Suddenly a Nanny!?
Eps. 51 Past (6) meeting Olivia's father

A night without the moon and stars. Dark clouds began to cover the night sky. The wind smoothly entered the room up to Merlin's body.

The lightning bolt began to show its light. Signs of rain are coming soon. Merlin sat on the bed in half-open clothes. He was still holding a small knife that was covered in blood.

Now the bed is full of Austin blood. He lay helpless in Merlin's lap.

"Hoshis... Hoshs... I-I made it...?" Merlin Mumbled. He stood up and went to the bathroom. He began to clean up a second time. After that clean the small knife and also the floor.

He was wearing the new clothes he was wearing at the party. After he thought he had finished his business there, he left without a trace.

On the way, the rain began to rain down on him. He was grateful for the rain. Therefore there are no footprints on the ground and the guards will have trouble finding the culprit.

Despite many challenges before committing premeditated murder, he is willing to sleep with Austin who almost snatched his jewelry a second time.

But he did it to avenge Austin's actions on him and Blair, Merlin and Austin's son.

Now his heart is relieved, but there is a desire to make Blair the heir to the throne even from the womb of a maid like himself.

That's what he's doing because all he has to think about now is protecting Blair from the bad guys.

...****************...

Days change, years change. Now Blair has grown into a healthy boy thanks to the hard work of a.

He also had to accept abuse from those around him. Because of that desire he wanted to make people silence that Blair also included the royal family more excited.

"How can I go back to the palace? I want to make Blair the next king" Merlin told Sia's grandmother. He was the one who took care of Blair when Merlin worked in the store.

"It's very hard! After the previous king died with severe care in the Kingdom became more tight" said Sia's grandmother who already knew about it.

"But there's one way that's probably going to take a while" he said.

"What is grandma?"

"You must enter in a noble family, there is no need to be upper class. At least you can take temporary refuge in the family"

"It seems a bit difficult"

"You try it, in your tavern there must be a lot of nobles passing by there. Now go to work"

"Okay, I'll go first"

He has arrived at work. In the shop where he worked there were many visitors. But not to enjoy the menus that are there but to see Merlin working. Her beauty still attracted people to her.

I don't want to be with these stupid guys! My plan might fail. Inner Merlin.

"Hey! Give me sweet wine as sweet as you" Tempted the man who was there.

"Who agreed Merlin is accompanying us here!"

"Me! I agree"

"Well Merlin let's have a drink together"

Merlin could only stroke a long breath. It became his daily job. It is enough to sit in the midst of the men and just be silent to hear them talk about something.

"Thank you Merlin for today!"

After two more hours Merlin accompanied them finally they finished and left.

"Yourf..."

"Prophe Merlin, thanks to you the store so crowded" said one of his friends at the store.

"Excuse me!" A man came in fairly modest clothes.

"This is who you serve" said Merlin as he left his place.

"really? He seems to be a noble. I rarely see him here"

"Wait, what? Nobility?" Said Merlin who was back to approach his friend.

"Yes, usually the ones who rarely come here are the nobles ranging from the top to the bottom. Unlike those stupid guys who just spend the money"

"Let me handle it!"

"Eh? Why suddenly?"

Merlin picked up the menu book and walked towards the man.

I just need to get acquainted and for sure he will be immediately captivated by me. Inner Merlin.

"Excuse me sir, please introduce my name Merlin. Can I help you?" Merlin said while smiling sweetly at the man.

"Eong... Do I need to introduce myself first?" Said.

"Right sir, there's no harm, no"

"True, well my name is Arden, Arden Chase" said Arden.

It turns out, he's a noble.

"What do you want to order?"

"Select the main menu here"

"Good sir"

His friend was confused by Merlin's changed attitude. A little while later Merlin returned to bring warm food and drinks to be served.

"Well, it looks really good" Praise Arden.

"Please enjoy sir"

Arden enjoyed the meal.

"Sorry sir, since the tavern is a bit quiet may I accompany you to eat?" Merlin.

"Ah, yes it is possible" said Arden and ate again his food.

Damn, why does he look unattracted by me? Inner Merlin.

"What are you doing in this remote town?" Merlin asked opening his voice.

"I'm looking for a cure for my wife"

The deg! Already had a wife.

"Ah so apparently, surely you love your wife very much"

"Truly, I love him and my daughter very much. I'll bring them here sometime"

The conversation left Merlin heartbroken. That's not what he wanted to hear from Arden.

After finishing all the food, Arden paid and left. Merlin put on his pouting face.

"Hey, how did you approach a man first?" Friend said.

"Huf... Was he the only noble who first came here?" ask Merlin.

"That's right, but he seems to be a lowly noble, judging by his style alone is very simple."

