Did he always live this way, keeping his distance from other children? She tilted her head. After looking at him for a moment, she was convinced that was the case.

She didn't think he could get along with other people with such a scaly personality. Also, what is this arrogant attitude toward a nobleman?

Aren't you afraid of having your tongue cut off for insulting a nobleman?

Yurina was thinking about trying to get him to speak more politely. However, it was refreshing to hear a little girl talk to her so rudely after she had spent so long speaking formally in front of people, and most of the time, they were just lounging in front of her.

If she could teach him to speak more politely like any other aristocrat, that would be good enough to keep him out of trouble.

"At least, it's good to know that you won't make a fuss about losing this place and wanting to come back. If nothing else, let's go."

The child raised his eyebrows in response to his harsh criticism and followed behind.

"Madam, this cannot happen."

Her nanny said nervously as she grabbed Yurina's arm as she headed to the carriage.

Yurina didn't care and still took the baby to the cart with the coach's help.

Her nanny wanted to pull the baby a lot out of his displeasure, but it was faster to close the carriage doors.

"Nanny, what are you doing?"

"I don't understand why you are doing this, madam."

"As I told you, this kid has strength. He cannot stay in a place like this. I will take him and take care of him."

"How do you know whether he has power or not? If you take the child with you like this, master will be angry. If you really want to take him, you should ask permission first…"

"Nanny. "

Her nanny was shocked to hear Yurina's voice which was much colder than usual, then she bit her lips. Yurina looked at her expressionless face.

I am catastrophic. When I decide to do something, there is nothing I cannot do. "

Some might think it was a premature observation of a 10-year-old, but truth be told, the Carthia family has the ability to do just that.

Yurina grew up in a family who loved and scorned her. She had the right to enjoy whatever she wanted. She can only move and support this child without having to ask permission from anyone.

The nanny seemed to still have something to say but decided against it.

The child cautiously looked around the enormous interior of the carriage and sat stiffly as he walked around, trying to straighten his back.

Yurina sat across from him and examined him from head to toe.

The child was glowing sharply as he pulled up until his back touched the back seat.

"W-what is this? Why do you keep looking at me like that? Did you lie to me when you said you were going to take me to take care of me and not because you wanted me to be a puppet?"

"I already told you to watch what she says, right?"

She smiled dark, reminiscent of a dragon in a novel. Since she has a way with words, she can easily earn his favor

If she was having a hard time doing something like that and she failed to push him over to her side, it could lead her down a path like the original and everything she had done so far would be for nothing.

"What is your name?"

I was surprised by his sudden change of attitude. The little boy fell on his shoulders and whispered softly.

"...tom"

His original name was Tom? She couldn't remember what his original name was. Apparently she didn't read anything about it in the book. In this case, it should be a simple setup she scanned.

"It is a common name. Do you like this name?"

Yurina still asked him despite knowing how much he hated this terrible name.

You have the right to despise her.

His mother, who did not hold even the slightest affection for his son, named him after a man who was a regular at the bar. As expected, he clenched his teeth and shook his head.

"no . "

"Then, shall I give you a new name as a memory of me being so useful to you?"

He liked de Flon after he gave him a new name as a child.

Well, it's not like you should do the same, but kids are surprisingly fond of these trivial things.

Of course, this alone wasn't enough to completely break the suspicious kid's wall, but it was important to start on the right foot.

Yurina interpreted his silence as confirmation and began to speak.

"Renard, Ray for a little while. What do you think?"

"Charrion" was originally named by Marquis De Flon and was an old word meaning "Victor". It wasn't "Victor" for a child that would have been magical, but for a Marquis who discovered such a child.

So the moment he was called "Charrion" as originally, she would die by his hands and this victory would be presented to the Marquis de Flon.

This name is cocky. Yurina didn't like the name "Charrion" or even the "Marquis De Flon" she hadn't seen yet. So she chose the name "Rainard" instead, which means "hope."

She was suddenly reborn in a strange place one day, and her only hope was to save her from her bad fate. Even if it was a shame, she might bear such a shame just so she could comfort her troubled heart.

The child repeatedly muted his name several times and lowered his head.

He didn't say anything until I got off the carriage and accelerated.

After patiently waiting for his reply, Yurina finally asked him frankly.

"Why won't you answer? Do you hate her?"

"..."

"Tom?"

"It's not Tom."

The child lowered his head deeper this time.

It's Raynard. "

Peering through his bright blonde hair were ears flushed.

