'May your wife not only be spendthrift but even have the shortest height in the whole empire!!' Evan only felt better when she had cussed him enough in her heart.

She raised her head only to look at the carl who was smiling from ear to ear. He was looking like he had found the biggest treasure when he touched the horses and they only leaned in to his touch.

Leo let go of him and his small feet slowly touched the ground.

"Thank you!

" He raised his head and looked at Leo with sincerity that surprised him. A small smile formed on his face too which he hid in a seconds.

"Mmm, shall we go now?

" He turned and walked towards the carriage when the guard came running and opened the door of the carriage for them.

After entering the carriage, he looked at the door but instead of Evan, Carl entered and surprisingly sat beside him.

When Evan entered, she took the seat on the other side followed by Martin.

'This brat! Did he do that intentionally?

" his eyes narrowed on the face of the boy who was still giving him a sincere smile and sighed.

Due to him, Evan and Martin were sharing the seat now.

His eyes narrowed on Martin who whispered something and Evan nodded and giggled and then whispered something back. As if they were having their personal joke, their voices were not clear, which only irritated him further.

If it continued, he was not sure when he would turn his threat into reality and throw her out of the carriage.

"Ride faster, why are you being so tardy?

" The coachman flinched when he heard the cold words of his master and pulled the reins further.

Though he was sure that the carriage was going at his previous speed.

Even Evan who was busy in having a chat with martin raised her head and looked at his dark face.

'Who had irked this dark lord this time!' one thing was Evan sure of, that Leo had more tantrums than any old lady she had ever met.

"Wow! It is so amazing!

" oblivious to the awkward silence in the carriage, Carl peeped out of the window when he heard the galloping sound of the horses. The carriage was running at his speed yet it did not shake at all, that showed that it was a luxurious and expensive one, not like they had taken a few times to travel to another town.

Even Martin could not help but notice the luxury Evan was living in. Yet when he looked at her face, she looked the same as Evan, he knew.

There was no hint of arrogance or pride on her bright face.

"Why are we driving so fast, my lord?

" Evan asked as she asked Carl to not take his head out of the window but he did not listen to her and continued to look out.

Leo whose eyes were narrowed on the face of Martin, turned to look at her,

"Why? Did you not say that you did not want the old lady to wait? Huh

" he asked with such a tone as if she was the one responsible for their hurry.

No matter how she ponders over his words, he seems to be right.

"Then, can you at least ask Carl to sit properly!

" she pointed at the boy whose knees were touching the seat and his upper body was already out of the carriage.

Leo tilted his head as he looked at Carl and then at her as if waiting for her to complete her sentence.

She gnashed her teeth as she read his eyes and muttered,

"would you please help me in taking care of Carl, my lord!

" In the end she even looked at him with pleading eyes and passed a cutesy smile to him.

"Carl!

"

"I did not want to. I am sure nothing would happen. Evangi has the habit of worrying too much!

" the boy muttered even before Leo could say anything. He was enjoying the best moment of his life.

He knew he would never get the luxury to enjoy this kind of carriage. His unruly hair that was flowing with the breeze was giving him an exceptional feeling, he could not explain.

"Tsk! I was going to say that if you are so interested, I can take you horse riding when you visit the palace. Who would have thought that you are happy with just sticking your head out of the carriage and did not have any other hopes.

" he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, but his words were like a lightning that hit straight at the head of the boy.

He moved in with the speed of lightning and even covered the windows with the curtains.

"Are you serious, my lord? Would you let me sit on a horse?

" His eyes were sparkling and he was looking at Leo like a small puppy asking for a bone from his master.

Leo could not help but nod and Carl could not help his emotions and hugged Leo.

"Thank you, thank you, my lord.

" His happiness was truly addictive and brought a smile to Evan's face. She was grateful that he handled the kids well as she was afraid that he would threaten him or scare him.

But both Martin and Evan took the words of Leo as an empty promise to coax the kid. They both knew that there were so many protocols that a commoner had to follow if he wanted to go to a noble house for a visit. Even she was only allowed to stay there because she was the esteemed wife of Leo due to safety reasons.

Carl only let go of Leo after a few seconds but then he raised his head and thanked Leo once again whose eyes flickered but he nodded his head.

"I will send my aide on Saturday to bring you to the place. But mind you the offer is only for you!

"
