Episode 21. Stork (2)
The guard warriors who initially tried to stop the twins lowered their swords when the Archduke raised his hands.
Caught in an avalanche, he suddenly ran through the tomb of King Hero, and ran away from the collapsed tomb and walked all day digging through the snow.
Lois and the twins’ faces and bodies were covered in charcoal black from searching the burned house.
From what anyone could see, they were children who had barely survived an attacked village.
No one there doubted it.
“this… … .”
“Are the children the only ones who survived?”
The twins and Lois, who showed off their hidden talents generously and showed off their acting skills, combined to produce the best results.
“Poor things… … .”
Not caring that her white clothes were getting dirty, the Grand Duchess hugged the twins with tears in her eyes.
There the twins’ smoke exploded.
“Huh!”
“Wow, I was scared!”
Lois almost stopped crying due to the guys’ incredible acting skills.
He stuck his tongue out inwardly.
‘These kids… ‘Isn’t all the foolish things I do acting like acting?’
As I watched the tearful acting that had reached such a state, such doubts arose.
But there was no time to discuss it now.
He also had to control his emotions.
Sniff slurp-.
The tear marks left on the soot-covered faces made Lois and the other children look even more miserable.
The Archduke walked through the guard and bowed down in front of Lois, who was pretending to cry.
“Are you Aida who lives in this village?”
Sniff-.
Lois nodded.
“Are you the only ones who survived?”
“… yes.”
The point was the tearful voice.
“What about your parents?”
“… … .”
Lois didn’t bother to lie.
No, there was no need to do it.
Even if you just make a gloomy expression, the other person will interpret it on their own.
The Grand Duke’s depressed expression confirmed Royce’s thoughts.
“… “You worked hard.”
The Archduke stroked Lois’ head.
He got up and walked over to his wife.
The lady looked at the Archduke mournfully.
“dismissal… “No, honey.”
The Archduke could not help but smile bitterly at the gaze he sent with earnest wishes.
“Do you want to take me with you?”
“… yes.”
A little hope appeared in the woman’s sad eyes.
The Archduke nodded because he could not ignore what he meant.
On the other hand, Lois’s pupils, who were listening to their conversation, wavered.
‘reel? Now, wait a minute?!’
Things were going strangely.
‘Hey, are you there? ‘You can just pass by?’
But the water had already spilled.
When the Archduke asked about her parents’ whereabouts, Lois had to reply that she was waiting for them to return.
Lois’ first mistake was to overlook the fact that even seemingly compassionate and well-to-do people would not just overlook those in need.
‘… Was it too much?’
The second mistake was not expecting that the twins’ acting skills would be so outstanding.
While she was panicking, Royce’s arms were grabbed by the warriors.
‘wait for a sec! ‘Would you like to talk about this?’
When Lois was struggling, the Archduke’s warrior guards were already lifting the twins like teddy bears and putting them into the carriage.
‘Oh, no!’
Not long after, Lois followed the twins.
And so the carriage carrying Lois and the twins departs.
Rustling-.
Finn’s little head popped up from a pile of collapsed boards.
A devastated voice flowed from his mouth.
“… Lois?”
Finn faced an unexpected separation from his owner.
The guy just stared blankly at the carriage disappearing into the distance.

The air inside the carriage was warm.
There, the Archduke took off his cloak and covered it over Lois and the twins.
Originally, the Grand Duke’s wife was going to give her cloak to the children, but the Grand Duke gave his cloak on her behalf because she was weak.
The large cloak was large enough to cover three small children.
Lois, wrapped in a cloak, closed her eyes.
‘Gu, there’s no need to be this kind, right?’
Not only was the kindness of the Archduke and his wife burdensome, but the unexpected development of the situation was also disconcerting.
‘What should I do with this…’ … ?’
Lois rolled her eyes and thought about a solution.
The wife, who misunderstood that the child was watching, smiled gently and stroked his head.
“Okay. “You can rest assured.”
“… … .”
The best Lois could do was nod without saying anything.
The Grand Duke and his wife looked at this with satisfaction.
“How old are you?”
Lois thought about her wife’s question for a moment and then answered.
Apply a little saliva to your lips.
“… “10 years old.”
“You look younger than your age? “He looked like he was about 7 years old.”
“well… “Because I can’t eat it.”
“this… … .”
The Grand Duke’s wife showed a sad expression again at Lois’s answer, which contained 50% lies and 50% truth.
It was proof that Lois’ non-excuse excuse worked.
“Are the kids next to you your older sister and older brother?”
“No, I’m a friend from the neighborhood.”
Lois looked with a straight face, but no one recognized her.
I just look at Lois with satisfaction, who speaks clearly and clearly despite her young age.
“Hehe. “You’re smart.”
“… … .”
The wife didn’t wipe the smile off her face, as if she liked Lois.
Lois and his wife exchanged a few words, and the Archduke watched quietly.
It was then.
Tuk-.
Lois felt something heavy touch both of her shoulders.
Saegeun Saegeun-.
The sound of even breathing is heard soon after.
Khan and Carney, who were on either side of her, were asleep, using Lois’ shoulder as a pillow.
Even though they were dragons, they were still children.
This may have been due to the fatigue accumulated during the forced march in an unfamiliar environment.
This was the same for Lois.
Dream, dream, dream-.
Lois’ eyelids kept drooping as she felt the drowsiness creeping in.
Lois suddenly came to her senses.
‘Wake! What are you going to do if you fall asleep here?!’
Things took an unexpected turn.
I didn’t know if I would end up stranded in the wrong place if things continued like this.
This is a situation where you have to think of a solution as quickly as possible to get out of the situation.
