A male Demon who came from the Barbatos family suddenly declared to us that he would take the baby griffins. 

It was such a ridiculous act, but I suppressed my emotions as much as possible and asked back calmly. 

“What do you mean all of a sudden?” 

“Literally what I said. We’re going to take the griffins that we left behind for a while.” 

Rather, he answered confidently with an expression saying, [What’s the problem?] 

He came out so confidently that I lost my words and made an absurd face. 

While I paused, Kaneff continued the conversation on my behalf. 

“Hey, what’s your name?” 

“I’m Roedin Barbatos.” 

“Since he doesn’t have a name in the middle, he’s not a direct descendant, but looking at his stiff neck like that, he seems to belong to the family?” 

“…..” 

The male Demon, who introduced himself as Roedin, stopped speaking at Kaneff’s words and expressed affirmation by nodding. 

“I think Sihyeon did a pretty good job for your family. And isn’t it a little rude to come out of nowhere and ask for the griffins that we’re raising?” 

“I’m sorry about that. I’m asking for your understanding because there’s a big problem within the family.” 

“What’s the problem? And what does that problem have to do with taking the baby griffins so quickly?” 

“It’s family’s problem. Please understand that it is not easy to reveal the inside story to outsiders.” 

“Oh my gosh…” 

Roedin refused to elaborate, saying it was an internal matter within the family.

Kaneff made an outright dissatisfied expression when he came up with an excuse that was comfortable for them.

Following Kaneff’s footsteps, Andras calmly attempted to talk. 

“No matter how much it is within the family, Sihyeon is the one who helped the Barbatos fulfill their long-cherished desire. I think he can ask for an explanation if it’s related to baby griffins?” 

“I understand what you mean. However, as I said before, we cannot disclose the affairs inside the family to outsiders. Instead, we will make additional compensation as an apology.” 

Roedin said to us in a word, with an attitude as if saying, [Take the money and give the babies.]

Not only did Andras’ expression, which had been kept calm, distorted, but Lia and Alfred also showed blatant hostility.

I realized that this conversation was no longer meaningful. 

In the first place, the owner of the baby griffins was the Barbatos family, so it was inevitable. 

“I won’t stop you from taking Grify and Finny. But the children will be under a lot of stress if the guardian and environment change suddenly. Please give me some time to prepare to reduce the impact.” 

“I’m sorry. I was ordered to bring back the baby griffins immediately. Leave the rest to the Barbatos.” 

“… “

I tried to make a suggestion in a solicited manner, but Roedin declined the suggestion in a roundabout way. 

The way he treated the baby Griffins, who are in the most sensitive period made me angry. 

Didn’t they say they’ve been working hard to revive the family symbol? 

But then why are they taking the baby griffins without any care? 

I couldn’t understand their behavior at all. 

The anger that had been rising gradually subsided, and before I knew it, I began to worry more about the baby griffins. 

“I see. Then give me a little time. I’ll pack the things needed so that Grify and Finny can adapt well elsewhere.” 

“Okay. I’ll wait for that much.” 

On the contrary, Roedin’s attitude towards me as if he was kind to me, made sparks fly in the eyes of the farm members. 

At that moment, Roedin, who looked calm all the time, had no choice but to flinch. 

I was in a hurry to pick up the stuff that the little griffins used. 

I brought a large blanket, a fluffy cushion, and a few bottles of Hap so that they can eat enough for a while. 

As I was worried about Grify and Finny, I packed this and that, and before I knew it, I had a lot of luggage in my hands.. 

“This is a spoon used to feed children. Since they’ve adjusted to this, you can put the Hap in here little by little, and the Hap needs to be heated a little more than the body temperature and cooled down. And this cushion … ” 

I spent a short time with the children and tried to convey even the little things I found out. But…… 

“I get it roughly. We have a lot of records of Griffins in our family, so you don’t have to worry about it.” 

He didn’t think what I was saying was very important, so he heard it in one ear and let it slip through the other ear. 

Rather than getting angry at Roedin’s behavior, I was just worried that if my words weren’t conveyed properly, the kids would have a hard time adapting.

Kaneff, who couldn’t stand my anxious appearance, stepped up with fierce energy. 

CLING CLANG

The chain created by Kaneff quickly bound not only Roedin but also his entourage. 

“Ugh…” 

“What!? we are from the Barbatos….” 

Under the pressure of Kaneff’s brutal force, Roedin broke his cool face and began to sweat. 

“Say what Sihyeon just said again. If you get even one thing wrong, I’ll engrave it on your skin and will throw you in front of the front door of Barbados.” 

“That… That… I don’t have a good memory.” 

He managed to open his mouth and increase his excuses. 

However, Kaneff’s mouth only had a more evil smile. 

“Really? Then I’ll have to engrave it more clearly. Andras! Get me a Knife right now. Can I show off my writing skills after a long time?” 

“Do you want me to take out the one with a big blade? Or do you want me to take out a small one?” 

“I heard he has a bad memory. That means we have to engrave a lot, shouldn’t it be the small one?” 

“I see,” 

Andras said with a calm expression and pulled out a small-edged working knife. 

“You can’t get the place dirty because of blood, so I’ll bring a towel.” 

Alfred stood up, saying he would bring a towel. 

