Chapter 3

The next morning, Mary and her brothers went out on an inspection of Feydella. Using the handbook as reference, they had breakfast at the café with seasonal tarts, then climbed up a large hill that overlooked the entire city. They made plenty of stops in other places too, peering into shops that drew their curiosities. The three siblings got along well, chatting often, jesting around, and having an all-around pleasant time.

“This is a harsh journey for the succession war, right?” Mary murmured with a frown while staring at the cover of the handbook. As usual, the heavy lettering on it read, “Handbook for the Next Family Head’s International Tour.” Anyone who glanced at it would’ve felt their chest tighten, inferring that the tome detailed a severe journey.

Mary looked over her shoulder, where her brothers were sitting on a bench. They were having a casual conversation, and when they noticed her looking, they waved. She was certain that if she approached them, they would give her a warm, doting welcome. Nobody would’ve thought this was a scene from the middle of a succession war. If anything, it was closer to a friendly family trip.

“I feel really uncomfortable right now, Adi...”

“R-Really? I feel not even an ounce of discomfort right now.”

“You’re feigning ignorance, aren’t you?” Mary glowered at him, and he openly avoided her gaze.

He ummed and aahed incomprehensibly for several seconds, then finally smiled serenely and rubbed her shoulder. His eyes were fixed on her. “You’re just a worrywart, Mary. Come on, let’s get back to your brothers.”

In response to his usual methods, Mary glared at him. “You’re not fooling me,” she told him. She wouldn’t let him deceive her just because he’d used her name. To make her point, she hardened her glare even more.

Adi moved his hand from her shoulder to her waist. She was about to ask what he was doing, when he suddenly pulled her closer, and her body bumped into his. “Don’t be so cold. Come, Mary. Let’s go,” he encouraged, his voice slightly lower than usual. The sound of it tickled her ear, and then Adi began walking, still holding her close.

Mary couldn’t resist him easily like this, and so could only rush after him in an attempt to keep up with his large strides. “Ugh! Just so you know, I’m not going to fall in love with you all over again and let you deceive me when you’re being so pushy!” she complained while being completely coaxed and deceived.

Needless to say, Adi was inwardly striking a celebratory pose. And although he’d managed to gloss over his previous words by being coercive, his ears had gotten just as red as his hair.

Once Mary got back to her brothers, she had intended on chatting to them a bit longer. But instead, other people’s voices interrupted them.

A group of men approached, claiming that they happened to be passing by. A few of them held up their hands in a friendly gesture, while others only bowed from afar.
