because your brother will take care of you.”

Allen’s hand felt tighter than ever.

“Yeah, even though you’re weaker than me.”

“Nope! I trained hard this time.”

“Can I look forward to it?”

“Of course.”

In terms of strength, it would not be an exaggeration to say that I was stronger than the Grand Duke, but the saying that my clumsiness protected me wasn’t reassuring.

Meanwhile, laughter was heard from behind.
It was the sound of Harris, but I tried to ignore it.

The Grand Duke walked as if Harris wasn’t following behind him, so I just walked along with them.

Allen was babbling like someone trying to relieve my tension all the way.

Starting with whether I’ve ever seen a chocolate as big as a human body, he lured me with strange words, saying that there was a pond made of candy.

‘Do you think I’ll fall for such things?’

He countered, but the Grand Duke, who stood next to him, spat out a single word that such things existed.

“Is there really such a thing?”

“Of course, would you like to see it?”

“Uh, I was just wondering if it was there or not.
It’s not something I really want to see…”

At that, the Grand Duke looked down at me and smiled.

‘I’m not sure I fell for both of their lies, right?’

As I looked at the two of them, wondering if I was being deceived, the Grand Duke, who was looking down at only me, smiled slightly.

“We have arrived.”

Only then did I realize that we were standing in front of a room.

I was a little surprised, only thinking that the environment had become a bit busier thanks to the two people who talked non stop as if to relieve tension.

“This place is…”

“It’s the meeting room.”

A little late, I looked around.

Last time I saw it, I didn’t know it was on the opposite side of the garden, but there were so many people waiting here.

There were also plenty of knights who were not of the Grand Duke.

“Then let me in.”

However, unlike the knights of the Grand Duke, the knights guarding the front door all looked down at me with uncomfortable eyes.
For a moment, I feel as if my whole body stiffened.

I thought I was okay when I came here, but I guess I wasn’t.

I had to go inside here confidently, but I couldn’t.
The knights in armor were too frightening.

At that time…

“I’m short so I can’t see well, so can I hold you?”

“H-Huh?”

“Can I hold you?”
