Time Healer Ceres - Chapter 140

“Has His Majesty called you again?”

“I told Your Majesty not to bother Ceres, but I feel I must tell you again.”

The joy and gladness of meeting again, as well as the worry and caution about being dragged around by the Emperor, were clearly felt in both of them.

‘Why are they…?’

‘Do you know each other?’

‘how?’

The other nobles present in the conference room were perplexed to see the smiles blooming on their faces, which were the main culprits of the cold atmosphere.

They couldn’t help but be even more surprised by Ceres’ subsequent reaction.

“Sir, ma’am.”

Ceres’s friendly greeting and approaching the two people made the nobles’ mouths drop open.

‘Oh, sir?’

‘auntie?’

‘I’m not the only one who heard that wrong, am I?’

Who would dare call the two dukes like that! While everyone was so surprised, the three of them continued their conversation as if they were in a separate space.

“Your Majesty did not call me.”

“Then? Ceres, did you come here because you wanted to see Uncle?”

Ceres smiled awkwardly at the expectant gaze of Duke Nora, and looked at Kainel, who was standing silently behind her.

“… … .”

“… … ”

“… … .”

Even though no particular explanation was given, the two dukes’ eyes suddenly took on a look of displeasure as they looked at Cainel.

“Why did our Ceres come with that person? Are they close? No? Then, our Ceres is not the kind of person who gets along with just anyone.”

“of course.”

Duke Nora and Duke Elkain sneaked between Ceres and Kainel, keeping them at a distance. The corners of Kainel’s mouth went up in a crooked manner at their actions.

“Do you know each other?”

The moment he said that they were strangers, Ceres opened her mouth quickly at the sight of him exuding a cold air as if he was going to attack her.

“Friends of my deceased parents.”

So don’t act recklessly.

“… … .”

The corners of Kainel’s mouth, which had been slightly raised at Ceres’ warning gaze, slowly lowered again.

It seemed like he didn’t like something, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of picking any more trouble with the two dukes.

Ceres let out a short sigh of relief as she watched him quietly sit down in his seat.

“Everyone, please sit down. Stop making noise.”

At that moment, a soft voice was heard, causing the surroundings to become quiet once again.

Ceres raised her head at the sound and came face to face with a man staring at her intently.

The black eyes, which showed no other color at all, turned their heads coldly, as if avoiding Ceres’ gaze.

“Okay, let’s sit down.”

Duke Nora smiled and headed to his seat. Duke Elcain also sat down without saying anything, as if he had no intention of making any more noise.

‘Is that person… … .’

Ceres also stood behind Cainel. Then, she looked at the person who had just spoken, Duke Schweiss, and thought for a moment.

I think that’s one of the people that Duke Nora mentioned before.

‘The atmosphere is different.’

Ceres tilted her head as she looked at the cold Duke of Schweiss, who, unlike the two of them, did not even give her a proper glance.

‘I wonder if Your Majesty misheard.’

Did he say he called me his child? Thinking back on it, it still seems ridiculous. I wonder if there was some kind of misunderstanding in the conversation…

Swish.

“… … ?”

For a moment, Ceres couldn’t continue her thoughts. Suddenly, she saw Duke Schweis standing up from his seat.

He walked towards the empty seat and picked up a chair that was there. Then he personally carried the chair to where Ceres was.

“Sit down.”

“…yes?”

Ceres looked at the Duke of Schweiss with a bewildered look for a moment as he placed his chair behind her and returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.

Ceres laughed inwardly at the sight of Duke Schweiss, who still had a cold expression and did not give her proper attention, but who clearly continued to glance at her to see if she was uncomfortable.

‘What on earth did your parents do?’

I became very curious about what kind of life the parents of this body’s original owner had lived.

* * *

“Your Majesty?”

“Yeah. Was your father by any chance close to the three dukes?”

There was only one person who could ask about the late Baron Drow.

Colin, the butler who worked at Drowga for a long time, I thought he might know something.

“ah…….”

When asked about the three dukes, he nodded briefly and then let out a long sigh.

“Yes. You were friends when you were young. You often hung out with the Duke of Nora and the Duke of Schweiss. You even went to the Academy together. But… … .”

