Getting Married Without My Badge - CH 9
“…”
“Rather, that was self-defense.”
Noah countered by hiding Clare behind her.
“But instead of apologizing, you’re suddenly arguing about whose fault is bigger?”
While her sister was fighting the lawyer, Clare was busy making fun of Young Master Delat behind her back.
She stuck out her tongue and showed her clenched fist.
“Miss…”
Ash hurriedly stopped her.
“Guardian, things will be difficult like this.”
The lawyer sighed and clicked his tongue. When he took off the glasses he was wearing, his already skinny face looked strangely mean.
“He is the only young master of the Delat family.”
The lawyer’s voice grew heavier.
“Delat is an aristocratic family whose name in the capital makes everyone tremble. Besides, it is a family that has produced royal knights who have been protecting the royal family for a long time.”
‘Whatever.’
Noah had to listen to the threat with a sour look.
“He is part of the third generation of the Delat family.”
‘And your point is?’
At the lawyer’s ineffective threats, Noah glanced at Leto.
She thought the situation would be fun to watch for him, but he was glaring at the lawyer with a cold gaze.
But as soon as he noticed Noah’s gaze, he changed to his usual smirk.
‘Third generation?’
‘That’s right.’
Noah, who finished the conversation with her eyes, answered sternly.
“Is that so? I am sorry that the precious master was hurt.”
“The Delat family has a very deep love for their children.”
So, did they have a habit of talking to a child like that?
She didn’t know how unusual the Delat couple’s love for their children was, but their educational philosophy seemed to be the worst.
And there was the lawyer.
“Nevertheless, I am a trusted lawyer for the Delats.”
“…”
“Honestly, it’s as Miss Bello said. There’s no need to make the children’s fight so big.”
“Uh-huh.”
I said as he coughed an empty cough.
“It’s not very nice to see adults getting involved too much in children’s fights. So…”
He said quietly to Noah.
“Later, the two of us separately…”
It was at the moment when Noah noticed his dirty intentions and was about to grab his neck.
“…That’s right.”
Leto, who was silent, intervened for the first time.
“Uh, you’re here too?”
“My sister-in-law is doing well.”
“Are your eyes blind? I can’t even go home because I’ve been caught unfairly!”
“Oh, my sister-in-law’s heart must be uncomfortable.”
Maybe it’s good.
Leto, stroking Clare’s hair lightly, stood in front of the lawyer. Noah looked at Leto with an annoyed gaze.
But she didn’t bother stopping him.
“…Who are you?”
The lawyer seemed to have noticed Leto’s existence just then. He was slightly wary of Leto, who was a lot taller than me. Read only at pm tl.
“I am also a guardian. Miss Clare is my sister-in-law.”
“Uh, I thought you were a crazy dog…”
Ash hastily covered Clare’s mouth.
“Are you married?”
The lawyer’s gaze toward Noah was full of disappointment.
“You don’t think so?”
Excitedly, Noah asked.
“Well, he is quite handsome and in good shape. I understand your jealousy.”
“Since you said so, I will continue to serve with all my heart tonight…”
“Ho-ho, we have good strength.”
Suddenly, the two of them leaned on each other and smiled.
However, when Noah secretly pinched the back of Leto’s hand that was wrapped around her waist, Ash witnessed it.
And a lawyer who dreamed of doing something alone with Noah…
“…Pftt!”
“Haha.”
“Heh…!”
…Was ridiculed by the teachers who were present here.
The lawyer’s face turned red in an instant.
“…You probably don’t know.”
The lawyer who put on his glasses again had a colder and meaner expression than before.
“No matter how far the south is from the capital, it seems that you do not know how frightening the noble families there are.”
“…”
“…”
However, the threats did not work for the guardian couple.
“I think the same goes for the lawyer.”
Leto introduced himself belatedly.
“I’m late to say hello. I am Leto Oceanus.”
“I wonder when the name…”
The arrogant lawyer’s face began to harden.
“Oh, Ocea…!”
“Actually, I think it’s a bit overkill for a lawyer to engage in children’s fights.”
So Leto suggested.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a conversation with the guardians?”
~*~
“Ho…”
Clare was slowly walking around the hallway, holding Ash’s arms. The child rested her face on Ash’s shoulder, as her eyelids twitched.
“Are you sleepy, Miss?”
“I’m okay…”
“Were you surprised today?”
Ash patted on the back saying it was okay to sleep.
But Clare didn’t want to sleep. It was because she was so curious about what was going on in the classroom right now.
“Ash.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Ocea…”
“Are you curious about the Oceanus family?”
“Yes!”
Ash paused for a moment.
