chapter 29
Should I say it’s your son? But I didn’t want to admit that much. Unlike Sister Sophia, you left me in the second annex for 12 years.
Now why should I admit her as my parent?
My parents are the only two who raised me with love in my previous life.
Meanwhile, at my self-introduction, the woman stood blankly with her eyes wide open.
“… … May I ask about the business of your visit?”
To my question, she didn’t say a word. It’s just that the lips are moving.
And after a while, did he regain his senses?
She swallowed in one gulp, then straightened her expression.
“this… … . This mansion is like my home. The same goes for this second annex. I’m going around my house, what do you need?”
At her answer, I smiled slightly and nodded my head.
“That is also true. I just asked you a question because you haven’t visited the second annex for over 10 years. If I said anything rude, I apologize.”
“… … okay.”
I listened to her answer and wiped the sweat from my forehead with a towel.
“Anyway, I think I need to wash myself a little. Excuse me first.”
I turned my head and entered the annex.
And, as if a young maid coming out of the front door had discovered Phyllis, she hurriedly went into the annex and called for Mirva.
Phyllis’s visit caused a great uproar in the second annex.
but… … .
“I’m going to take a bath, so take care of yourself. If you have any business, please show me to the first room.”
“Ah, I see.”
Mirva nodded at my instruction and hurriedly left the annex.
* * *
“Madam, why are you here… … .”
As Mirva, who oversees the second annex, approached, Phyllis glanced at the second floor of the mansion and clenched her fist.
No way, I never thought Kayneth would grow up like that.
“… … What is the child doing now?”
“If you’re referring to the boy, he just went back to his bedroom to take a bath.”
“I guess we should eat here today.”
Phyllis had the maid who had followed her deliver a message to the main building. And then I went into the second annex without any hesitation.
Seeing that, Mirva had to put on a slightly embarrassed expression.
But few people can stop her in this mansion. Even if they, who are only mere maids, offended Phyllis… … .
“Ji, I’ll pass it on to prepare a meal right now.”
“Yes, and be sure to send Kaynes down as well.”
“Yes, I understand.”
It is said that Mirva is currently serving Kaynes, but even in this mansion, she could not recklessly refuse the order of Phyllis, the third-ranking authority.
For reference, the first ordering authority is the head of household, Grans H Spayone, and the second highest ordering authority is Celia H Spayone, the legitimate wife.
“Come on, change the menu! The master has come. Hurry up!”
Mirva shouted at the chef with an urgent look.
Then he hurriedly went upstairs and called Kaynes.
While he was leisurely enjoying his bath, Keynes looked annoyed when he heard that Phyllis was having dinner at the second annex.
However, seeing Mirva’s contemplative appearance, as if she couldn’t help it, she got out of the bathtub, took a quick shower, and went down to the first floor dressed neatly.
rattle.
At the dining room, Phyllis was already seated preparing a meal.
There were no seats at the dining table in the second annex building, so Keynes had no choice but to sit on the chair across from Phyllis, face to face.
“Whoa… … . What the hell do you want?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I am asking why you would want to dine in such a shabby place.”
“It doesn’t matter since I’ve already delivered the story to the main building. Besides, isn’t the second annex a nice place as well?”
“Yes, it was a very nice place for me to live alone.”
Keynes responded in a slightly thorny voice.
At that moment, Phyllis’s eyes widened.
Episode 26
26. The 2nd Annex of Count Spaiwon’s House (4)
“You are too cheeky. I heard that you were home-trained by Baroness Terben… … . I guess I should fire her.”
Keynes flinched at her cold voice.
“now… … . What are we going to do?”
“I’m trying to correct my arrogant son.”
Phyllis replied with a small smile.
Keynes clenched her fists tightly.
What the hell did she have to fire Sharon? He left himself in the annex for 10 years, but now he’s a son?
‘Sister Sophia… … Have you been enduring this feeling alone?’
Kayneth let out a deep sigh, controlling his anger.
and… … .
“Baroness Terben’s upbringing is excellent. and… … I apologize if my attitude offended you. We will try to fix it in the future.”
He shook his head, suppressing his anger.
Only then was Phyllis smiling brightly.
“Then, let’s go eat.”
“… … yes.”
Kenneth repeatedly clench and open his fists under the table. Finally, we decided to have a quiet meal.
Yes, it would be the correct answer for now to just be patient. Even if you’re trying to be a parent now.
daughter.
As the meal began, Phyllis silently looked at Kayneth.
It’s as if they’re monitoring how properly they observe table etiquette.
And it was Keynes who frowned as if that gaze was uncomfortable.
He hurriedly finished his meal and raised his head.
“I’ll try to go up first.”
