Chapter 650 – Heart of Fire -1-

The day Kitty first met Roman’s children.

That day was when the women visited the bakery to take their children for their first walk.

─ Luna? Let’s say hello to Kitty here.

─ Bye!

Kitty, who had been helping her with housework until Theodore came, was completely fascinated by Roman’s children that day.

‘Angel! There are angels here!’

Kitty couldn’t help but think the children who received Roman and her wives’ genes were cute.

As time has passed, I still make time to visit the mansion and play with the children as much as possible.

From her parents’ perspective, Kitty’s arrival was welcome.

Roman’s children had unusual talents and abilities, but she followed Kitty and called her older sister.

Thanks to her diligent and repeated training, she was able to be objective about her powers and never hurt Kitty.

Same picture as usual today.

Kitty, who was playing with her children, first became tired of her children’s infinite stamina.

She now has tea time when she sits with Ricke to catch her breath.

“How is Kitty these days?”

“Yes?”

As Rike blurted out her words, Kitty blinked.

“Kitty will be old enough to get married.”

“That’s right. Her mom and dad already brought it up once.”

In most cases, they are sent off as soon as they reach age, so the commoners of the empire tend to get married early.

It’s not particularly strange for stories to come out slowly.

Meanwhile, Kitty knows.

In that common sense, she explains why she is so free.

Kitty knows that Theodore has a lot to do with the fact that her parents only hint at the topic of marriage and do not force it.

“It’s so amazing, the day comes when I can talk about this with Kitty.”

“Even if you say that… I’ve never been in a relationship, but getting married is a completely different story.”

“Hmm?”

Rike draws her meaningful smile.

Sometimes, Kitty can’t predict what Ricke is thinking, so she thinks over the conversation.

‘Marriage…’

Naturally, my eyes start rolling.

Kitty smiled as she watched the children eating bread with their mouths full of milk.

Looking at these children makes her imagine that her marriage will be happy.

“Daddy! Uyuuu!”

“Our princess drank all the milk! Can Kai and Shion cut more bread?”

“Yes!”

“Brother, I will cut the bread.”

“Is that the best food for Sophia? She has the same appetite as Sion.”

Roman was listening to Ricke and Kitty’s conversation, but he couldn’t intervene.

Since it was time for the kids to eat snacks, I had to focus on my wife and I.

“I’m full! Rem, let’s go out and play now!”

“Eh, Ellen too… Go together…!”

Ellen and Rem break away from Gleipnir and Rakshasa and head to the entrance.

When asked to be careful not to get hurt, she cheerfully responds and puts on her shoes.

Kitty’s gaze returns from looking at the happy picture.

Rike continued the conversation.

“Kitty. What about Mr. Theodore?”

“Theodore?”

Kitty asked back to Ricke’s question.

Although it was a question that came up occasionally, it reminded me of the conversation we had just before and made me think of the answer.

Kitty, who was thinking about this and that, smiled slightly as she thought of Theodore.

Ricke’s smile also became brighter.

“I’m still helping. Actually, I don’t know if it’s helping.”

“You look like you have a lot on your mind?”

“Uhmmm… I feel like I want to get a kiss on the cheek from Luna and Nyx.”

“Puh-huh, you two are still very shy, aren’t you? Even though you’re just a stickler for your dad.”

Ricke laughed as if Kitty’s words were funny, but Kitty was sincere without any sense of playfulness.

This is a moment when the mind is so complicated that healing is needed.

‘Theodore…’

When did she start calling herself ‘Theodore’ instead of ‘Horned Brother’?

A bitter taste filled my mouth as I realized that it was relatively recent.

So I remembered the miraculous past.

─ From now on, when you look at me, say everything that comes to mind without adding or subtracting from it, just like you did today. There is no need for politeness. If anything comes to mind as you go about your daily life, write it down.

Theodore said that that day. I will even give you a clear reward, so please do so.

It was a condition that Theodor Spenta, the absolute leader of the Federal State, placed on Kitty to broaden her horizons and thoughts.

‘Thanks to you, I learned how to write. I had a lot of undeserved experiences.’

Kitty thought of Theodor Spenta.

Perhaps because it is a long-lived species, the overall structure has not changed even after several years.

Still pursuing power and moving toward a consistent goal.

He is a big eater who loves meat and has a spontaneous nature. Even though he has been defeated by Roman countless times, he shows no signs of becoming frustrated or discouraged.

But.

Kitty, the daughter of an ordinary baker, grew up going through various changes of heart.

“···.”

Kitty stares at the teacup with her complicated face.

Rike watched the conflicted girl with a happy face, convinced that even this was her inner growth.

‘Even dragons come when I tell them?’

And a sign of flying into the mansion.

