Sherlin just silently stared flatly at the two arguing boys. Again, the two of them had a fight.
Haahh. What should he do to them now?.
...----------------...
Sherlin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"That's it. I'll take you both!." Sherlin stands halfway between Penelope and Robert.
"What?!?!." Penelope surprise. She didn't expect Sherlin to be taking the shitty kid too.
On the other hand, Robert smiled widely. Face beaming.
"Yeah!."
"But Sherlin! In–.
"It's okay Pene. Isn't more good?." Sherlin smiled slightly, she patted Penelope on the shoulder.
"....all right...." Penelope just resigned herself, she smiled forcefully.
Moments later, Sherlin says goodbye to Penelope. He and Robert got back on the horse-drawn carriage to go home.
The chariot with the Edinburgh coat of arms entered the duchy and stopped in the front yard of the Edinburgh mansion.
Taps.
Robert got off the horse carriage first, he extended his hand to Sherlin.
"....." Sherlin was silent, she did not speak a single word. He only accepted the hand of the carrot boy and came down gracefully.
Taps.
"Thank you." Sherlin thanked him in a flat tone as she continued to step forward without looking back.
"Hmph! you both!."
The drap drap.
The butler approached the two of them and greeted them while bowing. "Welcome ladies and young master Zekallion."
The two ten-year-old boys nodded their heads.
"Yes, Sebastian. Thanks for the welcome, by the way where are you and mom?." Sherlin asked Sebastian, he was still walking forward towards the entrance.
"Miss, lord Duke and mistress Duchess will be se–."
Brakkk.
"!!!!!!."
Sherlin was shocked when the door opened violently, her father and mother were right in front of her.
Grepp's.
"Sherlin! my daughter! is the tea party going well?!?! you're not bothering anyone, are you?!." Madame Duchess hugged Sherlin tightly, she asked in succession and with a fast tempo.
"Yes Sherlin! tell dad! is anyone trying to run you over there!?." The Duke chimed in on the Duchess's question.
Sherlin tried to let go of her mother's embrace. But, it seemed that his mother did not budge in the slightest.
Oi! he's claustrophobic now! his breathing is disturbed! ughhhh! moreover, the two mounds were like narrows to him.
"I-mom! me! nay! can be! breathe!!." Sherlin spoke in a depressed tone.
Suddenly, the duchess let go of her embrace quickly.
"Oh my! I'm sorry Sherlin's mother! ib–ibu is very worried and anxious..."
"Haha haah haah." Sherlin scooped up oxygen violently.
"What's wrong mom, I understand. Thanks for worrying about me, but I'm fine. The tea party went well and no one bothered me, after all who would dare to bully me there mom, dad?." Sherlin tilted her head and gave a small smile.
"Hmm, you're right. In this empire no one can disturb father's daughter even if it's the emperor." Duke raised his chin high.
The Duchess nodded her head, she glanced at Robert and covered her mouth with her right hand.
"Oh my! forgive aunt for forgetting you, Robert. Come on, let's go in."
Robert nodded and then entered the mansion with Sherlin and her family.
In the guest room»
The Duke and Duchess sat on the same sofa, while Robert sat alone on the sofa, which was sitting right in front of the sofa, which was sat by the red-haired couple.
If you ask where Sherlin went? she was cleaning herself up and changing her dress in the room. In a very short time he will come.
Ekhem, back to the beginning.
Tap.
Clack.
The waiter put an antique teapot containing tea and some kind of snack on the table, after putting it all the waiters bowed and then left.
The Duke and Duchess allowed Robert to drink his tea and eat the snacks available at the table, moments later the Duchess began the conversation.
"Robert, thank you for bringing Sherlin home.." The Duchess said with a sincere smile.
"Eum, of course aunt. After all, auntie has also given me the obligation to accompany Sherlin. Therefore, it is fitting that I do so." Robert said politely and smiled.
"Avv, you are indeed a virtuous child. Later in the future you will definitely be a good man, hohoho."
"Aunt Riana was too complimentary.." Robert menendah's.
Duke of Edinburgh, Sherlin's father. Just keep quiet while listening to the conversation between his wife and his friend's child. According to her Robert quite impressed her and satisfied.
Robert smiled proudly. He would definitely make both Sherlin's parents acknowledge him with his current attitude.
Cih, if Sherlin saw Robert's current interaction and attitude she would definitely vomit and be disgusted. His attitude changed 360° if he was in the presence of Sherlin and others.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps echoed in every step of the stairs that descended, making the three people look up.
Sherlin was standing with a sweet smile towards her parents. Now, she is neat and charming.
Sherlin wears a simple white dress but still looks graceful and elegant. Her hair was on a regular braid that was placed behind her back.
There were no decorations at all in her hair, but even so. Sherlin still looks very beautiful, especially with her appearance now she seems to give off a pure and clean aura.
Robert fell silent, his gaze fixed on Sherlin.
"Sherlin, let's tell you what Miss Evans' tea party and greenhouse are like?. I want to hear it."
"Of course mom. I'll tell you!."