“No, sit down. Let’s talk for a while.”
Keynes had to stop trying to get up and sit down again.
“I heard that you are exchanging letters with the daughter of the Rose family.”
“Yes that’s right.”
Two people having a conversation about useless topics. For Keynes, time was meaninglessly spent without any income.
Has it been like 10 minutes?
“Didn’t you say that Baroness Terben was an excellent teacher?”
“yes.”
“Then you should take a test. Just to see how much I learned under that excellent teacher.”
“… … Do as you please.”
Keynes replied with a grave expression.
‘I guess I can solve it roughly and make it about 30 points.’
Did you read Keynes’ thoughts? Phyllis raised the corners of her mouth as she raised her teacup.
“If you can’t get above 80 points average, I’ll fire Baroness Terben and try to find a new tutor.”
At Phyllis’ remark, Kaynez writhed between his brows and smiled.
“Is that necessary? Even if another teacher came anyway, my grades wouldn’t change. Besides, if you’re going to fire Baroness Terben, I’ll be returning with a failed academy entrance exam. You will become the first member of the Spey One family to fail.”
“… … .”
Phyllis, who was holding the teacup, hesitated for a moment.
Then she glared at Kayneth with cold eyes, and she put the teacup down on the table, got up, and approached Kayneth.
Damn!
Kenneth turned his head.
He laughed and said in a small murmur.
“I got it right once, but… … The second one will not stand still.”
“You’re still out of your mind!”
Once again her right hand was raised high.
At that moment, Kayneth dodged her palm as she pushed back her chair.
In the process, Phyllis was startled and tripped over her own leg! I hit my butt.
“… … !”
Kayneth looked down at her with a small sneer at the sight, then walked to the door of the restaurant.
Bubbly.
“Keep quiet like you used to. Then I’ll get decent grades in the academy’s entrance exam, and I’ll marry the Rose family’s daughter as you wish.”
“You, you… … !”
She bit her lip and lit a flame in her right hand.
No way, I thought I would cast a killing spell on my own son.
Kayneth let out a small sigh, then slightly turned his head and gave a cold warning.
“If you throw that spark at me, you won’t get out of here.”
Phyllis was taken aback by the look in Kayneth’s eyes.
She trembled and immediately withdrew the magic. He stopped casting in the middle.
rattle.
When Keynes left the restaurant, Phyllis sat down on the floor, grinding her teeth and clenching her fists.
“dare… … .”
Anger and humiliation began to well up in her chest.
However, she sensed a foreign energy in the bloody atmosphere of Keynes.
He felt mana from his son, who had been judged not to have received the blessing of mana.
“What the hell… … .”
Is the child really his son?
After thinking for a long time, she rose from her seat with the help of the maids who arrived late.
And, as if he had shown a disgraceful appearance to the maids, he immediately ran out of the annex while blushing.
Kayneth watched the scene through the window.
“Wait quietly. Then you will be able to prolong your life a little longer.”
Knowing her fate, he smiled and turned his head away.
* * *
“… … X feet.”
I frowned as I read the letter delivered from the head office.
A letter sent directly to me by Gazoo Grans.
They called me to the main building.
He himself, the owner of the Spey One family.
“There will be unnecessary expenses.”
I bought a magic necklace that hides traces of mana.
“Damn it, I’m tired to death… … .”
Even so, you can’t help but follow the summoning order of the absolute commanding authority of this mansion.
With the help of the maids, I straightened my clothes and left for the main building.
There would be nothing good about taking a hostile route with Granance right now. Rather, if I confronted him now, I might 100% die.
“Tsk… … .”
I clicked my tongue for the first time in my life… … No, did you live in this main building for a year or two after you were born?
Anyway, while searching for vague memories, I went inside the main building and walked through the colorful corridors.
And Servan, the first butler of the Spey One family, who greeted me.
A handsome middle-aged man with gray hair tossed back and a moustache gave me a slight bow and led me to the living room.
“… … .”
Servan didn’t say a word while guiding me.
And finally, I stood in front of the room’s door.
He knocked on the door about three times and informed Grandmaster Grans of my arrival.
“Let it in.”
A dignified man’s voice came from beyond the door.
I thought I had heard it at first glance, but it was a very unfamiliar voice to me now.
And when Servan opened the door, I entered the room with a grave expression.
Tumble.
“… … .”
A middle-aged man in his 40s with long black hair.
My shoulders twitched at his sharp gaze, but I lowered my head, closing my eyes.
“nice to see you. Count Spayone.”
“It’s the first time… … .”
Grans put the ‘tuk’ quill down on the table and stared into my eyes.
Then he looked me up and down as if he was judging something.
