As the Empress conversed with Lord Laurelian, she looked at Claire affectionately, asking if Elliot, Cybill, and Oscar were injured.”I’m okay!”Claire answered bravely. As if the Empress had finished talking, she got up again.She said and she took Sir Laurelian’s hand.”It would be better to go back to nature and talk again.”They thought it was inappropriate to talk about specifics because they had children.”Oscar, take good care of your guests.””Yes, mother.”The Empress also greeted Elliot and Cybill and looked at Claire for the last time.And she said in a friendly voice.”And the baby catches the day and comes to see me again with her mother. I will prepare a delicious snack for you. got it?””Yes, His Majesty the Empress!”When Claire answered bluntly, the Empress smiled cutely.Then he disappeared with her maids, Sir Laurelian and Anna.’… After all, revealing the truth all at once was unreasonable.’「You seem to think it’s a child’s prank. Whatever it is, it’s just a myth… What will you do now, sweetheart?」Claire was worried.’As long as I introduced it to the Empress, the wedding preparations would have been instant…’Right now, I could not use her horde by holding onto the Empress and saying it was true.Claire let out a sigh inside her.’I can’t help it. I have no choice but to return to Hwangseong with her mother as soon as possible.’「Will you believe her words?」’You have to believe it.’She couldn’t see her woman, Anna, who had abused countless children live happily ever after, and she could not see her destroying the empress’s family.* * *After a while.Claire followed Elliot, Cybill, and Oscar to somewhere.When Elliot and Cybill usually came to play with Hwangseong, it seemed like they were going to the place where they stayed.Claire continued to look around as she walked down the hallway.’It’s very flashy.’Perhaps because it is a space where the Crown Prince stayed and educated historically, everything from the murals in the hallway to the decorations was splendid.’… uh?’It was when Claire and her party passed the corridor.Claire found a woman at the end of the hallway wiping her tears. She was a woman in a gorgeous dress.Claire said as she tapped the back of Cybill’s hand, who was standing next to her.”Look over there. Some sister is crying!””Yes?”Cybill turned to look at who Claire was talking to.”… Let’s pretend we don’t know It must be sad.”Claire looked at the man and narrowed his eyes.’Isn’t she one of the maids who came with the empress earlier? Why is she crying over there?’ Cybill stroked Claire’s hair, making his gaze shift away.Claire tilted his head and walked back.And when he got somewhere.Claire was astonished.The place where Oscar brought them in quite naturally was a dedicated library in the Crown Prince’s Palace.’Is it a book linguistic?’But what’s even more surprising?Elliot and Cybill acted casually, as if they were used to it.No, I’m afraid they’re not model students… really…’It’s creepy.’Why the hell are you going to the library?”Let’s find out about the marriage system.””Yeah, the law books are over there!”Even Cybill and Elliot whispered something inaudible, then headed towards the back of the bookshelf.Thanks to this, Clair was left with Oscar in front of a large sofa and table.’Well…’Claire thought as she looked at the backs of Elliot and Cybill disappearing in the distance.’I rather like it.’The two of them fall for each other so nicely!Yes, get a little closer! Let’s get closer!That was a good thing. I had a present for Oscar and something to say.”Brother Oscar.”Claire got up from her seat and looked around her table, and then she dared to go to the seat next to Oscar and sit down.Oscar was embarrassed to see Clair like that, but he naturally handed him a cookie that was laid out on the table.Claire said calmly accepting it.”Hey. A while ago, that older sister hit me like this! pushed.””… Really?”The first thing he said was taunting.”Yes. But what surprised me was… It’s a secret that her sister has a baby in her belly, but I must have been mad when I told her.””Aren’t you hurt?””Yes. But I was so terribly angry that I cried.””He’s a strange person.”Oscar’s forehead was wrinkled. She was like that, and her lively eyes, and she was a strange woman.It must have been suspicious to look at such a cute young child like that.Claire said.”Yes? It’s good to have a baby in your belly.””that…”Oscar tried to explain something.The nobles thought Claire was too young to say that it was a disgrace to have children before marriage.Of course, since Oscar was still young, he didn’t know the specifics, but he knew that he shouldn’t have children before marriage.Oscar just pursed his lips and gently stroked Claire’s head.She had a half-brother but wasn’t close, and even less her sister had never been.She didn’t know how to deal with her sister, who had been so shocked that she cried. She says she looks fine outside, but…’By the way, you’re eating well.’Oscar smiled inside her as she watched Clair munching on her cookies.”Oh. I brought a present to give to Oscar’s brother…”Claire wiped her hands covered with her cookie crumbs and brought her bag on her back to the front.It was a bag tied with a pink teddy bear.Claire did not open her bag and glanced at Oscar.’Why are you reacting like that when you say it’s a gift?’Oscar blinked his eyes with a blank expression.’You don’t like gifts?’Can you do that? How could anyone do that?When Claire heard the word gift, her heart raced quickly.The word gift was one of those magical words that drove little children crazy. It was an instinct, an irresistible force that could never be suppressed.But you’re so calm…’He has a strong heart because he’s the main character.’Claire thought it was great too and told Oscar.”You have to close your eyes.””Huh?””I close my eyes when I receive a present.””… Ah.”Oscar then closed his eyes. Claire stared at him for a moment.Maybe because his eyelashes were so long, he had a great atmosphere even at a young age.”You should reach out your hand.””…”At that, Oscar smiled and held out his hands.Claire glanced around for a moment.It’s a big deal for Cybill and Elliot to see. Because I couldn’t prepare a gift for the two of them.’It’s a big deal if you cry out loud.’Claire put something out of her bag on Oscar’s palm.”Now open your eyes.”Oscar’s eyes opened, revealing a red pupil. The first thing that caught his eye was Claire’s face.Even when giving a present, Claire had an expression full of anticipation, like a gift recipient.’Is my younger sister like this?’It’s not a special day, but I’m giving you a present…Every time Oscar faced Claire, it felt like her hard heart was forcibly softened.Just like basking in a warm stove.It seems that her sister was originally like that. Little by little, Elliot began to envy him.Oscar thought that what was placed on the palm of his hand would feel good, even if it was a candy shell or a stone.If that’s what this cute kid gives.However, the gift Claire gave was unexpected.”This…”A heavy metal was placed on the palm of the hand. As soon as I squeezed it, I heard a clicking noise.”Isn’t she pretty?”Claire asked.The gift Clair gave was a blue pendant that was the perfect size to fit in the palm of the hand.”But this…”Oscar’s expression became subtle.Claire was also the expected reaction.This pendant was no ordinary pendant.blue pendant.In this world, there was a culture in which his father directly taught his children swordsmanship.And if you have mastered swordsmanship to a certain extent, you will receive a pendant as a gift. It was customary to give a blue pendant to his son and a red pendant to his daughter.That is why it was also a symbol of father’s love.Wealthy nobles also enchanted pendants with protection magic. There was a story that the effect would be stronger if the father’s magic was used when casting protection magic.The magic of his father’s love was a kind of ingredient and seasoning.Therefore, there was a rumor that the stronger the heart to care for children, the stronger the protective magic.Of course, since the protective magic is activated when the child is in danger, it was difficult to confirm the actual power.Because most parents kept their children within safe boundaries.Anyway, this pendant is precious as long as it has a warm meaning and symbolism.So noble men always had to wear this pendant for official occasions.It was because it was commonly used as a meaning of being supported by the family.’But Oscar had never received this pendant from his father.’
