Episode 25. Rules of Travel (1)
“Hello, this is Lois.
I think they were probably very surprised because we disappeared.
But if there is a relationship, there is also a breakup.
We are now leaving to pursue our own path.
I sincerely thank the Grand Duke and his wife for the grace they have shown me.
I hope you quickly overcome the sadness of losing your son, and I also hope you don’t feel too sad that we are gone.
A new relationship will soon find its way to the Archduke and his wife.
-All posted by Royce.
PS: Please show as much love to the new life as you showed to us.”
* * *
The surprise on the wife’s face as she read the letter grew even greater.
This is because not only the neat and correct handwriting, but also the content of the letter did not feel like it belonged to a child at all.
She thought Lois was different from other kids her age, but she didn’t expect it to be like this.
‘Was he such an intelligent child…? … .’
In addition, she was able to realize why the children had left.
‘There’s no way a child like this wouldn’t know about our situation… … .’
Although he was young, he was intelligent and had a quicker sense of humor than anyone else.
As written in the letter, the child named Lois seemed to know that her husband and his wife had lost a child and that they were pouring affection on them because of that.
“ha… “It’s my fault.”
She blamed herself.
He thought about what would happen because of his greed and felt sorry for the children who disappeared in the middle of the night, so he did not know what to do.
On the other hand, he felt very grateful to the children who comforted him by leaving letters.
A sad smile appeared on her lips.
“Thank you… … .”
The Grand Duke’s wife hugged the letter tightly.
But there were also things I didn’t understand.
‘New life?’
This is because it was unclear what Lois was writing down to say about the content of the last postscript.
But it didn’t take long to realize its meaning.
* * *
“I’m giving you a reduction.”
“ah… … !”
The Grand Duke’s wife looked dumbfounded at the priest’s congratulations.
“ma’am!”
Only then, seeing the Grand Duke so happy, was she able to truly accept the fact that she was pregnant.
What came to mind at that moment was the contents of a letter a child left a few weeks ago.
“iced coffee!”
Her face went blank.
‘It was like that, it was like that…’ … ! ‘Those kids knew!’
The ‘new life’ mentioned in the letter was her and her husband’s child.
When everything was understood, great passion arose.
The Archduke embraced his wife.
The wife cried in her husband’s arms.
“Huh. Those kids… I think I knew… so… so… … .”
“ma’am… … .”
The Archduke also read the letter Royce left.
So I knew very well why my wife was crying so much.
The Archduke thought as he hugged his wife.
‘Thank you.’
I don’t know how the children found out that my wife was pregnant.
But the Archduke was just grateful for everything.
A miraculous new life found in the place where the three children left.
It felt like a gift left behind by children.
“I guess those children were fairies sent by God.”
“is it so… “I guess so.”
The couple shed tears of joy.
The slope of the Grand Duke’s castle that was built after a long time.
The Grand Duke, who was very happy, opened his warehouse and made bread and gave it to the people of his territory.
The grains that Finn had sprayed the potion on.
A few months later again.
“Naaaeaaae!”
The loud cries of a boy resound throughout the Grand Duke’s castle.
“Mites!”
Many lives were born around the same time inside and outside the Grand Duke Castle, and the birth rate in the Grand Duke Castle that year broke an all-time high.
A gift from Lois in recognition of the goodwill shown by the Archduke and his wife.
Because of someone’s small mistake, a new sprout sprouted that no one expected.

Meanwhile, Royce and his party run away after sowing the seeds of love in the Grand Duchy Castle.
They were leisurely walking through the snow.
“Hmm… … .”
Lois was lost in thought as she watched the twins walking briskly in front of her.
‘I wasted too much time in the Grand Duke’s castle.’
The already tight time was further shortened due to unexpected circumstances.
‘I guess I’ll have to move quickly from now on.’
Lois stroked her pale chin with a small hand.
‘Even if you don’t do anything, it will take a full 10 years. I don’t know when and where an unexpected situation like this will happen… … .’
It was clear that if an unexpected and unexpected situation like this occurred, their return journey would become longer and longer.
‘First of all, I need information.’
How to travel, distances, how to cross from continent to continent, etc.
A lot of information was needed.
But there was no way to get it right now.
“Kyahahaha!”
“Aang, go away!”
Lois, who was troubled by the lack of information, heard the twins’ innocent voices.
At this, Lois sighed heavily.
“ha… I’m getting old because of my life as a nanny, which I don’t even know about. I’m getting old… … .”
The words of an old man who lived all over the world came out of his plump and cute mouth.
Lois’ eyes turned grim.
‘Do I have to live with these for the next ten years?’
Lois shudders at a terrible thought.
Soon he clenched his fists with determination.
‘no way! Then I might collapse from high blood pressure before I even get home!’
For mental health and longevity, returning home quickly was the answer.
As Lois walked away with a sigh, Khan and Carney rushed to her side.
Two children circled around him, twirling their arms.
“Roy, Roy! “I love traveling!”
“I love it!”
“Let’s do it again, let’s do it again!”
“Let’s do it every day!”
“… … .”
Children who, due to their nature as hatchlings, had to stay at home all the time.
Unlike Lois, who is a survivalist, the twins seem to have found life at home frustrating.
