I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 96

Without even thinking about why she felt this way about Carcel, she gathered her mana into her hand again.

“I will try again. Maybe I will succeed if I try.”

However, against her will, no matter how many times she tried, the gem broke again and again before it was completed.

Charlotte breathed out a little as she gathered her mana again, but Ahin stopped her.

“Miss, you might faint again. Stop doing that today and try again tomorrow.”

“But ….”

Wiping the sweat from her chin, Charlotte was forced to let go of the piercing pain she felt. And Ahin comforted her.

“However, Miss has the will to continue, so you will find a way soon. It must be difficult because you trained a lot, so today’s class will end here.”

“Yes.”

“Sister?”

Theo, who was sitting quietly in the corner playing with dolls, jumped off the sofa.

“Should I do that?”

The baby gently rubbed Charlotte’s belly with his little hand. Then the pain in her stomach subsided little by little.

She was very curious. Theo clearly didn’t know how to use magic, but nevertheless, he always gave Charlotte the magic she needed.

‘do you love me a lot ?’

Charlotte held Theo tightly with a warm feeling. Then she pressed her lips to his plump cheeks, and the child smiled happily.

“Sister, now play with Theo!”

“Really? What do you want to play ?”

“With carrots!”

“Shall we go to the field?”

Charlotte took Theo’s hand and walked out.

“Charlotte.”

As soon as I walked out the door, Charlotte’s shoulders trembled at the sound she heard. The name coming out of Carcel was still unfamiliar to her.

Charlotte tried to hide her nervousness as she approached Carcel, who was standing at the door.

“When did you come?”

“I came a while ago.”

Then Chase, who was standing behind him, shook his head. Hm, Charlotte looked at Carcel’s face and narrowed her eyes.

“Looks like you’ve been here for a while. Why didn’t you come in?”

“I can’t interrupt class….”

“Were you waiting for class to end?”

“correct.”

“You didn’t have to, but you can just knock when you come next time.”

“Understood .”

She smiled at Carcel and extended Theo’s hand to him.

“Theo, I think Brother came to play with Theo.”

“This ….”

Carcel hesitated uncomfortably and didn’t take Theo’s hand.

“Brother?”

A bewildered expression formed on Carcel’s face only after Theo appeared waving his hand in the air.

“Indeed, Charlotte, I’ve been waiting for you today.”

“Me and not Theo?”

“Yes, I have something to show you.”

“What?”

“What?”

Carcel muttered as Theo waved back and forth with Charlotte’s hand in chaps.

“Theo, this….”

Chase, who was in the back, approached Theo instead of Carcel, who was unable to speak.

“Young master, would you like to have a snack with me?”

“And Sister?”

“Sister has something to talk to Brother about, she’ll see you in a little while.”

Perhaps because of Danny, Chase used “Sister” and “Brother” normally, unlike Carcel.

“Okay.”

Theo pressed air into his cheeks and looked displeased.

However, after examining Carcel’s mood, he gently grabbed Chase’s hand. Normally, he would insist on staying with Charlotte.

“So, shall we go?”

“Theo wants to go see potatoes.”

“We’ll look at potatoes later, now we’ll have a snack.”

“Yes.”

Why are you so obsessed with snacks? Charlotte felt sorry for Theo who was so gloomy and tried to add a few words to Chase.

Afterward, Chase seduces Theo with chocolate.

‘Is it okay for him to love chocolate so much?’

Perhaps we need to educate him so that he does not follow anyone who gives him chocolate. It probably wouldn’t happen in the future, but they had to be careful.

While Charlotte was thinking about it, Carcel extended his hand to her.

“Let’s go.”

“Ah yes.”

Charlotte couldn’t ask where he was going because the look on his face was strangely serious, so she just followed him.

what do you want to show me so seriously?

However, contrary to expectations, the place Carcel went to was the greenhouse where Charlotte and Theo went to play every day.

“Why here….?”

Before Charlotte could finish her question, Carcel opened the greenhouse door.

As she followed him and stepped inside, Charlotte was speechless at the scene unfolding before her eyes. At the same time, the tip of her nose was shaking.

The vast fields of the Lannia flowers were in front of her eyes.