When someone appeared to end Kitty’s worries, Rike got up from her seat and headed to the kitchen.

“Tea time with Kitty will end here.”

“Huh? Where are you going, sister?”

Roman and her wives had already noticed that Theodore had appeared in the yard.

The women naturally began preparing drinks and refreshments to serve to the guests.

Rattling!

The door to the mansion opened and a red-colored dragon appeared.

Haha! Attack all of these guys!”

Theodore let out a loud voice from the front door.

Kitty’s eyes widened.

Roman and her wives just laugh every time.

I can’t believe that the absolute power of the federal government is transformed into such a friendly image for children.

“It’s Samjun the dragon!”

“Samchuun!”

When the horned uncle appeared during snack time, the children jumped up from their seats without hesitation.

Even though bread and milk, one of the joys of the day, are still left, a short leg moves towards the front door.

“Oh, it’s my uncle!”

“Wow!”

Unlike Kitty, he doesn’t have to control his strength, so it’s good because he’s a fine uncle.

He is a great uncle who always brings delicious food and even plays with him with all his might.

“Oh, why are you wearing a piggyback?”

“Dogmoo!”

It wasn’t a puppy, but a frost wolf the size of a house, but the reason it didn’t come was simple.

Because they are so harassed by the children that when they go to the mansion, they start whining and running away.

“I’m sleeping at home today. Next time, be sure to bring me.”

“Yaksook!”

“Yes. It’s a promise.”

It’s just embarrassing for Theodore who raised him.

A mutated monster in name and appearance couldn’t overcome the children’s physical strength and stuck out its tongue and fell asleep. I didn’t raise it by feeding it good meat so that it would look like that.

“Yaaaaa——!”

“Haha! These little guys are stronger than before.”

“Ssamjjun! Fire pumezho! Fire!”

“You can’t do it here. If you go outside, I’ll spit fire as many times as I can.”

Roman’s children cling to Theodore’s horns, tail, and wings.

Separately, a picture where the corners of the mouth or ears are stretched out.

“Ka, Kai! Then uncle must cry!”

“Zion…!”

The women quickly got up from their seats to stop him.

Theodore, with his mouth stretched out, made a serious face and raised his hand to calm Roman’s wives.

“Get on the dog. Iveya Idrivi.”

‘It’s okay. It seems as if they are saying, ‘This is how children should be.’

He moves his gaze and sees the girl he was looking for.

“Hidi.”

Theodore calls Kitty.

When Kitty made a face asking what was going on, Theodore moved her tail and wings to get the children’s attention and opened her mouth.

“What’s wrong? Your face doesn’t look good.”

“!”

Kitty was not the only one surprised by that question.

Even Roman and her wives looked surprised.

Isn’t this Theodor Spenta, who had no interest in women’s hearts?

Everyone was impressed that they noticed Kitty’s change even if other women didn’t.

Kitty seemed to be satisfied with just that fact as she shed her worries and smiled as usual.

“No, nothing is wrong.”

“Hmm? I guess so.”

As Theodore puts his hands in his pockets and rustles them, the eyes of the hanging children gather.

I was able to figure out what it was just by sound.

“Candy!”

“It’s candy!”

Roman bought it from Korea and told him to give only one to each child, but Theodore had already forgotten that fact.

Roman also watched the situation with a helpless smile, probably giving up due to the children’s laughter.

“Stand in one line in front.”

The hanging children stand in front of Theodore.

Meanwhile, Luna was proud to put her younger siblings in front of her, saying that she was her best sister.

“Good. Greetings!”

“Samjun! Gamshahamida!”

Each person holds as many as five candies and nods to her belly button.

She holds each candy as if it were a treasure and approaches her parents to brag about it.

“As usual, Luna was the last… Hmm?”

Kitty stands quietly in the line where Theodore is handing out her candy.

Excitement flashed in Roman and her wives’ eyes.

Theodor Spenta and Kitty.

What will Kitty do with that battle fanatic who has lived his whole life pursuing only hit-and-run?

“Theodore.”

“?”

Kitty comes right in front of her and looks up.

Theodore looked at Kitty with a calm expression, wondering what was going on.

“I have a problem, can you please listen to it?”

“Worried? What kind of trouble are you worried about?”

“It’s been a while since I went fishing and I want to talk slowly…”

“There are many talented people here. Don’t worry and speak comfortably.”

A tone of voice that asks how to speak here.

There is no malice in Theodore. They simply don’t have any sense.

But as she grew up and learned many things, Kitty became silent at times like this.

It’s really not easy to push without breaking like Roman and her wives.

So a moment of silence.

Just when Roman and his wives were about to add a word to help Kitty.

Rieke’s daughter Luna slaps Theodore’s thigh! I hit him.

“You idiot! Don’t notice!”
