Getting Married Without My Badge - CH 10

“To my sister, your son said something careless.”

It was then that Sir Delat raised his head for the first time.

‘Ah.’

Then he knew

Sir Delat was weak to the strong and strong to the weak.

Him being embarrassed in front of Leto, Noah immediately opened her mouth and gave strength to her gaze.

“This…”

And Sir Delat said in a slightly angry voice.

“I’m sorry.”

He wasn’t sorry at all.

“Right.”

Noah answered sarcastically.

Leto hurriedly pressed the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. Because, upon hearing Noah’s answer, Sir Delat’s face turned bright red. It was like a baby pig.

“Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like your son has any intention of apologizing, so I won’t ask for an apology either.”

Noah didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

Instead, she attached a condition.

“Please don’t let your son hang out with my sister, and be careful not to harass other classmates.”

Otherwise, they would get involved directly.

“I see.”

Sir Delat answered meekly.

But Noah could not easily believe his words.

The damn noble was still watching Leto, and it seemed like he wasn’t even listening to Noah’s warning, the real guardian.

“…”

Anxiety swelled up for a moment, but Noah got up from her seat with a short sigh.

If she went further here…

“… ”

…She would not know what would happen to the Delat, who kept his eyes on Leto.

~*~

“That little boy.”

Leto came out and checked his car, which was roughly parked on the playground.

Because it was such a famous car, there were a lot of footprints around it.

“I don’t know if he will be okay.”

“Are you worried that his father will scold him?”

“Maybe?”

Leto smiled as he looked at the tiny handprints on his red car. It seemed that immature children could not overcome their curiosity and touched it.

“A kid’s mouth is usually not that harsh.”

At that, Noah frowned.

“Who did you think he learned it from?”

Leto turned around and smiled.

“That’s why you must have finished it without further arguing.”

“The correct answer is not to deal with such a person.”

Noah readily admitted.

However, Noah had no idea that Leto even thought about it.

He acted as if he didn’t care about other people’s circumstances at all, but sometimes showed really unexpected consideration.

‘Of course, the problem is that there are more times when the other person does not accept it as consideration.’

Noah could not shake the thought that he was a very clumsy human.

“…Looks like Sir Delat wasn’t at headquarters.”

Instead of thanking Leto for his help, she brought up a suspicion.

“It was strange that the lawyer came first, but the time it took to get here after receiving a call was too fast.”

“Faster than us from headquarters.”

Leto had already guessed the absurd thing about him.

There were many fishy signs.

“I wonder what our capital scoundrel was trying to do until he left his place of work…”

The way he was muttering was like the demon king’s self-talk to start an evil prank.

After all, a twisted personality like that couldn’t be as reliable as an ally, Noah thought, looking down at Leto as if he were not a human being.

“You must be busy, Captain.”

“It’s something we have to do. I’ll complain about being busy…”

“I have to prepare for the wedding, and I have to get married.”

“…”

Are wedding preparations subject to vacation?

It was a much more serious self-talk than before when he was suspicious of Sir Delat.

Noah felt very sorry for herself for having to discuss it with a guy like that.

“Sister!”

Just then, Clare ran out of the school building. Ash was greeting her teachers behind her.

“Hey, I’m hungry!”

Clare, who had been whining while clinging to Noah’s leg, raised her hand to Leto.

“Thank you for coming too, brother-in-law!”

“Unbelievable!”

Moved, Leto willingly lowered himself and asked to confirm.

“Sister-in-law finally acknowledges me as her sister’s husband…”

“Who is the sister-in-law and the brother-in-law?”

Noah rushed in.

“Clare…”

And she poured out her worries like a storm.

She ran her hand over the child’s clothes, checking for any injuries. Clare twisted her body as it tickled.

“Are you okay? Is there any pain?”

“I beat him!”

Clare replied bravely.

“As taught by grandmother, I hit his chin because he didn’t understand even after two warnings!”

She proudly raised her fist.

“Grandma gave these fists the name ‘Persuasion’.”

“Oh?”

“Brother also taught me before.”

“Forget about that, and good job. But next time, let’s hit places that aren’t.”

“…Does she usually teach to hit?”

Leto, who had been listening quietly, intervened. The conversation a while ago did not seem to be very good for the emotional education of children.

Before that, I wondered how homeschooling in my house came about.

Grandmother gives her fists a name, and she had a brother teach her how to use it.

