Chapter 37
“Thank you, My Lord. After hearing the Lord’s advice, there was nothing difficult,” I said to Regen the next day.
The next day, I looked at Regen and smiled.
Though no one knew, I was working hard for the normal growth of a small child.
Look at how spectacular my personality was.
If there was a god in this novel, I might stick my tongue out, saying the balance was broken.
It was not like I was trying to patch things up.
I praised him, and Regen’s face turned red.
He seed to be able to relax now.
However, to revisit the fire that was put out and prevent any unforeseen mishaps, I make sure to wedge myself.
“That’s why I’m saying…My Lord, if you suddenly have the urge to run away, please tell , okay?”
Regen blinked his eyes.
“Run…Run away?”
“Yes, run away.” I smiled brightly.
‘If you want to do that, I’ll stop you. Trust .’
***
After Maevia left, Regen thought, ‘Her Highness the Grand Duchess wants to run away.’
Sniffle.
After a mont of sullenness, Regen soon cleared his mind and put his hand in his pocket.
Five copper coins ca out.
He hasn’t been out of Cyclan Castle, so he didn’t know how much his coins were worth, but he would have to make do.
‘Your Highness, I’ll try…!’
Regen decided to get his allowance money first.
(T/N: IT BACKFIRED!!!!!!!)

I had been sleeping with Aedis for the fifth ti. Aedis rarely used the bed, so I doubted whether this could be considered a bed.
I said that if he was uncomfortable, he should use a separate room, and he looked at in confusion.
I said, “What does that look an? It’s too free to interpret.”
Anyway, Sarah had co to the point of picking up five minutes before I was kicked out.
I tried every day to get acquainted with Regen. I would continue to do it steadily.
It was my new routine to have breakfast with Regen, pretending to et each other in the hallway and say good evening and good night.
But at so point, I started to feel a strange sense of incongruity.
I first noticed sothing peculiar when I overheard the conversation between Regen and Procyon by chance.
Even today, I was trying to carry out the operation ‘I was just going through the corridor without knowing anything, but I ran into the Second Lord.’ I hid behind the wall when I saw Procyon talking to Regen.
“My Lord? Why are you so depressed?”
‘What do you an, depressed? Why?’
“Sir Procyon…”
Regen’s voice, which called out to the youngest knight, was gloomy even to .
I listened, holding my breath.
“Yes, my Lord, I’m listening. Did the first Lord harass you again?”
“Oh, that’s not true! My brother doesn’t even et .”
Of course not. I was preventing him from doing so.
Gilbert, who had been quiet for a few days, returned to his original personality and was verbally abusing Agena, who was watching him. He was likely to punch him sooner or later, so he planned to take action.
I heard Regen swallow his saliva.
“Actually, Her Highness….”
‘Huh? Why are you talking about all of a sudden?’
“Her Highness, the Grand Duchess?”
Procyon was puzzled.
While I pushed my concentration to the extre, Regen continued to stutter.
“Yes. It seems like she cares a lot about , and she is kind, but…”
‘But?’
“But…”
“My Lord.”
Just in ti, the butler popped out of the corridor on the other side and called out to Regen.
‘God, damn it.’
“Isn’t it ti for class soon? Count Elliot is waiting.”
“Oh, sorry! I’ll go now!”
Needless to say, the conversation ended there.
Regen followed the butler, and I showed up to et Procyon.
When I appeared suddenly from behind the wall, Procyon was surprised.
“Eek! Yo-Your Highness Vi? I didn’t feel anything?”
‘What? You didn’t even blink a single eye when the butler showed up.’
“Sir, can you spare a minute?”
Procyon collected his breath with his blue face.
“P-p-p-p-p-please wait, my heart is on the verge of popping out.”
I waited patiently for 3 seconds and ca out with my point. “The Second Lord seems to be very comfortable with you. How did you get so close?”
Procyon took a large inhale before quickly responding, “I don’t think there’s much to it. Oh, there was a ti when he praised for being impressed when he saw overpowering my opponents all at once. I think I’ve been having conversations with the Lord since then.”
Hmm.
“Will I be praised by the Lord if I subdue you at once?” I muttered in thought.
“Ple-please, save …I still have a lot of regrets in my life…”
I stared at Procyon.
Regen seed to be more comfortable with Procyon than . As soon as he saw Procyon, he wanted to cry right away.
What was Regen trying to tell Procyon?
“Your Highness Vi, what’s wrong with the Lord?”
I sighed.
“I thought the Lord liked , but I don’t think that’s it.”
“I don’t think that’s a bit like that… Is there any way to do it?! If you give an end, I’ll dig into it! So please!”
I stared at Procyon, who actively promoted his competence.
“Can I ask you for a favor?”
“Of course! Believe in your loyalist!”
Procyon saluted and ran to fulfill his duties.
‘But have you still not given up on being my loyalist?’

The snow that had poured out for several days stopped.
But the snow beca ice, and I couldn’t even see outside the Cyclan Castle.
“Aedis, I see why you lived a chipper life.”
The fla in the fireplace was like the fla of my life. In other words, if that turns off, I’d die.
“It’s too cold here. Ventilation is important, but I don’t even like opening the windows.”
Aedis, who was braiding my hair, laughed.
I shuddered and pulled the blanket over my knees. A warm knee blanket that was light enough to carry around was a necessity.
“Your Majesty, I brought tea.”
Sarah gave hot tea. She looked sadly at , who kept shrinking underneath my blanket.
Sarah was wearing a neat maid outfit that was no different from the sumr in the capital.
“Sarah, aren’t you cold?”
“The first day was a little cold, but now that I’m used to it, it’s bearable.”
“You an you’ve already adjusted?”
The butler and the maid said that it would take two weeks for the capital people to adapt to the northern environnt.
I was taking so ti because I got sick.
Sarah replied with her bright, lively voice, “Why don’t you try moving your body vigorously, Your Highness Vi? You haven’t even looked inside the castle yet. I can guide you from the top to the basent warehouse.”
She was a very diligent maid. She said that she seems to be getting paid while playing and overeating. When did you go around like that?
“I’ll do it after removing all the cat decorations.”
As an excuse, I lifted the teacup and blew on it, while Sarah sent a subtle gaze to Aedis.
Sarah seed to think I was lazy because of Aedis’ influence.
But Sarah, look out the window. It was only ice wherever you looked.
Hell outside the blanket…
“Your Highness, Lord Procyon has co.”
‘Whoops.’
I corrected my posture at the butler’s words.
“Tell him to co in.”
Shortly after granting permission, Procyon staggered in.
He sat next to and quickly bowed down when he saw Aedis, who was preoccupied with smoothing my hair.
“Greetings—”
“Cut it short.”
Aedis cut out the lengthy greeting without even looking at Procyon.
It was a cold voice that made flinch without my knowledge, but Procyon received orders as if he were familiar with it.
“Yes, then greetings Your Highn…*”
“Cut it short.”
(T/N: Procyon is greeting Maevia this ti, in Korean, the na cos first, so you’ll know he was greeting Maevia. But in English, the title cos first. So if I write ‘Your Highness Vi’ then the greetings would be over and it won’t make sense.)
When I tried to imitate Aedis, Procyon sobbed, “What’s wrong with my greetings?”
What was his reaction?
Procyon, noticeably sullen, sat on the opposite sofa. He was like a golden retriever with drooping ears.

TL Note:
The Knight ntioned once that was guarding Gilbert, Agena, was mistranslated as Azena in the s. I’m sorry!
Looking at the trend that the Knights are nad after stars, Agena is one!
Agena or the Beta Centaurus.
