Chapter 98




‘……Oh my. How did you notice, Cedric, you’re smarter than I thought! You found out about my greeting.’
But, have I ever praised Cedric for being cool?
Looking back, I don’t think there’s ever been such a thing.
I’ve never said he was great.
If Cedric’s memory seems to be distorted as it should be, maybe it’s because of his mood…
“Well… it’s true that Sir Ceyden is cool. It’s not wrong to say cool things are cool… right?”
I laughed haha
and froze the end of my words.
I was just telling the truth.
But Cedric was more offended.
“What’s cool about eldest brother? If he wears a knight uniform, everything looks great. I look great when I wear that too!”
“……”
I didn’t want to show my heart as much as possible, but it was difficult to hide the disbelief that was spreading deep in my heart.
Noticing my inner feelings, Cedric put both hands on his waist and said with a snort as if a promise.
“Haaa… I’ve said this before, but you won’t believe what I’m saying, right? Alright. I can show you.”
“Yes? Yes?”
Cedric went up the stairs to the second floor without hesitation, with a firm face.
Suddenly, I had to run up the stairs at a brisk pace after Cedric.
“Heuk, heuk. Ah, out of breath…”
When I finally reached the second floor, I grabbed the railing and took a rough breath.
Does Cedric think that other people will be as strong as he is?
Hooo.
And then I saw Cedric going into one room.
Then he pulled his head back again, looked at me and shouted.
“Wait at this door! I’ll show you how cool I am.”
***
The room Cedric entered was the dressing room.
In my heart, I wanted to sit down, but because of the dignity of a guest, I was standing in front of the door with an upright posture.
“No, Young Master! Why the hell are you asking me to take that uniform off all of a sudden? It’s dusty. It’s not possible!”
“You can just dust it off with a duster! And it can’t be without the clothes. I must wear it! I need to show it!”
Hey, I never asked you to show me…
“Didn’t I say that it is only worn on important occasions such as imperial ceremonies? Besides, we usually apply starch to keep the collars upright. Do you want to bleed from being stabbed in the collar?”
“My skin is like steel! Do not worry! And today is one of those important days, right?”
Quarrel. Quarrel.
Bicker. Bicker.
Haa, my leg hurts…’
The longer the two of them quarreled, the more my ears hurt and my legs that were standing hurt.
Fortunately, it seemed that the conclusion was reached before less than five minutes had elapsed.
Overhearing it, the fight seemed to have ended with Cedric’s victory.
About 10 minutes later, Cedric opened the door with a triumphant expression and came out.
“Ta-da! How is it? Isn’t it cool? You can’t breathe because it’s cool right?”
His shoulder and bridge of the nose looked tight with strength.
Cedric shrugs his shoulders and smiles narcissistically.
To be honest, it feels more sloppy than cool…
“Well, I think you buttoned up your shirt too much. Haha.”
I told Cedric carefully.
Perhaps it must have been that he wore it in haste without the help of a servant, and the shirt hem was literally pushed back.
Cedric’s expression hardened as I pointed out that fact.
“……But it’s still nice. Yes. It’s overwhelmingly cool.”
Immediately I put my thumbs up to not offend Cedric.
Cedric then smiled triumphantly.
“Right? Isn’t it cool? It’s like a shirt button, so you can’t see it when I hide it in my jacket. Here, look at this, I’m better right?”
I nodded and nodded.
Actually, I came here to see Polly, but I don’t know how I got to see Cedric’s fashion show.
“More than that, let’s go see Polly.”
“Ah. right. Come to think of it, I forgot to show Polly. Good. Let’s go.”
And Cedric led me through the hallway.
And after about 30 seconds, a servant ran out of the dressing room and shouted.
“Young master! Didn’t you say you’re going to wear it for a while and change again! Then where are you going?”
“I’m only going to my room for a second, what are you so worried about? I can wear it clean.”
“Haaa… You have to be back soon. For sure.”
In the end, it was the servant’s defeat.
No matter how much I think about it, it’s not something to wear around the house, but I can’t help it because Cedric likes it so much.
Anyway, we headed to Cedric’s room.
Right next to the bedroom, there was a passage leading to the room decorated for Polly.
“Polly! Long time no see. How are you?”
When I went there, Polly, who had grown steadily, was sitting there.
Obviously, a few months ago, it was a baby bird that was small enough to fit in the palm of the hand, but now it has grown to the size of a human head.
“Hello, Emir, long time no see.”
“……”
“Long time no see. How are you?”
Polly’s greetings made me stop by surprise.
Of course, I knew that magical beast could speak human language.
But it remembers me, who only sees me for a while!
“You remember me, Polly?”
“Of course I remember. You are the master’s friend. Emir.”
