Matchmaking Baby Sister - Chapter 36

Chapter 36

TL: Zimmings

‘Are they really fighting in front of me right now?’

I looked at Uncle Tessa and Alexander, who were confronting each other in front of me, with confused eyes.

‘No, Tessa is the emperor, so does it make sense for Alexander to treat him like that?’

And in the meantime, what about the uncle who wanted to kill Alexander?

‘Why is everyone doing this!’

I just felt sorry for Sika. I thought he almost died of starvation in the abandoned palace, so I had to save him.

‘But is that such a big mistake?’

If a person is in danger, of course we should save them. If we think they’re going to die, we should help them.

‘But he wants to kill him?’

The moment I thought about it, something in my mind suddenly burst out.

“Papa, I hate you!!”

I screamed out loud. Tears welled up spontaneously in my eyes.

‘How could this be?’

To give orders like that without ever hearing what I was thinking of saving Sika.

“Ariel…”

Still, I could hear his voice, Tessa turned to look at me.

At that moment, Alexander, who was looking at Tessa like he was crazy, caught my eye.

‘He’s going to make him angry again?!’

Although Tessa has recovered, Alexander’s forearm still has a blue aura.

In anger, the tears welled up and I shouted at Alexander as well.

“I hate you too! I hate you!”

“Princess… … .”

Alexander’s gaze returned to me, who had been staring at Tessa as if he found my words absurd. The aura disappeared from Alexander’s arm.

“Huh!!”

Seeing those stupid faces made me even more angry. But as an angry little baby and unable to do anything, I cried.

“Huwaaa!!!”

My face turned red and I cried out. Alexander, who was crouching, hurried up in front of me. Then he said,

“Oh, don’t cry.”

What? Have you ever seen a child stop crying with those words?!

I hugged Lucinda tightly with both hands and wept.

“Mama lwike! I hate them! I hate them all!”

“No, how can you say hate so clearly?”

Alexander muttered as if it were nonsense. It made me even more angry and cried.

“Hey!!”

Lucinda hugged me as I cried. I rubbed my eyes and shouted.

“You’re bad. Bad!”

“It’s His Majesty’s fault, isn’t it?”

“What?”

I cried, but the two continued to quarrel. Eventually my aunt was angry.

“What are the grown-ups doing in front of such a small child!!”

Lucinda screamed.

Lucinda was always quiet and docile, but once she got angry, she didn’t hesitate. She took a cushion and then hurled it at the two men.

“How could you fight like that! What are you talking about in front of a baby?!”

“Hiccup!”

I was so startled that I stopped crying and hiccuped. Lucinda looked at my eyes still with tears in them, and finally gave one final shout.

“Hurry up and shake hands, promise to get along!”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Alexander and Tessa looked at each other with very puzzled expressions. It was the same for me as well.

‘Shake hands and say let’s get along?’

This isn’t something I would say to such big men, but maybe it’s a way of reconciliation for children like me.

It was clear that Tessa and Alexander were trembling at the same thought.

“These people…”

But the problem is that Lucinda is so serious! At this rate, I didn’t think it would stop until they reconciled, so I forcibly cried.

“Huwaa…”

When I let out a cry, Alexander and Tessa flinched.

‘Oh, this works.’

I squeezed my voice a little more pathetically.

“Huwaa, scawed, scawed.”

“Did you hear her? Can’t you do it?”

At the urging of me and Lucinda, the two held hands with weird expressions.

“I was reckless, Your Majesty. Please punish me.”

“……”

Alexander lowered his head sadly but Tessa still had a stiff face.

‘Well, Uncle Tessa is the emperor. The emperor cannot bow his head recklessly.’

In fact, Tessa was holding his temper for me.

Lucinda, who was looking at Tessa, slowly opened her lips.

“I think His Majesty needs some time to talk with Ariel. Please leave for a moment, Sir Alexander.”

“Yed…”

Alexander paused for a moment, then quietly left the room. Lucinda, who was holding me in her arms, slowly walked towards Tessa.

“It’s today, Your Majesty.”

“Abu?”

What day is today? My birthday?

As I look at her with bright eyes…

She suddenly handed me over to Tessa!

“Mama!!”

“Hug her, Your Majesty.”

Even though I didn’t want to go, Lucinda didn’t move a bit and held me out to Tessa.

Tessa, who had been staring at me for a moment with a hardened face, shook his head.

“I can’t.”

“Your Majesty.”

“Huh!”

I snorted and pouted my lips.

‘Look, Tessa says he doesn’t want to hug me either. So don’t give me to him.’

Looking at Lucinda with such an intention in mind, Lucinda nodded as if she had fully understood what I meant. Then, suddenly, the hand that was holding me was released!

“Oh my goodness! My hands are weak!”

“Abu?!”

What is this!

