Meanwhile, the maids were thinking about this unexpected situation.
Because it was unusual for the lord to suddenly bring an unknown child and put her in the same room with the young master they serve.
‘Well, their reaction was too intense.’
I should be careful from now on.
However, even connecting thoughts with the baby’s body was complex.
A yawn escaped my mouth again.
‘Haam, I’m sleepy.’
I looked up with hazy eyes.
Then the maid laid me in the cradle.
As soon as the pillow touched my head, my eyes closed.
‘Now I have to go back to sleep.’
As soon as I finished thinking, I heard Devarus weeping again.
“Uwuaaa”
Aww, it’s noisy. I was about to sleep.
I wiggled my limbs. It was a protest to told him to stop.
At that moment, the sound of a doorknob turning was heard, and someone appeared.
Judging by his tall height and size that overwhelms the maids, it was not hard to guess who he was.
‘Probably the Lord.’
As I expected, he was the head of the Ardellos family.
Since he had been outside for a while, I felt a coldness emerging from his body.
As he entered the room, he saw Devarus’s face, which was distorted and about to cry.
“Euaaaa!!”
“…….”
“Uwuaa”
“Noisy.”
That was all he had to say.
His cold and indifferent voice made me feel pity for Devarus.
‘It’s your own son, but why do you treat your son completely different from mine?’
Thinking about it up to that point, I remembered the fact that I had forgotten.
The Ardelos family was famous for its thorough Spartan(strict) education.
Moreover, there was a subordinate contract linked by blood between the head of Ardelos and his successor.
In other words, the lord viewed his flesh and blood as a subordinate, not as a son.
For them, kinship was just something they had to train well to take over as a family state.
It meant nothing more or less.
Again, if they did not possess satisfactory qualities, they were mercilessly abandoned like me.
‘That’s– that’s terrible.’
I frowned as I recalled the memories of the past.
I saw Devarus in my sight.
He is only a baby now, but soon he too will be tested.
Then, in order to succeed title, the successor will have to endure countless training that they have never even imagined.
When I think of Devarus, who will only be raised as a successor, I thought it was a little futile.
But even that was short-lived.
‘Really, who am I to worry about him.’
It was ridiculous. In the first place, my path was Taesan. [in Korean, Teasan means high mountains, so Lilith is saying that her life will be filled with obstacles]
I was about to turn my gaze away from Debarus.
As if he was looking at me just in time, my eyes met with the lord.
As soon as I flinched at the cool gaze, the cold gaze transformed into tenderness within a second, and his face filled with a dazzling smile.
He whispered to me in a gentle voice.
The voice that elicited the desired answer was quite serious. [he is cold and severe, so he probably doesn’t know how to talk with a child.]
“Baby?”
I reflexively shouted at his call.
“Ppa-ppa!”
my food! [lol]
I desperately shouted Papa.
If someone asks me if ‘papa’ is the only way to live, I’ll say yes.
Because this dangerous cohabitation had to go on at least until I became independent.
At that moment, a smile formed on the Lord’s face.
At the same time, the maids hardened their expressions.
*****
The mansion was shrouded in chaos.
There was only one reason they were surprised.
“The Lord brought a child!”
Agnos, the head of the Ardellos clan, did not pay much attention to his own son, devarus.
To be precise, it was more correct than he seemed to dislike his own child.
Even before, the Lord had to show his face to his son once a day.
Even so, when Devarus broke out in tears, he turned his steps away.
Besides, he had never hugged a child this tenderly.
The maids felt sorry for the young master who did not receive the love of his parents.
But this was unavoidable.
An ordinary family would say that the poor boy has such a cruel father, but the Ardellos family was not just an average family.
They had a crucial mission to defend the continent.
To not let this mission shed out of personal emotions, the first lord of the Ardellos family established a master-subordinate contract using his own blood. [like a newborn vampire and their sire]
‘The kin of the Ardellos family is unconditionally obedient to the patariah. It works stronger as the blood gets thicker.’
In other words, the two were subjugated by blood.
To Debarus, the lord was, far from being seen as a father, is felt only as a terrifying existence that he must obey.
So it was clear that Debarus was also instinctively scared.
He was only a few months old.
Under these circumstances, the gap between the two had no choice but to deepen.
The maids raised Debarus with a single belief not to go against the lord.
At that time, a baby girl came into the hands of the Lord.
She was a baby who even looked at him and shouted “Papa” without hesitation.
It was hard to believe, even if it wasn’t the blood of Ardellos.
Because the subject is the Lord.
The energy he spreads to protect the estate was not something a newborn baby could withstand in one day.
Not to mention ordinary children, even Debarus, also burst into tears when they saw the Lord.
So, when they heard about this from the butler, everyone shook their heads, saying that it was nonsense.
It was the same when the butler asked them to take care of the girl child in the same room as Debarus because there was no separate nursery room.
The servants struggled to convince him that it could be because the lord was so indifferent.
No one knew how the baby came into the hands of the Lord.
The prevailing opinion was that he could not simply turn away from the baby in the snowy field alone.
So, it was something the Lord had to do, whether to raise her properly and make her work as a maid or send her for adoption.
In the first place, as a child, growing up in the Ardellos family was a great honor.
However, their evaluation was quickly overturned.
That was after the so-called ‘papa’ incident.
