The Troublemaker Daughter of the Grand Duke Wants To Live Alone

Chapter 61

"Who's coming?"

"The two young masters are coming."

I can't believe my other brothers are coming here. I knew they were coming, but for us to meet at the hunting grounds for the first time! I was so surprised that I had a couple of hiccups. Hestia, who was beside me, carefully patted my back.

"I wasn't planning to tell you in advance...... I'm afraid you'll be nervous."

Then why didn't you tell me after the hunt?

Lucas avoided my gaze when I gave him a resentful look.

I sighed a little and looked around Count Stein's hunting ground.

It was covered with thick trees and plants. They said I can enter the forest without getting hurt if I follow the trail. It was a lush forest that matched the clear and blue sky. I felt a chill in the air while looking at the forest so I rubbed my arm.

"Are you cold?"

"No."

Grand Duke Estin asked me as if he had noticed me doing that. I shook my head. Despite my denial, Grand Duke Estin tucked my clothes tightly.

Today.....Grand Duke Estin and Gilbert, Rex and Lucas, Hestia and the Knights are here to cheer on me. This alone made me grateful, but I don't think I can aim that gratefulness to my other two older brothers that are coming.

"Prince Cameron is coming."

I grabbed my bow when I heard Cameron was coming here. Cameron Arstans was walking this way with Maxim on his left, and a man I had never seen before, on his right, plus a group of unknown people I don't know where he got. The man who was walking at the right side of Cameron looked happy when he saw Grand Duke Estin.

Do you know him?

I peeked at Grand Duke Estin; his expression remained unchanged. Still, the man seems to be glad....

"Grand Duke Estin!"

"Long time no see."

"How long has it been? You don't participate in aristocratic meetings."

"If I participate, the atmosphere would be cloudy."

"No, what a sad thing to say?"

At the man's words, Grand Duke Estin replied with a clear mockery. Then the man expressed his disappointment in a really upset tone. He looked around Grand Duke Estin and found me behind him.

"This little girl must be Miss Mary Conler!"

Little girl?....

Still, I felt like I had to be polite, so I just nodded from behind.

"I'm Count Joseph Stein, the owner of this hunting ground."

"......."

So, this is the Count of Stein.

I stared at him and nodded again. Count Stein coughed as if he had become embarrassed as I just stared silently behind Grand Duke Estin and then he smiled at me and said;

"She must be a very shy little lady."

"Hmm."

At the count's words, Cameron, standing next to him, gave an obvious sneer. I quickly turned my head and glared at Cameron. Is it funny that I'm shy? Is it funny that I'm little?

"Oh, the maid will show you where Grand Duke Estin will be waiting."

When Count Stein clapped twice, a Maid ran and bowed. Then I saw a white table, chair, and a parasol on the other side. I was about to move along with Grand Duke Estin, but Count Stein suddenly spoke.