“Do you know the most influential and powerful noble family in the Kingdom of Adlabor?”
“Adbello!”
“The next strongest family is Oceanus.”
After the explosion of the tower, one of the many changes that occurred in the Kingdom of Adlabor was the sinking of the noble forces.
After the revolution, half of the nobility gave up their status, and the other half lost their status because they were caught selling their titles.
So, the existing noble families endured a huge revolution, and their prestige and influence was enormous.
“The Oceanus is a very prestigious family.”
“Why?”
“They have people like soldiers and knights. People who fight for their country.”
The Marquis of Oceanus had long been a knight’s family who defended the kingdom.
Most of the heroes who often appear in the story of great men read by young children or in theatrical sagas were from that family.
“Oceanus is famous for its military industry.”
“I know the military industry. Are they making weapons?”
“That’s right. The Adbellos also make weapons, but each time, they need to consult with Oceanus and get permission.”
There was a weapon that was created in collaboration with the Navy, which was a private ship led by Noah.
“Then the lieutenant general is also a noble?”
“He is a very famous nobleman.”
“Better than that little kid’s house?”
Clare pointed to the tightly closed door of the classroom.
“A much greater nobleman.”
The Delat family, whose lawyer boasted with a dry mouth, were so noble that they did not dare even give a business card.
“Ho!”
The clever little lady quickly finished calculating the profit.
“From now on, I will call him brother-in-law!”
Oh my, Ash smiled bitterly.
“The lieutenant general is a great person even if he is not a nobleman.”
“How?”
“The lieutenant general is the second highest in command in the navy.”
“Better than my older sister?”
“Since the little master is his subordinate, of course, right?”
In addition, the captain of the navy was away for a long time.
The vacant position was temporarily taken over by Leto, the next post.
In other words, the highest ranking person in the current navy was Leto.
‘He looks like a really great person.’
Ash thought as she put Clare on the floor.
‘By the way, the person the little master was dating was Oceanus…?
In fact, Ash was quite shocked to find out that Noah’s ex-boyfriend was Leto.
Even after they dated, why did she date such a crazy dog again?
‘What would the big master say if she knew this?’
She wouldn’t do anything special if it were him, but Ash was still worried.
‘Maybe she knows?’
Come to think of it, that was more likely. She may have pretended not to know because it would be fun if she already knew everything.
‘…Whew.’
With that in mind, Ash wondered what the use of all this was.
It was more profitable to think about what to eat for breakfast tomorrow.
“Miss, what do you want for breakfast tomorrow?”
“Pancake! With boiled tuna mashed salad!”
“Then I will go to the market later.”
Again, this was a more profitable concern.
~*~
While Ash and Clare had a warm conversation.
“As expected, the Delat family is as great as its reputation.”
“…”
“It’s unusual, I knew it earlier. I really liked the guts to contact headquarters right before you got to the South.”
“…”
“And it’s even more enjoyable to see a familiar face in such an unexpected place.”
As he smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, Leto’s red eyes were gleaming sharply and notably.
“…”
And Sir Delat, who was receiving that gaze alone, could not even raise his head.
‘His temper…’
Noah secretly let out a sigh.
The situation was completely reversed when Leto revealed his name.
The Delat family’s lawyer was starting to get sick of it.
Sir Delat, who was arrogant and thought-provoking, looked carefully to see if he had noticed something strange just then.
And when he arrived at the school after being contacted by the teacher, Sir Delat’s expression was contorted to the point of pity.
‘I don’t know, though.’
Noah really liked Leto’s damn personality.
Only in this case.
‘By the way, that person…’
It was Sir Delat.
He had the appearance of a ‘nobleman’ that people often thought of.
Straight facial features, luxurious clothes, and strangely curled hair.
Even his hair was coated with serum.
Noah, who was slightly disgusted by it, looked straight at Leto’s head. He always slicked his hair back while on duty, and Noah always thought it was nice to see it straight.
“By the way, as far as I know, shouldn’t Sir Delat be at the naval headquarters by now?”
“Ah, that’s…”
“How come you arrived much later than us, who arrived from headquarters?”
“…”
“Then, a lawyer comes instead of you…”
The lawyer, who was still like a dead mouse, was startled.
“I understand.”
Leto, who leaned slightly closer to Sir Delat, whispered once more.
“You must have had a lot of fatigue because you were busy coming.”
Sir Delat’s back flinched. He couldn’t even lift his head, which was filled with contemplation.
Leto, who was looking at the figure, shrugged his shoulders.
“What’s the use of adults in children’s fights?”
Leto then turned to Noah.
“Right?”
“I feel the same way.”
But before that, Noah had to point out one thing clearly.
