The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 6.2
“Please wait a moment. We will arrange some time for such discussions later, so the adults, please go over there!”
Rex and Brad dispersed the adults who had gathered around me. The family butlers also helped, and somehow, only the children were left again.
“That surprised me.”
“Please don’t let your guard down. There are many people interested in the young lady after all.”
Rex ended up staying right next to me. Brad will be watching from a little farther away.
“To come to me instead of my brother…”
“Don’t forget that you look unnecessarily cute and that there is no one else in our country who has spirit with all attributes.”
What do you mean by unnecessary?
But I had indeed forgotten about my own appearance.
Huh ?
“What did you just say ?”
“Unnecessarily cute.”
“You’re so noisy. That’s not what I’m asking. Is it really just me ?”
“You didn’t know? Currently, the only person who has spirit with all attributes should be the young lady.”
This is bad. I’m drawing too much attention. Lately, I’ve had so much to do that I haven’t been checking Wiki-chan. No, I’ve been avoiding it.
“That’s amazing. There’s no one else with all four colors, right?”
“For now. But I’m sure many people will have it soon. Even Lady Iris can possess all attributes if she continues to use her magic and grow stronger.”
“I’ll do my best. So please take me as your maid.”
Wow, so that’s how it is. Even children are starting to make appeals, huh ?
“I want to be a guard!”
Huh? That came out of nowhere.
“Um….”
“I’m Harry. Harry Backland.”
Backland… if I’m not wrong… they were a knight, right ? Among the children, aren’t girls the ones that’s more mature ?
“I also got the sword spirit. So, I will become a knight.”
As he spoke, the palm that he spread was dyed with red light.
“How old are you, Sir Harry?”
“I’m four years old.”
Seriously, we’re the same age and he’s already that big. His palms are also large and have sword calluses.
“I’m going to be a guard too!”
“I want to be your friend!”
Now I was surrounded by children. Even Rex seemed unsure how to handle the situation. I seem to be quite popular with children. I feel like a daycare worker.
“Shall we have lunch over there ?”
“Yaaaay”
“Food!!”
Feeling sympathetic, two of my mother’s maids called out to the children and led them away. Rex let out a big sigh as he watched the children run off. ‘Thank you for your hard work’.
Though there were still people around striving to obtain spirits, only Iris and Harry remained by my side. They seemed unwilling to leave me. I wonder if these children truly intend to work under me
“Hey, you.”
Who is it ? Who’s the one who calls me ‘you’, who comes from the highest family background in this place ? I may return kindness with utmost warmth to those who treat me kindly, but I’ll return hostility about five times as much.
“At least say something. I’m calling out to you, you know.”
There stood a boy of about ten years old. He had short, dark green hair and a fierce gaze. His somewhat handsome appearance made him appear even more insolent.
“Are you, by any chance, calling out to me?”
“That’s right. Aren’t you cute? Let’s eat together over there.”
Are you hitting on a four-year-old child ! !
Moreover, the lines sound like an old man ! !
Although it’s being overlooked today, in principle, those of lower status aren’t allowed to address those of higher status. Even if the other party is a child, if the men of my family hear that I’ve been addressed so casually within my father’s castle, there will be consequences.
“Who are you ?”
“Don’t you know me? I’m Dennis, the eldest son of the Lord of the Horn region.”
I see. It’s my father who appointed that Lord of the Horn, isn’t it? I’ve heard that he is quite a capable person…
This is it, isn’t it ? The type to leave the children’s education entirely to his wife due to being busy with work.
“You, what’s your name?”
I don’t have a name to give you!
“Don’t you search for spirits?”
“I already have a sword spirit. It’s an earth sword spirit.”
“…Would you please try making it shine?”
“The sword spirit doesn’t shine.”
“Did you listen to the explanation before coming here?”
“You’re so noisy. You’re a woman, so you don’t know about sword spirits. Shut up.”
