The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 235



Bonus 3. How to get through puberty healthily (3)

Judas’ outing was not long.

Because they both have families.

He returned quickly and saw a shadow waiting at the entrance to the Sky Palace.

‘Is that Ellie? No. Ellie should be with the kids… .’

The person who came out to greet me was Amor.

“dad.”

Amor called him, lowering his head and avoiding eye contact in embarrassment.

Judah treated his daughter as usual, without any concern.

“Amor. Are you here to pick up your dad?”

“Yeah, well… there’s that too.”

Amor scratched the back of his neck, seeming embarrassed.

That was exactly what Judas had a habit of doing when he was embarrassed.

My daughter, who even resembled me in habits, suddenly held something out.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out.

It was a nicely wrapped envelope.

“…letter?”

Judas accepted it with a bewildered heart.

Before I could ask any more questions, Amor spoke first.

The words come out smoothly, as if prepared.

“I was writing a letter for the past few days. I wanted to give it to Mom and Dad. I wanted to give it to them as a surprise gift, but Dad came in suddenly and I thought he found out. So, I didn’t mean to, but I got so surprised that I ended up yelling at him…”

Towards the end, the voice gradually became smaller.

Amor lowered his head and glanced at Judah before speaking.

“I’m sorry… for yelling all of a sudden.”

Judas smiled bitterly.

It was admirable and wonderful, but also sad to see him so cowering.

“Amor. Look at Dad.”

Amor raised his tearful eyes.

Fear of being scolded or rejected.

From noble mtl dot come

Guilt for yelling at yourself.

It seemed like a mixture of emotions.

All of that was evidence that I was becoming an adult.

Everyone lives in their own territory that cannot be invaded by others.

The spirit of Amor has now entered the stage of constructing and regulating that realm.

In that situation, he entered a room that he thought was his territory without permission, and Amor, not knowing how to react, ended up shouting reflexively.

At first, you don’t know what to do, so your instinctive reaction tends to come out.

Yelling, getting upset, things like that.

As you grow, you learn how to protect your territory and how to react when someone comes in.

Judah also admitted it.

It was a change that surprised me, but I viewed it positively.

Because it is evidence that the child is growing into an adult.

Judas smiled generously.

“It’s okay. It’s okay to cry over things like that. As you live, you get to yell at your dad and get yelled at by your daughter, and things like that.”

It was as small as my forearm, but before I knew it, it had grown to below my shoulders.

Judah gently stroked his daughter, who had grown so large that he could no longer lift her with one arm like he used to.

“Ellie… No, Mom said that. Experience anything and learn from it. Of course, you should avoid extremely bad experiences, but you also learn from these experiences. For example, how to apologize honestly? So don’t be sorry. It’s really okay.”

“yes….”

Amor’s expression became much more relaxed.

“And children don’t have to watch their parents’ faces. Mom and Dad are there to make Amor whine and depend on them as much as he wants.”

Parents should remain someone their child can rely on at all times.

It should become fertilizer for the child’s growth.

It was a radical idea that sometimes ignored the individual personality of the parents, but Elijah believed it firmly.

That’s the right mindset for a parent to have.

That was also the reason why I hoped that my child would never have to watch what his parents thought.

“That’s true, but… Still, I’m the eldest, so I have to be more dignified… And I have to give in to my younger siblings, so I can’t keep whining.”

“… Amor. I wish you would still whine to me like you did when you were a baby even when you become a grandmother.”

“What is that?”

Amor ended up bursting into laughter.

My mind has become much lighter than before.

“Amor is the eldest, so there were times when he gave in to his younger siblings… Did that make you sad?”

“Never before. Just once. A little during the entrance ceremony?”

“Um… I’m sorry. I wanted to be considerate.”

“No, it’s okay now. And later on, Dad came to visit. That’s when I realized. Dad and Mom are really precious and thankful people to me. That’s why I wanted to write a letter… .”

“You’re all grown up, my daughter.”

Judah stroked Amor’s head.

It really grew a lot.

Most people become dull when they do something repetitive.

When you take something for granted, you end up resenting the person when it doesn’t happen to you.

So, it is difficult and adult to be grateful for things that are taken for granted.

“You didn’t even sleep to write this letter, did you?”

“That’s not it….”

Amor reluctantly confessed.

“Actually, I’m scared of sleeping alone….”

“…huh?”

Judas was taken aback by the completely unexpected reason.

“I was scared to be alone in a dark room… That’s why I couldn’t sleep. But I said I would use a separate room, so I can’t go back…”

“oh my.”

Judas grabbed his burning forehead.

This eldest daughter, who resembles Elijah, also has a similar personality.

A sense of responsibility for something. Perfectionism, the determination to complete something once you decide to do it.

That sense of responsibility bordering on stubbornness manifested itself in a strange way.