But I couldn’t help the rush of sleep.
‘Can they sleep in this situation?!’
Lois internally scolded the two twins who were sleeping calmly.
However, he is also sleepy.
In my head, I had the thoughts of an adult, but in my body, I was still a child.
Additionally, the even breathing sounds coming from both sides were like a lullaby.
‘I need to come to my senses… … .’
Lois fighting against drowsiness.
However, the fatigue accumulated the previous day was too much to avoid the temptation to sleep.
Tuk-.
Lois’ head, which had been blinking and pacing back and forth, rested against the carriage seat.
Soon the sound of even breathing was heard.
It’s easy~.
Lois is already asleep and the twins are leaning on her.
And even a spacious cloak covering the children.
“Hehehe.”
The sight was so cute that a smile that couldn’t be hidden appeared on the wife’s lips.
The Grand Duke also smiled as he saw his wife smiling for the first time in a long time.
The carriage carrying the Archduke and his wife and three hatchlings entered the huge castle, escorted by warriors.
* * *
Muong-.
Lois is half-fazed.
A yellow duck toy floated in front of him.
At this, Lois let go of the spirit she was barely holding on to.
‘How did this happen?… … ?’
Unlike Lois, who had a complicated review, the twins were very excited.
“Aaaah!”
“Kyaakkyak!”
Khan and Kani are playing in the water, screaming happily like children.
The duck that was floating on the water sank due to the guys making a fuss.
Sigh-.
A splash of water hit Lois’ face.
“ah… … .”
“to… … ?”
The twins are cautious, thinking that Lois will yell at them.
Then, when Lois didn’t show any reaction, the guys carefully wiggled their hands and started playing with the water again.
As a result, Lois’ anxiety became even more intense.
‘Why do these kids adapt so quickly? Is this situation like playing with water?!’
Either way, the twins, with renewed energy, swam around in the large bathtub.
It was like that.
Lois and the twins were taking a bath now.
And that too, completely naked, in a bathtub.
‘ha… … .’
One white-haired head and two silver-haired heads sticking out of the bathtub.
Four maids gathered around her and washed Lois and the twins.
The smiles did not leave the mouths of the maids washing the children.
“Oh my… how… “Are they all this pretty?”
“Are kids kids? Look at this skin. “Mandle mandeul and poyae!”
“I know. They say the lady brought me here from a village that was attacked by monsters… “Aren’t they like country kids?”
“Wow, you’re so pretty. Hey, would you like to call me your sister?”
Thanks to the maids who moved their mouths as diligently as their hands, Lois’ ears were almost bleeding.
Lois, who felt like she wouldn’t be able to survive on her own, turned her thoughts elsewhere.
‘What will happen to Finn?’
In an unexpected situation, I left the pin there.
There wouldn’t be a problem with Finn’s abilities, but he would have been quite embarrassed.
‘Well, I’m not in a position to worry about anyone right now… … .’
While Lois was lost in her own thoughts, the maids were thoroughly washing the three children and changing their clothes.
“Oh my, you seem like a noble person.”
“The white hair and clothes match very well.”
“What about those purple eyes?”
Even as they changed their clothes, the maids’ mouths still did not rest.
‘Did he have a motor in his mouth? ‘Stop talking!’
Lois, who was trying to pretend to be calm, screamed inwardly.
Once the children had finished dressing, the maids lined up their works and began to admire them.
At the same time, exclamations erupted from everywhere.
“and… … .”
“So pretty.”
“I want to have a child like this too.”
The maids casually say things that would have made Gene Locker and the twin father go wild if they had heard them.
But it was not unreasonable for them to be impressed.
Royce has fair skin, white hair, jewel-like purple eyes, and wears luxurious navy blue clothes.
Khan and Kani wore red-colored clothes that made their silver hair and turquoise eyes stand out.
They exuded the feeling of a nobleman or noblewoman, and at the same time boasted extreme cuteness.
At this, the maids stamped their feet as if they were about to rush towards the children.
If the Archduke’s wife had not appeared, she would have rushed in already.
“Are you finished?”
Seeing the lady who appeared with a graceful voice, the maids bowed their heads politely and stepped back.
The Grand Duke’s wife came into the room and her eyes widened when she saw the neatly washed children.
“… oh my god!”
Even when they appeared in the village with scruffy faces, they were children with a unique appearance.
When I washed those children and dressed them properly, they seemed to glow.
“Hehe. “I think the Grand Duke will like it too.”
The wife’s eyes were full of loveliness.
she asked, smiling softly.
“are not you hungry?”
“I’m hungry!”
When Khan answered with shining eyes, his wife gestured.
“Follow me.”
Seeing the wife walking ahead, the twins quickly ran after her, and Lois, who sighed, had no choice but to follow her.
And then we arrived at the banquet hall.
It was full of various dishes that are not commonly seen on the tables of ordinary people.
“wow!”
“Wow!”
The twins’ eyes sparkled brightly at the steaming feast of food.
“Eat a lot.”
The wife with a gentle smile took care of the children herself.
The maids became restless at this, but the wife looked so happy that they were in no hurry to step forward.
After receiving such luxurious treatment, Lois and the children were able to return to their room after finishing their meal.
And that day was the beginning.
One day, two days, three days, four days… … .
It has been ten days since Royce and the others stayed in the splendid castle.
The Archduke did not show his face very often, and only the Archduke’s wife visited every day to watch over Lois and the twins.
It was a luxury that no ordinary child could enjoy, but there were some who did not think of it as a luxury at all.
“It should pop out slowly… … .”
Lois toddled around the room with a face full of nervousness.