My body suddenly fell. But before I could scream, a soft, large hand grabbed me.

“Baroness…”

“You grabbed her, Your Majesty! Thank you so much. Had it not been for His Majesty, it would have been a disaster.”

“You’re really… … .”

I couldn’t keep up with the flow of the conversation and just blinked blankly.

‘Lucinda gave me to Tessa? Pretending to drop me?’

No, when did she become so naughty? She was the kind of person who used these tricks?

“Didn’t I say I couldn’t do it?”

“But the way you are holding it now is very natural. Even Ariel doesn’t cry.”

Last time, hus was uncomfortable but now it is as stable as if Alexander holding me.

‘Also, it feels warm…’

I smiled mischievously as I became mushy like glutinous rice cakes because of the warmth. Then, Tessa’s eyes met mine.

‘Light green eyes.’

It was a beautiful color like a bud that had just sprouted. I blinked my eyes slowly.

‘It looked just like mine.’

Those eyes were proof that Tessa and I were family, Lloyd and Tessa were brothers, just as I am Lloyd’s daughter.

‘I think I need to understand him as a person.’

It seems that there were many times when I was obsessed with the original. I thought Tessa was originally that kind of person, and in the original story, he was a very mean person.

But only now did I realize that he’s alive and is in front of me.

Seeing us facing each other as if we were seeing each other for the first time, Lucinda spoke in a warm tone.

“Your Majesty, Eryl understands adults well. So you can’t just tell her to listen to you because she’s just a child.”

Yes. I have short limbs, but I’m not an ordinary baby! I keep all the harsh words you said today in my heart.

‘……But is there anything I can do without saying it?’

Watching him fight Alexander earlier, he seems really strong.

My Pupu had a one in a million chance to defeat him, and even though it was a tiger it was unlikely that it would win against Tessa.

‘Heh, I’ll just curse him every day. I hope a thick book falls on your toes!’

When I was vowing to get revenge. Lucinda smiled brightly.

“Your Majesty cares deeply for Ariel. Please express your feelings.”

‘Tessa? To me?’

I couldn’t help but be surprised by that statement. I narrowed my eyes and looked at Lucinda.

‘Don’t you think my aunt is too nice? She had always treated Tessa sincerely.’

But Tessa was unexpectedly quiet.

“… … .”

I was embarrassed by Tessa’s silence.

No way?

“Abubu?”

I tugged at the hem of Tessa’s shirt. Lucinda urged Tessa with a soft smile.

“Come on.”

Was it because Lucinda urged him? Tessa’s gaze caught my eye.

“Ariel.”

The voice calling my name gave me chills down my spine. I looked at him, forgetting to breathe.

He sighed.

“I couldn’t do it.”

“Huh?!”

What do you want to say? How can you keep hesitating!

‘After all, Aunt Lucinda is too nice to him!’

I protested and reached out to Lucinda. Lucinda called for Tessa in a slightly sad tone.

“Your Majesty.”

At Lucinda’s soft call, Tessa frowned. But a much more sincere conversation flowed out than before.

“It is unlikely that Raphael would have taken the child without any motive. He’s trying to make him be indebted to them. I put Alexander by your side because he is the best, but don’t trust Raphael.”

Tessa’s lips closed for a moment, then opened again slowly. A quiet voice came out.

“I knew it well because I was in that situation.”

“… … Papa.”

At Tessa’s words, I paused for a moment.

‘It was like that… … ?’

It seems that I know very well about Tessa, but the truth is that I don’t know the details. Because the original story barely describes Tessa’s childhood.

Sadness were seen in his eyes.

‘He lived a harsh life.’

So he may have concluded that it would be better to kill him now.

Or never ever met me again.

‘It’s because he’s worried about me.’

Even so, Sika was still a very young child. I shook my head.

“But Sika nice.”

How could it be a sin to be born? Madame Ricardo, who is tormenting the child, is the bad person!

And above all else!

“Sika.”

Sika is so beautiful. Looking at the red eyes that mysteriously glowed in accordance with the light, I felt like I was naturally enchanted. Ans think about his thick brown hair?

‘There is no such thing as a bad man who looks pretty when he cries.’

Besides, he wiped away my tears and hugged me too.

‘Sika is nice. Sika will never harm me. And he will be able to be happy without getting caught up in misfortune.’

With baseless belief, I nodded.

Tessa, who was looking at me like that burst into laughter.

“Why do you look so much like your father?”

“Abu?”

I opened my eyes and stiffened. Tessa’s face was smiling awkwardly.

‘Handsome. Ah I think I’m obsessed with his face.’

When I wiped the saliva that was about to drip with the back of my hand. Tessa hardened as if she had never laughed, then spoke again in a harsh tone.

“I will not kill him because of your request. But even if that’s the case, I’m going to throw him away.”

“Abu!”

Forget what I said before!
