Chapter 5. I’ve Decided on My Future Dream (3)

“Well then, have fun, everyone.”

Ella, Maria, and Bailey pushed us into the playroom with very cheerful faces.

Evelyn, Leon, Ian, and I briefly watched the door close.

‘I feel like we’re a bomb disposal unit?’

Since it’s hard to play with several kids, they’re probably trying to deal with us by cramming us all into one room.

Somehow I got the impression that Ella and Maria found children troublesome. Even though they were hired as babysitters.

Even Bailey, who was a nanny, was like that.

When Leon burst into loud tears, she just watched from a distance with a bewildered expression, so it didn’t seem like she had much experience dealing with young children up close.

‘What was it like when I cried?’

Far from being flustered, they calmly said things like “Shall I give you a bottle? Shall I change your diaper?” All three of them did that. While smiling annoyingly cheerfully.

‘So I thought they were different because they were professional sitters…’

In fact, those three people’s experience with childcare might be even lower than mine.

“Sniff…”

Leon sniffled and wiped under his nose with his sleeve. That snotty kid.

I crouched down at Leon’s feet just like I did outside, and looked up at his face.

He had been crying with tears and snot streaming outside, but now he was only sniffling as if only his nose was running.

Maria, Ella, and Bailey were just standing there dumbfounded, and Lloyd was just watching as if it was entertaining, so I barely managed to comfort him, but is he going to cry again?

“Leon… gonna keep cwying?”

“N-n-n-no! I’m not crying, okay? I’m absolutely not crying!”

With his nose bridge bright red, Leon shouted loudly. My ears hurt. When I unconsciously covered one ear and slightly frowned, Ian covered my ear and said to Leon.

“Wipe your snot before you talk. Don’t shout.”

“Ian, stop acting smart!”

“I never acted smart.”

“You didn’t even try to stop me, how petty…”

“Even when I said no, you didn’t listen and ran off. You were secretly happy about the chance to swing your wooden sword, weren’t you?”

“…”

“How childish. Because you act first without thinking, the wooden sword Father gave you as a gift ended up breaking.”

The 7-year-old twins are fighting among themselves. Somehow feeling drained, I moved away from the twins and quietly sat in a corner of the playroom.

The carpet scattered with blocks that Father made by hand and picture books that Ella had been reading to me was practically my designated spot.

When I first crawled, when I took my first steps, this soft carpet was with me.

Whine.

Evelyn pressed her nose against my leg. My stabilizer. You’re my angel. When I stared at her passionately because she was so lovable, she seemed a bit burdened and turned her head to show me her back as she sat.

‘When a puppy shows you their back, it means they really, really trust you…!’

I was moved. She might find it a bit annoying, but so what, she showed me her back. Her tail is still wagging vigorously.

Then the twins, who noticed I had distanced myself, stopped fighting among themselves and approached.

“How petty! We’re fighting but you don’t even care and just play with the dog?”

“Uh… should I have been dwawn into it?”

Weren’t you guys not paying attention to me either? And my ears hurt too. When I asked with my eyes, Leon and Ian awkwardly avoided eye contact. Leon spoke as if trying to change the subject.

“Do you like the dog that broke my wooden sword that much?”

“I wike her. I wike her the most.”

“…You haven’t even known each other that long…”

Is his voice trembling right now? To doubt our relationship.

“But we’ve alweady been together for a wong time!”

“What?!”

Ian shouted loudly. It would be one thing if it were Leon, but I was a bit surprised that Ian, who seemed to have a relatively calm personality, raised his voice.

“We’ve been together the whole time since we met, wight!”

“Woof!”

Look at that barking sound… So cute…

“Evie has been with me the whole time wike this.”

“As a guard?”

“We’re fwiends.”

What guard? I didn’t have the ability to pay Evelyn a salary. When she becomes an adult and needs a job, if she wants to work at the manor, well, my parents would probably hire her.

“Then we’re not rivals.”

“What awe you saying…”

“Our dream is to become your knights.”

“…Wisten, Ian.”

I spoke seriously.

“What’s the point of being a knight? I don’t have much money.”

“Who said we need money to be knights?”

“…You’re naive. What if there’s no money? You don’t know anything.”

“Who’s calling who a child?”

“No money.”

“Who would believe that the only daughter of the Wentworth Ducal House has no money?”

Are you really going to keep saying such materialistic things to a 3-year-old? It’s only because I’m filtering what I hear.

“It’s not my money.”

“It will be yours.”

“Until I die! Even if it’s not mine! No!”

Ian seemed to realize his mistake and quietly apologized.

“…So you won’t make us your knights because you don’t have money?”