But did Noah have a brother?

‘I’ve never heard of it.’

“Little master.”

As soon as the conversation with the teachers was over, Ash approached.

“What did you say?”

Noah asked, nodding her head to the teachers far away.

“It was a fight between children, and the cause and fault were on the other side, so there should be no problem. And that student has a temporary one-month leave.”

Noah laughed at that.

“How great.”

“Are you going home like this, Little Master?”

“No, I have to go back to the unit again.”

Noah replied with a small yawn. Even this small commotion was work, and she was quite tired when the tension was relieved.

“It wasn’t enough for the damn capital soldiers to visit, and with this uproar…”

“We have a lot of work to do.”

Leto, who had suddenly intervened, reached out to Ash.

“I don’t think I introduced myself properly yesterday and today. I’m Leto Oceanus. Please call me comfortably.”

Ash held her hand and bowed politely.

“I was not able to say hello because I was not in a good mood earlier. Thank you very much for your help. I’ve been bothering you for the past few days.

“Bothering?”

Leto smiled bitterly.

“Don’t say such a sad word. If it’s Noah’s family, it’s like my family. If you have any trouble at any time, don’t hesitate to contact me.”

“Oh, I can’t do that to you, Lieutenant General.”

Ash replied.

“You came to school because of our little girl and helped out. By the way, our little master is usually in a great position in the army…”

“Of course.”

Noah readily agreed.

Noah really liked Ash’s natural iron wall, and it was nice to see Leto hiding his embarrassing inside with a smile.

“Haha.”

Leto let out an awkward laugh.

‘She’s tough.’

Although seemingly gentle and kind, Ash clearly drew an invisible line to Leto.

“We will take a close look to make sure this does not happen in the future.”

She asserts to the end that his kindness and what happened today was solely due to Clare’s coincidence.

She didn’t show her opinion openly, but Ash didn’t like Leto, who made Noah work hard.

Even now, he was Noah’s superior, so she was just observing the proper manners.

Leto knew well that people like this were the scariest.

‘I have a long way to go.’

When he thought about why Noah was so decisive and stubborn, it seemed to be a family history.

“I like you, so see you next time!”

Clare grabbed Leto’s finger and smiled broadly.

The innocence towards him was so dazzling that Leto smiled without realizing it.

Still, there was one person who took such good care of him, so it was still progress.

‘It’s just my opinion.’

~*~

“It wasn’t a good move to aim for Ash.”

On the way back to the unit, Noah touched the parts inside the car with a familiar touch. Then the roof that had been folded in the back of her seat slowly moved up and covered the top.

“You notice that?”

It was only his thoughts that he felt some progress. Leto replied in a muffled voice.

“Then you don’t think she’ll come around?”

“As long as I keep rejecting the lieutenant general, Ash will never open her heart.”

“She’s the most difficult target to attack.”

“It is a mistake to start thinking that way.’

Noah snorted.

“It’s a matter between me and the lieutenant general, so my family has nothing to do with it.”

“But we kept getting entangled.”

“Hence why I’m not happy with that.”

In fact, none of the problems between them have been properly resolved, and Noah was frustrated that such a shaky state continued.

The stagnant water without progress was bound to rot in the end. Read only at pm tl.

“Ha…”

She gently tapped her foot in the car in frustration.

“By the way, did you have a brother?”

Leto asked, turning the steering wheel gently.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Because you didn’t ask.”

“If I asked, would you answer?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

It was the moment when Noah looked at him.

“Ugh!”

The car stopped abruptly with a squeak. She was devastated because there were no cars on the coastal road.

“Lieutenant General!”

Noah screamed, barely holding back her body leaning forward at the sudden stop.

Her shoulder and chest throbbed from the seat belt.

“What are you doing! Driving like this will cause an accident…”

“Wait a minute.”

Leto grabbed Noah’s hand and asked for silence.

He was strangely surprised and bewildered, and Noah was surprised at the same time and looked at Leto in a strange way.

She didn’t know why he suddenly did this, but it was like someone who accidentally burned the winning lottery ticket had lost his mind.

Noah was able to recall this parable because she had actually witnessed that moment.

‘Are you really crazy because you’ve heard people say you’re a crazy dog?’

He used to be crazy, but is he even crazier now?

It was at that moment, she slowly pulled her body back, looking at Leto, who was still unresponsive. (tl/n: WHY CLIFFHANGER)
