How To Save A Time Limited Young Master

As soon as she returned from Langbert Mansion, she asked for a cup of cold water from a maid.

But it was still alright at that point in time.

She would have forgotten about it if Zenon’s painting wasn’t sent over.

The painting that he had painted that day was inserted in a luxurious frame and sent it to Viscount Lorca.

Viscount Lorca barely managed to stop Heloise from trying to rip out the bottom corner as soon as she saw the painting.

The only one in the dark, the Viscountess, stared at the scene with widened eyes.

“Shove it into the warehouse right now!”

“Heloise, what happened?”

“Oh, honey. What brings you here? It’s nothing, so go back inside.”

The painting of the girl smiling coyly had no choice but to be placed into a dusty warehouse.

And the next day. The embroidery class that took place on the last day of the week has returned.

This also means that it was the day for her to visit Young Lord Lionerik.

After roughly hearing about the situation from the maid, Viscount Lorca wouldn’t help but watch his daughter’s mood.

“Heloise, a promise is still a promise…”

“What promise? I’ve never made anything like a promise.”

“But if you suddenly stop going over, the Young Master will be upset…”

The problem isn’t about him being upset, but your concern that his health would deteriorate if he used mana again.

Heloise spoke bluntly with a curt expression.

“Now that I’ve thrown a tantrum, the Young Lord wouldn’t want me anymore.”

Contrary to her expectations, there wasn’t any contact from Langbert Mansion.

Although she cancelled her planned visit to the mansion on Friday without a word, his servant didn’t come to pick her up and didn’t scold the Viscount family as her father had feared.

Well, while the significance of such a scolding was secondary, it would have been quite a blow towards Viscount Lorca, whose loyalty the heavens will cry about, but Zenon oddly didn’t display any sort of stance.

After her father became noticeably anxious, her mother soon knew the truth. Her mother’s reaction was calmer than Heloise had expected.

“It must have been hard to have to attend to a child that’s older and of higher status than you all of a sudden, Heloise.”

Her mother first comforted Heloise for her hardships before raising the topic.

Despite his high status, he was ousted to the back room, becoming merely the Young Lord of a ducal family. Although he was two years older, considering the fact that she possessed this body, that guy was nothing more than a kid to Heloise.

“What are you going to do next week? According to your father, there’s a promise to visit three times a week. Even if you didn’t go on Friday because you’re angry, wouldn’t the Young Lord of Lionerik be waiting next week?”

“I don’t know. Call for those stupid kids again and make them fight for jewels?”

He’s losing his family’s wealth, his health, and his handsome looks.

Her mother might have felt sorry, so she held on to Heloise and persuaded her, who was sullen.

“Don’t be like that. Let’s talk about this again after relieving your mood. Since you’d said that you have a weekend appointment with Isaac, it wouldn’t be bad for you to meet him.”

“Oh right, Isaac!”

When Isaac’s name appeared, as if a light bulb was turned on, Heloise’s face brightened.

Isaac is Heloise’s old childhood friend.

He was one of the few friends that Heloise, a solemn possessor who didn’t like impertinent children, liked.

Isaac was a friendly, upright, patient, and all in all, a kind boy.

As he tended to be blindly obedient to whatever Heloise planned, she thought of him as a pretty confidant, but the people around her praised her for having a good relationship with friends.

“It’s already today?”

“Alright. Quickly go and relieve your mood with Isaac before coming back.”

Pretending that she couldn’t beat her mother’s pestering, Heloise left the mansion.

By now, Isaac might be waiting for Heloise to come.

She headed towards the mansion of Count Velazquez, where Isaac lived, in a carriage.

“Heloise!”

As soon as she entered the mansion, Isaac ran over excitedly as if he was a dog welcoming its owner, just like she had expected.

Though, he was a bit big for a dog, so she should change it. It’s more appropriate to call him a large dog…

Heloise liked the immense pride that surged for no particular reason when she took good care of Isaac, who has a careless stature.

It was the same today.

“I’ve been waiting for you. I’ve already prepared the tea in the tea garden, so let’s head there quickly.”

“Long time no see, Isaac.”

The two seated in the tea garden and began to catch up.

