The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Chapter 125



Chapter 125

At this point, it might be a little questionable.

Did Cedric actually hate me?

But looking at it again, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

It’s because he’s coughing and making nonsensical noises.

“……Hmm, if you want to attend the birthday party held in my family, you can come to my birthday next year, alright? Then I’ll send you an invitation.”

“You told me to burn the invitation?”

Cedric was furious at my brazen question.

“Are you crazy to burn it? My invitation is, of course, an exception.”

“Hmph.”

I snorted at the absurd logic.

Is your word fart (like no integrity :p)? It was so bad that you asked me to make an exception.

“Anyway, I see. If you’re going to buy Sir Ceyden’s birthday present, I’ll follow you.”

“Okay, fine.”

Cedric then made a face saying that he liked it (the idea).

Then I had a question.

“But then, are we the only ones going to the market?”

“Of course.”

“Without an escort?”

On the contrary, Cedric was dumbfounded as if I was asking something so obvious.

“What are you worried about with me? I am the escort.”

“What?”

I put on a disgusted look.

Then Cedric made a face as if he was a little hurt.

“…are you not sure about me?”

“…can I be honest?”

“……”

Cedric was silent about my question, but in the end I answered honestly.

“Yes. I’m not very sure.”

In a decade or so, it may not be the case in the future, but it is true that it is a little unconvincing right now.

‘It’s more that I’m not sure because of his clumsy and hot-tempered personality rather than his skills.’

Well, what does he want me to do as it was all true.

“Keugh……”

Then Cedric fell down and let out a groan.

My candid answer must have been quite hurtful. Will there be a scratch on his pride as a knight?

“Hey, don’t be so heartbroken. Because we’re still a little bit young. No matter how strong Sir Cedric is, I think you are still at the age that needs a guardian.”

“I’m not young. I’m seven years old.”

‘Ooff, stubborn.’

I shook my head. Then asked in a slightly serious tone.

“If we went to the market together. But there we met a very bad guy. So, for example, a kidnapper? He’s the kind of criminal who targets the children of wealthy nobles like us. What if that happens?”

“What should we do? Isn’t it enough to take out the long sword from my waist and cut that bastard?”

“Well……”

“Do I look like a cowardly knight that can’t even deal with such criminals?”

It’s not wrong for some reason, but why is it so uncomfortable?

I broke out in a cold sweat and avoided Cedric’s gaze. Then, knowing that I had won, Cedric added evidence to my argument.

“And I’m not the only one… Sir Jake is an excellent wizard right now. Alice what is it, there are fairies that can be summoned.”

“Um, but it’s still a bit…”

“I didn’t see it that way, Emir, are you quite a coward?”

It looked like Cedric was trying to use the brave heart tactic.

What should I do?

It seems that Cedric had a very impressive memory from hiding and playing with us in the Imperial Palace some time ago.

Of course, I had fun back then too. Phew.

It was then. Suddenly, someone interrupted our conversation. It was Jake.

“Mir, don’t worry too much.”

“……?”

Jake continued with a bright smile.

“I have a good idea.”

“Oh oh! Also as expected of the wizard, Little Lord Jake. What is the way? Come on, tell me.”

At Cedric’s urging, Jake laughed.

Then he whispered a little so that only us could hear it.

“That’s… yes.”

“……!”

“A good idea!”

***

What was the method?

“An artifact that makes a child a momentary adult?”

“Yes.”

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

“How could such a thing exist?”

It was just to seek the help of an artifact.

Jake said that there were several artifacts that had just been tested, so he brought them in.

Besides, it was in the form of a bracelet that was easy to carry on the body.

“It only works for half a day, so we shouldn’t be in the market for too long.”

Jake explained the precautions.

Then Cedric answered confidently.

“Don’t worry. I’ll just buy a present for my older brother and come right back.”

However, he was already very excited, and I was worried about whether he would be able to keep that promise.

As for how we are now, each of us was dressed more modestly than usual and relatively inconspicuous.

Nicholas was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and Ninaina was wearing a dark gray dress like how an academy student would wear.

“I think this outfit will suffice.”

Alice was wearing her usual beige clothes.

Jake seemed to have borrowed the clothes worn by the little stable keeper at the Duchy of Theoin.

Cedric stood out relatively abit.

It was because he was wearing a uniform that would be worn by commoner knights, not nobles.

“I have to be a knight anytime, anywhere.”

Cedric said that. A sturdy sword and scabbard hung from his side.

And I…
