The Heir's Naughty Twins
31. Missing the Far Place

For a moment Norman flinched. The child in front of him was acting very mature and thinking broadly, so he did not expect that he would emotionally reply as if he was already very angry.

But Norman regained control of himself, understanding that this child just did not want to be approached for fear that his expectations did not match reality.

"Did your mother say she hated your father?"

"No. You don't have to tell me I hate him."

"Then answer me, boy." Norman tapped on Yujerian's chest. "Didn't he miss a place he'd never seen?"

Yujerian's body froze.

...*...

The sea is a mysterious place. As far as the eye can see it feels like there is no end, but if crossed by ship, somehow you can get to a different island with humans and different lives.

Yujerian often felt that he was not where he should be.

But every time he thought so, he was terrified. It felt like he was betraying his own mother and sister, for thinking of leaving this place of peace.

It's okay if this place is boring. It's okay if this place isn't fun and unpleasant.

It's okay if everything is so stagnant.

If that was what Hestia liked and Yuveria enjoyed, then Yujerian could smile because of their smile.

But ... his heart was again lulled by the words of this man.

"Little child, there is something called destiny. I've lived for years and I know something unplanned could have happened all of a sudden. Either way."

"...."

"Why do you think we suddenly know you're hiding here?" ask the man again.

"My friend sent it."

"Why did your friend send it?"

Yujerian could not answer.

"Something is moved for a reason and sometimes a reason that is difficult to pin down is so simple. Your friend is the one who connected us with you. Even if your mother is hiding and you're afraid to see your father, don't you meet in the end? And your heart secretly knows you hope."

"...."

Yujerian was silent, but did not say no.

...*...

"Has the drone been down?"

"Here you go, sir."

"Find to the point where the Norman signal is located. Start the search from there."

Eros sat in front of a number of screens, displaying a total of six cameras from the six drones he had descended on the island. Snow makes the camera a little blurry, but enough to be used to see if at close range.

The drone flew towards the flickering Norman signal, then slowly descended in order to see more clearly.

Obviously it will not be easy to find where he is, because the drone is flying very slowly leaving the surrounding.

"Nan-ya are?!" [What is that?]

The sound of screaming children watching their drones. Eros heard strange Japanese noises that he could barely understand.

Did Hestia really live in such a strange place?

"That's a drone!" A larger male voice sounded. "Yuuki, drop it!"

"Let Yuve alone!"

Eros clucked and asked them to stay away immediately. But suddenly the cameras are shaken along with the notification of their drone being dropped.

Another audible drone rushed to a nearby location to see it more clearly.

"There's a camera." The drone was lifted into the air until the face of a round-eyed girl was clearly visible.

For a second, Eros sculpted.

His eyes must need to be examined, if only suddenly he had an eye pain to see the child wearing his face suit.

However it seemed real as some of the people behind them gasped as well.