Lia covered Speranza’s eyes and ears and hugged her tightly in her arms. 

Roedin’s face turned pale at the behavior of the farm members. 

He squeezed his voice out. 

“You…. you can’t do this. I’m here on behalf of the Barbatos.” 

“LOUD, quick, just tell me what Sihyeon said. I’ll carve it for you whenever you get it wrong.” 

“Huh?” 

“Haa… stop it, Boss. I’m sure that’s enough.” 

“What do you mean? Didn’t you hear what he just said? He has a bad memory, doesn’t he?” 

“I’ll tell him one more time and he’ll memorize it, won’t you?”

“That’s right! If you tell me one more time, I can memorize all of it.” 

“…!” 

CLING CLANG! 

Kaneff’s chain disappeared again, and Roedin and his entourage who experienced a near-death experience breathed a sigh of relief. 

“I’ll tell you again.” 

“Yeah. I’ll listen.” 

It was a little bit radical, but with Kaneff’s help, I was able to convey information about the little Griffin to Roedin. 

After the talk, I finally took Grify and Finny out of the room. 

The two kids cried loudly for the first time. 

I laid out their usual cushions and towels in a wooden box brought by Roedin, and carefully put the Grify and Finny on top.

Biip Biip? 

Biip! Biip! 

The baby griffins looked at me and cried even louder. 

It was painful to look at the frightened eyes of the two. 

“Thank you for your hard work. We’ll take care of the baby Griffins from now on in the Barbatos family.” 

“Yes… I look forward to your kind cooperation.” 

“We’re busy with family affairs, so we’ll take our leave.” 

Roedin and his entourage hurriedly packed the baby Griffin and the belongings and exited the farm building with an expression that was unable to tell whether they are busy with family affairs or whether they are running away because of fear of Kaneff.

As they left the building, the anxious cries of Grify and Finny continued to break my heart. 

“Papa Papa… Why are they taking Grify and Finny? Hik…Hik …we’re only close now… …I wanted to play outside when they grew up… …and……” 

Tears filled Speranza’s eyes. 

I tried to soothe her by hugging her tightly. 

However, as if it was hard to resist her sadness, Speranza began to cry in my arms. 

Speranza’s crying sound rang out on the farm. 

Lia’s eyes were red and she stroked Speranza’s back, while Alfried also hovered around Speranza, not knowing what to do. 

Andras didn’t show much emotion. 

He seemed to be thinking deeply about something as he looked at where the people from Barbatos had left. 

“That f*ckers! I shouldn’t have let them go so easily…” 

Kaneff bit his lips as if he couldn’t get rid of his anger. 

When I looked at Speranza, I couldn’t hide the sad feelings on my face. 

I knew that one day the little griffins would leave, but they left earlier than I thought, and I must have given them more affection than I thought. 

I thought I’d need some time to erase the traces of the fluffy dolls that rush to me whenever they see me. 

A few days after Grify and Finny left, the farm quickly returned to its original routine. 

Considering that we spent a short time with the baby Griffins, maybe it was natural. 

However, unlike other farm members, Speranza was still depressed. 

The farm seemed to have returned to normal life on the outside, but the depressed atmosphere still lingered on the inside. 

I was also working a little dazed state, and I came to my senses at the sound of wings hovering around me 

– Brrrrrr!! 

“Oh! Bumble!” 

A bee circled around and landed on my palm! 

Bumble waddled his plump body and moved around on my palms. 

Bumble’s cute greeting created a small smile on my dry face. 

And soon, another flapping sound was heard from my shoulder. 

I quickly noticed the identity of the pleasant scent flowing through the wind. 

“Gyuri?” 

“Long time no see! Popi” 

“I know… …what brings you both here at the same time?” 

To my question, Gyuri answered in a slightly worried tone. 

“You keep making a blank expression, and we were so worried that we came to see you! Popi” 

– Brrrrrrr! 

I think Gyuri and Bumble both came because my condition seemed strange. 

I felt sorry for making them worry for nothing. 

“It’s okay. I was just lost in thought for a second.” 

“Really, Popi?” 

“Yeah, really.” 

“Speranza is also always out of energy. Popi! She doesn’t even come out often these days, Popi!” 

“Gyuri keep talking to Speranza. Then she’ll be able to cheer up and will soon return to her old self.” 

“Alright, popi! I’ll make Speranza cheer up. popi!” 

Bumble also cheered Gyuri with his wings. 

I felt grateful for the two who made me smile for the first time in a while and gently patted them. 

While petting them, the hairs of the baby Griffins suddenly came to mind. 

I wondered if they’re doing well. 

Since no news is good news, they’re probably doing well, right?

“SIHYEON” 

Just when I was thinking about Grify and Finny, Andras came running while calling my name. 

Surprised, Bumble and Gyuri flew and disappeared quickly. 

I tilted my head and asked Andras. 

“What’s the matter, Andras?” 

“I got a call from the Barbatos.” 

“Really? How’s Grim and Finny doing?”

“That’s… I don’t think the situation is good. The Barbatos family asked to bring Sihyeon urgently.” 

“…….?!” 

The smile Gyuri and Bumble gave me as a gift was blurred again by the ominousness that filled my heart. 

It would have been better if there had been no news…
