Chapter 15

Bianca, You Too, I Want To Protect Them All

———

"I'm sorry, but I don't want anyone else to think Bianca is a spoiled child."

"No, no one will see Bianca as a spoiled child."

"......Duke."

"Who dares to call the girl whom the Duke of Neidhart cherished spoiled?"

It was an arrogant remark, but it was also true.

When Evelyn bit her lip, desperate to answer, Islay asked.

"By the way, may I take you and Bibi in a carriage?"

"You don't have to."

Evelyn's defensiveness was mild, too.

"At this rate, Bibi's arrival at kindergarten will be late, so I'm just saying."

Evelyn agonized violently, but the desire to send Bianca to kindergarten was finally won.

Toward her with a fine nod, Islay reached out.

It was a polite move, as if escorting an aristocratic lady.

"It's okay."

But Evelyn, like yesterday, approached the carriage alone instead of holding his hands.

"......."

Islay took the hand he had held out without hesitatingly.

But then.

"Thank you."

A small voice passed through Islay's ears.

Evelyn tried to turn a blind eye to Islay, helping Bianca climb into the carriage.

As he stared blankly at her back, Islay smiled broadly after a while.

Annette City was a rural city where many ordinary people lived together.

Luxury wagons that nobles would ride, a town you'd see a couple of times a year.

But now, the rare wagon has slowed down smoothly and stopped in front of the kindergarten.

"Oh, my God, look at that wagon!"

"Was there a carriage like that in Annette?"
