The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Chapter 97



Chapter 97

I kept asking Polly several questions, and Polly answered them.

Not only that, but Polly asked me a question first.

One thing I learned from that.

Indeed, Polly remembered my existence!

It said it knew that I had petted it in kindergarten, and that I even stood up to save it when it was trapped in a dog’s body.

“…Did Cedric tell Polly about me?”

“No, not at all. Why am I doing such a useless thing? I’m too busy playing with Polly.”

I knew he didn’t, but I asked, just in case, Cedric just sat in his chair and shrugged his shoulders.

Seriously, there’s no way Cedric would do such a thing.

So in the end, Polly’s memory is really amazing.

Hearing Cedric’s answer rather than that, envy surged.

‘Ah… I want to spend every day with a magical beast like Polly…’

Cedric, that guy has swordsmanship and has Polly, he has a slightly ugly impression, but he’s got a look that’s going to get better when he’s grown. It’s unfair.

With that thought in mind, I unintentionally turned my head to Sedric.

“……”

Cedric stared at me without saying a word.

With a somewhat sad look.

Polly, who follows me more than his master, has made him feel discouraged?

However, contrary to his eyes, the corners of his lips were raised up in a proud and contented way.

‘Aha. That’s right… He was jealous because Polly seems to like me more than him, but seeing Polly happy, I can’t help but laugh.’

I know that complicated feeling.

I nodded my head secretly to Cedric.

Shortly thereafter, the Cervant brought several fresh fruits, and vegetables, saying it was Polly’s snack time.

After being interrupted and eating a lot of snacks together, it was only later that I remembered my first purpose of coming to this mansion.

“Hoo! Come to think of it, Cedric, when are you going to get the pendant necklace and ring? I almost forgot to go and just play with Polly.”

At my urgent question, Cedric put on a surprised expression.

Apparently, Cedric had forgotten too.

“…Damn it, I thought there was something! Hang on. I will bring it.”

After a while Cedric really showed up with a ring and a necklace on each hand.

“Your’s fell is under the table.”

Saying that, Cedric handed me the trinkets.

As soon as I received it, I carefully put the shield-shaped ring on my finger.

It was a little too loose to fit on another finger, and it was just the right size for my middle finger.

Of course, like the other children, my name and Cedric’s family crest were engraved on them.

“Oh! It’s as strong as a real shield, right? When an arrow flies, if I put my hand like this! And I think I can stop it!”

I joked while pretending to block the flying arrows with a model shield attached to the ring.

Then Cedric smirked

“It won’t happen. The kindergarten security has become so strict, how can an arrow fly through it?”

“….Tsk, that was a joke. Don’t take it too seriously.”

I shrugged.

Then Cedric put on a look of embarrassment.

“…were you joking? I don’t joke about weapons. And if it happens that an arrow flies through the guard, don’t worry, I’ll cut it off with my sword.”

“……?”

What is this again

I looked at Cedric’s serious face, and for a moment I wondered if he had misunderstood the second sentence.

“Since that day, that is, the day when the magical beast… appeared, I have been practicing my swordsmanship more diligently. If it’s the current me, it would still be too much if it’s a magical beast, but I would be able to strike arrows right away.”

But, as I listened to the words that followed, fortunately, he didn’t seem to have heard it wrong.

Cedric’s face darkened slightly, as if recalling the past and remembering the frustration of that time once again.

However, soon after, the words of a firm promise were heard, as if trying to instill confidence in himself.

For some reason, it was even with a determined expression on his face.

“…Jake, that guy, he was a little bit cool, though. As long as I become a Sword Master, I can defeat those beasts more easily than magic.”

And while he was muttering something, I think I heard Jake’s name at first glance.

I tilted my head and asked a question, but I couldn’t utter it to the end.

“Hey, what did you just say…”

“Cedric! Are you here?”

Because the door suddenly opened and an uninvited visitor came.

A boy who came in out of nowhere without knocking and opening the door.

If he just calls Cedric by his first name, not by his family name, he’s definitely not a Cervant.

I turned my head to confirm the owner of the voice.

‘… Cedric’s older brother? So, the second brother?’

The boy standing by the door looked like Cedric’s blood.

I met his first brother earlier, so he must be the second.