The field where little yellow flowers flutter in the wind in autumn, and where fathers used to play with their bored children during the harvest, is here in the Duchy of Heinst.

I took a deep breath through my nose to hold back the tears that were about to spill out without warning, and a familiar scent emerged. It was my hometown scent. Charlotte could not stop crying because of the smell.

She was someone who recalled memories just because of the smell.

Only because of the smell, Charlotte mistook it for Lannia’s estate.

Behind them are children running, and next to them are the villagers who are harvesting the crop, Lannia’s servants who help them with simple food, and her parents are watching the situation.

It was a lost scene.

Charlotte finally realized.

‘I loved Lannia’s estate more than I could have expected.’

Only three years. The new life, I thought, was not precious because it was short.

I thought it was okay, but I think I missed my hometown and my parents a lot.

Carcel didn’t feel uncomfortable seeing Charlotte cry. Just took out his white handkerchief. It was a handkerchief embroidered with nothing but the family crest.

Charlotte smiled shyly, wiping the messy corners of her eyes.

“Wasn’t it a good thing to see?”

“No not like that ….”

Words half swallowed. Carcel probably didn’t hear a thing because she was crying.

“Thank you, actually, I wanted to see this a lot.”

“I understand. Actually, I’d like to send you to visit Lannia’s house at least once, but I apologize, I can’t.”

Charlotte shook her head.

“No, I know for a fact that I haven’t been able to go there for a while. This is just enough. I liked it very much.”

Charlotte cried for a long time after that.

After she had stopped crying a little, she walked through a huge field of flowers, though they were smaller than Lannia’s field, and her fingertips gently brushed the fluttering petals.

Carcel watched her every move from up close. As if he couldn’t miss a single move, he didn’t think his gaze would move from Charlotte.

Charlotte’s hair sparkled in the winter sunlight streaming through the clear glass greenhouse.

Even in a greenhouse filled with yellow flowers, her golden hair stood out. It was also beautiful and sacred.

Carcel wondered how she would walk around the vast fields of the yellow-colored Lannia estate. What kind of faces does Charlotte show at that time?

Will she have a happier face than she does now? He longed to see her smiling face at the end while she carried no worries in the world.

If I could see that face, I thought I could do anything.

‘Next year, I will visit Lannia’s estate with Theo and Charlotte.’

Before then, I will exterminate everyone who targets Theo. Carcel squeezed his hand and vowed.

Unable to know what he was thinking, Charlotte fetched her skirt full of flowers and sat down at the table.

Carcel sat across from her and quietly watched Charlotte place the flowers on the table.

Unknowingly, Charlotte, who was humming and tying flowers, raised her head and looked at him.

“How did you know I loved this flower and how did I prepare for it?”

“Theo told me. You love the yellow flowers that grow on the Lannia estate.”

“Theo?”

Remember Charlotte Theo, who recently asked her what she liked?

I thought it was just a common question kids of that age ask, but it turns out this little kid had a plan.

And······.

“Did the duke ask him to ask me?”

Carcel avoided her gaze and put his hand on his neck.

“Yeah, anyway, was it rude?”

“Why is it rude?”

“You might be thinking I was running a background check on you…”

Charlotte forgot she was picking flowers, and laughed.

What kind of background investigation is this? It’s just a question anyone can ask. I would have answered the Duke himself if he had asked. Why did you have to ask Theo?”

“I thought it was a sensitive question, so I wanted to ask it carefully.”

“Next time, please ask directly. It’s better for the duke to ask directly.”

Charlotte smiled softly and tried to return the handkerchief to him, but when she realized the handkerchief was wet, she pulled it back.

“It’s dirty, so I’ll wash it and put it back.”

“Okay .”

“It is preposterous to say that this is in exchange for flowers, but since she has given me a gift, may I embroider this handkerchief and return it?”

“I would love that.”

Charlotte smiled brightly, and he followed her, smiling slightly.

“What type of embroidery do you like? By the way, there aren’t many designs I can embroider, so your options are limited.”

He looked at the yellow flower and gave his opinion without hesitation.

“I love yellow flowers.”

“But you already have two handkerchiefs embroidered with yellow flowers?”

“The more, the better.”
