I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess chapter 287

287 – Side Story – A Story About Creating Peace (6)

After being harshly scolded by Ariel, Edgar decided to reduce his workload and spend more time focusing on his family for the first time in a while.

He went out alone with her younger sister for the first time in a long time, bought her delicious food, played with her adorable children with toys, and even took the elderly family members on a long trip.

However, it was not possible for everyone to be away, so Ariel decided to focus on official duties in his place in the meantime. However, since she couldn’t just watch her overdo it, she entrusted Ellie to watch over her.

It was obvious that if I left it to Shuri, I would not be able to disobey Ariel’s orders and would report falsely.

When Edgar returned to the castle after enjoying his first vacation, his expression had improved greatly. It was all thanks to Ariel.

Clutter.

“I’ve been there.”

I decided to stop by the office first because I had bought a gift to give to her, and the moment I opened the door without any further notice.

“Huh! I’m a doryeonni… !”

“… ?”

As if a sad, crying woman had been waiting for her, she ran towards him, shedding tears like chicken droppings.

There was only one person in this castle who could call him Master without giving him a name, so even if he didn’t raise his downward head, he could quickly guess who the other person was.

“Shuri, what’s going on?”

Unlike his master, who greeted him warmly from behind by saying, ‘Welcome,’ Edgar suddenly wondered what was going on when he saw the maid crying sadly as if the world had collapsed.

Shuri, in joy that a savior had finally appeared, raised her head with the threat of breaking her neck, and tried to point at Ariel in the distance, but she could not bring herself to do so and poured out her anger in her words her her her her.

“Hi! Ah, the young lady said she was lonely without the master… ! Well, you harassed me… !”

“Speaking of harassment, say it properly. “He misunderstood.”

Edgar was able to guess how the situation was going by the way Ariel frowned as if it was uncomfortable to hear her. Because this has happened once before.

“… It was a lot of hard work. “I’ll be watching over Ariel, so you go and rest.”

“What kind of kid am I?”

While Edgar was patting her on the shoulder and congratulating her on her achievement, Ariel, who was listening to this, was busy grumbling. Even though she herself admitted that she was a bit childish on the inside,

Squeak.

Thanks to her help Shuri, who was able to be freed from Ariel for a while, opened the door and disappeared.

Presuming that he had gone to see his lover, Roban, to heal from his hard work, he turned his gaze to his wife, who was twisting one side of her hair with her fingers.

“Ugh, are you playing with Shuri while I’m away?”

“Wow, what you’re saying is strange!” I was just playing around because I was bored… !”

“That’s it. “If I had known it would be like this, I would have left with other conditions besides asking me to work moderately.”

It’s a joke, but from Shuri’s perspective, it would be no different from workplace bullying. We’ll have to find out later how bad the prank was, but for now, Edgar decided to scold Ariel a bit.

It’s my next job to comfort her when she’s having a hard time working alone.

Taaak!

“Aya! It hurts… !?”

As honey balm exploded on her forehead without warning, Ariel let out a scream and looked up at Edgar with a mortified expression.

Is there anyone in the world who could treat her so carelessly, who is now the mother of two children and the owner of the Robeheim family?

“What did you say when I left Hespania?”

“Well, there won’t be any problems at the castle, so don’t worry… ” . Wow!?”

“Someone who knows that is harassing an innocent maid? Did I do something wrong or not?”

“Well, I did it wrong… ” !”

However, she knew better than anyone else that such an old woman would not be able to make excuses, so she had no choice but to admit her mistake even though she was repeatedly attacked by Edgar.

I don’t know what kind of backlash I would face if I were to say something about how difficult it was to work alone here and why should we start with corporal punishment?

“That’s what I told you, if you get lonely, just call me through the communication line.”

When he thought the admonition was over to some extent, Edgar gently stroked the forehead he had hit and muttered as if he could not stop him.

I was worried that something like this would happen, so I spent a lot of money to buy an expensive communication device that can be used over long distances, but since I don’t actually use it, it’s of no use.

“Yeah, but how can you say something like that after I pushed you away?” .”

“Oh my, you are still the same.”

Ultimately, it was a matter of pride. Ariel’s loyalty was that she did not want to be a wife who was a burden to her husband.