If only he can make me a temporary shelter, I must approach him at all costs!

...****************...

The next day, Arden came to visit again to find dinner. He is not interested in anyone other than his wife. Hence he was not captivated by Merlin.

"Hey Merlin pour that wine for me!" The men who were tempted at Merlin again asked him to accompany them.

But seeing Arden coming, he rushed out of the men and approached Arden.

"Where is he going?"

"Welcome sir, you're coming again!" Merlin said happily.

"Ah yes, I'm here for dinner. Please bring me some simple food"

"Well, you wait a minute"

Shortly after, Merlin came with food.

"This sir please dinikma-"

"Merlina! Come here!" the man's voice made Merlin's mood go bad.

Fuck up! just disturb!

"I'm sorry, but haven't you guys been with me for a long time?" Merlin.

One of the men came and tried to pull Merlin's hand.

"Let's!"

"You're this, so dare to say that to us yes, let's hurry we need entertainment..."

"But I don't want to!"

"Take him off!" Arden.

The man fell silent and looked towards Arden.

"Didn't he say he didn't, other than that... I asked him to accompany me. So don't bother us!" Arden said and pulled Merlin's hand.

"Curtain! Shit..." The man immediately went back to his horde.

"You okay?"

"It's okay sir, thank you"

Long story short, Arden and Merlin become familiar. They exchanged stories with each other. Therefore Merlin helped him meet a healer to heal his wife.

After getting the medicine, Arden returned to his residence. For a week Merlin never saw Arden again.

But one day Arden came back to see Merlin. He thanked her for meeting him with the doctor. My wife is recovering well.

Arden went back there to buy the medicine again. But it made Merlin not so happy. Until finally he asked the doctor to change his medicine so that his wife's disease was getting worse.

The physician obeyed Merlin only because he had been bribed with some gold coins. At that time Arden bought her medicine and the healer gave Arden the medicine.

He returned to his residence. But after that for months Arden did not return to see Merlin.

Merlin took the initiative to go there with Blair. Only then could they take refuge in order to enter the palace and give Blair the throne.

But it's not easy to find Arden. Until he met one of the people there.

"Excuse me madam, is there a Arden Chase here?" Ask Merlin.

"Ah, Mr Arden? Who doesn't know him here? I know him very well."

"Certainly, can you tell me where he is now?"

"Hm... From here it's pretty far, but what do you want to see him?"

"Eung, that... I just want to see his sick wife"

"Unfortunately, his wife passed away a month ago."

"really?"

"If you want to go there, just follow this road until you find the right-hand fork"

"Thank you madam"

"Yes together"

Merlin and Blair continue on.

"Mom, where are we going? Who is Arden Chase? Is he a mother acquaintance?" Ask Blair.

"Yes he's a mother acquaintance. Ohiya, your magic should not be seen by others, if you know what?"

"It's going to be kidnapped and it's going to be locked up underground" Blair continued.

"That's right, so be careful!" Merlin realized that he was now in the kingdom. Blair has to keep his identity as a royal family.

They arrived at Arden's residence. Now the house looks very quiet. There was no guard at all in front of the gate.

"Can I just go in?" Merlin Mumbled. Suddenly someone from behind approached them.

"Who are you?"

"Let's!"

"Huh!? Merlin?" Arden said surprised by his arrival.

"Tu-- sir?"

"What-What are you guys doing here?"

...****************...

Merlin and Arden were in his study while Blair was waiting in the living room.

"Sorry sir, I didn't mean to just walk in. There was no one outside" Merlin said.

"It's okay, there was no one outside after my wife died"

"I'm so sorry for Miss Chase" Merlin said.

"Yes, and now what's the reason you came here?" Ask Arden.

"That's, I quit the tavern because I wasn't comfortable with their behavior. When you defended me at the time, I was very happy and comfortable with you" Merlin said.

"It turns out they still bother you huh. I also couldn't stop by after my wife left us. My daughter must be very sad for her mother's passing."

"It's okay sir, I understand. It is precisely I who is too troublesome for you. And don't you want to find a companion again especially for the princess master?" Merlin.

"Ah... That's why I haven't thought about it"

Ish... Why is it so hard to persuade himself? Looks like I should do that. Inner Merlin.

"That's what it looks like, but sir..." Merlin began to approach Arden and held his hand.

"Can I stay here for a while? You can hire me in the kitchen or clean up. I have no place to stay anymore sir" Merlin said.

"Ah... Ba-Alright" said Arden as he let go of his hand and slightly kept his distance.

"You and your son can stay here" Arden said

"Thank you very much, sir. I will work hard for you!"

And that's how Merlin and Blair can stay there with various plans that have been designed by Merlin.
