“A help for the Lord of Barbatos …?”  

“Yes, for my second son who has fallen ill.”  

I couldn’t quite understand what Godmother Diana was talking about. 

What does the baby Griffins have anything to do with the collapsed Lord of Barbatos?  

Andras, who was listening to the story next to me, tried to sort it out for me.  

“I think Godmother should explain it in more detail. If you want help with curing the Lord, I don’t think there’s a reason to ask Sihyeon.” 

“No! I know, but Sihyeon is the only one who can help my second son!” 

Godmother Diana said firmly.  

The shaken voice was so desperate that everyone listening trembled slightly.  

She soon calmed her emotions and lowered her head slightly.  

“I got emotional and showed you an ugly side of me. I’m so sorry.” 

“No, it’s fine, Godmother.’  

Andras took a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her. 

His thoughtful behavior surprised Godmother Diana a little and she smiled warmly for a moment. 

“You’ve really improved your skills in dealing with a Lady?” 

“It’s not a skill, Godmother. It’s a basic courtesy,” 

Andras replied in a relaxed manner. 

The smile on the godmother’s face grew wider.

Thanks to this, the slightly stuffy atmosphere melted away.  

Godmother Diana briefly wiped the tears from her eyes with the handkerchief she received and continued the story again. 

“It’s only natural for you to think my request is strange. Please listen a little more to why I brought this up to a person who isn’t a professional therapist.” 

 Judging from her attitude, she seemed to have something to tell. 

We waited for the next story with a serious face again. 

“It’s not well known to the outside world, but the Barbatos had an incurable disease from generation to generation. The symptoms have been passed down since the time of the first head of the Barbatos family.” 

“……” 

“This incurable disease can lead to an unknown seizure, a decline in physical ability, and even paralysis. Most of all, they can’t handle their mana, and they can’t use any magic.”  

My expression grumbled more and more as Godmother Diana said the symptoms of the incurable diseases. 

Hmm?  

Strangely, the symptoms felt familiar. 

“Then the Lord…”  

“Yes, he was weakened by the shock of losing his child and wife one after another and collapsed after suffering from the symptoms I just mentioned.”  

Andras frowned and responded that something did not seem to make sense. 

“……I don’t know much about the history of the Barbatos, but the story of Barbatos suffering from incurable disease. I’ve never heard of it. Is the terminally ill really passed from generation to generation?”  

Lady Diana answered in a calm voice.  

“This disease was handed down along with the cure from the first Lord to the next generation. It’s just that we lost the cure in later generations and it became an incurable disease.”  

“You mean you were able to cure the disease?” 

“Yes. The family records say that the first Lord overcame the disease.” 

The conversation was interrupted for a while and there was silence.  

Perhaps everyone was busy organizing the stories they had just heard. 

After looking around for a while, I overcame the heavy atmosphere and spoke with difficulty.  

“Excuse me… I have a question.”  

“…??” 

Godmother Diana gave me a soft look as if to speak comfortably. 

“The more I hear about it, the more I think that I won’t be of much help to the sick Lord. I think it’s best to find a professional therapist or the lost cure.”  

“No,… Except for Sihyeon, there is no one who can cure my son.” 

Godmother Diana said, looking at the baby Griffins sleeping in my arms.  

“This is what the record says about the cure. The first Lord, who was suffering from the disease, was born again with Griffin’s recognition, and his descendants will be able to escape the curse forever by getting recognition from Griffin…”  

“You mean Griffin is the cure?”  

“We don’t know exactly. We can only vaguely guess that the Griffins hold the key to the only way out of the curse.”  

I looked at the little Griffins in my arms with a complex look. 

 I just want Grify and Finny to grow up happy and healthy, but it seems so much is still tied to these vulnerable children. 

 Godmother Diana asked again with a desperate look. 

“The only hope for saving my son now is the griffins. And Sihyeon is the only one who can take care of the baby Griffins. Please help my son open his eyes again. Ughhh!”  

She bowed deeply to me and poured out tears.  

Even if she had a high status, her heart for her sick son was no different from any other mother’s. 

I was confused because I remembered my mother at home for no reason. 

Andras and Alfred, who were next to me, had a similar look on their faces. 

“Madam Godmother… …Calm down.” 

“Oh… …ughh…” 

Bebeto looked sadly at Godmother Diana, then stood up and knelt down toward me.  

“You are the only one who can help the Godmother now.” 

“Wha….?”  

“Please help our Lord, I’m begging you. I’ll serve on the farm for the rest of my life.”  

“Okay, I got it. Get up and talk.” 

Alfred forced Bebeto to stand up on his feet on my behalf, who was still in panic. 