"Since the first time I came, they've welcomed me. The me– butler.
Sherlin continued to talk about her experience earlier, her parents also listened carefully and full of appreciation.
If there was a funny incident Sherlin told her, her father and mother would laugh or chuckle softly. Oh my God, look at the harmony of this family now. Everyone would be envious to see her.
While Sherlin was telling me, Robert was silent. He didn't sound one bit. Just staring fixedly at Sherlin, she could not turn her eyes to Sherlin. It was as if there was something like a magnet pulling itself to continue paying attention to Sherlin.
And of course, Sherlin who was stared at for quite a long time became uncomfortable. He occasionally glanced at Robert, and when the sight of the two of them met Robert turned his face away. Then, when Sherlin doesn't stare at her anymore. Robert looked back at Sherlin.
And so on until dinner time comes.
"Robert, come. We'll have dinner together." The Duchess invited Robert gently.
"Ah it's an honor, but unfortunately I can't have dinner with you guys. Because, there's something important that I have to do at aunt Zekalion's residence. I'm sorry." Robert smiled.
"Ah what a pity~. All right then, watch out for Robert's walk." The Duchess touched her right cheek.
"Next time comes Robert." Said Duke kindly.
"Of course Uncle Roenharts."
'Tsk, I invited him to come again! I'm so pissed at that little carrot boy! he's dirtying my neighborhood!.' Inner Sherlin was upset.
"See you later." Robert bowed and then he left.
Sherlin grieves, and asks her father and mother for permission to go straight to the room and skip dinner.
"But Sherlin, aren't you hungry, baby?."
"No mom, I'm tired now. My appetites are gone because I'm tired."
"Oh my! alright." okay."
"Mom's gonna take you some tired soup later."
"Eumm.yes mother."
Tap tap tap.
Sherlin walked quickly to her room, leaving behind her parents.
The Duchess smiled widely, she hugged the Duke's arm tightly then screamed. "Kyaaa>//<. Our daughter is an adult!! Is he ashamed?! oh my! oh my! I'm so excited!!."
Duke squeaked in wonder. "My wife? what do you mean by shame? isn't Sherlin tired? not shy?."
The Duchess's face that had been beaming was shattered instantly. He became grim.
"Basic! don't you understand?!."
The Duke shook his head slowly.
"Tsk, Ren! you that how the hell!?. Huh, I'll explain. You saw that!? Sherlin and Robert kept glancing silently at each other. And when Robert was offered dinner with her he refused and Sherlin refused. You understand now, don't you?! do you know what Ren means?!?!." The Duchess looked impatiently at the Duke.
Duke was dripping with cold sweat, he actually did not understand it completely. He was afraid that his wife would get angry.
What should he do now?!.
With hesitation and a slow tone, the Duke replied. "Eum..that means.... Are they both tired?."
"!!."
The duchess was silent for a moment, she let out a long breath. "Huuuff."
"Of course not!!!!. It means they are kasmaran!! huh! my daughter is growing up fast!."
The duke froze, he gave off a gloomy and dark aura. Said his wife earlier...the only daughter was already seized by the snot boy's heart!?.
Tsk, can't be let!! he! she didn't want her daughter taken!. He'll make something later. The Duke sneered silently.
Hmm, what a silly misunderstanding.
On the other hand, Sherlin's room.
Bruck.
Sherlin dropped her body on her big mattress. He closed his eyes and got up and sat on the edge of his bed.
Gloxinia and Felix appear together right in front of her. They make statements in a row.
"Miss! missis! how was!? Is it fun!?." Gloxinia cheerfully jumped up and down.
"Buck! is there something embarrassing about you in that place?."
In contrast to Gloxinia, Felix casually asked. He's sitting on the bed.
Sherlin answered Gloxinia's question first. "Yes, that's a lot of fun!." Sherlin smiled sweetly.
The sweet smile faded as Sherlin answered Felix's question. "Felixes. You expect something to happen to me?!." Annoyed annoyed.
Veins appeared on his forehead, Sherlin gritted her teeth. "Gerr."
"Hmm, yeah." Felix replied casually.
Sherlin looked at Felix ferociously. He was eager to hit that arrogant face of his!. But, unfortunately, he did not.
Sherlin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
'Calm, relax. Finish with cool head~.'
Sherlin smiled, pensive for a moment to interpret Felix's words in more detail.
Moments later, he looked at Felix with a teary look. Oh christ! Sherlin was shallow-minded!.
For a moment Felix's words actually implied worry. "was there some embarrassing incident about you in that place?." It actually has meaning if Felix hopes Sherlin doesn't experience anything embarrassing.
Sherlin hugged Felix warmly. And Felix who saw that was just dumbfounded.
Why is that shitty kid?! did his head hit something?.
'Hmph! the nature of Felix's tsundere is unsettling. I almost misunderstood.'
Actually, without Sherlin knowing, Felix was just asking her the question of origin. And he was just asking if something or nothing had happened to Sherlin without any anxious intent or concern.
If Sherlin finds out about this, she will soon lose control and attack Felix.
TBC.
