I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess chapter 261

261 – Side Story – Twin Siblings’ Daily Life (4)

It was only today that Edgar realized that taking care of two children was not a job.

Children come from all over and ask all kinds of questions, and it’s exhausting trying to answer them all.

However, despite this, he did not show it, answered all questions faithfully, and spent time hanging out with the children and playing with them.

That’s because he was truly grateful that children who weren’t even born when he was actively recognized the man named Edgar Vilhark and treated him like a hero.

To the point where I felt prouder than when the guards I saw just looked at him with respect.

While dealing with so many children, he suddenly couldn’t shake the feeling that the world around him was empty.

Feeling that strange sense of difference, I turned my head and looked around the classroom, and at the end of my gaze, I found a girl reading a book intently at the window seat.

It was none other than his daughter Serena, who would not hurt even if she put it in her eyes

Edgar thought that since there were so many people around him, he decided that it would be difficult for him to join in.

Just now, he was pretending to be reading a book and looking in the direction where he was.

‘This appearance is the complete opposite of Ariel.’

Even though his desire to be exclusive is as strong as Ariel’s, it’s really cute that he doesn’t express it as strongly.

It was not the right thing for a father to leave his daughter who had waited so desperately for her to come, so Edgar slowly got up from his seat, thinking that he should take action.

“Let’s go to sleep, everyone. You said you shouldn’t bother Lord Bilhark too much, right? “Let me wait here.”

“Yes!”

Fortunately, Professor Roxanne seemed to have realized the intention behind this behavior early on.

Therefore, she caught the children who were trying to follow him and diverted their attention.

Edgar took advantage of the opportunity to come to Serena’s side and squat down in front of her desk to meet her her her her eye her level her her.

“My daughter, what book were you reading?”

Even though she spoke suddenly, Serena didn’t seem surprised at all.

She had been watching her father her her her approach her in real time out of the corner of her eye her her her, so she had no reason to be surprised.

“It’s a children’s book that my dad bought me before.”

Serena responded by opening the book she had placed on her desk and showing him the cover of her.

Edgar also shook his head at the familiar sign.

I thought it was somewhat surprising that she was still reading it, even though she bought it quite a while ago.

“Oh, that’s it. Is it fun?”

“Yes! I’ve already read it 40 times. Hehe.”

“Yeah, really?”

In contrast to Serena, who spoke proudly, Edgar was a little embarrassed.

That’s because even after I bought that book, I always bought books as gifts whenever I visited the imperial capital or other places, so I remembered that there were more books worth reading.

Nevertheless, does the fact that I read that book 40 times mean that it is that much fun?

At least from his perspective, it was an incomprehensible action.

“Books are fun, but how about going over there and playing with your dad and friends?”

“… But my dad has so many friends around him.”

Serena pouted her lips in disapproval at Edgar’s suggestion her.

Since I have a timid personality, my jealousy was bigger than the reason I couldn’t approach him because of the kids.

The sight of her father having fun with other children, even though she couldn’t even share it with her mother and younger brother, was enough to make little Serena feel heartbroken.

From noble mtl dot nete

“What do you think? Even though you have many friends, you two are dad’s precious family. “Are you afraid that her father might neglect Serena because she has so many friends?”

“Any…” “I was worried.”

Serena replied sullenly, stroking her small hands.

In fact, she was just happy when Edgar came into the classroom a little while ago.

Her her father her her, the person she loved most in the world, was able to see where she lived and be in the same space.

However, as her interest in her father poured out more than she expected, she later wondered if she had brought him here for no reason.

According to Serena’s original plan, she would just brag to everyone around her about what a great person her dad was, and at the same time, she would cling to her dad and have a good time together.

“Dad, it’s Serena’s, but she keeps playing with other friends…” ” …”

“… “Puhup.”

Edgar was so jealous of his extremely cute daughter that he burst out laughing.

She had a very calm and quiet personality, so I thought she just didn’t dare to get in the middle of other people, but I was so offended by her jealousy that I didn’t come near her.

In this way, I thought she might be similar to Ariel.

“Okay. Then, even if we play with her other friends, Dad will always be next to our son and daughter. “Then is it okay?”

“Ugh…”

Edgar tried to make her promise by sticking out her little finger, but Serena didn’t even like that.

In her honest feelings, she wanted to be the only one, not even Evan, clinging to her father’s arms like a cicada on an old tree.

However, it was Evan who came up with the idea of bringing him to the academy today, and since he was her only younger brother, Serena decided to give in to that point.

Considering that her desire for exclusiveness is comparable to that of Ariel, she has shown tremendous generosity.

“All right. Promise.”

“Okay. Promise.”

She hooked her pinky and successfully completed her desired action every time Serena promised: a kiss on the cheek of her.

