“Then marry me!”

No one would seriously consider a marriage proposal from a 4-year-old child.

“I’ll think about it when Lady Kalia turns twenty.”

Leticia skillfully rejected Kalia’s proposal, which she had received countless times before.

Of course, her subsequent change of topic was also natural.

“By the way, where is my teacher? Did Lady Kalia bravely come here all by yourself?”

Among the brothers whose existence was being ignored, Tan raised his hand while dusting off the ashes on his body.

“I brought her. Mother hasn’t been seen since father took her away. We can’t leave a child alone in a room.”

It was a perfect statement for receiving praise, but Kalia herself contradicted it.

“I can stay alone just fine. I came to see Leti, not because I can’t stay in a room alone.”

“Of course. But since Lord Tan brought you here, Lady Kalia and I were able to meet like this, so I’m very grateful to Lord Tan.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll be grateful to Tan too!”

There wasn’t a trace of sincerity in Kalia’s exclamation, who would never call him brother even if she were dying.

However, even such insincere words were rare in Basilinte, so Leticia smiled and lightly kissed the side of Kalia’s head.

“You’re so sweet, Lady Kalia.”

“Mmm.”

Kalia, blinking shyly, tightly hugged Leticia’s neck.

The brothers watching this scene had expressions similar to seeing a giant spider acting cute.

Of course, they fixed their expressions as soon as Leticia called them.

“Lord Chamuka. Would you please take Lord Tan to that room over there, change clothes, and come back? It seems we can’t use this house anymore.”

It felt like Colin’s screams could be heard from somewhere.

Leticia sighed and moved her magic.

The bathroom faucet turned with a squeak, and water poured out. Leticia used the water to extinguish the remaining fires and clean away the ashes.

Washing the half-n*ked, ash-covered brothers was a bonus.

Thanks to this, their sculpture-like bodies that artists would go crazy for and use as models were revealed, but Leticia pushed the brothers into the room with an indifferent face.

“Leti, your ears are red.”

And Kalia poked Leticia’s ear while saying this.

“…Maybe it’s because it’s hot.”

“Because I called fire?”

“No. It’s just the weather. Haha…”

Leticia wiped away the flesh-colored afterimages floating before her eyes and focused more on cleaning up Colin’s destroyed house.

Although she wasn’t the one who destroyed it, she felt a bit guilty toward Colin, who had lent them this house.

“The clothes don’t fit.”

Tan came out of the room grumbling.

Although Tan was still growing, he was taller and bigger than Colin, the original owner of the clothes. He somehow managed to wear the loose shirt, but the pants were a problem.

Not only were they short, but they were also dangerously tight around his thighs, almost to the point of tearing.

Leticia could roughly guess Chamuka’s condition just by looking at Tan’s appearance.

She turned around, holding Kalia, to go outside.

“Let’s go back to the inn right away and change clothes.”

“Is Leti coming with us too?”

Leticia nodded at Kalia’s question.

“Of course. People probably can’t live in this house anymore…”

“I like that!”

When Chamuka finally came out of the room, Leticia left Colin’s damaged house without even looking at him.

Since Colin had deliberately rented a high-class inn on the outskirts of the capital to hide the fact that the Basilinte family was in the capital, it was quite a distance from Colin’s two-story house on the main street.

Leticia responded occasionally to Kalia’s words while choosing paths with fewer people.

She slightly ignored the brothers who were carefully following behind, afraid that their tight clothes might tear.

Kalia whined.

“Let’s go quickly.”

“Yes. Let’s go quickly, Lady Kalia.”

Encouraged by the affectionate response, Kalia said.

“Let’s quickly wake up the wizard grandfather, call mom, and go back to the castle.”

Although the men behind them could hear everything, Kalia still whispered into Leticia’s ear as if it were a secret.

“Let’s go without the non-magicians.”

Leticia smiled softly at Kalia’s adorable scheme to exclude the brothers who were taking Leticia away.

“We can’t do that.”

“Why?”

“Because everyone at the main castle must be desperately waiting for His Grace and Lord Chamuka.”

After Basilinte’s curse was lifted, it rained for ten days.

And that wasn’t a temporary phenomenon, but a sign that the Grand Duchy would gradually become normal like other lands of the continent.

However, neither the Grand Duke, who should handle this major situation and discuss future measures, nor his successor, was at the main castle right now.

Everyone except the former Grand Duke couple had gone to the capital to capture Leticia.

Leticia was afraid to imagine what state of chaos the Basilinte main castle might be in right now.

“His Grace and Lord Chamuka need to return quickly.”

Kalia, who was carefully watching Leticia’s expression as she said this, tilted her head.

“What about Leti? Don’t you want to go to the castle quickly?”

“I do. But I have someone I need to find here. I want to find them before going back.”

“Who?”

“Well, I don’t know their real name either.”

Since Sir Borba’s identity itself was fake.

Leticia thought of the Borba mansion she had briefly visited in the morning and smiled bitterly.

There was no need for a deep investigation.

The Sir Borba that Leticia knew was completely fake.

The former Baron Borba, who was on the verge of bankruptcy, received money in exchange for engraving names in the family register. He sold to so many people, and even the seller himself was deceased, so it was impossible to know who he had sold to.

“Then won’t it take a long time to find them? Let’s go to the castle first. Hmm? And ask mom to find them for us.”

“No. I have to find them myself. I must.”

“Then shall I help you?”

Leticia shook her head.

“I have to find them. With my own hands.”

If Leticia, who usually granted almost all of Kalia’s requests, said this much, it really must be unavoidable.

Kalia responded glumly.

“Okay…”

Leticia, who had just arrived in front of the inn, stroked Kalia’s head to comfort her and said.

“Well, we’re here. You two should change clothes- Aina?”

Aina, with an anxious expression, glanced at the Basilinte siblings and quickly approached Leticia.

With cheeks flushed red as if she had been running, she said.

“Young master, I have something to tell you. Can I have a moment…”

It was behavior unlike Aina, who hardly ever approached when Leticia was with the Basilinte family. She even grabbed Leticia’s sleeve.

Leticia handed Kalia, whom she had been holding, to Tan and sent the Basilinte siblings into the inn first.

“Aina, what’s wrong?”

Aina, watching the closed inn door, whispered softly.

“My brother came looking for me. He found out it was me while investigating because he was suspicious of me searching for my brother.”

“Congratulations. That’s something to celebrate… So why are you coming to me instead of being with your brother?”

“My brother knows Sir Borba’s whereabouts.”

Leticia froze for a moment.

But she smiled as if nothing was wrong. That name no longer shook her greatly.

“Is that why you waited for me like this? We were supposed to meet this afternoon, so you could have told me then-”

“He doesn’t have much time left, that man.”

As soon as she heard from her brother that it wasn’t something that could be explained with terms like terminal illness, but a situation where he could die today or tomorrow, Aina ran immediately.

What Leticia wanted was a conversation with that man.

“He’s in a state where it wouldn’t be strange if he died right now. If you want to meet that man before he dies, it’s best to move as quickly as possible…”

Aina entered her inn room, bringing Leticia along with quick steps.

Leticia, who seemed shocked by Aina’s words and was moving mindlessly as Aina led her, was handed a maid’s uniform by Aina.

“Change quickly and come out. You can’t enter that man’s house looking like that.”

“Huh?”

Leticia was pushed into the bathroom with the pile of clothes in her arms and blankly watched as the bathroom door slammed shut.
