I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 270



270 – Side Story – Sonia’s Birthday (2)

Sonia wondered if today could be this happy.

Her lips Her on both ears Her She didn’t even think about coming down, and everything looked beautiful.

Of course, she would not be without joy in getting the board game she wanted.

But more than that, the people around her who came from all over to see her made her even happier.

Especially.

“Then when are you going, uncle?”

Kelagh, who found the castle after such a long time, was a representative example.

Sonia smiled as always today as she looked up at the person who seemed to be almost twice her size.

As time passed, we learned what kind of person Kellagra was, but Sonia’s way of speaking her was still not much different from that of her her local uncle her her her.

Because this was what Kellagg wanted in the first place.

“I should go the day after tomorrow at the latest. “If I come back after completing stabilization, I will be able to stay for a while.”

“Okay? So, are you going on a date with Mr. Minette that day?”

“… “I guess so.”

I guess it’s been a while since she and Minette became lovers.

Kelagh was able to respond without being greatly embarrassed by this surprise attack.

“Heh, you’re not shy anymore?”

“Yonseok. “How old am I to be embarrassed by something like this?”

Kellag responded in a quite bold manner, but it was of little use to Sonia.

“But a few years ago, I was embarrassed when I said I was hanging out with Mr. Minette… Ugh!?”

“Anyway, if you give me a chance, I won’t miss you. “I need to sew this snout or something.”

At this time, she was trying to tell her her story her her her, but as she exaggerated a little, a thick palm the size of Sonia’s face blocked her.

“Uvvv! Boo-eup!”

Sonia tried to protest strongly, but she was blocked by her palm and her empty crying was repeated.

Since ancient times, everything succumbs to a powerful force.

“Kellag! What are you doing to Sonia!?”

“Oh, no, it’s not my fault. This guy is so obnoxious today…”

Of course, it was usually Kelagh who was defeated.

Because above power there is always greater power.

“Puh-ha! “I almost suffocated to death.”

“It’s all your fault, isn’t it? “You guy.”

“Hehe, but isn’t teasing the old man the second or third most fun thing in the world?”

The rankings were quite uneven, and Kelagh was worried about whether he should be happy about this or not.

If I were to conclude that it was number one, I would probably laugh out loud, but I would also feel a strange sense of pride.

Why is it the second or third time?

From noble mtl dot come

Anyway, this side was enjoying the joy of reunion in its own way.

As time passed after lunch, the sun began to slowly fall out of the window.

The year in Hespania is particularly short, but the biggest reason is that time passes quickly as we gather in one place and laugh and chat.

Yulken, who was watching the scene, spoke quietly to Edgar, who was standing next to him.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just let the kids play as they want and leave us alone?”

Yulken also wanted to spend more time with Sonya and her grandchildren.

However, except for the three children, the presence of adults who they do not see relatively often may be burdensome.

So, I thought it would be right to step down at this point because I felt like they wouldn’t be able to talk and play comfortably among themselves because they were watching people’s eyes.

This was a decision that Edgar had made in consultation with Ariel, so he agreed willingly.

“I’m still planning on doing that. But my father… ?”

“I was wondering if I could get together with my friends and have a drink for the first time in a while.”

Yulken smiled mischievously, making a gesture of breaking his glass

Today is Sonia’s birthday as an excuse for Edgar to postpone his official duties, so it’s a golden opportunity for him.

Edgar smiled and nodded as if he knew that.

Anyway, he wanted to have a drink on this long-awaited happy day.

Besides, drinking with Ariel is good, but sometimes I think of drinking leisurely among men with Yulken or Lancel.

“Then it would be fine to gather in my father’s study.”

“It’s good. “It’s about dinner time, so wouldn’t it be okay to just have it as a snack?”

Just because they are high-ranking people doesn’t mean that men’s drinking habits change much.

The sight of people forgetting to eat, filling their stomachs with snacks, and pouring themselves drinks is quite common.

It didn’t matter much to him because he didn’t really care about Edgardoy.

There was just a problem.

“It’s okay with me, but I’m not sure if my mother and mother-in-law will allow it…” ” …”

“Hmm. In that case, the three of us just need to keep our mouths shut.”

“That’s a brilliant idea.”

Edgar also didn’t want to tell the two people about it, so he decided to do it.

Of course, if it becomes known later, the fallout will be doubled, but since most guys are men, they don’t even care about that.

As a result, Edgar sneakily approached Kelagh, who was in the middle of a conversation with Sonia, and asked him, and he agreed.

Unexpectedly, he ended up having a drinking party with his friends on his younger sister’s birthday.

“Now, let’s just let the kids play among themselves and let the adults go.”

Eventually, everyone except her children expressed their approval to Helen’s words to her, cheering her up by clapping her hands.

