This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Are you done talking?

But in that situation, Marion dragged her son in front of Islay.

"Nicholas, say hello to the Duke?"

"Oh, hello."

Frustrated by the cold eyes of Islay, the child bows his head.

It's quite different from the way he yells at his mother and servants earlier.

But seeing the child's low spirits, the look on his face never seemed to let go.

"Nicholas is the same as before."

"What?"

"He's noisy, and has the habit of being rude to everyone still hasn't been fixed."

With a calm voice as if telling the truth, the child's expression had hardened.

But Islay's gaze was cold to Nicholas.

Of course, it was Nicholas who lost interest in the children.

Even though he was still a little boy, Nicholas looks like a bad adult.

He has a strong personality to the weak.

Now, in front of Islay, there were a lot of servants who acted like gentle sheep but silent because of Nicholas's misdeeds.

Moreover, the parents who are supposed to teach this child strictly spoiled the child very much.

"Oh, Duke."

Then, Marion opened her mouth with a sad face.

"You're the only cousin I have, and you can be a little nicer to me, right?"

"......."

The question of why I should do that rose to the top of my neck, but Islay endured it first.

Meanwhile, Islay's gaze touched the outfit Nicholas was wearing.

The yellow jacket and white pants were familiar uniforms.

"Is Nicholas wearing the school uniform of Polina Kindergarten?"

"Oh, that's right. Thank you so much for remembering my son's kindergarten."

"No, I didn't remember it because of Nicholas."

Islay cut the speech.

The reason why he even knew the appearance of school uniforms in kindergarten was simple.

because Bianca is attending Polina Kindergarten.

'......and by the way, I didn't see Bibi in her school uniform.'

When I imagined Bianca wearing a yellow coat and a white pleated skirt, Islay unknowingly had a smile on his face.

It looks like a Lovely little fluffy chick.

'It's a bad thing to go to see Evelyn, but why don't you see Bibi from afar?'

I don't think you'll notice that much.

Islay, who thought so, smiled bitterly.

What a strange thing, Bianca is certainly not his daughter.

'It feels like she's my daughter.'

When Islay was pondering his affection.

Marion said with a forced smile.

"But what, do we have to send our son to a kindergarten mixed with children of the common people?... I feel a little skeptical."

At the words, Islay's expression hardened finely.

"No matter how social it is, what if Nicholas is in bad shape?"

Marion let out a deep sigh.

At that time, Islay suddenly opened his mouth.

"Eaton Viscountess."

"Yes, Duke!"

Towards the elated Marion, Islay let out a deep sneer.

"Madam, you're really worrying about useless things."

"......What? What do you mean?"

"Right? Nicholas is not a badly affected child, he IS a badly affected child."

With a strange voice, Marion's face turned red.

"Duke, what are you talking about......!"

"It was frankly useless of you to come all the way here to say hello to me."

Islay said, cutting off Marion's words.

"Why would you come to see me personally?"

"Well, the Eaton family is a member of the Neidharts family......."

"If you're officially here as a police officer, I think you should visit with your husband."

Being so determined that even a needle could not penetrate, Marion was speechless.

"I hope we don't have this kind of personal encounter next time."

"Come on, hold on a second!"

Marion hastily tried to hold on to Islay, but Islay shook his head firmly.

"Well, I don't think we need to talk anymore."

His eyes, which had returned to warmth talking about his contract with Evelyn, were now cold again.

Islay looked back at Emma.

"I'll be leaving, Mrs. Sutherland."

"Oh, yes."

Leaving Marion and Nicholas behind, Islay strode.

Emma, who was following Islay in her tracks, suddenly looked back.

Marion, who dyed her face red, was seen chewing on her lips.

'Oh, my God.'

Emma swallowed dry saliva.

I had a hunch that I would be bothered for some reason.

The next day...

Evelyn visited the top of Sutherland early in the morning.

It was to proceed with the contract.

Emma, who had been waiting in advance, greeted Evelyn with a gentle smile.

"Welcome, Eve. Sit this way."

"Oh, thank you."

Emma, who offered Evelyn a seat, laid down thick papers on the table.

"This is a contract, but you can't sign it recklessly. First, read it carefully."

"Can I say that? Shouldn't the Lord of the Upper have the best interests?"

"It's a friend-specific privilege, so be grateful."

At Evelyn's playful question, Emma smiled mischievously.

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."

Nodding, Evelyn began to look at the papers.

Pumpkin eyes turning over the documents gradually subsided calmly.

"If you have any conditions that you think are unfair, tell me, I'll reflect on them."

"No, I don't think there's such a thing."

Evelyn, who carefully examined the contract, shook her head.

There was no problem at all, but the conditions themselves were quite good.

Even at the top of Sutherland, I could feel that Emma was very considerate and caring.

"Then shall we proceed with the contract as it is?"

"I think it's good."

"Here, then, sign here."

To overshadow the nervousness, the contract was simply terminated.

Emma, who took the papers, smiled.

"I look forward to your kind cooperation."

"Yes, me too."

In response, Evelyn blushed on both cheeks.

"......Huh?"

Meanwhile, Emma opened her eyes round.

A luxury wagon was sliding in through the window.

And the sentence on the carriage.......

"...Isn't that a sentence from the Duke of Neidhart?"

