Chapter 40: Stealing the viiness’s treasure (1)
<em>‘My sole use as a fiancé is gone?’</em>
It was easy to understand what Shael meant by that.
It meant that the desserts made by Ka tasted better than anything I made.
“…”
Without saying a word, I reached out for the cookies Ka had made.
Of course, the greedy viiness didn’t even give up that single cookie.
Shael said to Ka. “You… work at my Azbel Mansion”
Shael’s words were not an offer, but amand.
I was worried that Ka would be scared, but… the situation I was worried about didn’t happen.
Rather, Ka confidently said, “I don’t want to!”
“…”
Shael was taken aback by the quick rejection. And I carefully brought out the Serpent Orb so that Shael could see it. I had to warn her that she couldn’t just threaten an innocent and young child to do something for her.
Shael, who red at me once, opened her mouth again.
“I’ll give you any amount of money if you agree to work for the Azbel family.”
Ka turned her head away without listening to Shael’s words. Then she nced at me, as if she was sending a signal.
Exchanging nces with Ka, I said in a tone that seemed as friendly as possible.
“Ka, how about working for my family?”
“Alright!”
Ka immediately nodded her head.
Actually, it wasn’t a serious proposal. It was just a false proposal to make fun of the viiness in front of us.
Ka seemed to be aware of that as well.
Shael froze for a moment.
After showing a slight grin, K opened her bag and started looking for something in it.
Ka pulled out a deck of cards. It was a card that felt very familiar to both me and Shael.
It was simr to the card game was yed in the inn of the Mage Tower.
“If you beat me in this game, I’ll do whatever you want! Instead, if I win, you have to go wherever I want!”
Shael hastily nodded her head, and Ka raised the corners of her mouth.
Like Ka, a smile also bloomed on the viiness’s face.
At the same time, I let out a deep sigh.
It was natural, because there’s no way the viiness would y the game in an honest manner.
Even if her opponent was a child.
First of all, the rules of the game were the following— each yer will hold two bomb cards and ten normal cards, and each yer will draw and discard the opponent’s cards.
In that way, the first person to lose all the bomb cards would be the winner.
Shael started handing out cards. I checked the cards in Shael’s hand through Sight Magic.
She had one bomb card, where there should have been two, and she had eleven normal cards.
It was clear that there was at least one duplicate card.
<em>‘Does she even have a bare minimum of conscience left?’</em>
The answer was, no.
It was clear that the viiness had thought she would easily win by discarding that single bomb card.
That’s how the game started. And I carefully observed the situation.
Shael drew Ka’s card for the second time. But at that moment, Ka suddenly rose from her seat.
“I won!”
“…?”
Two out of ten. It was a very tough to pull it off in a row.
Furthermore, Ka had quickly taken the two cards that had already been drawn and tossed them into her deck.
The stupid viiness became dazed. She had lost even though she cheated.
I quickly turned on my Vision Magic and confirmed Ka’s deck.
There were twelve normal cards, and the two bomb card, which should have been there, didn’t exist.
Ka proudly stood tall with an innocent smile.
Shael didn’t even consider that a five-year-old could also cheat in the game.
It was fight between a viiness and a bad girl, and the victory went to the cute bad girl.
“But don’t worry, I’ll cook a lot for youter too!”
The girl even knew how to show sympathy.
Ka then took Shael and me by the hand and led us out of the dining area.
I followed Ka, who was sticking out her tongue, and the viiness, who was defeated by Ka, also had no choice but to follow her.
I was highly doubtful that Shael would be willing to abide by her end of the bet, but… came to think of it, there was another possibility.
The viiness still hadn’t given up on hiring the little pastry chef!
It was clear that she would try to convince Ka to work for her.
She is only five-year-old, but… it seems like I have a lot to learn from Ka.
For example, Ka was still smiling innocently, and the viiness was pretending that she hadn’t noticed her deceit.
We followed Ka and left the vi. Ka walked as if she had already decided on her destination.
There were quite a few teleportation fields in the Azbel family, which was a family famous for their magic.
And, the ce Ka was headed was one of them.
You had to pay money if you wanted to use it.
There was no way that the money would be burdensome to Shael and me, who belonged to ducal families.
Ka eagerly looked at Shael once we arrived front of the teleportation circle, where we had to pay the entrance fee.
She was asking Shael to pay the entrance fee. She must have realized that Shael was incredibly wealthy through the vi she had been to earlier.
It was a rude request, but… it didn’t really matter since Ka had won the bet with Shael earlier.
