"Boy, it's not your fault. My son will choose his own path of his own accord." Sam planted his palm on Adam's head and offered a kind smile. "And I will protect you both. Jaime will not harm you anymore, I won't let him." Adam gazed at Sam blankly. I could not help but smile at seeing the young Lord's expression. "I can't adopt you, but I will always be behind you, my lord. I know you will become a great Earl." Sam affirmed that touched my heart and Adam's. The corner of the young earl's eyes welled…

We idled in the plaza for quite some time before deciding to go home before night falls. Adam, the young Earl, had to go back home. But because of Law's reluctant gaze, Sam and I ended up inviting the young Earl to our humble estate. Obviously, this should be a problem... but Jaime Malum wouldn't apprehend my husband, would he? "Father, is the emperor just like what that narrator said? Do you think he is as great as the people believed?" Suddenly, on our way home while we were inside the carriage, my…

"She fell head over heels at the Duke of Grimsbanne." It took me a minute to process what Sam said just now. When I absorbed this news, my eyes dilated as my mouth fell open. I didn't hear him wrong, right? Beatrice and Yul? What? Sam rocked his head, closed-lipped. "I don't know the details since I don't care about them, but I remembered Yulis sending me a letter concerning this." "Was it a wedding invitation?" I blurted out, horrified at the thought of Yul getting married. "No. Rather a…

I was relieved to hear that Fabian stuck with Sam until now. Although I knew Fabian was like Sam's tail, it still made me worried that he was not with my husband anymore. "Then, how come Ramin and Charlotte had become your right and left hand?" I perked my head up, staring curiously at Sam. "Well, it just happened." Sam tilted his head to the side, blinking cluelessly. "Rufus had to stay in the imperial capital and I can't entrust the military power to anyone else but him. Although Fabian was…

I felt like a fool, crying in a public space and gathering some unwanted attention. But I didn't care — my husband didn't care as well. Instead, he pulled me into his embrace and patted my back until I stopped bawling my eyes, albeit still hiccuping. "Since... when.... did you... know how to become so romantic?" I hiccuped while drawing away from his embrace. Sam chuckled playfully as he leaned forward with a pout. "What are you saying, Silly? I am always the romantic type. Didn't I say we will…

We tried different games in the street fair and collected a fair amount of stuffed toys as prizes. Honestly, I didn't feel tired until Sam and I sat down on a bench around the plaza while Charlotte helped Law and Adam buy some more cotton balls. I gazed at the stuffed animals on my side, smiling at the numbers we had gathered. We could use all these as decorations for Law's room or mine. (If my son didn't like it.) "Did you have fun?" I snapped my eyes and turned my head to my right. There, Sam sat…

"Wow! What just happened?" "Is he cheating? Or did Glory go too easy for him?" "But look at Glory! I have never seen him struggle so much!" Doubt soon came after, but Glory's twisting face to fight off Sam's arm made it hard to distinguish if what they were seeing was actually happening. Also, why would they rig the game? Sam could triple the prize money. "Damn..." Glory cursed through his gritted teeth, clutching the end of the table with his free hand. "Why you... little..." "You shouldn't…

I squeezed their hand and gazed down again to reassure them not to worry. After that, I set my eyes on Sam and the arm-wrestling champion. The host of the event stood in between them, announcing to the crowd to put their bets before the round started. My eyes scanned the crowd, some chipping their money in a hat. 'So the betting is really allowed, huh?' I nodded, as it only made sense to make it more interesting. I didn't pay attention to them longer as I cast my gaze at Sam. Studying Sam and the…

It didn't take long when we reach the street for that arm-wrestling event. Unlike earlier, there were more men trying to get that huge prize money and occupied the street. I looked at Sam and spoke when he gazed back. "Will you really participate?" "Hmm. Yes. You?" "Sam." I cast him a knowing look, and he rocked his head. Sam then glanced at the two and smiled innocently. "Let's go," he said, not explaining why he asked me if I was going to take part as well. I was trying to be modest here, so…

Law, Adam, and I tried the arcades in the street fair of Minowa as soon as we reached the downtown. At first, the two young boys were anxious. Who wouldn't? We snuck out, and I felt bad for instilling that we were being 'mischievous' right now. So, my job was to erase that anxiety. After playing a few games and winning some stuffed toys, Adam and Law relaxed and gradually forgot about their worries. Since we've played enough, I took them to the sweet stall where my mouth had been watering ever since I…
