The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Chapter 46



Then he muttered with a hazy voice as if dreaming.

“……it’s warm.”

“Because it’s a magical being’s egg.”

The Duke smiled and responded. Okay, looking at the slightly pale pinkish egg, it made me feel fuzzy.

Anyway, Duke Theion is a busy person, so me and Cedric, who have resolved their business, greeted him immediately and left the parlor.

But as soon as we came out, it was Jake who was waiting for us.

“Mir, let’s go see my room now!”

Not surprisingly, Jake treated Cedric as someone who wasn’t there.

Jake only crossed his arms to me and didn’t give a glance to Cedric.

Of course, Cedric and Jake did not have the desire to meet and play in such a private space, so he said he would immediately return to his mansion with Polly.

“…… Then I’m off. See you at the kindergarten tomorrow.”

Perhaps it was because of Polly’s life safety, his face and voice became more docile, yet I didn’t adapt to it at all.

But, on one hand, I thought it was fortunate. I nodded and saw Cedric off.

If he sees my family’s carriage in front of the Grand Duke’s residence, I ask him to tell them to change their destination to Duchy of Theion.

Cedric promised to do my favor.

And after Cedric’s departure, for some reason, Jake had an expression that looked as if he had been carrying a load on his shoulder today.

As I looked, Jake looked at me with a calm face, and said,

“Then, Mir, my mother wants to see you. But I want to play with Mir in my room… What are you going to do, Mir?”

Jake’s question made my eyes sparkle.

The Duchess of Theion, not anyone else, wants to see me. How can I not get there?

Whenever she sees me, she always brings me a beautiful sample of fresh raspberries grown in her backyard garden, as well as lemons, cherries and other fruits.

The Duchess, whose hobby is eco-friendly farming, was in line with me to some extent, who likes healing.

“Tsk. Looks like Mir must like my mother more than me.”

“Huh? Oh, no. Jake.”

Oops, was it too obvious? Jake noticed my heart and made a grimy face.

I denied it with all my might, but it was too late.

Jake was depressed that he had not been chosen twice.

In the end, I had to come up with an answer that was different from my heart.

“No, Jake. I really really want to play with you. Let’s go to your room right now!”

“……Good! Let’s go!”

Jake looked at me for a moment, then shouted vigorously.

I didn’t know if he had fallen for my clumsy lie or if he was fooling himself even though he knew it.

“Wow!”

“How is it, isn’t it cool?”

When I finally got to Jake’s room, I exclaimed softly. Most of these well-organized toys are things I already know very well, but there are also things I’ve never seen before, as if they were newly made. Magical dolls that move automatically as if they were alive were no longer surprising.

But it wasn’t the toys that I admired.

I saw a slide in one corner of Jake’s room.

The cylindrical slide had a lid, and when the lid was opened, you could go down in a twisted shape rather than a straight line.

It must be dark because it is a closed space, but the inside of the space was bright like it had its own lighting. The end was not visible.

If you add the magic of water here, it will become a water slide.

Even though I thought it was a very desirable item, I wondered where the end was connected to.

“Where can I go if I ride this, Jake?”

“I heard that if I ride down, it would randomly teleport to a place in the mansion. It’s amazing! It happened a few days ago, but I’m glad Mir just came. I really wanted to show this to Mir. I like the toys my father made!”

Jake looked back at me and shouted with a look that couldn’t hide his joy.

I tilted my head and asked again.

“Then you don’t know where you’re going until you ride? You could fall into the middle of the kitchen or the laundry near the tap.”

“Well, that could be the case, but most fall in the garden or on something like a soft sofa. They are not supposed to fall in dangerous places like on the stove in the kitchen. Would Mir like to ride it too?”

“Yes, good!”

Jake first recommended to me what I was curious about, so I can’t refuse.
