I Tamed the Male Lead’s Father - Chapter 12.1

The response to the prepared greeting consisted of the word “cute.”

 

Lili didn’t know how to respond, so she just blinked.

 

Meanwhile, Devoir strode towards her, who was standing still.

 

Then he bent and scooped Riri into his arms and placed her on a high chair designed for adults.

 

“Riri, you’re so tiny!”

 

Ar said, twinkling his eyes.

 

Agnos suppressed his breath in rage and yelled as he discreetly observed Devoir’s antics.

 

“Presumptuous!” -Agnos

 

“But the chair is high for Lili!”

 

At Ar’s counterattack, Agnos belatedly looked at the chair.

 

Indeed, the chairs were not designed considering the children’s height.

 

It was due to the extensive lineage of the Ardellos family.

 

Devoir could easily leap up and down no matter how huge his chair was, but Lily probably couldn’t.

 

Agnos also feels Devoir struggled to get to the chair.

 

Agnos hardened his expression, having been pondering up until this point.

 

He gave the order in a solemn voice.

 

“Call the craftsmen right now! Make children’s furniture!”

 

“Yes, my lord.”

 

The servant in waiting bowed deeply and left the dining room.

 

Agnos couldn’t get away from his frustration until the meal was served and Devoir and Lily chatted.

 

‘I don’t deserve to adopt Lili.’ -Agnos.

 

While he was in deep despair, Devoir had already completed the underlying work.

 

Devoir, knowing the answer, deliberately asked Lili in a loud voice.

 

“Riri, are we going to marry in the future?”

 

When asked by Ar, Riri nodded without hesitation.

 

“Yeah. Lili is marrying Ar.”

 

In response to Lili’s answer, Agnos swallowed his tears and sliced ​​the steak.

 

It was the toughest, tasteless steak he had eaten since he was born.

Lily’s POV

 

The adoption case was postponed because of a trivial incident.

 

I didn’t expect the two of them to make such a bet, but it went very well with the situation.

 

On the contrary, I would be grateful if it was resolved like this.

 

What if things got out of control?

 

‘A sighed flew from my mouth.’

 

It was then that I had peace of mind.

 

Maybe I was fatigued because of so many things revolving in my mind.

 

I couldn’t sleep well and spent half a day holding on to it.

 

However, my room was not ready yet, so there was no space to lie down.

 

The Lord had decided to move his residence to the main castle due to safety concerns.

 

‘I’m tired, and I want to lie down. Whoa.’

 

A yawn flowed out subconsciously.

 

Looking at Ar with sleepy eyes, he turned to me.

 

Then he looked at my complexion and asked.

 

“Riri, are you sleepy?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Then, would you like to sleep on my shoulder?”

 

“On your shoulder?” -Riri

 

I just blinked, wondering what he meant.

 

Arga nodded his head with confidence.

 

“Yeah! I’ll also carry you up when the bedroom is ready!”

 

“No, it’s fine.”

 

“But are you sleepy?” -Ar.

 

“Yes! But I can handle it.”

 

Whatever it was, it was impossible for Devoir to carry a six-year-old kid.

 

As I shook my head, Devoir put on a sullen expression.

 

“No way. What are you trying to do?”

 

I felt suffocated. It felt like something was about to happen.

 

As expected, Ar pursed his lips as if he was about to say something.

 

“No, I will carry you, Riri!”

 

“As I said, it’s all right.” – said Riri.

 

“No! I want to carry you on my back!”

 

Whew, there is no end to this argument. If this is the case, eventually, I have to let Devoir do whatever he wants.

 

Just in time, Jien, who came from afar like a savior, waved at me.

 

“Lily! Your bedroom is ready!”

 

“Ah, thank you. Jien!”

 

I smiled brightly at Jien.

 

Because I know she’s been struggling to get the bedroom ready for me.

 

But Devoir’s expression looked somewhat sullen.

 

It was time to tilt my head in wonder.

 

A muffled voice came out of Devoir’s mouth.

 

“Will Lili live in a separate room?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“You don’t want to sleep with me?”

 

A shadow fell on Devoir’s face.

 

I wondered why he was so sad but was it for that Assination attempt?

 

I don’t know how to console him.

 

‘Still, I don’t think the assassin’s intrusion caused trauma or anything.’

 

Fortunately, Devoir is also mentally strong.

 

Also, I am proud of him. He brushed it off after going through terrible things as if nothing happened.

 

I thought he was a childish fellow, but he’s grown fast.

 

I was so pleased with Devoir that I decided to reward him.

 

I said in a cheerful voice.

 

“No, you can sleep with me.”

 

“Really?”

 

“I think the Lord will allow it too.”

 

Devoir’s eyes widened at my words.

 

Then he looked at me and asked again.

 

“…? Do you honestly think so?”

 

“Yeah, we used to sleep together.”

 

Devoir nodded eagerly at my words.

 

He was just so cute, so I burst out laughing.

 

“Why Were you worried about that?”

 

“Hmph! It’s not!”

 

“Isn’t it? I thought you were worried!”

 

“No! Riri is a fool!”

 

After saying those words, Devoir ran away.

 

But, after a while, he stopped and hesitated, then came back to me.

 

Then he opened his eyes and asked again.

 

“Really? Then you’ll keep sharing the room with me?”

 

“Well, yes.”

 

“For Real?!”

 

“Yeah.”

 

In response to my reply, Devoir quickly grabbed and hugged me.

 

A smile bloomed on his face as he hugged me tightly.

 

‘Is he like sleeping with me?’

 

I also laughed because I thought Devoir was still like a child.

 

Haha, he became so childish.

 

That’s because he’s only six years old.
