(3) A queit house

"Why?"

I had to ask Eugene again.

"Why isn't he coming back when he's all better?"

Soon, time passed, and the time was coming to Cabel to come back to Ernst. But did he suddenly decide to stay with Count Schumaha?

"Cabel said he wants to be a little more in Schumaha."

Eugene added, saying it was already decided a week ago.

"I'm busy right now, so I don't have time to use my nerves to Cabel, and my aunt told me to be not worry with both of you, so it's a good thing."

It was in this state of being. Perhaps if I hadn't asked first, Eugene would remain silent until the day Cabel was scheduled to return.

It's not necessarily because he didn't intend to hide it, he simply didn't have time to tell or time to share that story with us.

"Hubert, just a minute, leave into the room."

"Yes, Duke."

He also headed straight to the office, looking back at me to see if there was anything instruct the butler.

I know that Eugene is so busy that I can't make any attempts. I had understand that. So, at other times, I didn't take Eugene's time, and I quietly resigned, but it wasn't today.

"When you said it that way. It's sound like you think brother Cabel's bothering you and you leaving it to Schumaha."

Eugene's pace stopped at my quiet voice from behind. I soon faced his face again. Eugene had a cracked look on his solid coolness.

"It's not like that."

"I know."

I replied boldly to him who denied my words.

"But if you tell Erich or others that way, I'm telling you that my brother could be

misunderstood."

Eugene was silent for a while. I stared quietly at him, looking down at my face. After a while, Eugene opened his mouth.

"Hubert, let's leave it for today."

"Yes, your grace."

Even after Hubert turned around, Eugene stood up straight like a big tree and didn't see any disturbance. And only after I was completely alone with him was his body slowly beginning to relax.

In front of others, it seemed to be Eugene's unconsciousness to try to exist as a complete Ernst.

He raised his hand and wiped his dry face, and he looked very tired.

"Cabel said he didn't want to come back."

Perhaps because I was young, he thought he might not be vigilant. Or maybe it's because I just said I didn't misunderstand him.

"Dang Sook said he was shocked by the events of the hunting competition. And he said he still had symptoms after the incident, so…"

The story that Eugene confessed in his vague voice was a bit of a heartache.

"He still don't want to come to Ernst where he had memories with my parents."

What did Cabel think of when he conveyed that thought to Eugene?

"So I said that if the side in Schumaha is better for Cabel, that's it."

What did you think?

"Is it okay if you don't meet and talk to him yourself?"

"I think I'm going to go see him once this week, but I'm going to go late at night, so I don't think I can take you."

"We're okay, Just go around with care."

When I said that, Eugene smiled at me with a slightly lighter face than before.

"The madam who came as a tutor, is she good to you?"

I wasn't honestly troubled by what he was

asking, cause the answer I'd give him had been fixed before.

"Yes. You have nothing to worry about."

*******

Haah! But unlike what I said to Eugene, I

was still in trouble today. Ugh, what the hell did that lady eat to hit me like this?"

"You haven't gotten any better yet, I'm doubting the young miss is trying."

I'm just wondering if she's trying to pay attention even a little bit? You're not teaching for free, so you do this completely in purpose right?

Besides, you know I'm still 9 years old. I thought I wanted to stop doing this a few times a day, but whenever I did, I thought of Eugene's tired face.

He take over his father's position and lead the Ernst forward. Yet he also have to look after his two younger brothers who need attention. And the bitch who came to embrace instead of his parents.

The burden he carried on his shoulders wasn't that light.

If I think about it, it could be said that even if he did not kick me out of this house, I was like a parasit who lived here, and he have another important things to take care of beside me.

Whether it's because of the last respect for the Ernst couple who considered me as their daughter, or the traces of his dead sister, who sometimes peeked at me.

Or maybe it was because of his own care accumulated during the time we spent

together.

Either way, I didn't want to make him more tired otherwise as he was on a tough road.

It was because I knew that the Ernst couple was as decent as they seemed to be, even when they died.

Besides, it wasn't as big as hitting my body, and education only last at least 5 years anyway.

No, but five years….

Ugh, that's a little long. Maybe I should find a way.

"Huft. That damn aunt."

I held a bitter leg today and indeed took out the communication sphere after a long time.

The communication sphere that Johannes gave me was already out of stock and was bought from my side last fall.

Of course, it wasn't really me, but the Ernst couple bought it.

Thinking of those who died, one corner of my heart became full of thought for a moment, and then I rubbed the whole stone and pressed the recessed part on the back.

[Hari!]

It's been a few seconds since the lights on the sphere came on, and the voice that I heard was familiar.

"Hi, brother Johan."

It was Johannes whom I haven't seeing for a long time.

[How are you doing?]

He seemed to want video communication,

but I didn't accept it by touching the blue sphere.

After briefly explaining Ernst's situation, I told him that Marquis Leonard's wife, my

aunt, was taking care of Erich and me, and that I was being taught by a tutor some time ago.

[A home tutor? I think it's still early….]

Hearing my words, Johannes dimmed. What he said was a matter of time anyway, that's what I thought.

Ordinary, guardians would not have gone into discipline with children shortly after losing their parents, but I was the only one

with a tutor, and Erich was learning the basics directly from Marquis Leonard.

