The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

“Ah, is that so? Then it can’t be helped.”

Cedric didn’t show on the surface, but he stepped back because he was more surprised at the fact that Alice answered him in a hostile manner than that she refused.

However, after about 5 minutes, he came to his senses, and Cedric felt like he had somehow lost and started talking to himself and lying.

“I’m not missing it or anything. Those kinds of caramels are sold in the store anyways.”

“…”

“Ugh.”

But the more he gave excuses, the more he felt like he was pathetic. In the end, Cedric had to admit it.

He didn’t know whether he wanted the caramel or whether he wanted to be friendly with Emir Saeron who gave out the caramel, but he felt like his heart was empty.

‘Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to offend her that time.’

When he started feeling a hint of regret, Cedric shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Regret was a word that couldn’t exist in Cedric Bedmon’s dictionary.

…

“Whoa, my god.”

I looked at the store in front of me and closed my mouth.

My mom whispered to me when I expressed joy and admiration with my whole body.

“I’m glad we came here together, I thought you would like this store since you enjoy eating desserts so much.”

“This is really the best!”

I raised my thumb on both of my hands.

Yes, the reason my mom took me out was none other than this.

She wanted to bring me to the newly created dessert shop in the capital.

“Welcome, Marchioness Saeron. We will guide you to the reserved seat.”

An employee wearing an apron with a pretty logo came out and led us to somewhere.

As I passed by, I looked around to find that most of the people who visited here were maids or servants who served as an agent. But sometimes there were guests who directly visited like us, and they seemed to be guided to the second floor.

‘Whoa.’

I went up the stairs around and round and found out that the wall right next to it was a hologram aquarium made with a magic stone. Even though I knew it was a fake fish, I made eye contact with it until mom called me; then, I raised my head and went up hurriedly.

“Huh?”

And at the place of arrival, I unexpectedly encountered someone I knew.

Why is he here?

Who I saw was no other than Jake.

A child of my age with particularly soft brown hair stood out amongst many adults.

Even though he had an expressionless face compared to the usual, it was definitely Jake.

But before I could call his name, Jake found me first.

“Mir?”

Jake also seemed to be surprised to see me.

Jake opened his eyes widely for a moment before walking over to me with a happy expression.

I replied looking baffled when I saw how his expression changed in an instant.

“Uh, hello. Jake. We meet again.”

“Mhm. I’m also very happy to see you again here.”

Then I heard a voice calling for Jake.

A man with a servant outfit hurriedly walked up with wrapped up desserts in both hands.

“Young master! Whew, You have to tell me before you go. I was surprised when I found out that you disappeared.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll be careful from now on. My legs automatically moved when I saw that Mir was here.”

“Young master…”

It seemed like Jake visited this shop with the duke’s servant instead of his family.

But why did he come? For me, I followed my mom here, but there was no reason for Jake to come to this shop.

All of the duke’s patissiers were of the highest skill, and Jake wasn’t really very fond of desserts. Though he does eat everything when he eats together with me.

“Jake. But why did you come here?”

Eventually, I became curious and decided to ask Jake the question.

Jake tilted his head a little and laughed, and then replied as if he were whispering.

“It’s because you like desserts. My butler said a new dessert shop opened, so I immediately thought of you. I was going to buy it today, hide it and give it to you as a surprise gift, but I guess I failed since you found out…”