You’re not even knights to begin with. I was dumbfounded by Ian’s words as if he’d already become a knight.

“Yeah. I don’t have money.”

“…”

“You’re not big enough to dream about, and not promising either. Look somewhere else.”

“Do you think we’ll give up just because you say that?”

These guys just won’t listen.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

“…Do you hate us?”

“Can’t we just be friends?”

Ian and Leon stared at me intently. This is it. If I persuade them just a little more, they might give in. I paid more attention to my pronunciation and spoke seriously.

“Let’s be friends. I want to have friends.”

“No.”

“No.”

These brats. They’re more stubborn than I thought.

“Why? Why not?”

“We want to protect you.”

“But I’m not in danger…”

Evelyn would become incredibly strong when she grows up, and I knew that Maria, Ella, and Bailey were also very strong people.

More than that, my parents… I don’t know how strong Father is, but with just Mother alone, wouldn’t there be no need for the twins’ help?

My thoughts must have shown clearly on my face because Ian spoke up.

“How long are you going to stay with your parents?”

“Probably until I grow up?”

“The Wentworth Couple are busy people. They won’t be able to stay by your side all day.”

“Well…”

That would be true.

My parents love me dearly, but being of high status, they seemed to have many places to be called to. That’s why they assigned Maria, Ella, and Bailey to me.

Of course, they always came to give me kisses in the morning and evening, and tried to make time to play with me at least once every three days whenever possible.

I couldn’t doubt that love because they were such honest people that honey practically dripped from their eyes. Just like how my father from my previous life looked at Mina and me.

Shana Perry Wentworth was truly lucky.

“And…”

Ian looked around the playroom.

What is he looking for? Ian scanned the desk that adults use and frowned with displeasure. Then he picked up one of the blocks that had been scattered on the floor. The block that Father had carefully carved and made… Oh.

Thud!

“Ah! What! Are you doing, ah!”

“Ouch…”

Ian calmly put the block down. I was so shocked that I ran to him, but Leon remained quiet without saying anything.

“Blood, blood, you’re bleeding!”

“Ow, it hurts.”

“Of course it hurts… Wait, wait. Huff, ah…”

That crazy bastard, really. He must have hit himself pretty hard because blood was seeping out. It hurts just watching. I made a tearful face and gathered energy in my palm. Clay gathered around the bean-sized energy.

Seeing the wound directly made it look more painful, so I made the clay softer and spread it on Ian’s forehead like ointment.

The wound disappeared as if it had been washed clean.

“Wow…”

“Amazing.”

“Praising me won’t get you anything. Don’t ever do this again. Understand? You need to know how to take care of your own body!”

Ian grinned.

“You could make money with this.”

“…Huh?”

“If you make money with this, you can make us your knights.”

“…”

“Then there’s no problem, right?”

“…There’s no… problem but why not… Did you just say that to…”

“Yeah. I did it on purpose.”

“…This crazy bastard…”

What kind of crazy guy is this.

Ian grinned and asked me back “Hm?” I thought he was just a handsome red-haired kid, but looking again, there was a subtle madness swirling in his eyes.

He was insane.

“There’s no problem, right?”

“…You little brat… Over something like this…”

“Why wouldn’t there be? If there isn’t, we’ll create one.”

Leon, who had been quiet, chimed in. You shut up too. A pair of crazy brothers.

My head was throbbing, so I pressed both hands to my forehead.

‘Lloyd is an honest and hearty normal person, so how did kids like this turn out?’

Maybe Lloyd’s wife was…, no, that was really rude of me just now.

The twins pressured me quietly with silence this time, as if demanding an answer. You guys seem to be forgetting, but I’m a little kid. I’m 3 years old.

“Lady Shana?”

What’s with calling me ‘Lady’ while speaking casually.

But even while grumbling internally, I was overwhelmed by the madness of someone who had smashed their own head with blocks and couldn’t say anything.

‘Don’t smile so cheerfully after doing something like that, you Binggrae crazy bastard.’

I mean, seriously. Making money by healing people – are they suggesting we open a hospital or something? Do they think anyone can just open a hospital? You need doctors and…

‘Huh? Can’t I do it?’

I completely cured Mother at just 6 months old, and easily healed Evelyn who had life-threatening injuries at 2 years and 6 months old.

No, no. We’d need nurses too.

‘Oh wait. Ella and Maria who are freed from being sitters, I could make a new contract with Bailey? And there are two people who want to become my workers?’

No, no. To build a hospital, we’d need a building… startup funds…

‘My parents are rich. What’s a building? They casually give me necklaces worth several castles like it’s nothing.’

Huh?

Huuuh?

…Opening a clinic is totally possible?
