Tiya’s Smooth Regression Life

Chapter 35

04

One day when the new year wasn’t far off, in front of the Vladijef Manor Main Building.

Tension filled the faces of the employees surrounding the magnificent four-horse carriage.

They meticulously cleared the path to ensure not even a single pebble was rolling around before signaling to the coachman.

Soon the carriage began to move slowly.

As if carrying precious cargo, the slowly rolling carriage didn’t even make it past the manor’s main gate.

This was because its destination wasn’t outside the manor to begin with.

“We have arrived.”

The glass greenhouse, five minutes away from the main building.

Having reached their destination, the maid Melody knocked on the carriage door with a serious expression.

The carriage door opened, and Lev cautiously poked his head out, surveying the surroundings as he stepped down the carriage stairs one by one.

And finally, the moment he entered the greenhouse.

“Oh my, the young master is going out…”

“He’s become so much healthier since Lady Valentina came.”

“This is all thanks to the young ladies.”

The house, which had become cold and desolate after the lady of the house passed away, had certainly begun to regain its vitality when Lady Tiya returned.

Moved by this change, the employees who had been caring for Lev wiped away tears one after another.

Lev glanced back at Tiya following behind and shrugged his shoulders as if showing off.

“Really, everyone’s making such a fuss. It’s not like I’ll die just from going out a bit… Achoo.”

“The young master coughed!”

“A warm water bottle! No, bring more cotton blankets!”

Amid everyone’s worry and encouragement, Lev safely settled in front of the tea table prepared in one corner of the glass greenhouse.

Thunderous applause erupted from the watching employees.

“Well done, young master!”

“You didn’t even stumble, and walked so confidently!”

“Q-Quiet! Everyone stay at least twenty steps away from me. Don’t even look at me! I can hear all your eyeballs rolling around!”

Corn is watching too, how embarrassing!

Lev snapped irritably and drove the employees away. Tiya’s eyes sparkled as she propped her chin on the tea table and looked up at Lev.

“How is it? Isn’t it nice coming out for a walk? Aren’t you excited?”

The project to get Lev to take walks, which involved many people, had started with a single comment from Tiya two weeks ago.

“Why are you always lying in bed whenever I see you? Don’t you exercise?”

The attending physician often said the same thing. That he shouldn’t just lie in bed all the time just because he was weak.

But each time, Lev would pretend to cover his ears and burrow even deeper under the covers.

‘I’m going to die anyway, so why would I exercise?’ he thought.

What dragged such a Lev out of bed was Tiya’s persistence.

“Let’s go sightseeing in the Dominion streets!”

“We’d have to take a carriage. I hate it because I get motion sick.”

“Have you ever played croquet? I’m really good at it.”

“I’d sweat. That’s absolutely disgusting.”

“Then do you want to go see a performance?”

“Unknown places, enclosed spaces, strangers sitting next to me – absolutely revolting.”

Even when Lev repeatedly rejected her suggestions, Tiya didn’t give up.

“Let’s explore inside the house!”

Unable to refuse even that, Lev finally left his bed and began slowly expanding his territory.

And so today, he had come all the way to the glass greenhouse outside the manor.

Having finished surveying his surroundings, Lev grumbled.

“Ugh, there’s a weird smell here. What’s this sticky stuff?”

【Look at him. I guess it’s his first time smelling flowers.】

“Getting out of bed is draining my energy. I want to go home now.”

【He wants to go home without even leaving the house. What am I going to do with him.】

At this rate, it seemed like Lev would say he wanted to go back. Tiya hurriedly spoke.

“Since we’ve come all this way, let’s try something new! Like… dancing? Oh, that’s it! How about learning to dance? It’s actually good exercise.”

“Corn, you know how to dance too?”

“Of course! When I make my debut later, I’m going to dominate the ballroom, you know?”

Corn dominating the ballroom.

The image of Tiya running wild across the dance floor, knocking down everyone who bumped into her, naturally came to mind.

‘That would be something to see.’

Corn’s debut. He wouldn’t even live until then, so what was he expecting.

It was while he was having such thoughts carelessly.

“Ow!”

Something pricked his back with a sharp sting.

Lev hunched his body and turned around, but there was no one behind him.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“…Nothing, it’s nothing.”

Lev rubbed his left shoulder blade with an uneasy expression.

Something had definitely touched his bare skin.

‘Even though it’s a greenhouse, there couldn’t be bees in this winter.’

“Then stand up. I’ll teach you. It’s not difficult at all.”

With Tiya pulling his hands, Lev stood up in confusion.

“I don’t do things like dancing-“

Before Lev could finish speaking, Tiya grabbed both his hands and began spinning around and around.

She didn’t assume proper posture or follow proper steps. Even Lev knew this wasn’t real dancing.

“Pfft, you can’t even dance properly and you talk about dominating.”

“The important thing is momentum! When you don’t know something well, it’s all about momentum anyway. Ta-da-da, ta-da-da.”

To Tiya’s cheerful singing, the world began spinning round and round.

Their footwork grew faster and faster, and both children’s cheeks turned rosy.

What was this supposed to be. Sweet air filled his lungs and made him tingly, and before he knew it, Lev burst into laughter like a light cough.

Excited, Tiya increased the speed even more.

It was so fast that it felt like both feet were floating in the air-

“Huh? Wait a minute. I think my feet actually floated in the air just now.”

“Right? Isn’t it exciting? The really exciting part starts now!”

Tiya, caught up in the excitement, firmly grabbed Lev’s forearm and began spinning him in earnest.

“Whoooosh! Spinning whirlwind!”

This time, Lev’s feet truly lifted off the ground and he began rotating due to centrifugal force.

“Kids, sorry I’m la-“

Valentina, who had returned from going out alone, happened to be entering the glass greenhouse when she stopped short.

She didn’t know how it had come to this, but Tiya was spinning Lev around and around like shaking out wet laundry.

“Aaaaah! Crazy, crazy! Valentina! Try to stop her!”

Lev called out to Valentina for rescue.

Valentina drew out a long “Hmm,” then covered her mouth and laughed innocently.

“The dances of the North are truly spirited.”

“You knew all along!”

* * *

Valentina’s skill with the tea set was remarkably proficient for her age.

She took out seeds from a small pouch and made them grow quickly, then combined various dried flowers and leaves to brew flower tea.

Soon, a refreshing floral scent that calmed the mind wafted through the air.

However, it wasn’t enough to rouse Lev, who was lying on the couch groaning.

“Ugh. I feel like I’m dying.”

“Brother.”

“Ah, fine. I take back what I said about dying, I take it back!”

She’s always the one who beats him half to death anyway.

Lev, who had been grumbling, suddenly clamped his mouth shut and covered his eyes with his arm as if tired.

“Hey, Corn.”

“Yeah?”

“I’m craving madeleines.”

“Got it. I’ll ask Melody to bring some…”

“No. You go to the kitchen and get them.”

“Huh? Right now?”

“Yeah, right now. I might die if I can’t eat madeleines brought by Corn.”

“Geez! I told you not to talk about dying! I’ll go get them, so don’t die and wait here!”

Tiya immediately bounced out like a baby bird that had just left its nest, practically flying as she hopped away.

A moment later, Valentina handed Lev the tea that had cooled to the right temperature. Lev slowly sat up and downed it in one gulp as if he had been waiting for it.

His face, now finally revealed, was flushed bright red.
