I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke

Side Story 2 Episode 20

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come here… I’ll leave soon.”

“Eira, lift your head. That’s not why I came.”

Anna gently took Eira’s hand.

“Then why…?”

Eira’s clear eyes, now raised, were filled with confusion.

“I retired. So I’m going around visiting the children I raised because I want to see them.”

“Retired? But you’re still in your prime.”

“Hohoho, in my prime. Still, it feels good to hear that?”

Anna stroked Eira’s hand with caring eyes. Having wandered roughly outside the Empire for several years, her hands that had once been soft as flower petals were now rough.

“I’m retired now, and you retired long ago too, so how about we live together from now on? Sir Dimon too.”

Startled, Eira hesitated before giving a sad smile.

“…Nanny, you know. I can’t return to the Empire.”

To the world, it was known that the Emperor had died and the 7th Imperial Consort had followed him in death.

But if she revealed herself in the Empire, it would cause trouble for the Emperor and Her Imperial Majesty the Former Empress who had staged her death. And also for His Grace the Western Duke who had taken her in.

At that, Anna pulled out items one by one from the bag she had brought, as if telling her not to worry.

“This is something His Grace sent – he said it’s a medicine made by Zero that changes a person’s appearance. And this is a deed gifting you a silver mine and manor.”

“…What?”

“I already received mine too. He already had everything notarized under our names.”

Eira looked at the items placed on the table with trembling eyes.

She had been able to complete her revenge through the Western Duke’s grace, but she never expected him to take care of such things too.

“It seems His Grace has been consistently concerned about whether you’re living well. That’s how I was able to find you so directly like this.”

“What am I that he would…”

Tears filled Eira’s large eyes. Anna took her hand and patted it comfortingly.

“Don’t say such things. You’re like a child to me. So shall we live together?”

“Is it really okay? Can I return to the Empire, to the Western Region? Will His Majesty the Emperor allow it?”

“Duke already received His Majesty the Emperor’s permission too.”

“Ah…”

Eira bowed her head as tears flowed.

Thinking of the Emperor who had forgiven her for killing Father, and the Western Duke who had watched over and cared for her even after she had gone far away, tears flowed endlessly.

Just then, the door opened and Sir Dimon entered. Having heard the conversation from outside, the usually stoic man was smiling faintly.

“Eira, that’s wonderful. Now you can be happy with Nanny-“

“Uncle!”

Eira hastily wiped her tears and cut off his words. She ran to him with a fearful expression and grabbed the hem of his shirt.

Dimon looked down at her with bewildered eyes.

“…Why?”

“Don’t greet me like you’re going to leave! I won’t go anywhere without Uncle.”

Demon’s face hardened stiffly as if his intentions had been discovered.

Eira gripped his shirt hem even tighter with eyes that said she knew this would happen.

“If you secretly run away, I’ll spend my whole life searching for you. You know how stubborn I am, right? Nanny is excellent at tracking too, so we’ll search everywhere together.”

“Sir Dimon, don’t think about making this retired old woman suffer and come with us.”

Anna joined in persuading him.

Demon looked at the two with a troubled expression, then let out a deep sigh.

“With two ladies living there, if I live together too…”

“I’m going to say Eira is my daughter from now on, so we can think about Sir Dimon’s role gradually. Since Eira is so pretty, it would be fine to say you’re her husband and protect Eira.”

At Anna’s teasing, both their faces instantly turned bright red.

“Nanny!”

“There, there. I was just saying it, let’s decide gradually.”

Watching the two who couldn’t even make eye contact with each other, Anna smiled mischievously with a face full of playfulness.
