Chapter 53 - Chapter 53 - White Bread Tastes Sweet

  "Dang dang dang~"

  A resounding, steady, heavy, distant bell rang out.

  The Fourth Church bells are ringing again.

  The quill in his hand was put in and when he heard the bell Connie knew it was time to leave work, as he did every day.

  Rising from his desk, his eyes followed the square window and looked out, the view outside still white-capped.

  After straightening his arms and stretching his torso, he reached up and tightened the scarf around his neck Connie before striding down the stone steps.

  Connie's place of work was a tower built next to the entrance to the city, which was constructed of stone, and the usual office was actually on the first floor.

  Traveling in Rin winter is not a sensible choice, not only will there be hungry snow beasts in the snow, but the low temperature alone will make it difficult for the caravan to move an inch, so every Rin winter, the shadow of the caravan is almost impossible to see.

  It was because he understood this that Connie moved his office to the top floor of the tower.

  The room on the top floor of the tower had a fireplace, and in the middle of this cold, bitter winter, there was nothing like having a lit fireplace in your room to make you feel happier, and even if a caravan was coming, a few of the soldiers stationed under your command went upstairs to inform them of it.

  There's nothing wrong with that.

  "Your Excellency Connie is going back?"

  "Well~ you guys worked hard."

  "No, no, no, no, no."

  "Your Excellency is the one who works hard, dealing with so many things every day~"

  It was understood that it was a false ass-kissing, but Connie himself took it well, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

  Take a step out of the tower.

  A cold wind blew and my cheeks felt raw.

  This damn Rincon winter.

  Cursing the damn season in his mind, Connie tightened his thick city defense officer's coat and walked into town.

  Staring at the thick layer of snow on the ground, going back? The big, fat face of his wife came to mind.

  A wave of nausea ran through my stomach, so I forgot to go back.

  Lifting my head, I didn't realize that I had already come here?

  "Your Excellency Connie-sama, you're here~"

  "Come on in and have a seat~"

  "Ellie I've warmed your drink~"

  Two women in flimsy dresses came up and took Connie's arm left and right.

  Smelling the scent of the woman's body brought a smile to Connie's face, thinking about the smell of grease on his own fat wife and comparing it to a stinky flower versus a fresh one.

  Not going back. Going back for what? The hand is directly anticlimactic.

  "Your Excellency is so bad~"

  "Hehehe~ You two are going to have fun with me tonight."

  "Of course~ As long as Your Excellency Connie is willing"

  Three figures entered the building side by side.

  .....

  It was already past the scheduled time, and for the time of day her husband left work Bella had calculated correctly.

  That Connie guy still hasn't come back today.

  The mood became a bit tiresome.

  "Mommy I'm hungry."

  A jarring, boyish voice came from behind him.

  The grim, fat face immediately turned cloudy.

  "Oh, my little Dar baby."

  "Mommy's going to make you dinner."

  "You wait a while~"

  "Okay mom~"

  A goofy grin appeared on his fat, round face.

  "You're the best mom ever."

  Hearing her son's words, Bella's footsteps lurched and a smile appeared on her face.

  Every time her husband, Connie, didn't come home the next day, and every time her husband's clothes had an unfamiliar scent that wasn't his own.

  Bella had sensed something, but she didn't say much less make a scene.

  Just as the husband's reason for returning to this home was for Dar, so was he himself now for Dar.

  This is her marriage.

  "Mommy loves you too~"

  "Dar baby~"

  After giving Dar a kiss on the cheek with a smile on her face, Bella walked to the kitchen and pulled open the cabinet door, her smile immediately faltering.

  Less again~!

  The food in the house has been very off lately, always inexplicably small amounts the next day.

  Last night she made a point of counting the amount of food, it was seven white breads and ten black breads.

  There are two black breads missing and one white bread missing.

  Dal was not in the habit of rising at night, and even if he were hungry, Baby Dal would not eat black bread.

  It's that cheap bastard!

  Although Connie kept talking about some kind of contract, she always remained skeptical about it in Bella's mind.

  How could a high and mighty nobleman make a pact with a commoner like Connie.

  The thoughts in Bella's mind leaned more toward the idea that the bitch was Connie's outside fling.

  And sent to that expensive college.

  Eyes glazed over, just in time for that Connie guy to not be back today and take care of that little bitch tonight!

  "Mom~ What's wrong with you?"

  "Ah~"

  The fierce face gradually returned to normal.

  "Excuse me my baby."

  "Mommy's in a daze."

  "This will prepare food for my baby."

  "Okay mom~"

  "I'm hungry~"

  "Uh-huh~"

  "Mommy will be as fast as she can."

  ....

  Today's lesson was so hard, that magic pattern was so hard to carve.

  I'm obviously carving it the way I was taught by Erin-sensei, why do I keep failing, Leah who was walking along thought bitterly.

  Lift your head, in front of you is a familiar small courtyard, is the original already arrived home ah.

  After eating and washing the dishes to go back to the room in more attempts, today must be carved out the magic pattern taught by Erin tutor.

  Mind made up, small hands pushed the door open.

  "Aunt Bella~ I'm home."

  There was only one figure sitting at the dining table within the house; neither Dar nor his aunt was there.

  "Hmm~"

  "Sit over here and eat."

  The footsteps paused, Aunt Bella was so abnormal today.

  "What's the matter, my word doesn't count anymore?"

  Ling Ling's eyes swept over, this was the familiar Aunt Bella.

  "Yes."

  Hanging his head, he walked forward to the table and pulled out a chair and sat down.

  In front of the seat stood a large plate with two loaves of black and white bread.

  "Eat it~"

  "You can have all this and this bread."

  So strange, Aunt Bella was so strange today, had she been caught stealing bread?

  The petite body instantly trembled and her face turned pale.

  "You stole those loaves of bread, didn't you?"

  Sure enough, Auntie found out and buried her little head, waiting for the punishment to come.

  However after waiting half a day there was no expected punishment.

  Carefully, she raised her head, and her aunt's eyes were staring silently at her, and in those eyes... There was no anger.

  "I was too hard on you before."

  "You're growing too."

  "It's normal to eat a lot."

  "So I don't blame you."

  "Eat it~"

  It was so strange, my aunt was strange today, but there it was strange and I couldn't think of it for a moment.

  "Eat by yourself, and remember to wash the dishes when you're done."

  Leaving these words Aunt Bella stood up and walked towards the door of the room.

  Ka-chow.

  All the way until the door to the room closed completely.

  Retract your gaze.

  Sure enough my aunt was strange today.

  Coo~

  Smelling the aroma emanating from the bread, his stomach protested indiscreetly.

  I was hungry by noon.

  Without her aunt around, Leah felt a lot more relaxed too.

  Small hands reach out to grab the white bread.

  "Awwww~"

  One bite.

  Not the same as brown bread.

  The white bread tasted sweet.
