The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads - Chapter 258

My parents wake up early, close to dawn, and finish eating, so it’s hard to see them at mealtime.

But there were times, like today, when the two of you enjoyed a late breakfast once a month.

Whenever that happens, we all get together and have a meal.

“Oh, my daughter and son-in-law are here.”

“Hello. Good morning!”

Jake gave me a grin and before I knew it, he greeted my parents in a dignified manner.

“Hoho, yes. Good morning.”

In fact, I was a little awkward dining with my parents.

“Come on, Mir. Eat this too.”

The reason was not anything else, but somehow I was very concerned about my parents’ eyes who were happy to see Jake, who took care of me warmly as usual.

‘Ah, it’s good, but it’s definitely better than anything else…… But somehow embarrassing! Both of you are looking at us with such admiration!’

Of course, my parents have been watching Jake since he was very young.

That’s why they looked at Jake more like the son of an old friend than their son-in-law.

Well, it was unavoidable.

‘But this embarrassing feeling isn’t bad either.’

I blushed very slightly as I ate the piece of meat Jake had chopped up.

In my heart, I have a wish that this peaceful and strangely happy daily life will continue for a long time.

In fact, there were several similar situations when I was staying at the Duke Theion’s mansion.

Since the Duke’s residence had a slightly larger mansion than the Marquis’ residence, the entire building became our couple’s space.

And the backyard of the Duke’s residence.

The small greenhouse.

The greenhouse, tended by Duchess Theion, who is now my mother-in-law, is always warm.

I visited the greenhouse several times to see if there was anything I could do to help.

However, since a few years ago, most of the work in the greenhouse had been magically automated, so there was nothing for me to work with.

“My lovely bird, has Mir come?”

Instead, when I visited the greenhouse, Duchess Theion would sit me down and bring me desserts made from seasonal fruits.

“Thank you for your hospitality. Wow, more than that, this tea is really good!”

I was amazed at the taste of the light green tea I had never seen before, and the Duchess whispered to me the identity of the tea.

“That’s tea made from the fruit of a tree that only blooms once every ten years.”

“Oh my God, really?”

No wonder it was precious and delicious.

Along with that feeling, I was worried that if I could eat such a precious thing by myself.

Did my thoughts even show on my face? The Duchess added with a chuckle.

“It’s a secret, but I haven’t given my husband and Jake tea this year yet. You are the first.”

“…… !”

I widened my eyes wide at the fact I didn’t know, and she replied with a small shake of her head.

“It’s okay, Mir. Darling, all you have to do is eat and drink. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Apparently, the Duchess seems to have a hobby of feeding me delicious food.

Time passed after that, and before we knew it, we both became the heads of our respective families.

Before I knew it, Jake and I had two children.

They were fraternal twins, and we named them Reina and Redis, respectively.

Reina and Redis have both turned 6 years old and are attending kindergarten.

By the way, it was the same ‘Imperial Kindergarten’ I went to as a child.

Originally, it was supposed to disappear after I graduated, but it somehow came back to life and is now a prestigious kindergarten for children from noble families.

Of course, it wasn’t a kindergarten run by a small number of people like when I was in school.

The building was also newly built and bigger, and now there are close to 100 children in all grades.

‘Just as Ninaina wanted in the past, it’s really become a small academy.’

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the dream of all young children is to make friends while attending this Imperial Kindergarten.

‘Rather than that, Reina, Redis. It seems like both of them were born just yesterday, but they’ve grown up like this and are attending kindergarten.’

It’s been a long time since both Jake and I didn’t have an afternoon schedule, so today we picked up the kids ourselves instead of their nanny.

As I looked at the front view of the kindergarten, which looked a little out of date, I fell into memories.

“Mom! Dad!”

Just in time, the kindergarten door opened and Reina and Redis called out to us and ran out.

‘Oh, it must have been a secret that we came to pick them up! How did they find out?’

The plan to surprise the two children was completely blown away.

