I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 273



273 – Side Story – The Girl’s Curiosity (2)

The place where Ariel led Serena was the place in the castle where the stars could be seen the brightest.

It doesn’t mean that anyone specifically defined it, but it just means that in her eyes, this place is the most suitable.

“Serina, aren’t you cold?”

It had been quite some time since the sun had set, so it was quite chilly outside.

Ariel, who was concerned about this, looked down at her daughter and asked, wondering if she would, and Serena raised her arms confidently.

“Yes! It’s okay.”

Then, a coat slightly larger than her body flapped in the cold wind.

Ariel smiled voluntarily at the sight, as if she were seeing a child wearing her father’s clothes.

“Mom, why did you ask me to come out?”

“I have a story I want to tell Serena. “This is the best place for that.”

“… ?”

From noble mtl dot come

Serena tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

That’s because this was just the back yard of the castle.

There is no landscape or flower garden beautifully maintained by gardeners, and the two people are greeted by literally endless weeds.

Even if there was moonlight to replace the soft lighting, it wouldn’t be a good place to talk.

Why did it have to be here? A question suddenly occurred to me.

Whisk.

Just as I was about to think that, Ariel suddenly cast a spell to lie down on the cold grass.

At that sight, Serena’s eyes opened wide like a rabbit.

Because it was ingrained in her head that lying down on the grass or in the dirt was something she shouldn’t do because it would get her clothes her dirty.

“How about, Serena, do you want to lie down?”

Serena did not immediately follow her mother’s advice and seemed to hesitate for a while.

“Are you okay?”

“Then. “Mommy was lying down too, right?”

When Ariel tapped her on one of her arms, as if telling her to come here, Serena walked over and laid down on her arm.

She had similar feelings about Serena being held in Ariel’s arms her her, just as she had when Ariel was held in Helen’s arms her her her.

‘Mom smells like a flower.’

At first she thought it was the scent of perfume, but the only perfumes Serena remembered were thicker and not suited to her younger taste.

Then, where on earth does this scent come from?

Since she is a mother as beautiful as a flower, does her body also smell like a flower?

It was a cute guess that was possible because she was still a young girl.

“Serina.”

“Yes?”

At that moment, all kinds of thoughts were going through her mind.

Ariel’s hand gently touched her shoulder and her upright index finger pointed upward.

“Do you want to look at the sky like this?”

“Sky?”

Serena, who had her eyes wide open, turned her head from her mother’s direction to her side and looked straight up at the sky without knowing what was happening.

“Wow!”

At that moment, a bright exclamation flowed from Serena’s mouth to her.

The stars that always seemed far away are in front of her, and the sky seems to spread closer than the ceiling she could see when she lay down in bed.

She is so different just by changing her viewing position.

Serena exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as if she had just come to the greatest realization of her life.

“Cool. It feels like the sky is covered with a blanket.”

“Phew. Really?”

Serena’s review She made Ariel feel closer to wonder than satisfaction.

‘I wonder if someone is my daughter.’

Her feelings and expressions were exactly the same as when she first lay down and looked at the night sky at her Edgar’s recommendation her her her.

If you inherit blood, do you even become similar in emotional aspects?

I don’t know the details, but I was able to realize that it was her daughter.

“Actually, this is where her dad and mom used to come out often and look up at the night sky together.”

“Really? “I heard this for the first time.”

Serena, who only lifted her upper body and looked around the dark surroundings, lay down again.

I wondered why she had bothered to bring me to this vacant lot where there was nothing to see, and I couldn’t believe there was a reason.

“And the sight her mother is now showing our daughter was the first thing your father told her.”

“Are you dad?”

Serena turned her head to the side, looking at the night sky.

There, I saw Ariel smiling not out of joy as a mother, but as a woman.

“Huh. Even back then, her mother loved her stars, but she never once thought of lying down to look at them.”

To her as a child, her her star her her was an unreachable piece of dream endlessly embroidered over the railing of her balcony, the most distant entity in her her world her her her.

She never once reached out for it, she was content to just watch from afar.

However, the day I stopped by the Bilhark family.

At Edgar’s urging, she went up to the top of the mansion’s warehouse building and looked up at the night sky for the first time. From that day on, she realized that the stars were not so far away.

