The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

The parlor next to Duke Theion’s office and magic lab was a terrace with a small garden.

With the chirping of the little birds, I stepped inside familiarly.

On the other hand, Cedric, who followed me, was looking around with the expression that there was a place like this in the world.

Well, the atmosphere was very different between the Duchy of Bedmon and the Duchy of Teion.

On one side, it was a space full of passion that was almost like the Knights’ quarters’, and on the other was a nature-friendly and bright space where very few employees, let alone knights, could be seen.

As soon as I entered, I saw a brown-haired man sitting comfortably in a wooden armchair and wearing an eye patch.

He was Jake’s father, Alvin Theion.

When he heard the guests, Duke Theion took off his eye patch and looked at me with his slender eyes that were dazzling, shining like a light, then smiled and greeted me.

In the light, the curved eyes, the curly hair that looked halfway between blond and hazelnut colors looked really alike.

That’s what I always think of every time I see the Duke. He looked just like Jake.

“Emir, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. How have you been?”

“Well, I’ve been well. Probably. How are you, Your Excellency?”

“It’s me. I’m always doing well.”

And only after greeting me, Duke Theion found Cedric standing behind me.

“Ah, are you Lord Cedric Bedmon? The cute puppy in your hands is that magical being? I heard from Jake.”

“Yes, yes. I am… Cedric Bedmon. Duke Theion, it’s an honor to meet you.”

Cedric, who was as nervous as he could be, immediately greeted him.

Anyway, Duke Theion, who met Cedric, looked at Cedric and found out that I was the one who told him that this animal is a magical being.

I avoided the gaze of the Duke to me with a cold sweaty face. Honestly, the Duke is close to my dad, so he must have been very well aware that I rarely read books about animals, let alone about magical beings.

Did he notice that I lied to Cedric…

‘Just let it slide, please!’

Fortunately, the Duke of Theion did not comment on my unusual reading material; perhaps my telepathy was delivered to him. Just in time, Cedric asked him a question.

“If the curse on Polly was lifted, what would Polly look like?”

“That’s not yet known… Yes, I think we can only know when the seal is released.”

A thin cushion was placed on the white table in the terrace, which was full of bright sunlight.

The Duke, who carefully laid Polly there, shook his head, saying that he didn’t know what was coming. Cedric seemed even more nervous.

“Well, then you can definitely get rid of this curse, right? Please tell me you can.”

“…..Well. Maybe I can solve it.”

It was an ambiguous answer, but inevitably, the Duke was concentrating on creating a magic circle. Duke Theion immediately proceeded to destroy the curse. In the first place, this curse was more of a complex ancient magic than a spell, so it was possible to destroy it with magic.

When the magic circle was drawn at the tip of the Duke’s fingertips, and the pattern touched Polly, suddenly a dazzling and cold light spread out.  Perhaps Cedric saw something similar.

“Whoa……!”

“It’s done.”

Huh? Is it over already?

Even in my dream I never thought of breaking a curse so easily, I opened my eyes that I carefully closed.

“Wow……”

There was something in the shape of a small egg.

Cedric asked in amazement.

“This, this egg. What? Is this Polly? Did it become like this because it’s a magical being?”

“Yes, because this is a magical being’s egg.”

The Duke explained, looking at the egg with a delicate look.

In other words, it was explained that since most of its life force in the seal has been exhausted, its appearance when the seal was lifted went to the original egg.

“A day or a week at most. Neither dry nor humid, and if you leave it still at a temperature of about 25 degrees, it will wake up on its own. It won’t break even if you throw it or hit it with a hammer, so you don’t have to worry about that part, but if you give it a shock, the egg can get stressed and not wake up for a long time.”

Cedric, who listened to all of the Duke’s explanations carefully, quickly embraced the egg carefully.