However, despite the surprise and regret for a while, Jake and I smiled brightly and prepared to welcome the children.

“Wow! I will be in Mom’s arms!”

“Then I’m in Dad’s arms!”

Reina and Redis rushed like they were competing and leaped into our arms.

Jake and I asked as we headed for the carriage with the children in our arms.

“Reina! Redis! How was kindergarten? Did you have fun today?”

“Yes! It was so much fun! The best!”

Normally, when they returned from kindergarten, they were full of energy because they were excitedly hanging out with their friends.

‘But it seems that the tension is especially high today?’

Somehow, I became curious about the children’s daily routine. I asked with my eyes wide open.

“Oh, really? What happened that made it the most fun?”

Then Reina shouted, pretending to swing her arms like her sword.

“Today, I learned swordsmanship! With Lord Cedric! No, no. Today, it was Teacher Cedric, not Lord Cedric!”

“What? Oh, I see…… Was today’s Sir Cedric’s day lesson?”

I only remembered it later.

For two weeks, we invited some special people to be the daily teachers of kindergarten children.

Among them, Cedric had also decided to come as a swordsmanship teacher.

‘That must have been today.’

Just in time, Redis took out a small wooden sword the size of his forearm from his bag and proudly showed it to me.

“Look at this, Mom! This is the wooden sword that Teacher Cedric gave me.”

“Wooden sword?Ooh my god, how cool? It’s a sword that really suits our Redis.”

When I praised Redis, Reina raised her hand and said, “I won’t lose too.”

“Me too, I got it! Teacher Cedric praised me for holding the sword the best!”

“Wow, really? Our Reina, maybe you have a talent for swords?”

When I clapped my hands, Reina exclaimed with pride.

“Yes! I want to become a knight later. I will become a very cool knight and protect Mom, Dad, and Redis!”

“Oh, really? Dear, Mom is so reassured to have Reina. Isn’t that right, Jay?”

I turned to Jake with a satisfied face.

Jake replied by stroking Reina’s head.

“Reina, don’t worry, Mom and Dad are already protecting you.”

“Tsk, but Dad is a wizard! It’s stronger to protect with a sword rather than a wizard!”

“Uumm…….”

As if he had been hit by Reina’s words, Jake made a tearful face with a troubled look.

‘Well, to children, a knight might look stronger than a wizard. He is going to pull himself together. Right, Jake?’

I smiled and looked at Jake.

Just then, Redis shouted as if he had just remembered.

“Come to think of it, Mom and Dad! You were supposed to go to the imperial palace today!”

“Right. Oh no.”

“Yes, I want to go and play with Prince Meikal! He’s so cute!”

“Me too! I will play hide and seek with him!”

Prince Meikal.

The child, who had just turned 3, was the new heir to the imperial family born to Nicholas and Alice.

“By the way, when can the prince go to kindergarten, Mom?”

“Well, maybe around the time Reina and Redis graduate?”

Hearing my answer, Reina broke into tears with a startled look.

“…… I wanted to go to kindergarten with him!”

“It’s okay, Reina. But I think you can go together for about a year.”

“Oh, really? I’m excited!”

Lena, who instantly turned bright, reminded me of Jake when he was a child.

‘Anyway. They look alike.’

I turned my head to look at Jake with a meaningful face.

“Is there something on my face, Mir?”

“No, just. Because you’re cute.”

I gently stroked Jake’s cheek.

“No, no, Mom. My face is cuter than Dad’s!”

At that moment, Redis, who had been sitting still, jumped out and shouted. I replied by stroking Redis.

“Yes, yes. Our Redis is a hundred times cuter.”

“Mir…….”

Jake looked at me with a face that somehow felt a subtle sense of betrayal.

‘As expected he’s really cute!’

A smile spread across my face.

Jake and I and the kids who look just like us both.

At that moment I thought,

Now that we are a family of four instead of two, let’s work even harder to live a life that is double happily.

‘Reina, Redis. and Jake. I will definitely make my family happy. Forever.’
