Chapter 1.10 - Kind and Cruel (10) (2/2)

“He is the Duke of Heilon, Duke Abel Heilon.”

Sigren, hearing what I said, looked alert. Seeing this, I gently rubbed the frown forming between his brows to tell him to relax. However, Sigren quickly backed away with a stiff face.

“Don’t!”

I guess I would have a hard time facing my own main character, but I still think he’s so cute even with such a cold look.

At that time, Abel flicked my forehead. “Hey! Little kid! It’s still a hundred years too early!”

“He’s just..-! Aaaahh!!” Before I could finish my comment, Abel suddenly lifted me up. He was always like this. It was like he preferred this way to hug me. Many, no, I think all of the passersby laughed and said ‘You two look like father and daughter.’. The fact that we had the same silver hair made it seem all the more true, so it was understandable.

As he lifted me in his arms, I made eye contact with him and asked, “By the way, can he stay here until the wound heals?”

At my request, Abel had a complex look. “I don’t really like what you’re asking me to do, but… alright, I’ll give him a room so he can stay here until his wounds are healed.”

I clasped my hands in shock. Frankly speaking, I wasn’t expecting anything. “Wow, you’re giving him a separate room?”

“Then, you’re going to use the same room together?” Abel answered my question with a blank look on his face.

When I turned my head, Sigren’s face was a little red, but then….

“What?! You, do you think you are that fine?”

I was a little bit taken aback. His strong opposition caused my shoulders to droop down. He already hated me even though it was our first meeting. Well, I didn’t take it too much to heart. After all, I didn’t grow up to be a precious kid. Moreover, this way was even more acceptable. I didn’t need to explain word-by-word the reason why I was here with him. All he needed to do was grow up safely, love the female lead, and save the world.

Of course, I would watch all of that happen like a parent seeing their son. So I simply responded in turn, “Thanks anyway. I will work harder from now on.”

Abel kicked his tongue lightly, “That’s fine. You’ve done enough.”

I tilted my head. Recently, Abel’s attitude had softened a lot, although his arrogant tone had not changed. However, because of his ambiguous behavior, I couldn’t tell whether it was a good thing or not. I hope it was not a sign that I would be kicked out.

Eventually, the room got quiet and I sighed.

“One little sigh,” Abel grumbled seeing me…

I gave him a blank look. Hey, I’ve got a problem too, and it’s really hard, very hard.