“Your father has always been like that. “I brought before her eyes what her mother thought was out of reach, and taught her new things she did not know.”

“I am like that too.”

“Yes? Nowadays, that is the role of family members and adults, such as father and mother, or grandfather and grandmother.”

Ariel continued her words while gently brushing Serena’s black hair that looked exactly like hers.

“But Serena, please know this.”

“Which one is it?”

“Later, when Serena is older than she is now and she meets someone, she will meet someone who will bring things to you that you did not know.”

“Not dad or mom?”

Ariel expressed her approval with a small nod of her head.

“For example, the names of flowers or stars that my daughter didn’t know. At the very least, it can be a way to cheer up when you’re depressed, or it can teach you how to enjoy food you’re trying for the first time.”

“Heh, it’s like a teacher.”

“I see. Maybe she will be the teacher who will teach Serena the most about her future life.”

If you think about it, Edgar was also a teacher to Ariel.

How to get along with people, how to know you’re sorry, how to be courageous, how to love someone.

Because she knew, learned, and was able to use all of those things through him.

Even if the person does not explain it in words, there is something you learn just by being by her side and walking together.

“So, if my daughter later enjoys hearing stories told by someone other than her dad or mom, and becomes interested in something new that person tells her, listen to that person’s voice more and pay attention.”

“Will there be someone like that for me too?”

“Even mom doesn’t know that. But I’m sure she will happen.”

Ariel’s eyes were filled with maternal love as she turned her head toward the night sky and looked at her precious daughter.

Soon she stretched out her right hand and poked her daughter’s solar plexus.

When Serena’s head quickly turned at the sudden touch of her, Ariel smiled at her and opened her mouth this time, pointing to the area near her her her her solar plexus with her left hand her her her.

“When her mom first found out she loved her dad her her her, she told her this kid was hers her.”

“Who is inside?”

Serena blinked her eyes as she looked down at her own chest.

Has someone entered her body her without her her knowledge her her her?

On the other hand, it was a pretty scary story.

“Then. “She doesn’t know Serena yet, but she knows that when the person her mother mentioned earlier shows up, she will definitely show up and tell him as well.”

Ariel placed her hand near Serena’s solar plexus and tapped it as if imitating the beating of her heart. Talk. She knocked a couple of times to make a sound.

“Like this.”

“Then what should I do?”

“You don’t have to do anything. All she has to do is hold her breath and watch carefully who will be in front of her at that time.”

‘Then you will know. ‘What did Mom say just now?’ Ariel carefully removed her hand from her daughter’s body and smiled mysteriously.

“Ugh… I think love is too difficult.”

“Yes? It’ll be fun when you find out. She had a hard time with her mother at first.”

Ariel gave a small pinch to her daughter’s cheek, who was pursing her lips with a puzzled expression, and gave an expression of understanding.

It was the same for her.

Although she realized her feelings of love at a younger age than Serena, she tried to convey her feelings to her beloved at an early age.

However, when she had just entered puberty, she felt embarrassed and awkward about every expression of hers, so she grumbled for no reason whenever she met him, and if his eyes were not directed to her on such topics, she would remain alone.

When I think back, she really was an annoying woman.

Then, at some point, she realized that one person’s existence was more important than her small pride or shame, and she became the active person she is now.

In that sense, while I was worried that Serena might follow in her footsteps, I also thought that would be quite fun.

I have no doubt that she will make the right choice either way.

“Then shall we stop talking about difficult stories and tell you a story from the past?”

“Great! But what is the title of that story?”

“I see. This story is called ‘The Story of the Star’…”

After Edgar, there was finally someone to whom I could relay the story that I once heard from her mother.

Ariel burst into laughter as she thought about how tomorrow would be a long time coming and that she would tell her son, who has been with her for three years, about her first love.

Eventually, with a feeling of elation wrapping around her heart, she began to tell her story in a calm voice, as if imitating the times when she read fairy tales to her daughter when she was young.

“A long time ago…”

As soon as her lips separated, the wind blew.

As if he would help prevent the secret stories exchanged between mother and daughter under the night sky from being leaked out.