Uumm??, I’ve been holding back, but is it okay to punch this guy in the face right now ?
“The sword spirit can also shine, you know.”
Harry spoke from beside him. No matter how big he is, the physique of a four-year-old and a ten-year-old are completely different. But it’s amazing how he can talk to him without being afraid.
Rex is right next to me, ready to grab Dennis. Just because the other person is cocky, they won’t move unless I give them an order. If I were to command it, I think he would probably pick Dennis up right away and put him in the lake.
“There’s no way it can shine. Even my father has a sword spirit, and it doesn’t shine.”
Oh, the spill has reached the Lord of Horn too. So that means his father also doesn’t have a spirit. The child is spilling the beans.
“You’ve been rude to Lady Diadora since earlier. This person is the daughter of the Margrave.”
“Hmph. So this brat is the Margrave’s child, huh? What a pity, she’s so cute but of such lowly status.”
“Huh ?”
Ah, this guy misunderstands that margraves are the same as knights.
“We’re the Earls, you know!”
Ah, yeah. Earls are the most common, and there is a big difference between those at the top and those at the bottom. There are counts ranging from counts who have received large territories or hold important positions in the imperial palace to counts who cultivate the fields alongside their subjects.
Just like other ranks, even within the same rank, there can be a significant difference in power and wealth. We protect important bases, and because we have a navy and a border army, we are the top margraves and are treated the same as marquis.
“My mother said that the current Margrave is young and inexperienced, so he’s not good enough.”
Oh, it spilled again. This is just like when a kindergartener tells the teacher, “My mom and dad kiss each other every morning at the entrance!” Except the seriousness of the content is on a completely different level.
“Wow. Did she really say such a thing?”
“That’s because my father is more capable. She said being a Margrave doesn’t accomplish anything.”
“Hoo. As expected of someone who is said to be a capable person.”
“Of course. Our territory gathers plenty of taxes, so my mother is rich enough to alway buy new jewels.”
You shouldn’t use the taxes for your own household. What’s going on with the accounting books ?
“Rex, don’t get provoked.”
“I thought it would be a good idea to finish here in a more pleasant manner.”
When I warned him in a low voice, Rex said with an extremely refreshing smile. Yeah. People had gathered around us unnoticed. The whole family will be finished. His voice is just too loud.
“I’m still here, so you can go for your meal.”
“I told you to come with me, didn’t I?”
“I don’t want to.”
“What did you say?”
“I don’t want to talk to someone who insults my father. Goodbye.”
“You’re so cocky!”
I couldn’t tell if he was trying to grab me or punch me. The moment Dennis raised his arm, Harry reached out and grabbed it, Iris let out a scream, Rex stepped in front of me to protect me, and then…
(“Is this child your enemy ?”)
(“Can I take care of it ?”)
The fire and water lights that floated above my head disappeared, and in their place was a gigantic wolf-like Fenrir whose entire body was covered in flame fur, and a dragon with an Eastern design, where water-like blue light flowed from its head to the tip of its tail.
“Huh? Um… you guys…”
(“What the, you don’t know ?”)
(“We’ve been by your side since you were a baby.”)
They really are spirits of fire and water after all. The spirits of wind and earth that I recently acquired are still just round lights. But it seems they are also trying to protect me, as they quiver and tremble between Dennis and me.
“When spirits grow up, they become able to communicate ?”
(“That’s right.”)
“Do they take on such forms?”
(“It can be different for each one.”)
(“They can also take on a humanoid form.”)
Wait, wait, wait !!
“Diadora ! What happened !!”
“Father, it seems that spirits can also take on a humanoid form as they grow!!”
“Whoa!”
“I used to bring the spirits into the bathroom when I took a bath ! I was seen !!”
I didn’t think they would have such clear consciousness, even if they have emotions. Let alone becoming humanoid, you should have told me !
“But they’re my spirits, so please don’t cut them off.”
Father, please don’t draw your sword!!