Lois frowned as she looked at the children who were so excited.
“… Even if you don’t do that, you’ll be tired of traveling for 10 years.”
“Can’t we do it for a hundred years instead of ten?”
“that’s right! “A hundred years!”
“… Be quiet, you guys.”
Lois’s sigh deepened as she watched the children talking without knowing what was going on.
“Lois… cheer up.”
Finn clasped both hands and cheered for Lois.
It was then.
Kani put his face close to Lois’s.
“Roy, Roy, aren’t there any monsters?”
“Call my name only once… … .”
“that’s right! In the book, at times like this, at least a monster should appear!”
“You don’t have to come out.”
“I’m confident I’ll be good at catching monsters!”
“You don’t have to catch it.”
“I’m confident I can catch it better than Carney!”
“No, I’m confident I can catch it better than Khan!”
“These! ha… “Do whatever you want.”
Lois shook her head as she watched the two arguing for a while.
Then he muttered in a sullen voice.
“Three dragons are walking around smelling like grass. What kind of monster will come?”
“smell?”
“Do we smell?”
“No, that’s… … .”
When dragons reigned, the dragons imprinted fear of them into the monsters on the ground, and later on, the monsters instinctively avoided dragons.
Lois, who was wondering how to explain it to Khan and Carney, just gave up.
“huh… “It stinks.”
At Royce’s words, Khan and Carney sniffed each other’s heads.
The twins muttered, ‘I don’t smell,’ and tilted their little heads.
Of course, that didn’t last long either.
For these guys, worrying was a luxury.
The twins soon perked up and gathered around Lois.
They asked with bright eyes.
“Roy, Roy, then what about the bandits?”
“that’s right! “What about bandits other than monsters?”
“… “I told you to call me by name only once.”
Monsters, bandits.
Lois had a rough idea of what book the twins were reading.
“I don’t know either.”
Even though she said that, Lois also burst into laughter.
‘Well, no matter what fantasy it is, you’ll encounter monsters, or at least bandits, at least once on a trip like this.’
That was the rule of fantasy travel.
The twins became sullen when they heard Lois say she didn’t know.
“There’s something Roy doesn’t know… … .”
“Roy… I’m disappointed.”
Lois was aggravated by the twins’ gaze as if they didn’t even know.
“You guys, do you think they all know it’s me?”
“But… Roy knew everything until now… … .”
“that’s right… … .”
Lois clicked her tongue and pointed around.
“Would it be easy to rob when the surrounding area is so open and there is nothing but snow? If there was a lot of snow, you could hide, but there’s no snow here, so there’s nowhere to hide! Falling from the sky or rising from the ground… … .”
It was then.
Phuwak-.
White figures, numbering 30, suddenly rose from the ground and surrounded Royce and the others.
Clap clap clap-.
“… “You hit it?”
Lois made a dumbfounded noise as she looked at the men with drawn swords.
The robbers really broke out.
The excited twins shouted.
“appear!”
“It’s a robbery!”
“It popped out of the ground!”
“It’s a mole robber!”
Lois shook her head at the sight of the twins screaming.
‘under… ‘I was too complacent.’
Since the monsters weren’t approaching, I figured there wouldn’t be much danger.
If things were as they were, there was no way I would have known they were hiding nearby.
‘From now on, I’ll have to keep showing off my spirit.’
Because of this incident, Lois was able to reflect on her continued insensitivity to safety.
After spending some time reflecting, Lois looked around at the robbers who had surrounded them.
“huh?”
Lois tilted her head.
I could feel the robbers hesitating as they drew their swords.
Lois, who noticed something, smiled and said.
“hey.”
“… … .”
“You feel really uncomfortable about that right now, don’t you?”
“Tsk!”
Robber No. 1, who was at the forefront, frowned.
He hit the head of the second robber next to him.
“Bitch, they’re kids!”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“I brought 30 people with me… Should I rob the kid?! “What are we going to do now?”
Robber No. 2 responded to Robber No. 1’s bruises by scratching the back of his head shyly.
“Well, seeing as they are wearing the same clothes, they look like children from the same family. What if I take them in and use them as hostages to extort money from them?”
“Hmm… … .”
Robber No. 1 looked distressed at Robber No. 2’s words.
Lois’s smile grew deeper as she watched them fighting each other.
‘They’re newbies.’
For a group of robbers, their behavior was sloppy and they were poorly armed.
Their skills are even worse.
I felt like I could easily defeat them even if I, rather than the twins, picked up the sword.
While Lois was thinking this, Robber No. 1, who had listened to his subordinates’ opinions, nodded.
“good. “That would be better than leaving empty-handed.”
“Yes? What are you doing, kids? “Go tie him up!”
At the command of Robber No. 2, 30 robbers flocked to the scene.
Then Lois raised her hand and shouted.
“for a moment!”
30 robbers standing tall.
Lois asked, looking at them sullenly.
“hey.”
“What is it, kid?”
“Isn’t there something strange?”
“what?”
“It’s just three kids running around in this dangerous place without any guardians. “If it were me, I would feel very uncomfortable, right?”
Robber No. 1 looked slightly surprised at Lois’s relaxed and carefree words.
At this, the corners of Lois’ mouth curled up.