Meanwhile, Sonia, who had not heard her details, was busy turning her head like a squirrel examining the situation.

Eventually, as the adults began to put on their coats again, she carefully approached Ariel and asked her question.

“Sister, is it over already?”

“No. You can play more. “I’m just leaving the place because I’m afraid it might be uncomfortable if there are adults around.”

“Ah…”

Only then did a low exclamation flow from Sonia’s mouth as she realized the careful consideration of Ariel and other adults.

Although it was good for her to be in a noisy atmosphere with everyone, she felt that it might be somewhat uncomfortable for Claire and Allen.

As her friend, she couldn’t pay attention to that, but did she think her elders had foreseen that part as well?

I guess the word ‘adult’ isn’t that light after all.

“Happy birthday once again. Sonia.”

“Thank you, sister.”

After Ariel’s hug, the adults completely left the room, and the once noisy room suddenly became quiet.

However, there was no particularly uncomfortable silence.

Rather, Sonia thought that she could now play with her friends without being noticed, so she jumped up from her seat and took out the board game board from earlier.

“Guys! Should we play this from now on?”

After leaving the noisy party behind, it was now time to have an after-party with her friends.

In response, her two friends, as well as Evan and Serena, came running and sat down in a circle around her.

Everyone had smiles filled with anticipation on their faces.

*

As planned, the four people gathered in Lancel’s study and were drinking to their hearts’ content.

Before we knew it, the sun had disappeared beyond the horizon, replaced by the moon.

“Hoo…”

Meanwhile, Kelagh’s lips drew a dark line at the unexpected news he received.

His eyes landed on Edgar, who placed the glass of wine in his hand on the table.

There were quite a variety of emotions melted inside those eyes.

“That kid.”

“At 15, I think it’s past time to listen to kids.”

“I think he’s a kid. Well, it doesn’t seem to be any different to you.”

Edgar also did not strongly deny Kellagg’s point, but he shook his head slightly.

“By the way, that child is Sonia… Indeed. “She didn’t notice.”

Yulken, who was quietly listening to the two people’s conversation next to him, also drank his drink and briefly recalled the scene from the previous party.

Did you say he was definitely Sylvia’s younger brother?

I had doubts at first because he stayed around Sonia’s side a lot, but I assumed it was because he was a close friend of hers.

However, that was an action that came from her unrequited love.

“Hmm…”

Soon, following Yulken, Lancel also nodded and expressed a small surprise at finding out later.

That was quite surprising to Edgar.

I thought that her daughter, Lancel, would definitely stand up and spew out her hostility towards a boy who was only fifteen.

“Your father isn’t surprisingly surprised, is he? I thought Sonia would be furious because she said it was still too early for her to marry a man.”

“Hey. What does she think of her father? “She’s not so stupid that she can’t tell reality.”

Lancel snorted harshly at her son’s comment along with her mischievous smile.

Of course, as her father her her her, it is scandalous that there is a man like a tiger who targets his daughter her her who is not hurt by her eyes her her her.

If possible, I have a strong desire to raise it with care, like a flower in a greenhouse, rather than sending it to the arms of men.

But that’s just his immature idealism his

In the first place, the human mind is not easily blocked just because someone blocks it.

On the contrary, the more it burned, the more it burned.

Moreover, at most the heart of fifteen.

Lancel was neither obscene nor romantic enough to get involved in her fresh emotions.

Above all, there was the biggest reason why she couldn’t say a word to that boy.

“In the first place. “If you think about it from her perspective, I was just like that kid when I was young.”

“They were the same?”

“I didn’t know it when I was dating your mother, but I heard later that my late father-in-law was very unhappy with our relationship.”

I never would have thought there was such a behind-the-scenes story.

Edgar’s eyes opened wide at the unexpected story.

“But even though you knew it, you hid it. She said that if she was someone her daughter could trust and entrust with her life, she would be fine.”

“Your father is similar.”

“Yes. What if that kid wins Sonia’s heart, even if she doesn’t want to let him go? “She had no choice but to let go with tears in her eyes.”

Although Lancel only had the mindset of a fifteen-year-old, he was already worried about getting married.

But perhaps this is the heart of all fathers.

Edgar had that thought inadvertently.

“How’s Kellagg doing?”

“Why me?”

“Anyway, he’s practically like Sonia’s uncle, right? “I think I’ll have a lot of thoughts.”

“Well. He’s surprisingly good at looking after people, so I’m not too worried…”

Kellag paused for a moment, tipped his drink, and his eyes softened.

“… Still, I would like to have at least a meaningful conversation with that boy.”

Edgar scratched his cheek with a wry smile, wondering if he had said something pointless.

I hope nothing happens to Allen.

That was all he could hope for.
