I Unintentionally Cured The Grand Duke’s Insomnia - Chapter 33
“I’ve to go find sister Adelia.”
While Adelia and Cain followed Jo Malone to the Winder’s mansion, located in the innermost part of town, Edgar, startled by Enni’s words, approached her after pacing around the open gate for a long time.
“What…? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Are you going to rescue her?”
“It must be a trap. None of the villagers who followed him up until now have returned.”
Stomping her feet, Enni added her words.
Ed licked his lips for a moment, then quickly turned his head and spoke, “She didn’t go alone, anyway. She went with the scary-looking guy who came with her, so he’ll take care of it.”
“….”
“It’s something we don’t have to worry about.”
“Brother Ed!”
“They’re strangers, not like our villagers!”
“….”
“So, don’t say nonsense like you have to go rescue them. Stop and just come home.”
Saying so, Ed turned towards the door, pretending not to notice Enni, who was staring at him. Though as soon as he stepped away, something hit Ed in the back of the head and fell.
“Akk!”
At that, Edgar touched the back of his head and turned around behind him, where he felt the heavy pain.
There, breathing heavily, Enni was glaring at him.
“Enni! What is this—!”
“Coward!”
“What?”
“Brother Ed is a coward and an idiot!”
It seems that the culprit who hit him in the back was his little sister. A bag of jerky that Adelia had given her was tossed around his feet.
Ed frowned as he glanced at the jerky scattered on the floor.
“Whatever. If you don’t go, I’ll go alone.”
Before he could even comprehend her angry, stinging words, Enni turned around and headed for the gate. Seeing his sister moving her steps as though she was going to attack the man’s mansion, Ed hurriedly ran and blocked her way.
“Don’t say nonsense, Enni! What are kids like us going to do there?!”
Despite her sharp gaze, Ed stopped her with his arms wide open like he would never let her pass. Even though he stood in her way, Enni glared at him and opened his mouth.
“So, did you just leave Noya behind when he was kidnapped?”
“…What?”
“The day brother Noya was kidnapped, you were there, too.”
As if shocked by Enni’s words, Ed flinched back.
She then grabbed his hem and shouted, “I knew it. The fact that you couldn’t help because you were afraid when brother Noya was kidnapped, and that you regret it every day!”
“Enni.”
“So, let’s help them this time, okay…? Maybe, brother Noya is still in that mansion!”

Ed’s hand trembled at Enni’s words. He hurriedly covered her mouth, as if trying to stop the screams that were about to leak out of her mouth.
At that, she clung to him like that and spoke quickly.
“You know that the mansion that sister Adelia went to had dozens of people from that man!”
“….”
“We have to help, brother. She must be waiting for our help.”
Tears welled up in Enni’s big eyes as she uttered that. Ed, who was looking at his sister like that, scratched his head.
“Still, we can’t do that on our own. It’s dangerous!”
“Brother!”
“We’re still young, so if we go without any preparation, we may need help instead of helping those people.”
“….”
“Don’t say no. You, too, were hiding behind Adelia when that man came to get us.”
At his words, Enni flinched and bit her lips.
Ed glanced at her for a moment, then suddenly remembered the conversation the two had had in his mind.
〈 Wait, Your Highness the Grand Duke… 〉
〈 It’s been a while, Baron Hedwig Jo Malone. 〉
The terrifying but handsome young man who had come with Adelia seemed relaxed even in front of the goatee man. However, on the contrary, the bad guy looked like he was terrified of him… as though she must have seen the devil.
Perhaps, the young man was higher than the goatee? For example… the Emperor’s subordinates.
‘Maybe, he could help our village…?’
…Does that mean that he does not have to lose his family anymore?
Ed, who had been thinking up to that point, grabbed Enni’s hand, which was holding the hem of his shirt.
“First, let’s ask the villagers to let them help us.”
“Will the villagers help us?”
“They’ll help us, maybe.”
Seeing Enni gazing at him worriedly, Edgar carefully stroked her hair. Unexpectedly, there was a playful smile on his face.
“If I say we can get that goatee beard man out of our town, they’ll be happy to help.”

“Eli, you son of a…!”
I managed to hold in the swearing that ran up to the tip of my neck.
When I cursed at the dog in a situation where I became a dog, it felt like I was spitting in my own face. Below my gaze, I could see tiny paws and a fluttering tail. The white hair, which closely resembled the color of my hair, turned a pale pink color as the sunlight poured in through the window.
Frustration flooded in at the sight too vivid to believe it was a dream.