The Marquis of Carthia pressed both of his thumbs against the flickering temples. His head began to ache because of the prolonged quarrel with his daughter.

"Yurina, if you really want to receive the boy, I will ask Robert to train him as a servant."

He always tried to do whatever his wife-like daughter wanted it to be. It's not like he doesn't like his other sons.

Yurina came into his life as a blessing because he already had three sons. Because of this, she held a special place in his heart.

That's why a few months ago, he didn't hesitate when I asked him that she wanted to go to the orphanage and help the children.

But this time, the situation was different.

What in this world is this child thinking?

Earlier, when he came to meet his daughter who had returned a little later than expected, he had seen a boy getting off the chariot with Yurina.

An ordinary worker with a slim figure and a flabby body is lightly dressed and holds a small sack in his arms.

Even if no one explains it, he can immediately understand the situation.

At first, she thought she had taken the boy because she was about the same age and wanted to make him into her servant to live here.

Although she had never done anything like this before, he thought that his daughter, who was already in the Age of Curiosity, upon seeing the appearance of this child not usually seen in nobles, had piqued her interest.

He had already instructed them to take care of the child and educate him anyway because he also needed a sitter for both children.

However, her daughter came to his office and made an unexpected proposal.

- Father, this child has the gift of magic. I want to raise him

It is not difficult to take care of a talented common child.

The nobles considered caring for ordinary people a virtue, and the more children they supported, the higher the reputation of the family.

For this reason, what began in his favor turned into a way to show the status and ability of a person. These days, they are looking for common people who are also willing to support the metropolitan community.

Marquis of Carthia has also been supporting many children in various fields for many years. Lord Aaron, a famous officer of the Empire whose talent was recognized 10 years ago, is sponsored by the Marquis of Carthia.

It was just a case of selecting talented children through many processes. But then I just went to an orphanage, took a child without knowing whether they had a talent or not, and then nursed him.

No matter what Yurina said, it was ridiculous. How can they handle sarcasm if it turns out he doesn't have the talent after nurturing him?

But even if he explained it perfectly to make sense of it, you wouldn't back down easily.

I will not keep him as a servant. He is talented enough to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Crohn's. "

The size of the Kingdom's region, military strength, economic strength, etc. However, the Kron Kingdom was inferior to the Empire in every way except magic, which is far superior to the Empire Realm.

Unlike many students who came to study in the Empire, those who wanted to learn and study magic went to the Kron Kingdom.

The Royal Crone Academy prides itself on the highest quality of curriculum and faculty and has been notorious for denying admission to those who could not meet their standards even if they were from very wealthy and privileged backgrounds.

And I thought he could be accepted into the Royal Crohn Academy. Even if she was still a child, he did not think that she would be immature. Was it because she was a pretty spoiled girl who was allowed to do anything she wanted?

Yurina"

He took a moment to think while looking at his sweetheart Yurina.

"I guess our conversation isn't going anywhere. I'll call Dave. I'm going to the lab now, so if someone sends a letter, I'll be back for dinner."

Dave is a mage who works for the Marquis. Even if the Marquis tried to coldly reject his daughter, looking down on her petite figure, he still couldn't resist her.

So, instead, ask for an objective opinion so you stop being so stubborn as a kid.

"If Dave meets the kid and says he is really talented, then I will officially sponsor him. But if not, he will be trained as a servant. Is that okay with you?"

I will do whatever the father says. "

After seeing his daughter smiling brightly, he thought it was a bit strange, but because Yurina was grateful that she had fulfilled her purpose.

If Dave arrives, against her father's will to support Raynard's talent, he will be frustrated at the fact that he will take care of him.

Not only that, he probably wouldn't let him send him to the academy and pursue his own education instead. I heard that there is a clan of mages who "gather" the disciples and take them to a mysterious place.

Either way, I have no plans to die.

It has not yet been decided whether this new life is a blessing or a curse.

Yurina did not understand why people were so envious of the aristocratic girl's life, it made it difficult for her to get used to this place.

You thought about it, you weren't born again.

However, having been reborn, Yurina wished to live. There was also this lifelong hunger after I lost it in a getaway accident, but that wasn't the main reason.

She was afraid that she would die helpless at the moment of her death.

She wanted to live with all her might because she was afraid of death.

I will not die.

There seemed to be little light in front of her dim vision. Her heart was throbbing.

Just the thought of dying again changed her mind to live.
