The Count Family's Young Master
Chapter 9 - Love (3)

“Lady.”

Valias turned his head after grabbing a berry in one part of the garden.

No wonder Valias can live.

If the trees were so varied that you could trade the fruits, you would not go hungry.

Although still lacking other nutrients. “Why?”

“How about we get together with young master's family now?”

The waiter put on his smile. Valias realized the sky was starting to lack sunlight. Inserting the berries that were sandwiched between his two fingers into his mouth, Valias led the way into the mansion.

Just like two days ago, Valias arrived at the large hall before approaching the large door that this time opened. There was only Danial and Dina who were sitting while looking at him.

??

Unlike yesterday, this time Danial and Dina sat facing each other. With three empty seats on the side yesterday Hadden sat. While the seat where Valias sat yesterday is no longer there. “Kakak!”

Valias looked back at Dina. “We will make a surprise for father and mother!”

“...Surprise?”

“Please sit, sister.” Danial carried his hand towards the chair next to Dina. L Dina patted her thighs quickly.

“Snack quickly sit!”

“O.. Okay.” Valias was somewhat surprised by the changes but still began to bring himself to occupy the seat appointed Danial.

Valias looked towards Danial, expecting an explanation. But Danial showed no sign of answering. It was precisely Dina who began to speak with full energy to Valias. “Dad misses sister very much. Me and Danial are sure dad would be happy if brother sat nearby like that.”

..Oh..

The three of them did not make a sound. Danial seemed so skilled that he made himself sit quietly like the monk Valias used to see on television. While Dina's gaze on him could she clearly feel.

“You're happy?” Valias tried to get Dina to talk.

“Tomorrow morning we will go to the palace. I've never been there. Only Danial has. Brother has never been, has he?”

“Iya.”

Not mind palace. Valias doesn't know what's going on in Bardev.

“Ah.”

Dina turned her face away. Following the movement of Dina's head, Valias and Danial turned towards the door where they could see their father and mother who set foot into the room.

They look surprised. Like Valias just now.

“Mother!”

“Iya, Dina.” Ruri replied with a gentle smile.

“Dad, Mom, please sit.” Danial repeated what he did to Valias.

Ruri pulls Hadden's arm trying to resuscitate her husband who was pecking at the doorway. After leading Hadden to his seat, Ruri sat across from Valias.

Ruri calmed herself down. He was still a bit nervous about facing Valias. His heart was not much different from Hadden's. But of course he managed to control himself.

Without her expecting it, the boy in front of her opened his mouth first.

“Good afternoon, mom.”

Uh.

Setting her voice, Ruri replied to him.

“Sore, Valias.”

Ruri observed the red-haired child who had just started living in the same building as her one year ago. Then two days ago, the first time the boy had joined his family.

Ruri doesn't matter if Valias still doesn't want to open her heart to him. But he hopes the boy can open his heart to his father and two brothers.

“You already feel better?”

Valias smiled and for a moment Ruri was stunned by that smile. The burden on his heart lifted. “I'm all right, mom. Sorry for making mom worry.”

“Thank God. Food will be coming soon.”

Ruri glanced at her husband who had yet to open his voice at all.

“My husband?”

“A-Ah, yes.”

Hadden cursed himself who was still nervous about facing his own son. Thudding. He is a father, and the head of the family. He was even the current leader of his territory. But he still could not control himself in the face of his own eldest son.

The door opened and the waiter came in with food. Some plates with a variety of food are more served on the table.

Alister appeared beside him with an ordinary smile, putting the dishes and cutlery in front of Valias before returning to stand by the door.

“Your father wants to make an event for you before departure with us to the palace tomorrow.”

Ruri showed a warm smile of hers to Valias.

“Is that? Then I thank you.” Valias turned to Hadden and gave a small smile. Hadden accepted the smile and replied with a warm smile.

“Thank you back, Valias. Dad is happy if you are happy.”

Valias nodded.

Ruri observed her family members one by one.

“Come start eating you.”

After going through a prayer session like yesterday the little family began to reach for the food served to each plate. Ruri got up from her seat slightly, advancing her body. Poked out his hand and placed a piece of meat that had been covered in sauce on Valias' plate.

“..Ah.. Thanks, Mom.”

“Sister! Eat this too!”

Dina had promised to make her sister eat more so that she would not have to touch her brother's bones again.

He took a large piece of cheese bread from his own plate and placed it on the meat of Ruri who was now covered by the bread.

Valias did not expect that and slightly frowned but still put on a smile.

“Thanks.”

“Eat this too.”

Hadden also added a serving of baked potatoes to his son's plate.

Now Valias' plate is filled with more food than each of his family's plates.

....Do I have to spend all this?

Valias never eats that much. Even when he lived in the village. And with a part-time job income. Valias used to eat a little and often only ate his own food. Unless someone gives her food or something like eating together at her EO company.

Before that incident, of course.

“..Thanks dad.”

Hadden seemed very happy to receive the thanks from his son.

“Iya. Eat more.”

Valias nodded. Although not sure he can spend the food on his plate. Moreover, eat more as Hadden said. Valias began to bring bribes after bribes into his mouth.

Without Valias realizing it, the entire family in the room watched him closely. It was as if the activities of eating Valias were a very interesting spectacle to them. Although Danial's face was flat, his eyes did not also move from his brother who sliced food and brought the slices to his mouth.

Ruri, realizing the happy and warm moment opened the conversation. “How did you learn?”

Today she has attended a royals gathering on schedule and has not had time to check on her children. “Teacher tells me a lot of things.”

“I've expanded my leading knowledge.”

Dina and Dalian answered in turn.

Valias also brought his gaze towards the two children.

Dina, noticing her brother glancing at her, thought of expressing her feelings. “So I accompanied brother in the reading room.”

“Really?” Hadden joined the conversation.

“Iya!”

“Is there something you are looking for?” ask Hadden.

“Ah.. I just spent time.”

Hadden recalled one of the servants' reports that yesterday his son also fainted while in the reading room.

“This alister oversees the entire activities of young lord Valias, Count.”

Alister spoke up.

How arrogant.

Valias chuckled inwardly at Alister who replied with such enthusiasm and confidence.

“Ah, so? Thank goodness.” Hadden smiled with relief.

“I'm also with sister. I have also hugged sister.” said Dina. Not to lose. Valias chose to continue eating.

“You must be very happy, Dina.”

“Very!” Dina answered Ruri's words.

“I have also promised to make sister eat a lot.”

Dina's words produced silence among the family. Even Valias stopped in the middle of opening his mouth to take a new bribe.

‘’’I think the same thing.’’’

Even the seemingly indifferent Danial kept that thought in his mind.

If those words were aimed at someone else, Valias would not react. But this time he was the main character of the sentence.

It made him feel that he was so weak that it made a Dina to keep such thoughts.

“..Me?”

Valias advanced her body slightly to be able to see Dina's face more clearly.

“Iya! Everyone thought that brother was too thin and pale. I'll make big brother eat a lot!”

“...O-O.”

Valias tried to check the other expression. Danial returns to eat while Hadden and Ruri seem to have no idea what to say.

Even Valias did not know what to behave.

...***...

Morning arrives.

Valias is done getting dressed. Valias did nothing and everything was prepared by Alister without Valias saying anything.

When he arrived at the door of the mansion, everyone was already there, preparing to enter the horse carriage.
