Chapter 27:
"The carriage has arrived. The carriage will shake a lot as it runs fast. I''ll carry you until you arrive at the Duke''s house, so please lean on mefortably."
He easily fixed and hugged Sarah so that she could be morefortable in his arms.
"Heaven"
Sarah, who leaned her face against Ethan''s firm chest, was perplexed. Seeing Sarah like that, ude smiled with a feverish face. It felt good to be held by his father with his nanny. Seeing ude smiling with her tear-soaked eyes, Sarah eventually burst intoughter together.
"Do you know where your hair grows when youugh while crying?"
Sarah said, poking ude''s smiling face with her finger. Her voice seemed more peaceful than ever. As Ethan looked at ude, who seemed to have attached quickly to her, he wondered if the child felt instinctively how devoted Sarah was to the two father and son.
''This is not good.''
Ethan narrowed his forehead, thinking about the not-too-distant future. Maybe as time went by just like this, Sarah Millen would be able to capture everything in Ambrosia. ude, and the servants, including the butlers and maids, and maybe...Ethan Ambrosia.
Including himself.
<b>***</b>
Sarah and ude, who returned to Duke''s house,y side by side in bed and suffered from illness. Sarah tried to receive treatment in the room provided to her separately, but ude, who had a fever, didn''t let her go, so she ended up lying down together. Ethan called in a doctor and watched Sarah and ude get treatment and take medicine, not missing a single thing. At that moment, Jade quickly approached and whispered into Ethan''s ear.
"His Majesty copsed."
"It''s a plunder. Is he trying to protest with his health to protect the First Prince?"
"I think he''s trying to buy time. Marquis Bollun has already arrived."
"He can''t let go of the First Prince until the end."
Ethan''s face was distorted. He clicked his tongue and even showed a slight irritation. Marquis Bollun was the father of the deceased Empress, a lonely and strong supporter of the First Prince. The fact was that the First Prince threatened a powerlessdy and a child with a sword, and even inflicted fatal wounds when his madness was at its peak. And it was a very important event that the child was Ambrosia''s sessor and that the woman was Countess Sarah Millen.
The Emperor, who predicted that Ethan Ambrosia would not stay still, was clearly determined to bury the Marquis Bollun and the incident somehow. Sarah, who noticed the situation, smiled and said.
"You can go now. I''ll be watching over Young Master ude."
"But who''s going to stay by Countess Millen''s side?"
"It''s okay because I think I''ll get better soon if I just lie down looking at Young Master ude''s face like this."
Ethan couldn''t hide hisplicated face as he saw Sarah''s mana, which was still spinning around her fingers, gradually opened up. Although her devotion waspletely directed toward Ambrosia, he was not pleased. He had yet to find out why she was helping Ambrosia so much. Smiling at Ethan, who had aplex face, Sarah stroked ude''s head, who was clutching the hem of her robe.
"......"
The child stared intently at his father, who had to return to the Imperial Pce soon. His other hand, which was not clutching Sarah''s hem, trembly reached out in the air before returning.
"......"
He wanted to tell his father not to go by clenching the hem of his father''s robe, but he couldn''t, so ude struggled to grip the nket tightly and bit his lip. It was natural to be more childish if he was sick, but seeing the child who held it in made Sarah''s heart ache. And it seemed it wasn''t just Sarah.
"I''ll stay by your side."
Ethan sighed deeply and pulled a chair next to the bed and sat down, which made ude''s face glow. Sarah, who confirmed the delighted child''s face, smiled brightly and stabbed ude in the cheek with her finger.
"Our Young Master ude is still a kid. Do you like it?"
"I''m not a kid!"
"Oh my, so our Young Master ude is all grown up?"
"Yes!"
ude nodded his head with a stern look on his face.
"Look at this, I have a fever, my head hurts, my chest hurts, but I''m not crying and I''m holding up well."
At that moment, Sarah''s and Ethan''s eyes met. It was obvious that Sarah was thinking the same thing as Ethan at this moment.
''This is crazy, so cute.''
ude''s cheeks flushed with fever, dering that he was not a kid in a triumphant, confident voice. A child who proudly ims to be an adult on such a subject was so cute.
"Oh my God, our Young Master ude has a headache and a heartache, but he didn''t cry? Aigoo, our Young Master ude is an adult! I didn''t know that!"
Sarah held her breath for a moment as herughter seemed to burst out of her mouth. Ethan also pretended to cough, covering his mouth with his hand and turning his head away. But ude, who soon realized he had been teased, pouted his mouth.
"I hate Nanny."
"Oh my? Only me? The Duke alsoughed with me, so why do you hate only me?"
Sarah was very upset and dragged Ethan, who was staying still. Then the child''s eyes rolled over to Ethan, who was holding back hisughter. For a moment, Ethan''s body stiffened with tension.
"......I hate Father too."
"......!"
ude sneaked out a word ming his father and pulled the nket over him. When Sarah saw Ethan''s face hardened in shock, she eventually smiled and hugged ude over the nket.
"Oh dear, are you mad, Young Master ude?"
Saying so, Sarah winked at Ethan. However, Ethan, who heard that the child hated him directly from his mouth, had been stiffened in shock since earlier.
"Duke, pleasefort Young Master ude quickly. He''s upset."
Ethan, who came to his senses at Sarah''s urging, looked at the bulging nket with an embarrassing gaze. Ethan''s face darkened because he had never soothed a sulky child before. After contemting for a while, he beckoned Jade, who was happily watching everything from behind.
"Yes, My Lord."
"Buy a diamond mine from the Muston Territory right away."
"No, My Lord, if it''s the diamond mine of Muston Territory, then it''s the 3rdrgest mine in the Empire"
"I''ll give it to ude as a present."
"......"
Jade looked at Sarah with a look of asking for help. Only Sarah, who was looking at Ethan with absurd eyes, seemed to be able to stop His Lord.
"Duke? Can I talk to you for a second?"
Ethan, who was seriously thinking of buying a diamond mine on the Muston Territory, looked at her with a face that he didn''t know what was wrong. Sarah cautiously got up and leaned her torso towards the Duke. Ethan brought his head closer to her with a serious face.
"What would Young Master ude do with a diamond mine?"
As Sarah whispered to him in a quivering voice, Ethan looked puzzled and replied.
"I''m thinking of giving him the ownership and letting him y with the market price..."
"Duke?"
She couldn''t help but smack her forehead with her hand because of Ethan Ambrosia, who offered to put the diamond price of the Empire into the hands of a child with a face that he didn''t really know anything about. Apparently, that man was not good at appeasing a child.
"That is not it?"
"Then is that right?"
When she quietly rebuked, the Duke bit Jade back with a sullen face. Sarah seriously patted ude under the nket, feeling the need for parental counseling.
"Since our Young Master ude is all grown up, you don''t need this Nanny, right?"
Sarah said that and pretended to get up. ude rolled up the nket and grabbed Sarah''s clothes in a hurry.
"N, no!"
"Hmm?"
"I''m taking care of Nanny now, so you can''t go!"
Sarah stoppedughing while looking at the eyes of the embarrassed child. While lying on the bed, Sarahined a little to ude.
"I get better quickly when someone hugs me. So please hug me."
Sarah said so and opened her arms toward ude. ude rolled his eyes and jumped into Sarah''s arms. Then Sarah hugged ude tightly with a bright smile. ude closed his eyes listening to Sarah''s heart beating with a pleasant beat.
''It''s warm.''
