After it was decided that the garbage would follow us, Lady Aria began to introduce everyone to him.
Everyone gathered around them. That garbage stood before his group as their representative.
With Lucy in her bosom, Lady Aria held Lucy’s hand and waved at him. It was too cute. “Lucy, please say hello.”
“Lady Aria, is she? Is she your sister?” Bashfully, that garbage asked her.
“Ah, no, Lucy is not my sister.” Ignorant as usual, Lady Aria gave her typical reply.
Unbeknownst to what lay ahead, that garbage tried to dig its own grave. “…. I see. What is your relationship with her?”
“Hmmm, you can say Lucy is my daughter.” She replied as she gave Lucy a motherly look.
It was her typical reply whenever she introduced Lucy to new people. We were getting used to it already. However, to those who were new, …
Yes, he gave an expected reaction. His face was priceless. “……………. Your daughter? “... La La Lady Aria, you, you are married?”
But I was wondering what was in his brain. How could he reach this conclusion? If they thought about it a bit, they would reach a conclusion. “….Ah, no, I am not married. What makes you think like that?” Lady Aria, too, was puzzled about his thought process. Yes, that was also her typical behavior. She was always wise, yet she was also ignorant in some aspects.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
“……. I mean, I mean, your, your daughter. Who… Who is it? Who is the father?” That fool gave us more nonsense.
What are you? Who are you to act like that? With little brain, one can see the flaw in her words already. How can a nine-year-old girl get married? Well, it was possible for some nobles, although rare. But how can a nine-year-old girl give birth? Who would be that sick to do that? However, there was no way a saintess candidate got married.
“Ah, I do not know his name. And I think he is already dead.” It seemed that Lady Aria did not notice his abnormality. She gave an honest answer.
“Dead? That bas—” Oh, he was losing it.
I could not allow things to escalate more than that. He gave us more nonsense than what we experienced so far. Looking at other bystanders, I felt that they were enjoying the situation. Some even brought out snacks and beers. That garbage was making a fool out of himself. I would deal with those fools later. They really had no discipline. I had no choice but to step in. I could not let it escalate any further. We were running late.
“Well, well, well, let me take over from here, Milady. Boy, Lucy is an orphan, and Lady Aria is taking care of Lucy. She is treating Lucy as her daughter.” So, I cleared the misunderstanding for Lady Aria.
“I, I see. Not the real daughter. I see. Not the biological mother. She is not married. I see. I see. Good. Good.”
Yes, on top of being garbage, he has proved himself to be a fool, too. Everyone was laughing at him.
“……Fufu, why are you making that face?” Lady Aria giggled as she looked at that fool. It felt like he also became a clown now.
Someone was already rolling on the floor, holding his stomach as he showed us his dumb face. “……” Just seeing her laugh could make him be that bashful.
“Milady, are you not aware, or are you doing it on purpose?” It was too much that I could not help but question her motives.
“...???” Lady Aria cutely tilted her head sideways as she gave me a puzzled look. At that moment, a thought went through my mind. For Lady Aria, I think the only sin she committed was innocently playing with people's hearts. That was what I firmly believed at that time.
