Chapter 210: Its Finally My Turn

Editor: Sam

The Third Easter Prince returned to his country soon after, so I didnt have the opportunity to meet him face-to-face.

He showed a special interest in Lei, but that doesnt mean that he kidnapped her because of that interest.

That was the unanimous opinion from the adults. I dont believe that I was kidnapped because he liked me or was curious about me. I wonder if he became more interested in me because he failed to kidnap me in Wester.

It ended with the people closest to me being more vigilant.

But I want the adults to think more about Easters purpose since theyre backing the Prince. I believed this, but I felt like it wasnt a toddlers job to tell them what to do, so there was nothing I could do in the end.

I have fun every day and cherish my family. Thats how I spend my days. Its fine for me to spend my days like that.

Like before, I spent the afternoon with Nico, morning and night with Otou-sama and days off with Nii-sama.

However, it was a big problem for Nico to lose an energetic playmate. Hes bored while Im napping. Therefore, he wanted to do more things.

Lei still naps a lot even though shes turned two.

I thhinw I nap weshsh. (I think I nap less)

I argued back. I certainly still fall asleep after lunch. But Im sure that I play more when I get up.

Youre right Lei. But look at this.

Nico looked proud as he wrote something on a slightly biggish piece of paper. For some reason, Odds-sensei looked proud.

There was a graph on the paper with the date on the horizontal side and the time on the vertical side.

I looked a bit fed up.

I was really bored when we first came back from the northern fief, so Odds-sensei asked if I wanted to learn how to tell time.

Reawwy?

It was certainly difficult for a genius three-year-old to tell the time. Oh, hes four now.

So then, I recorded how long you slept and stayed away after you went home. I drew up the entries like this, and look.

Loow ath whath?

The time you sleep increases and decreases, but it doesnt change much throughout the whole graph.

So?

Nico spoke proudly without realizing that I was grumpy, then he puffed out his chest with pride.

So, you arent sleeping less, but you play more since Albans comes late to get you. This paper over here has the times that Albans comes to pick you up.

Nico is smart and I think this is a good way for him to learn the basics of numbers. I can also see that Odds-sensei is proud of Nico but, Ithsh noth powithe tho meashure a wadysh shweeping thime. (Its not polite to measure a ladys sleeping time)

Lady?

Buffo.

That last laugh was probably from Hans. Geez.

Nico looked around, wondering where the lady was then suddenly realized.

Lady?! Yes, yes, Lei is a lady. Hmm, if she says she is then she is.

You canth record your friendsh shweeping thimesh. (You cant record your friends sleeping times)

I see. Im sorry, Nico apologized, frankly.

Then what should I record next? This is pretty fun.

Hmm.

Even if Chris isnt here, he replaced the time with something else. Nico casually said to the lonely me, Just like how you have Luke, Chris has Felicia. Im sure Felicia is making Chris study since shes a serious person.

Ai. Im shure shhe ish.

I pictured Chris sulking.

Now, Lei. Lets play until Albans picks you up so that we dont waste time while youre awake!

Ai!

This is a childs job.

The seasons have changed, and the rainy season that occurred before summer is here.

Even sho ishnth ith raining thoo much. (Even so isnt it raining too much)

I wonder if I hadnt noticed this because I was in Wester last year. I went back to the mansion and watched the continuous rain outside the window.

No, its raining more than usual this year. Its a bit depressing when the rain continues like this, Natalie explained without changing her usual expression. She didnt seem depressed at all, but she probably felt down.

Ithsh thime tho pway in thhe mud outhshide.

In the mud?

I guess I cant. I glanced at Natalie.

Then shall I make some play clothes that can get dirty for you? I need to get in touch with your designer group.

I didnt know there was a group like that. I decided not to ask her about it and looked out the window.

Huh?

A carriage surrounded by Rug Dragons came running in past the gatekeepers. Did something happen at the castle since Otou-sama is home?

Nathawie woow.

What is it? Oh my, isnt that Graces? Hes wearing the special forces uniform.

Ith doesh woow wiwe thhath.

Then that is not the so-called enemy. I was sort of relieved.

Iww go tho thhe enthrance.

Lei-sama, you cant. You will be summoned if it is something. Even if hes a guard, hes in
