he maid, he was wearing a robe just like Elena.

It was a child-sized robe.
However, because of Lexion’s short stature, the ends of it dragged to the floor.

The smile on Elena’s lips did not diminish from his cute appearance.

‘I was just going to buy the ingredients and come back,’ she thought.
‘Should I take Lexion?’

She pondered for a moment.

These days, Killian did not touch Lexion at all.

Elena didn’t know if it was because of the Duke of Halos’ orders, or if he was simply busy.

Thanks to that, Lexion became a lot brighter, and he seemed more at ease.

“Okay.
But we’re not going to be on the market for long.
Will that be alright with you?”

Elena asked, gently holding Lexion’s hand.

Then the child’s eyes twinkled like a puppy.

“Yes!”

He looked as if he was delighted just going out with Elena.

After the decision of having Lexion accompany her, the butler returned with two knights.

When Elena informed the butler that she was going out with Lexion, he hurried to the Duke of Halos.

Fortunately, the Duke willingly allowed Lexion to go out.

There was no one else; only Lexion was with Elena.

Meanwhile, the knights politely greeted Elena and Lexion and introduced themselves.

The brown-haired knight was Tony, and the black-haired knight was Max.

“Are you Cain’s daughter? I heard a lot.”

“You look a lot like Cain.”

Cain Lespel.

The one the knights were talking about was Elena’s father.

Unlike her parents in her previous life – who didn’t even remember her anymore – her father, always cared for her.

Before memories of her previous life came to mind, Elena followed her father very well.

So, hearing his name from those who lived in the Knights Templar with her father, her heart was moved.

“Yes.
Nice to meet you.
I am Elena Lespel.”

Tony and Max were as sweet as her father.

They saw Cain as a hero.

Although Cain was only a regular knight, his courage remained in the hearts of the knights.

After a short greeting, Elena and Lexion left the mansion with the knights.

In front of the mansion, there was a carriage; not a carriage engraved with the pattern of the Duke of Halos, but a common carriage.

It was Elena’s request that she didn’t want to be noticed.

She was escorted by the knights and climbed into the carriage, and shortly thereafter the carriage moved.

On the outside, it looked like a carriage used by commoners, but on the inside it was different.

It was a carriage used by Duke Halos to inspect the territory, so the ride was more comfortable.

Elena looked out the window.

It was spectacular to see the warm sunlight illuminating the garden.

And Lexion, who sat across from her, was watching.

‘He really looks like an adult.’

When Elena first saw him, she thought he was just a beautiful person.

But when she saved him from his brother.

She felt like the strongest person in the world.

Although they were only four years apart, Elena always felt like an adult.

Besides, the expression he would make every time he met her…

Thump, thump.

Lexion placed a small hand on his chest.

It was a strange feeling he had never felt before.

The inside of his chest tickled.

“Lexion?”

At the child’s actions, Elena looked at Lexion with concern.

“What’s wrong? Are you sick?”

Lexion, who raised his head at the sound of him being called, couldn’t continue his thoughts.

His musing of Elena who treated him with respect, and the sunlight shining on her.
All of them felt like a fantasy.

There was silence for a while between the two.

It was Lexion who broke the silence.

“No.
It’s okay.”

Lexion, as he had always done, curled his eyebrows and smiled.

* * *

The carriage was parked in a sparsely populated alley near the market.

Elena and Lexion adjusted their robes again and started walking.

The knights, who followed the two, walked from them from a distance as far as possible so as not to be seen.

On the first outing, Elena was excited.

‘Even though it’s just a commoners market, I’m excited.’

She walked along the alley, holding Lexion’s hand.

‘By the way… Lexion…it was a little strange in the carriage.’

The sight of the child looking up at her with his hand near his chest made Elena feel like he was an adult for a moment.

But he soon returned to his original demeanor, as if he had always been.

‘I must have misunderstood.’

Elena shook her head and looked straight ahead.

As they left the alley, they saw a crowd of people.

“The fish is very fresh today!”

“I want some candy!”

“Hey!”

Vendors selling goods, children running around laughing, and women walking around busily.

When they entered the marketplace, Elena felt like she was in another world.

‘I’ve only been living in a quiet mansion.’

She smiled and gazed at Lexion.

Lexion had his eyes opened wide, admiring everything he sees.

“Wow….”

“Lexion, is this your first time coming to the market?”

“Yes! There are a lot of people.”

The child enthusiastically looked around, nodding his head.

Elena smiled happily, took the child’s hand, and headed into the market.
