95.

In an instant, Pitt bit his lips tightly.

Everything he had desperately struggled with, giving frantic signals to Roderick, had crumbled in a single moment.

‘I just want to faint…’

Siena asked back.

“…You’re seeing him for the first time?”

“Yes!”

She was speechless with bewilderment.

‘They’re family…, but you’re seeing him for the first time today?’

Then family members from the Lehatten Kingdom who had never met before were encountering each other for the first time.

And that too, in the capital of the Karnon Empire.

‘What… is this bizarre situation.’

Her mind became tangled in complexity.

At that moment, a familiar and irritating voice came from behind.

“Well, it’s possible they met but can’t remember.”

It was Chase.

He had originally been near the employees—to be precise, next to Isadora—but had somehow approached this way.

Chase looked at Roderick, Edel, and the pale-faced Pitt with interested eyes.

“As far as I know, the de Vicelle family is an extremely large family even within the Lehatten Kingdom.”

“…”

“There are so many members that it’s common for family members not to remember who’s who among themselves.”

He crossed his arms and clicked his tongue.

“But… people from the kingdom really have no affection. Even so, does it make sense for cousins to live without knowing each other’s faces?”

Soon his lips curved smoothly as if buttered.

It was the so-called ‘situation management’ smile.

When he wore such a relaxed and leisurely smile, ordinary people would usually be charmed by Chase’s beauty and agree.

The customers in the Center were currently like that too.

“Wow, Baron Aizet… You look so handsome today too.”

“Look at those thick aegyo-sal. I want to be crushed to death by them…”

But Siena was not.

When she suddenly heard fawning comments directed at her crazy brother, her eyes became a straight line.

‘Ugh, my head hurts…’

Due to the oncoming headache, she decided to stop thinking.

Chase’s smile didn’t work, but anyway, the situation had been sorted out.

Siena, who had been scratching her head, muttered as she finished greeting them.

“Uh… You’ve come a long way. You must have had a hard time.”

It was because the day she first met Roderick suddenly flashed through her mind.

“Somehow, when I said I was Chase Willow’s older brother, everyone called me Baron Aizet.”

“…”

“I saw an old man who said his ears bled because of the Baron. I also saw a man who immediately grabbed my collar when I mentioned the Baron.”

Since Rik had come from the port to Willow Manor through various people…

‘That Young Master Edelweiss probably went through the same thing.’

It was obvious that only the man following the reckless Edel had suffered.

‘Is that man Edelweiss’s secretary?’

Something about him gave that impression.

‘Ah, could it be…’

Was he sweating cold sweat like that because he had been tormented too much on the way here?

There must have been more than one or two incidents where he almost got grabbed by the collar by Empire citizens.

‘Then that would make sense…’

Now she finally understood why Pitt was so fond of his handkerchief.

She learned the reason why he couldn’t let go of it like a comfort toy.

And she felt a little kinship too.

‘I don’t know Pitt well yet, but.’

Siena sent him a sympathetic look.

‘You’ve had a lot of trouble…’

Pitt noticed the gaze directed at him and tilted his head slightly.

Unfortunately, he didn’t seem to be able to interpret what it meant.

At that moment, an unexpected statement came rushing in.

“I wanted to see you!”

Everyone’s gaze, including Siena’s and Chase’s, turned to Edel.

She unconsciously asked back.

“What?”

“I wanted to see you!”

“…What? Me?”

“Yes!”

“…What?”

She couldn’t understand.

‘You wanted to see me, what does that mean?’

I only learned of your existence today…

‘Those words sound exactly like he’s known me from before.’

Siena slowly rolled her eyes.

Perhaps reading her expression full of suspicion, Pitt hurriedly stepped forward.

“Th, that is…”

“…”

“In the Lehatten Kingdom, this is how they say ‘nice to meet you’ as a greeting.”

Though his words trailed off, his desperate gaze was clear.

It seemed like he was crying out ‘Please believe me.’

Pitt quickly looked up at Roderick.

Then Roderick placed his hand on his waist and shouted heartily.

“Was that so! Chwahhahaha!”

The strange laughter filled the Center.

Siena looked around at them with an incredulous expression.

‘…Well.’

The Lehatten Kingdom’s greeting method is a bit… interesting indeed.

Wasn’t the reunion between Lian and Roderick like that too?

“Huh…?”

(Brother…?)

“…It’s been a while, little brother.”

The image of Lian roughly covering his long-lost family member’s mouth slowly formed in her mind.

‘The Lehatten Kingdom is really… a fascinating country in many ways.’

Family members live without knowing each other’s faces, and even their first meeting greeting method is unique.

It was truly a country that was incomprehensible no matter how much you knew about it.

Siena muttered so quietly that no one could hear.

“I’m glad I possessed a Karnon Empire NPC…”

If she had possessed a character from the Lehatten Kingdom…

She would have definitely been an outsider, unable to adapt to that strange culture.

***

After that, Edel.

No, Edelweiss began to stir up the inside of the Center.

“Wow! This is where you write letters! There’s so much paper!”

It felt like there was one more small, uncontrollable ball of fur.

‘Like a second round with Roderick.’

Isadora’s narrowed eyes behind her glasses seemed to say just that.

Edel marveled at everything that came into his sight.

In that state, he roamed around the Center as if it were his playground.

“Pitt! What’s that? It looks really fluffy!”

“…That is a cushion. There are many in Young Master’s room as well.”

“Whoa…! That thing over there is fascinating too!”

“Y-Young Master…”

Soon Pitt shook his head and approached Siena.

He politely bowed his waist.

“I apologize, my lady. Our Young Master is quite… energetic.”

“…”

“In the Kingdom, family surveillance was strict, so he rarely went outside the manor since childhood.”

“…”

“So today he seems very… excited. I’m truly sorry.”

Deep fatigue lingered in his voice.

Siena’s gaze toward Pitt became even more sympathetic.

‘Not only did he suffer a lot coming here, but this happens regularly too…’

She lightly shook her head.

“No. It’s fine.”

“You are very understanding. Thank you.”

Pitt bowed his head once more.

White hair densely embroidered on his crown was visible.

Siena posed a question.

“But, may I ask what business brought you to the Center…?”

After all, a customer was a customer, so she had to ask about their purpose.

‘Why did that precious child suddenly barge in.’

Pitt straightened his posture and briefly rolled his eyes.

‘What would be an appropriate response.’

He immediately calculated an alibi in his head.

“Well…”

But just as he was about to answer, clattering footsteps began to be heard.

Edel, who had been exploring the Center, had somehow heard Siena and Pitt’s conversation.

He came running like an arrow with his hair flying, his eyes sparkling.

“I came to see my brother, my brother! Ca… No, Brother Lian!”

Edel proudly puffed out his chest.

He seemed to think his answer was absolutely perfect.

‘I originally came to find sister-in-law, but I hid the truth by saying I came to find my brother!’

That seemed very natural and skillful!

He stuck out his chest like a rooster and glanced at Pitt.

‘How about that, Pitt? I’m really smart, right? Pretty good, right?!’

I’ll be able to escape the Imperial Palace often from now on!

It was a thought that would make Pitt gasp if he heard it.

Of course, Siena was also surprised.

Though she was surprised for a completely different reason than Edel’s intention.

“You came here looking for Lian?”

“Yes!”

Her eyes narrowed.

‘…Come to think of it, how did he know about the Center?’

The question was valid.

There was no way someone from Lehatten Kingdom would know about this Relationship Counseling Center.

Especially one located in a corner of the Capital City of Karnon Empire.
