WEAKENED VERSION

Aunt Dayana sighed in relief and smiled when she saw my confident expression. But in the next instant, she frowned.

"It looks like the Riea family can't wait anymore. It's obvious this time plot was aimed to destroy our businesses."

I smiled wryly. "Well, I can become a great obstacle if I decide to aim for the throne. They probably want to curb my wings completely."

To be honest, it's normal for the Riea family to attack me. I'm more surprised that Louise gave up so easily. After all, she could have ordered her two bodyguards to attack together with her.

She seems to care very much about her honor. If it would have been her brother, Al, he surely would have used them.

Well, I would have won either way, but it would have forced a bit more of my strength.

At that moment, the sound of someone running came from the house.

"Cousin, you were so cool!" Little Charlie exited the house.

I looked at him and shook my head. It looks like he saw the fight from the second floor.

"Cousin, teach me how to fight like that!" Little Charlie looked at me with his eyes shining.

"I will, I will." I rubbed his head and grinned.

Aunt Dayana smiled seeing it, but she quickly put on an apologetic expression.

"Claus, I think I must go to the auction house now. I don't know if the Riea family is planning something there."

I put on a pensive expression before nodding. "You are right. The Riea family will not give up like this. We better are cautious."

"Mm. But I can't leave little Charlie alone. Why don't you stay with him while the nanny comes?" Aunt Dayana said.

I hesitated briefly before nodding. Aunt Dayana made a relieved expression and kissed my cheek.

Quickly, she changed her clothes. She then explained to me a pair of things I had to pay attention to and walked to the door.

"Claus, take care of little Charlie. You can leave when the nanny arrives."

"Okay. I was thinking of visiting grandpa today."

Aunt Dayana nodded and left.

When aunt Dayana left, I stayed alone with little Charlie.

"Cousin, teach me to be so strong!" I smiled at his innocent words and played for a bit with him. I taught him a bit of swordsmanship and tell him some stories. Little Charlie was spellbound by my words and heard me carefully.

But after playing with him for around one hour, someone knocked on the door.

"Mrs. Dayana, I'm Sara's daughter!" A sweet and a bit immature voice came from outside the door. I signaled little Charlie to wait and went to open the door.

When the door was opened, I was greeted by the image of a beautiful young girl.

The girl was a bit tall, around 1.7 meters, with a slender body and small breasts. She had short black hair and brown eyes and was wearing a simple white dress.

Although the girl could not be considered stunning, she had a kind of humble beauty. When she saw me open the door she put on a startled expression before blushing a bit. I could see she was a bit timid.

"You are?" I asked once I finished examining her. The girl panicked a bit hearing my question, but she quickly composed herself. "I-Is Mrs. Dayana at home? I-I'm Sara's daughter, the nanny..."