Then, Edgar took her by the hand and brought her to her side where her classmates were, and placed Serena next to his her her her her her her her her.

Then Serena started shaking and hugging her father’s waist with both of her arms.

The siblings’ classmates looked at the scene with somewhat surprise.

That’s because Serena didn’t approach others easily and she wasn’t that smiley either.

In other words, she looks like a noble ice princess.

Therefore, there were many boys who admired Serena, but she always tended to turn away without even approaching her.

As soon as they saw Serena’s unexpected side of her, the children were even more delighted with her and were busy whispering among themselves.

“I think Serena really likes her dad.”

“If he’s such a cool dad, wouldn’t he like him?”

“That’s right. “When I first saw her, I thought she was Serena’s her brother her her her?”

“Hmph, my dad has a lot of beard and he is fat…” ” …”

There were some children who told stories that would bring tears to their eyes when their parents heard them, but most of them found the sight heartwarming.

“Isn’t Evan going to see his dad?”

“Huh! Are you okay! “I’m just happy that my dad is here.”

Meanwhile, Evan was chatting with her friend Lily, watching from afar.

The reason Edgar wanted to come in the first place was because he wanted to show her friends what a cool guy he was, not because he wanted to stick around like Serena.

Moreover, as his younger brother his, Evan knows very well how much his sister he likes his father his, so he decided to give in this time.

“Since it’s been a while, would you like to tell me a story from the past? “Guys, is there anything you’d like to hear?”

“Me! “I want to hear a story about fighting an evil wizard!”

“Okay? It might take a bit longer.”

Thanks to a boy’s powerful suggestion by raising his hand, the children had a valuable opportunity to hear about the battle with Albrich, which would have been difficult to hear directly from his mouth his anywhere else.

His old story, which started with his daughter, in his arms, became quite long as expected, but no one got bored and everyone listened to his story until the end with shining eyes.

The story of a hero who defeated an evil wizard and saved the country, something that only appears in children’s fairy tales.

It was the perfect material to ignite the innocence of children, regardless of their gender.

Same time.

Ariel, who was working alone in the castle, widened her eyes at the news brought by Shuri.

“What? So, you mean that entry was not permitted originally?”

“Well, it seems like that. I guess Miss Serena and Master Evan didn’t really know either.”

Seeing her reply with a smile on her face, Ariel put down her pen and let out a deep sigh.

“Ha. So even if I tell you to understand properly…”

At first, she tried to dissuade Edgar from going to the academy this morning, but Evan and Serena said it was okay and she was happy to move on.

She didn’t know much about the rules of her academy, but she knew that it was strictly forbidden for her students to reveal their family origins.

Of course, showing her face does not immediately reveal the person’s identity her her, but that does not apply to people like Edgar or Ariel.

At least, if you are related to a noble family or are interested in gossip, it is difficult not to recognize their faces.

However, since a being of that caliber showed up at the Academy without any notice, it was obvious that he would have been shocked even if he was turned upside down.

Wouldn’t it be fortunate if the president didn’t fall behind?

“Fortunately, he seems to be doing well and giving good words to the children. I heard that the president himself gave an order to the guards to bring him…”

“I guess so. “Even if Amman’s regulations are strict, how can we send him back unless his liver is sticking out of his stomach?”

What if the president of the academy gave a harsh treatment to the person who visited the school in the name of regulations and sent him away?

Edgar himself may not care much, but rumors may quickly spread and someone else may take the position of president.

In particular, the most frightening thing about Edgar is that he has a very close relationship with the royal family.

To put it mildly, the previous emperor considered him a member of the royal family and even threatened to treat him with courtesy.

Of course, it is true that regulations are important, but the principle should be to reasonably apply exceptions to those who are expected to be treated with courtesy.

“Anyway, I’m glad if nothing happens.”

“Ah, by the way, young lady. One more news…”

“… News?”

Is there any news that is great enough to mention separately?

Ariel’s ears pricked up as she was about to end the story with this.

“In fact, there were guards who tried to stop him there, and it is said that he personally rewarded those people.”

“It’s a reward… For a moment. Are those guards, by any chance, women?”

“… “It seems like that is the case.”

Bang!

The desk that Ariel struck with the magic of domination screamed.

“The rest of us are working at home, but you went there and seduced women, right?”

“Rather than coaxing, I praise people who did their duty… Hee!?”

As Ariel’s fierce eyes stared at her, Shuri let out a squeal like an old animal and backed away from her.

“When Evan comes to the castle, tell him to come to me. “Keep it a secret from him.”

“Do you want to interrogate me?”

“What kind of interrogation is this between mother and son? Only…”

I just want to ask in detail what happened at the academy.

With those words, Ariel smiled brightly and Shuri carefully left her office without saying anything.

I express my sincere apologies to Edgar.