“however?”

“You suddenly stopped contacting me. I think it was when something happened to the Duke of Schweiss.”

“Work? What’s going on?”

“A long time ago, when the current Duke of Schweiss was still an archduke, his younger brother was kidnapped.”

He was a younger brother with a considerable age difference.

“The empire was turned upside down.”

Many people chased the kidnapper, but in the end, the Duke of Schweiss’s brother returned as a corpse.

“I don’t know why, but I haven’t seen the three of you together since that incident.”

Ceres nodded at Colin’s words.

‘That’s what they wanted. They wanted us to keep you from getting attention from other people. And we agreed.’

‘It was hidden very thoroughly.’

The last time we met, I remembered what Duke Nora had said. If Colin, the butler who had watched everything from the closest angle, thought that our relationship had been cut off, then it goes without saying that everyone else would.

It means that you have completely deceived other people’s eyes.

“Except for Aunt Agne.”

“yes?”

Suddenly, I asked Colin another question, wondering why the name Agne was mentioned here.

“How was the relationship between your father and Aunt Agne?”

“Between you two… … .”

A long sigh escaped Butler Colin’s mouth.

“They were good. They were inseparable siblings. Before the Baron and his wife passed away, they were also good aunts to Lady Ceres and her two younger siblings.”

So when the Baron passed away and Agne announced that she would take temporary control of the family and become the children’s guardian, Colin was relieved. He knew that she would take good care of the children.

‘It was a mistake.’

That idea was shattered in less than two weeks. Seeing how the children were prevented from inheriting the family title because they were too young, and how they pressured Ceres into not being able to make any decisions on her own, Colin wanted to help in some way.

But what could he, a mere butler, do? All he could do was give Ceres some small advice and counsel.

But that too was an eyesore to Agne, and she had to leave the Baron’s house.

“But why are you suddenly asking that?”

“Just. It made me realize just how amazing my aunt was.”

Dare you think of deceiving the three dukes of the empire? Are you stupid or brave? I think you should at least acknowledge your guts.

“But, miss.”

“huh?”

“They’re fighting again.”

“… … .”

Ceres turned her head at Colin’s words and looked at the two guys who were squealing loudly on one side.

[Phew! Phew!]

It seemed as if the baby rabbit Airien was up to a trick again, as a flower bloomed on the black rabbit’s head.

The black cat started to wag its short arms wildly, trying to get it off, but when that didn’t work, it started to howl loudly.

“Irene.”

[Beep?]

“stop.”

[Beep… … .]

“If you keep bothering me, you’ll get in trouble.”

[Boo! Boo!]

As soon as he picked up the black cat hanging on his feet, the boy burst into tears as if he had been waiting for it.

[… beep.]

Airien glared at the rascal with displeasure. Usually, when she teased him, he would use his shadow to grab his ears or knock him over, but when Ceres was around, he acted pitifully as if he was the only one being bullied.

[Boo… … .]

[……! beep!]

Look at that, look at that! Look at that triumphant smile on her face as she looks at herself from Ceres’s embrace!

As Irene jumped up and down in anger, Kamang’s smile grew even deeper.

“Stop fighting and eat a snack.”

[fart!]

[beep!]

The two boys, seeing the fresh fruit and cake, hummed as if they had never fought before and ran towards the snacks at the same time.

In the chilly office of Kainel, an unusual visitor occupies a spot during a time when work should be in full swing.

“…Why are you here?”

“Berber, I didn’t know you’d be here first.”

Duke Elcain and Duke Nora opened their eyes wide at the passengers who had arrived and taken their seats before them.

Entering the reception room, I could see the Duke of Schweiss sitting with his legs crossed, leisurely drinking tea.

“I told you not to call me that.”

He raised his head indifferently at the nickname that the Duke of Nora had uttered, then frowned slightly as he put down his teacup.

“Hey, if you don’t call me Ber, what do you call me?”

Baynelle Schweis. Duke Nora, who shortened his name to Ber, smiled wryly. Duke Schweis stared at him blankly for a moment before picking up his teacup again.

“I’ll take care of this, so you guys can go.”