Moreover, in practice, he wasn't getting the right education like me, as he was having a good time with gold and jade and language.

When I first knew it, I thought it was a fatality. Huft. Take a deep breath. The original world is unfair, truth to be told.

And frankly, it was Erich who was hit hard by Ernst's death, so he deserved special care.

"But I'm learning hard because I like learning."

Of course, I can't escape the punishment.

[You don't have to work that hard.]

But Johannes quietly listened to my story and told me the same thing.

[If it's hard, you don't have to work that hard.]

At that moment, Johannes' face was missed, but the blue light already on the sphere had just disappeared before.

Of course, if I asked first, Johannes would accept it without a word, but I didn't.

However, I whispered a small voice in my heart as I recalled the soft voice revolving in my ear.

"Thanks."

In the end, Eugene never met Cabel. He went to Schumaha late at night, but Cabel refused to meet Eugene.

Eugene calmly told the truth, but I noticed that he was shocked by it.

Still, the other story went well that day, and at the noble conference held thereafter, it was heard that Count Schumaha was the strong support of the new Duke of Ernst.

"I really, why can't I sleep and do this?"

I yawn out of my mouth. I grumbled a little while holding up.

Mrs. Leonard was not staying at Ernst all the time, but was dropping in at the mansion as she commuted to work at a

fixed time.

I still knew every night there was a whipping of tears in Erich's room.

Huft. I also knew what happened when the silence of the night was so heavy that the silence of the night spread around.

Krak.

Erich, who opened the room and went out into the hallway, was barefoot even though he wasn't even wearing indoors shoes.

Haah. As he stepped out one step further, a large rabbit doll in his hand made a

sound of dragging on the floor. That's the doll I gave him.

At first, he just said that he hated it, but then he seem to want to hold it well. I see a rabbit doll and a one-body fuselage coming out of bed every night.

"Woof!"

"Shh. Penny, you can't bark."

I whispered a little, stroking the penny from Erich's room. Erich dragged the doll without focus in his eyes and walked somewhere.

Me too. I sat up squatting next to him and

quietly followed him. It was the Ernst's room that he visited today. Erich just stood blankly in front of the room.

Probably not moving from that state for a while. I leaned against the wall, looking at Erich's face with my arms around my knees.

The last time I learned about Erich's

sleepwalking in the last life was one day when I came out late to drink water.

That day I found a white figure in front of the Ernst couple's door and I thought it was only a ghost, but it was Erich, and he just stood still with a blank face, no answer no matter how I called.

At that time, I didn't know what sleepwalking was, so I just thought that Erich, who didn't bother me, was strange.

So I didn't even think I had to let Erich

know that I know in this state as an adults.

Ever since then, I've seen Erich in the hallway barefoot, sometimes late at night. I think he miss his parents so much. I thought I couldn't leave before his visit emd.

And after some time, Butler Hubert will discovered Erich.

Immediately after that, the news came to Eugene, and eventually the doctors will came to the mansion the next day repeatedly said that sleepwalking had no cure and had to wait for it to disappear.

Since then, Erich has slept with wrists

on the pillar of the bed every night.

"You have to go to the room and go in and sleep."

I heard that it was actually Erich's request. Although young, he was ashamed of his illness.

What's more, he was even more

embarrassed if he knew I was the someone who witnessed a night's job that

he couldn't even remember himself.

But it's still not happening now. As I am the only one who know this right now.

"How much do you think I'm lacking sleep because of you these days?"

So I didn't intend to let Erich know what I'm doing. I mumbled a little sound into words that he didn't hear.

I thought about it before, but I don't know why I care about the brother. If there is a real god in this world, why did you send me back?

Are you going to let me experience something that is neither pleasant nor

pleasant?

In fact, I could leave this place tomorrow.

Of course, it would be difficult for a girl without anything to live alone in street alone, but I was an adult by the age of my mind, even though I was a child, no one in the world would be properly recognized.

I didn't do it though. Perhaps there was someone who would take pity on me and take me away.

Even if it weren't, there would have been a way to survive somehow, but at this

moment I still remain in Ernst and are guarding Erich, who wanders alone

in the middle of the night.

Wouldn't it be better to leave…

Honestly, I have been thinking several times so far. The strongest thought was when Eugene abandoned me on a cold winter day with no one knew.

And when the Ernst couple died and I attended their funeral. Again now.

"It's not very much different than this."

My self-talk was broken and came back to

me again.

'But Hari is our baby too.'

A warm voice rang like a spring sun in my ear, but the quiet hallway was cold, so I pulled my knees a little more and held it.

Those of you who have made me a child are already dead. I hate that this house is quiet.

Actually, it was because I hated the quiet place that I followed you in Mellington, and the house now was breathtakingly quiet.

Now Ernst is not much different from Mellington's house for me. So I can leave here anytime.

Swap.

Finally, I felt like Erich was passing by in front of the Ernst couple room and I looked up. I still did not lift myself.

No footsteps were heard from Erich, who walked down the hallway barefoot.

Only the doll he was holding was making a

sound of dragging on the floor. Penny came to my side, licked my hand for a while, and soon followed Erich.

"Good night, Erich."

I still squeaked with my face on my knees.

Of course, there was no answer to return.
