ No, I didn't know...
"

Listening to the shouts made my eyes feel hot for no reason.

“ I-I made a mistake... sob
"

As always, I was about to bow my head, saying it was my fault, but I was filled with sadness.

Unknowingly, I turned into a lizard and went through hardships, but it was sad to be scolded again.

“ I'm s-sorry... sob
"

I wiped away the tears that were about to fall with the back of my hand.

“ Why, why are you crying...?
"

“ Master.
"

Kylo, who was by his side, finally stopped Duke Miriel and took a step forward.

It was because he easily noticed that his master, who had gone rigid, was not in a condition to continue speaking.

“ Miss.
"

Kylo knelt down and gently wiped my eyes with a handkerchief.

“ The patriarch wanted to say he was concerned.
"

sniffle

Wanting to ask how that temperament could be interpreted that way, I raised my head, and Kylo smiled.

“ I thought I would interpret it in time. It's because the patriarch's words always need translation if you're not familiar with them.

“ Stop saying strange things! Can't you just shut up right now?!
"

“ It's embarrassing to expose my inner self in such detail, so I ask you to be quiet.
"

“ Don't say anything weird! What the hell are you doing with that fluffy thing...?
"

“ He didn't like the fact that the cute fluffy lady almost got into trouble.
"

Unfazed by the loud shouts, Kylo persisted and began translating, whether it was true or not.

“ Noisy! You! If you run away from home once more, then you should know that you won't even be able to step out of the room!
"

Duke Miriel, who directed his anger at me with Kylo as the arrow, pointed his finger at me and shouted.

"His face is very red..."

Seeing that his earlobes were burning, it was clear he was very angry.

"Is Kylo okay?"

When I looked at Kylo with a serious expression, he opened his mouth with a polite smile.

“ I'm worried that the miss will run away once more and go through the same thing as this time, so from now on, every time you go out, take a knight with you. Or you can stay at home and simply talk.
"

How did this interpretation come about?

As I gazed at Kylo with my mouth agape, Kylo gently wiped my cheek and whispered.

“ The tears have stopped now. When you're in front of the patriarch, you'll naturally have a translator.
"

“ Wow...
"

“ What 'wow'? Ugly fluffy thing!
"

“ Adorable fluffy thing.
"

“ Pfft...
"

Seeing Duke Miriel, with his face red and Kylo, who interpreted it casually and arbitrarily, made me burst into laughter.

“ Hahaha!
"

Duke Miriel's eyes widened as I held my stomach and laughed.

“ That's right... how can you laugh? How dare you! Huh? Why are you laughing in front of me?! I'll rip your lips off-!
"

Kuaang-!

Before the words could finish, a roar and a gale blew in.

Kylo held me in his arms at the right moment, so I was fine, except for the wind that startled me a little.

“ Are you going to rip what?
"

Erno Etham precisely cut Duke Miriel's office desk into two parts.

The sword had just grazed right in front of Duke Miriel's nose.

“ Oh, it was a mistake.
"

“ You! Are you insane?! There's no such thing! What are you doing to your father?! If you make a mistake twice, you'll kill your father!v

“ If I make a mistake twice, it's because he must have asked for it twice.
"

“ Wh-what...?
"

That's how one says he tried to kill him from the beginning...

Doesn't that mean he would have died if he hadn't made a mistake? Duke Miriel held the back of his neck.

“ Then why did you say you'd take a precious part of someone else's daughter's body? I can't even touch her properly because I feel like she'll break.
"

The embarrassing words slipped out unfiltered. Suddenly, my head hung low.

“ Th-that, when did I say I would take something from her?
"

“ That's right, young master. The patriarch only meant to say that you shouldn't laugh without preparation because you'll be in trouble if you do.
"

Even in the midst of a storm, Kylo presented his interpretation firmly with a smile on his face.

“ Give it to me.
"

Erno Etham approached Kylo with his sheathed sword.

Kylo obediently handed me over to Erno Etham. Used to being held in his arms, I inspected the messy office.

“ Ah, the office desk and the broken furniture will be deducted from young master Erno's budget.
"

A crack formed between Erno Etham's eyebrows at Kylo's words.

He seemed dissatisfied, but only nodded slightly and said nothing.

“ And patriarch, didn't you have something to say to the miss?

“... ah.

Amidst the messy office, Duke Miriel let out a sigh.

"Perhaps the nerve center of this family is actually Kylo?"

I had a sudden thought.

“ You, little fluffy thing!
"

Duke Miriel, who had been silent for a long time, pointed at me and called me.

“ Yes...?
"

“ Then you...!
"

Duke Miriel, who had been staring at me with fierce eyes, looked at Kylo and let out a brief sigh.

“... I apologize for shouting at you.
"

My eyes widened at the unexpected words. It was because I didn't expect him to apologize or anything like that.

......

“ Of course, I knew you weren't guilty, and I just wanted to confirm the truth.
"

“... Yes.
"

Unknowingly, I rolled my eyes.

“ However, it can't be ignored that you're a suin.

"..."

I inclined my head.

I'm sure that's the case.

We don't even share the same blood, so I can't be placed in the Etham family.

“ I'm going to do a paternity test with that bastard through the temple.
"

“ Yes...
"

Wouldn't I be expelled if it's confirmed? Or maybe I could live in a mansion other than the Etham family's...

“ Then!
"

Duke Miriel saw me sag and gritted his teeth.

“ I'm not kicking you out! Whether it was the bastard's mistake or whatever, it doesn't change that you've joined the Etham family!
"

“ The paternity test is just a formality, and I have no intention of expelling you. You're still an Etham, so don't worry.
"

My eyes widened at Kylo's translation.

“... Kylos, you bastard!
"

The moment Duke Miriel was about to draw his sword, I laughed with a weak expression.

“ I'm glad...
"

I buried my face in Erno Etham's shoulder and whispered a bit.

“ Thank you, Grandfather.
"

While smiling weakly, Duke Miriel took a deep breath.

The corners of his mouth twisted, and he turned his head away with a fierce expression.

“ Well, did you think you could scare away a soft little thing like you?
"

Duke Miriel said with a slightly softened voice.

"That's right, but..."

If I say that here, I think I'll hear useless complaints again.

Instead of responding, I shook my head gently.

Kylo nodded with a somewhat pleased expression. And somehow, I felt like I shouldn't attack Kylo.

“ I think the conversation is over, so let's go.
"

Erno Etham turned around unapologetically on my behalf.

"But why is this person in such a bad mood?"

He had the expression of someone whose work hadn't gone as planned.

“ Oh, and you've been assigned a tutor, so you should know.
"

“ A tutor?
"

“ Yes, I can't stand to see an Etham family child being stupid. You'll go through a formal education course, so you know.
"

“ Ugh...
"

I hate studying.

I studied for more than 20 years, but I didn't feel like doing it again.

“ It's essential to be part of Etham.
"

As soon as Duke Miriel's words were finished.

"It's crap, so ignore it."

Erno Etham coldly dismissed it.

Dad is the best!
