Toys?

These are all toys?

"It's too much!"

I jumped out of bed like I had a spring on my butt. Come to think of it, the boxes are cuter and more colorful than I imagined. It's because they're all toys. I was holding my forehead when I saw Lucas holding another box behind Hestia.

"Oh, I stopped him because I thought it was too much." said Hestia, glaring at Lucas, who put the box on the floor. Now, I know. This person is the culprit.

"He bought it because he was so excited."

"I could have bought more, but I endured it."

"Did you buy from all the toy stores?"

"I can't do that. Anyway, this is how the economy in Giefroy works."

"He didn't just buy it in Giefroy, Lucas went all the way to the capital."

"Then, let's call it an imperial economy."

Who can beat Lucas with words?

Hestia closed her eyes, exhaled deeply, looked around, and then picked up a toy sword. It was clear that she was thinking a lot while looking at the toy sword in her hand.

"Is that a sword?"

"Oh, yes."

Phew, I saved Lucas.

Hestia smiled and handed me the sword; perhaps she's glad I was interested in it. I received it and looked over it carefully. It looked quite expensive.

"I chose it. I used to play with this when I was young! You're still young, so I picked a small and pretty one."

"I've never seen anything like this before. It's amazing!"

If I had one of these when I was at Brandon Orphanage, no one would covet my position. I could've used this at the director I remembered Peter whom I met in Tana District. He looked my age, and he knew how to wield a sword. If I had this, I'd .......

"Miss. You're not going to win if you fight with an adult using that."

Lucas said firmly as if he had read my mind. I pouted my lips.

"Did you really think that?"

"Hehe...."

"Haha..."

I laughed awkwardly, and Hestia laughed along and took the toy sword from my hand.

"This is a no."

"Oh, you can't take it away from me"

I reached out to Hestia, and Hestia raised her hand high holding the toy sword. I jumped to take back the wooden sword from Hestia's hand.

"I'll give it to you when you grow up."

"Even Hestia hit adults with a sword when she was young... argh!"

Hestia placed the wooden sword high in the drawer, Lucas, who was organizing the box, spoke sarcastically. Hestia took the wooden sword again and slapped Lucas on the back. Lucas collapsed as she hit his back.

I'd be a really bad kid if I felt like that was cool..... I might become a bad kid, Grand Duke Estin.

"Great. Anyway, I agree to confiscate it for a while."

"Tsk."

"Instead, there's a lot of other things."

At that I sat down beside Lucas. Actually, all these boxes were burdensome, but I'm still curious.