“First of all, Amor. Just because you have a separate room doesn’t mean you have to sleep alone at night. You can sleep with your mom and dad when you sleep alone. Later, when you can sleep alone, you can sleep alone then.”

“… Really?”

Smart, but sometimes a bit quirky.

She really is like Elijah’s daughter.

Judah hugged Amor.

In order to get through puberty, when the ego begins to develop, healthily, someone’s trust is needed.

Trust that cheers and supports you so that you can stand upright without wavering.

He and Elijah wanted to be that kind of parent to Amor and their other children.

“Everything will be okay.”

At those words, Amor felt relieved and leaned against his father’s embrace.

That night, Amor decided to sleep with his family.

“Sister! Are we sleeping together today?”

“Yeah. That’s what I was thinking.”

“why?”

“that….”

“Aren’t you scared of sleeping alone?

Fides joked.

But, it was right on target.

Amor couldn’t answer.

The reaction was noticed by Space.

“I guess it’s true. Are you scared of sleeping alone, big sister?”

“Oh, no?”

“Sister, you’re scary!”

“no…!”

Amor was smiling, even though his face was red from being teased by his younger siblings.

Elijah quietly joined Judah.

“Did you have a good conversation?”

“Well, you could say that.”

“That’s fortunate. Hmm, but it’s a bit disappointing.”

“Huh? What?”

“There’s something we planned to do tonight. I have something prepared… but it won’t work out today.”

“… … .”

What on earth have you prepared?

Although he was desperately curious, Judas swallowed his regret inside.

“Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do… There’ll be another chance. I can do it while the kids are at the academy…”

The best thing about the kids going to the academy is that we now have more alone time together.

During the day, the two can spend more time freely than before.

And share the love.

“transformation.”

Elijah smiled joyfully as he spoke.

“Did Ellie get the letter too?”

“Yeah. He talked to me first before giving it to Judah. ​​She’s our daughter, but she’s so special and pretty.”

“I think we don’t have to worry about puberty as much as we do about Amor.”

Smart and kind Amor.

Puberty, which comes to everyone, seemed to pass relatively smoothly.

In fact, there is something else that Judah is truly worried about.

Fides, the second son.

Among the children, he is the one who resembles himself the most.

Judah had a hard time defining when his adolescence began and ended.

Because originally, the concept of beginning and end was not clear.

Anyway, he knows that during his adolescence, he was a beast that would bite if someone got in his way.

‘That is, if Fides resembles my personality, then he is a time bomb…’

There’s nothing that’s about to explode yet.

No one will touch him, the prince.

However, I can’t guarantee how long he will remain quiet.

And then something happened that lived up to those concerns.

*

[To my beloved dad. What a blessing it is to have someone to lean on. The sun that always rises and sets gives many blessings to the earth, but people do not know it, and I think I was the same. Just as we look back on its light and warmth only after it gets dark at night, I realized that natural gratitude while Mom and Dad were away at the academy for a while. And that consistently loving and caring for someone is not something that comes naturally or naturally, but requires effort. Thank you for cheering and supporting me no matter what happens. I will continue to work hard to be a pretty and proud daughter. I love you, dad. (In small letters in the corner) I’m sorry I shouted without realizing it. I didn’t do it on purpose…! I love you. Kiss me, um!]

[To my beloved mother. I read it in a book written by my mother. People’s eyes are turned outward, so they can’t see themselves. So people look at and define themselves through others. In fact, it was hard to understand when I first read it, but I think I understand after coming to the academy. So many people. People who see each other, wander, and worry. Being thrown into the middle of all that, I had a lot of thoughts. I feel like she created the optimal environment for me and my younger siblings to grow like this. It’s hard to explain, but I think I can see my mother’s intentions here and there. Am I mistaken? Thank you for always being by my side like Dad. That’s what I wanted to say. I’ll study hard and become a pretty and lovable daughter! I want to grow up to be a good adult like Mom. I love you so much. Kiss me!]

The royal children use Elijah’s teleportation ability to attend the academy.

It’s the same when I come back after finishing the academy.

The fifth day after entering school.

Judah and Elijah, who had come to fetch Fides, heard surprising news.

The homeroom teacher in charge of the overall guidance of the 2nd grade class 1 of the elementary school said as if he was embarrassed.

“Today, Prince… . Oh, no. Fides got into a fight with another student.”

“… … .”

Looking at the two people’s faces quickly hardening, the teacher quickly corrected himself.

“Well, rather than a fight, there was some friction… with other fourth-year students.”

“…4th grade?”

He was two years older than Fides.

Judas was bewildered, but somehow he guessed what was going on.

Elijah was the same.

If he had clashed with his senior because of his personality that resembled his, the reason would also be similar to his past.

The two decided to first remain calm and listen to the circumstances of what had happened.
