The examination is over. Louise was afraid of losing all the money he had saved, so he chose to return. I knew he was a jerk, but I never thought he could be this terrible.
By the way, I knew that Louise hid something under the bed, but all I did was steal the money. He seemed to be more worried about other things than money, but I decided not to bother asking.
“Ciel!”
Isaac picked me up as I jumped out of the air, and Theo picked up the unconscious Louise.
Regina and Alex came running after me and checked on my condition. First, we made sure that Louise, who had passed out like a beautiful princess, was fine by checking on his condition.
“There is no problem with his mana. He was just asleep.”
“Thank god.”
If his lips are a little blue, perhaps because he had been in a cold place for a long time, that’s a problem. Theo even started a fire near the lake to warm us both up.
“Isaac. Now be nice to Louis.”
“Okay.”
Isaac must have reflected a little bit on this incident. After giving him that scolding, I looked at Alex. It was definitely daytime when I entered earlier, but in that short period of time, the sun had already set and it was night.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“I’ll call a carriage.”
Regina fired the flare. Soon after, Louise regained consciousness and woke up, rubbing his eyes.
“Louise, you worked hard.”
“Theo.”
“I’m so glad you came back safely.”
Louise seemed quite moved when he saw his older brother hugging him for some reason. After receiving a lot of praise from Theo, Louise glared at Isaac with an arrogant look.
“Brother, you have to make it up to me this time.”
“What?”
“I kept it safe.”
When I pointed my chin at him, Isaac couldn’t say anything like a mouse in front of a cat. He usually just scolded him and told me to do better, but today his stance has completely changed.
The situation was resolved and the fairy appeared on the surface. The fairy, who now looked to be around our age, seemed to have meekly given up on Louise.
On behalf of all of us, Alex took the lead in thanking the fairy.
“Thank you for sending Sir Louise back safely.”
“Because a promise is a promise.”
“If there is anything you want instead, please tell me.”
Everyone outside was watching the conversation between Ciel and Louise. The fairy laughed and gave a dismissive shake of her head in response to the offer to invite an attractive singer to the palace and even put on a performance for her if that was what she wanted.
“He was a famous singer about 30 years ago. He must be their grandfather now.”
“Then…”
“Hmm.”
This time, the fairy greeted Alex with a snort as she stood in front of him. Dark emotions were being held in the hand that was carelessly touching his face.
“You’re quite to my taste, too.”
“No!”
What kind of trouble are you talking about? Alex looked at me with a troubled look on his face.
“As you can see, that’s her only problem.”
“Hmph, it’s not fun.”
The grumpy fairy pouted her lips and looked at Louise again. No matter how you look at it, it seems like she is really into Louise. The fairy, with a very satisfied face, walked up to Louise, who was standing blankly, and asked with a meaningful smile.
“Louise Valentine. Is there someone you like right now?”
“What?”
Louise’s face turned bright red at the unexpected question. Although he was already seventeen years old, he was a man who had never even had his first love.
“No!”
“Yes, I thought so.”
“What?”
“Why, then you are not?”
When he asked her back, Louise couldn’t stop his mouth and lowered his head.
Even our idiot can’t hide his true feelings, so it’s obvious that if Louise finds someone he likes, there won’t be anyone in our family who doesn’t know about it.
Just after receiving a few questions, Louise was so embarrassed with his red face that he didn’t know what to do.
Maybe it would be nice to see my brother, who is infinitely foolish and lacking. The fairy glanced at me shaking her head and spoke to me as if she were being generous.
“Ok, fine. I will lift the curse. In return, I will receive Louise Valentine’s first love.”
“What?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the fairy hugged the frozen Louise with all her might. Then she shouted loudly as if everyone could hear.
“I value your freedom the most, so if you set your eyes on another woman, I won’t let you go.”
“Now, wait a minute. What are you talking about!”
Louise’s face turned bright red as he was forcibly hugged by her mess. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he didn’t hate it, and the fairy seemed to have noticed it too, as she smiled sweetly at Louise.
The atmosphere was strange. Louise didn’t know what to do and sent a rescue signal to Theo. But our tactless Theo was troubled with a serious expression on his face.
“There is no specific marriage partner for Louise, so there is no problem.”
“Brother!”
Isaac had been holding back his laughter for a long time. Suddenly, Louise had his nose struck by a fairy. Alex approached Louise with a serious face and patted his shoulder.
“I will definitely report your sacrifice to His Majesty.”
“No, wait a minute. Whoever wants it… Ciel!”
Since there was no one to help him, Louise kept asking me for help. His mouth was clearly asking for help, but before he knew it, Louise’s hands were naturally holding the fairy.
I don’t know when the two of them met, but my older brother, who had a somewhat reserved side, never knew how to be honest about his feelings. Since I could tell just by looking at what he was doing to me, I stopped playing the game and looked at Louise.
“Just do what you want to do.”
After hearing what I said, Louise swallowed his breath and looked down at the fairy held by me. Even though she likes him, she is sneaky for no reason. When I told Louise to do as he pleased, he lowered his head and didn’t know what to do.
“Well, that’s what it is.”
“I know. What do you want to say?”
The fairy smiled brightly and hugged Louise’s chest again. The relationship between the two seemed unusual, considering that they had to choose Louise against me.
I thought that if I hadn’t forced him out, Louise might never have followed the fairy back.
“I’m sorry, but I have to go back to the capital.”
Louise took his hand off the fairy who was holding him and talked to her in a serious way. After hesitating a few times and licking his lips while looking up at the sky, our little jerk sighed deeply and struggled to open his mouth.
“Instead of.”
“Instead of?”
The fairy laughed and held Louise’s hand tightly.
“Therefore… ”
In the darkness where the clouds blocked the moonlight, the fairy was shining alone. Louise took off his coat and draped it over the fairy’s shoulder.
“It looks so cold in here.”
“Yes. It’s a cold and lonely place.”
The fairy seemed to be happy with Louise’s consideration for her and smiled brightly, leaning her cheek against his hand. Louise had a hard time talking when a fairy told him not to go and not to leave her alone.
“Therefore…That.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll come and get you instead!”
Everyone was surprised by Louise’ confession. The fairy whose hand was caught in a mess responded happily with her cheeks blushing.
“What are we going to do around here while we are away?”
“That’s about it, uh, wouldn’t it be okay to ask our family’s soldiers to protect it?”
Louise’s voice was shaky as he spoke, and he looked at his older brother.
Fortunately, Theo willingly nodded his head and confirmed that that was quite possible.
“If that’s the case. If you come to get me first, I’m willing to follow you.”
“Really?”
It seems like the main audience has been turned over before we know it, but Louise seems to be the only one who doesn’t know that.
The fairy smiled happily and hooked her finger around Louise’s pinky finger as if my foolish brother was really cute with this hat.
“It’s been a long time since I received such a passionate confession of love, so my heart is pounding.”
“Th-That is!”
Louise’s face, unable to even respond to Vivian’s aggressive words, was already on the verge of exploding. They say that falling in love really only takes a moment, and Vivian’s aggressive affection seems to have captured our rascal’s heart.
“So, I also need to prepare to welcome you. So, what I want to say is…”
“How long can I wait?”
The fairy asked first, probably because she was frustrated with his stuttering. Theo spoke subtly to Isaac, as if deliberately asking him to listen.
“Maybe you could get married at age 20?”
“Huh. Yes. It depends on the circumstances, but men usually do it around 20, right?”
Even though Theo, who is 21 years old, doesn’t even have a fiancé yet, there is no stress in our family about marriage issues.
Louise lowered his head, hesitated, and then spoke after my older brothers next to him said something to each other.