According to Isaac, half a year ago he was brought to the territory and underwent successor classes according to his father’s orders.

“Oh, my. Who would have thought that the reason you asked me to come over was because of the successor classes?”

Dumbfounded, Isaac burst into laughter. Still, he seemed to have tanned and became healthier during the time they didn’t meet, so he looked better.

“Heloise, did anything special happen?”

“Anything special?”

Of course there was. She couldn’t say there wasn’t.

“Do you know which family my dad is loyal to?”

“Father? Viscount Lorca? …Uh, Lionerik?”

“Yes. I was assigned to be a playmate there.”

“What?”

Isaac’s eyes widened in surprise.

Despite his unusual countenance, he didn’t seem to know anything about what happened at the Langbert Mansion.

“Are you talking about Young Lord Lionerik? And not the daughter of Marquis Velks?

“Marquis Velks can’t officially use the name Lionerik. I went to Langbert Mansion.”

“Oh my goodness, Heloise.”

“It seems like you know of Zenon’s temper.”

It was hard to say that Zenon was overbearing.

The way he spent money and his mana recklessly after being judged as time limited was more like someone that has given up on everything.

“…I’ll just tell you about the things that I’ve picked up here and there.”

From how Isaac disliked talking about others, it seems that he didn’t want to talk badly about Zenon.

“It’s probably true. He gathered all the children in the world and instigated them to fight each other, giving something like a reward to these people. He told me to join them.”

“……”

Isaac held his forehead with a difficult expression.

Heloise could tell what he wanted to say from that expression.

It meant that Isaac didn’t want to be insulting, but what a troublesome young master he was.

“So you went there?”

“Don’t you know my personality? I left immediately. But the next time, he called for me only.”

“And then?”

“So…”

She can’t say that she wanted to tell a thousand stories, but the pattern was already seen through by the start of the fourth one.

Even if Isaac can keep a secret.

“Anyways, it didn’t end well. I said that I wouldn’t go there anymore, the Young Lord didn’t respond, and my house was in an uproar. Both my mom and my dad.”

“That’s understandable. You’ve had a hard time, Heloise…”

“If I was as amiable and friendly as you, the situation would have been better. Or I just had an easygoing personality from the beginning.”

Isaac smiled awkwardly, at a loss of what he should do.

Heloise put down her teacup and let out a deep sigh.

“I have to go to Young Lord Lionerik next Monday. I pretended to be unreasonable with my parents, but I had no choice but to go. I don’t know what kind of torment I’ll suffer if I go.”

“Haha…”

“If only I could go with you. Isaac, you have a kind personality, so I think you can calm that temper.”

Heloise was just speaking in passing.

She was just grumbling without any expectations.

But Isaac’s words were unexpected.

“Should I?”

“Huh?”

“Should I… we go together and meet the Young Lord?”

At the words that he stammered softly with his head lowered, Heloise raised her head, surprised for the first time.

Perhaps out of awkwardness, Isaac brushed his hand against the back of his neck, but he wasn’t someone that said empty words.

“You’re going to meet him? What are you going to do after meeting him?”

“Well… I can persuade him to get along with you a little better… Or I’ll examine what kind of person he is…”

“Why do you have to examine him?”

“……”

At her words, Isaac couldn’t answer for a moment as his neck turned red.

“Isaac?”

“Anyways, I might be able to play the mediator between you and Young Lord Lionerik. If it was an uncomfortable proposal… I apologise, Heloise.”

“Why are you apologising? You don’t have to apologise at all! I like it.”

Although Heloise said that she liked it, she was still bewildered. Why was he coming with her?

While they weren’t from families that would find the jewels that Zenon threw around regrettable, but no matter what, she would get a mental illness from looking at Zenon.

Nevertheless, Heloise felt much lighter at his words.

It would be much better for them to go together than to go alone.

“Really? Then can I tell them that I’ll be going with you? To both my father and the Langbert Mansion.”

“Yes, let’s do that.”

‘If we go without prior notice, Isaac alone might be shut out at the door, even if he isn’t a strange person.’

If he said no after she contacted them, then there’s no choice, but if he said yes, it was great for her.

Heloise nodded with a light heart.

The next sip of tea she drank was delicious, even though it was cold.