Evelyn asked in a questionable voice.

But that too, for a moment, shocked Evelyn's face.

With the help of Islay, the bright blonde girl getting off the wagon is.......

"Bibi?!"

Because it was Bianca, her only daughter.

–

Evelyn and Emma rushed down the building.

No wonder Bianca, who had a sulky face, was in her arms as soon as she saw Evelyn.

"Mom!"

"Yes, my Bibi."

Comforting Bianca, Evelyn looked down.

'......dids he cry?'

Not only were the eyes swollen, but tears remained on the soft cheeks.

Her heart sank, she bombarded Bianca with questions.

"What's going on, kindergarten? Why did you come here with the Duke?"

"That's......."

When asked countless questions, Bianca was speechless and dawdling for a moment.

Then Islay opened his mouth carefully.

"Eve, I'll explain that part."

"The Duke?"

"Yes, actually, my nephew Nicholas Eaton attends Polina Kindergarten......."

–

After learning that Nicholas and Bianca were in the same kindergarten, Islay was inwardly paying attention to Bianca.

"I'm worried that Nicholas may be violent against Bianca."

Knowing Nicholas' personality added to that concern.

Because Nicholas, who looked just like his parents, tended to see people of lower status as bugs.

"You won't notice it if you look from afar.'

This is all for Bibi.

Eventually unable to overcome the temptation, Islay, so self-justified, headed to Polina Kindergarten.

And I saw a scene that perfectly matched his expectations.

"What brings you home early?"

Nicholas started a quarrel in a crooked voice.

Bianca glanced at Nicholas with cool eyes and strode ahead.

Following Bianca closely, Nicholas was furious.

"Are you ignoring me?"

"......."

Instead of answering back, Bianca only bit her lips.

Nicholas was a relative of the Duke of Neidhart, who used it to reign like a king among children.

For Nicholas, Bianca was a perfect prey to bully.

A child of lower status than other children, but noticeably pretty and cute.

In addition, I liked the idea of taking care of myself in case I caused trouble and damaged my mother.

It won't bother you if you bully me a little.

So Nicholas secretly harassed Bianca, avoiding the teacher's eyes.

Because it was fun to see Bianca holding back her tears.

"If you ignore what I say, you'll have no choice but to answer anyway."

"......."

"Honestly, isn't it? You always stay late in kindergarten, don't you think you know?"

Bianca stopped walking at the words.

Then she stares at Nicholas with a fierce look.

"Are you done talking?"

Nicholas flinched for a moment, but the problem was that all the children were looking this way.

If Nicholas takes a step back from this, he'll be looked down on by the other kids.

Besides, what are you going to do with your anger?

"No, I didn't."

"What else do you want to say?"

"Your mom, she's a beggar, isn't she?

At that moment, Bianca's amber eyes caught fire.

"You know, how much money do you have left in kindergarten all the time?"

To pump up Bianca's medicine, Nicholas grinned with envy.

"But it's not like someone else is coming to pick you up, and if it's a house without a servant, it's definitely a beggar......."

At that moment, Bianca grabbed Nicholas by the collar.

A painful scream broke out in Nicholas's mouth.

"Hey, let go of me!"

"How dare you tell my mother she's a beggar!"

Bianca, angry to the top of her head, raised her voice.

Children with their eyes wide open gathered in the middle of the rain.

"Hey, a fight between Bianca and Nicholas!"

Bianca dumped Nicholas on the floor.

Nicholas was squirming and yelling.

"Let go! Let go!"

"Why me? You'll see today, you think I'll leave you alone?"

Her eyes, shining like a young beast, glared, devouring Nicholas.

Besides, there was something Nicholas didn't know, Bianca was a child who had already had numerous fights with other children in Annette.

The quarrel between the children was full of nerves.

In front of Bianca, Nicholas, who had only grown up to be a master of the noble family, collapsed helplessly.

There was no answer to clenching her fist, picking out only the most painful parts, and punching them.

"How dare you hit me? Uh, uh, uh......!"

Nicholas was crying out loud.

Bianca glared at Nicholas with a pathetic look.

"What did you do to cry?"

"Oh, I'm gonna tell my mom!"

"Do you have anything else to say but say to your mother?"

On the face of it, Bianca snapped a little inwardly.

Nicholas is the son of Eaton, and if he complains to his mother about this.......

'Mom's going to be in trouble.'

What if I tell my mom to apologize or pay her compensation?

When I was thinking about it.

I heard a calm voice.

"Bibi says the right thing."

With a familiar voice, Bianca raised her head.

A gentleman of elegant appearance was smiling like a picture.

"Le, Mr. Lay?"

It was Islay.

Slanted, Islay looked at the two children alternately.

Nicholas, whose face has been ruined by bruises and tears, and Bianca, who breathes hard in the quarter.

Looking at the complete contrast, Islay slipped a smile unknowingly.

"Du, Duke!"

Then Nicholas sprang up from his seat.

Nicholas looked as bright as he could have thought that Islay would be on his side.

"She hit me!"

Nicholas pointed his finger at Bianca and snitched wildly.

"A scrawny little girl who may have rolled over, and I, the heir to the Eaton......!"

"So what?"

At that time, Islay asked back coldly.

Nicholas opened his eyes as he didn't even hear the end of his snitch.