He stood up and kept asking me for help. 

I looked at Andras and Alfred. 

They also did not seem to be able to judge the current situation. 

After all, it’s up to my choice… …

I looked at the little griffins in my arms. 

Honestly, I wanted to go down and go back to the farm with the children right away. 

The thought of the pain that Grify and Finny would have suffered in the Barbatos family still drove me mad. 

In reality, however, it seemed difficult to take the children out. 

If I turned down the request of Godmother Diana, of course, they wouldn’t give away the baby griffins…  

And I couldn’t leave Grify and Finny here. 

The children’s future was not clear. 

 Even if I thought deeply about it, there were not many options given to me. 

After a long thought, I cleared up my complicated mind.  

Then I opened my mouth, looking at Godmother Diana, who calmed down.  

“I understand what Godmother said. I’ll do my best to take care of the baby griffins.” 

“Then, really?”  

“Thank you, Sihyeon! Thank you very much!”  

Godmother Diana’s face brightened at my words, and Bebeto shouted and rejoiced. 

“Instead! I have a condition.”  

“What is it? Tell me anything. I’ll give you everything I can.”  

“I can’t take the kids back to the farm, right?”  

“I can’t let you do that with my power. Everyone is sensitive about the succession race, so they’ll all protest.” 

As expected, it seemed difficult to take the baby griffins to the farm. 

A situation where I have to stay here to take care of the children.  

In order to ensure the safety of children as much as possible, I brought out the conditions that I had in mind. 

“First, please respect my words when it comes to taking care of the baby Griffins. The second is to provide as much support as possible for necessary items.  Lastly, make sure that no one forcibly summons or approaches the baby Griffins until they are fully recovered.”  

Three big conditions were put forward. 

“I will accept Sihyeon’s conditions. I won’t let anyone interfere using all my power.” 

“I will stop them even if I had to physically block them myself…” 

Godmother Diana nodded firmly and showed a strong will. 

Bebeto, who was next to her, also added later, saying he would help with anything.  

As soon as the conversation ended, Godmother Diana stood up.  

“I have a little more to share, but I’ll put it off for a while. I’m going to have to stop the family from getting access to the baby Griffins and Sihyeon right now.” 

She expressed her strong will in a powerful voice. 

She told us to leave a message to the servants if we had anything to ask.

Saying that she quickly left the room with Bebeto.  

When only the farm members were left in the room, I sighed deeply and muttered lamentably. 

“Ha… It’s gotten complicated.”

“You dealt with it well, though. Godmother Diana will be able to meet your requirements.”  

“Uh, If I want to take care of the children here, for the time being, I won’t be able to go home, let alone the farm. Had I known this would happen, I would have done a few urgent farm chores before coming…….”  

“People on the farm will understand. They will also explain it to your mother at home.” 

“Well, won’t the boss be mad at me for causing an accident again?” 

“Hahaha!”  

We burst into a small laugh as we recalled the grumbling Kaneff. 

While Andras and I were talking, Alfred remained silent for some reason. 

“Elaine? What’s wrong? What’s the matter?’ 

“Not really. There’s one strange thing.” 

“……?” 

“……?” 

Andras and I looked at Alfred curiously. 

“If everything that Godmother Diana said was true, then those who are competing for succession are not completely free from the incurable disease, right? Then, why did they treat the little griffins so carelessly?” 

“It’s…” 

“Ummm…” 

When asked by Alfred, Andras and I were frozen for a moment. 

It certainly didn’t add up. 

No matter how much they want to be the Lord of the family, what’s the point of being terminally ill? 

Logically, there was no reason to put the baby Griffin in this state.  

The deepening agony broke with a small cry. 

– Biip… Biip? 

– Biip!  

“Are you up already? Are you hungry?”  

“I’ll ask the people outside to get us some more Hap.” 

“I’ll call the farm for now. Maybe we need more Hap.” 

We decided to put off the lingering questions for a while and focus on the cute children in front of us.  

– Biip Biip! 

– Biip Biip! 

– Biip Biip! Biip! 

They kept crying looking at me as soon as they woke up. 

It was as if they were expressing their sadness about missing me all this time.  

“I’m so sorry. I’ll never leave you guys alone, so don’t worry.” 

I whispered to the little griffins with sincere apologies. 

As if my feelings got delivered, they stopped crying and rubbed themselves in my arms.  

It felt like they were trying to put their faith in me once again, so my heart felt warm.

I petted the fluffy hair, which had become slightly crumbly, and made a sad smile.  

I vowed in my heart that I would be a protective shield so that these children without parents would not get caught up in useless things.
