Book I: Chapter 6

“It’s a beautiful day today, so I thought I’d take the lessons if you have time.”

“Of course I have time. But I don’t think I can right now. Not too long ago, I made a small mistake and caused a small commotion. So Father has banned me from going out.”

“Oh, I heard you broke the window while testing that new bow.….”

Hugo murmured as he pointed out. It seemed he was really disappointed. Seeing his sullen face, Harrieta patted him on the shoulder.

“It’s okay, it’s not as if we won’t have any more time. I’ll teach you everything you want as soon as the ban is lifted. Ah! I’ll sure teach you how to catch a rabbit with the bow you mentioned.”

“Really?”

Hugo’s complexion brightened up. He smiled broadly as if he didn’t just have a sullen look.

“You promised me. Don’t forget about it.”

“Ok, I got it. Don’t you trust me? Don’t worry.”

Seeing Hugo’s cute appearance requesting her like this, Harrieta couldn’t help but giggle. Once he got her answer, Hugo jumped with excitement and dashed out of the room.

He left the room with light steps, but stopped at the door and then looked back with an expression of contemplating something. As he stared at her fixedly, he suddenly called her.

“Sister.”

“Huh?”

“It’s great to be able to hang out with you again.”

Hugo grinned.

“It feels like we’re back to the old times.”

After adding her last words, he gave Harrieta a knowing glance and then left her room.

There were also voices of the coachman stopping the carriage and calming the horse.

The faces of the three people sitting at the table brightened. They all rushed out of the mansion without any further ado.

“Father!”

“Honey!”

Baodor, who was getting off the carriage, looked up and saw them. A warm smile spread around his eyes.