At this point, Edgar thought she must have had her own problems, so she lifted her wife up and sat down on her chair to express her regret.

Ariel, who realized what that meant, seemed to have been waiting, and without hesitation, she climbed on top of Edgar and sat down, using his strong thighs as a cushion.

The composition was stable enough to make you feel that it was not something you had done once or twice.

“I’m sorry for hitting you so hard. “Did it hurt a lot?”

“Joe, it’s a little…” ” ? It’s okay, so please do this.”

“Like this?”

“Yes, I like this feeling.”

When Ariel grabbed Edgar’s arm her, who was sitting behind her, and made him hug her from behind, he inadvertently laughed.

Since it is inevitable that he has already suffered a loss, he is determined to receive at least a good compensation. After all, he must have a brilliant mind befitting the master of the North.

“Anyway, you had a hard time. “It must have been difficult working without me.”

“It’s okay, I’ve been taking it easy these past few days, too.”

“You did as well as you promised.”

“If you know, praise me more. I did a good job.”

It’s something you can’t say in front of others, even if it’s because you’re embarrassed. To begin with, Ariel doesn’t consider being recognized by others that important.

However, he wanted to be praised in front of him, even for small things, and to be told that he did a good job, even if it was insignificant.

That’s why he leaned against his body like a child, rubbing his face and making a fuss.

“Then I’m sorry for only talking to you, so would you like to go on a trip together?”

“Travel?”

Then, his eyes sparkled and he turned his head to the carrot that Edgar had suddenly thrown.

Going on a trip just the two of us is a memory so old that I can’t even remember when it happened. Perhaps that’s why his heart jumped violently just by saying those words.

“Because I took the elders of both families with me… “I thought it would be nice to go alone this time.”

“Yeah, good. I want to go. Where are you going?”

“There is no specific place. “I was planning to go with you wherever you wanted to go.”

Seeing as it is expressed in past tense, it seems like this was the intention from the beginning.

In response, Ariel took Edgar’s her hand her her her, which was hugging her her own body her her her, clasped hers, and opened her mouth with a light kiss.

“I already had a place I wanted to go… Anyway, I heard you’re quick-witted.”

“Okay? That’s good.”

It wasn’t a particularly targeted action, but Edgar smiled, thinking that a good thing was a good thing.

Given Ariel’s personality of hers, it was obvious that she would never reveal where she was going until she left, but she decided to leave that for her own enjoyment and buried her face in her shoulder.

***

It is the first time in several years that beings who can be said to be the pillars of the Robeheim family vacate the castle at the same time.

When there was a call from the imperial palace, there were times when they went together, but since the two people’s philosophy was that one person should guard the castle if possible, it was rare these days.

“Dad! “Mom!”

“Please come back!”

Thanks to this, the Robeheim sisters came out of the castle and were cutely seeing off their parents, who were going out together for the first time in a long time.

Children of this age tend to be afraid of being separated from their parents, but since there are so many good people around them, they don’t seem to be that reluctant.

Most of it was thanks to Sonia.

“Don’t worry about whether to take the kids, just go for a ride!”

“Now, wait a minute, Ariel… !”

Serena, who had recently learned to bow to her belly button, was absolutely adorable, and seeing this made Edgar ponder over whether he should take her children.

In the end, she had to let Ariel know what she was thinking and acting like it never happened.

“I’m going to be careful. “Leave the castle to us.”

“Elfeld has decided to help too, so don’t worry too much.”

“You must escort your daughter-in-law well, son.”

“Forget about work and kids for a while and rest in peace.”

Soon after, the elders of both families came out to see them off, and the two got on the carriage and waved.

“I’m not worried or anything. “I will return well.”

“We apologize for the inconvenience.”

The two parents smiled happily at the greeting that revealed each person’s personality.

Since the children have been really busy since the wedding ceremony, I just hope that they will have a meaningful vacation and come back just this once.

“Hey!”

From noble mtl dot nete

All right. All right.

Immediately, those who came out of the castle to meet the carriage, looking at the back of the carriage as it started to run with the driver’s whip, did not leave until the dust cloud disappeared.

It was a scene from one day that came suddenly.
