【Chapter 47】

Sway, sway.

Aisha’s chubby legs swayed beneath the arm of the man walking into the secluded forest.

The kitten following behind had its tail swishing in question marks.

In fact, what the cat had been waiting for wasn’t the man called the King and Pose Duke.

His target was the squinty-eyed man who had been eyeing Aisha from earlier.

‘I wonder if that’ll be enough.’

Brown eyes clouded by potion stared intently at the man as if appraising goods.

Originally, the cat didn’t know much about humans.

But he had realized while trapped in Ahili’s Circus that humans mostly lived in groups.

But that man.

The squinty-eyed man.

The guy who had been chasing them from the moment Aisha got in the carriage with him.

That man didn’t smell like other people. As if he was born to die silently someday.

‘That’s why he looked promising, so I followed him.’

But why is that guy acting familiar with Aisha?

Actually, the cat had been timing things from the moment Aisha took him out to the garden.

If Aisha let her guard down even a little. He was going to dash at the guy with a thud!

‘Aisha ruined everything.’

The cat glanced at Aisha with a sulky look.

‘She suddenly chased after me and now he knows everything.’

Hmph.

The cat suddenly felt annoyed at Aisha. If only Aisha hadn’t chased after him, things would have ended quickly.

By the way, does that guy know Aisha? Where exactly is he taking her?

If that man was related to Aisha, then unfortunately, he’d have to wait and see.

Humans are social animals. They get sad when people related to them die.

‘So let’s wait a little.’

Though he felt a bit impatient, fortunately he was a generous-hearted cat.

‘If I don’t kill him and wait, maybe he’ll give me something good like that person called the physician.’

Plop—

The cat quietly bent his legs into a loaf position and hummed inwardly.

‘I’m a good cat.’

That’s when it happened.

“Around here should be deserted.”

The guy looked around and put Aisha down, then began binding her hands.

When the child’s tender wrists were scraped by the obviously rough rope.

Aisha, who had her eyes closed, frowned.

“!”

The watching cat’s eyes widened, but the man didn’t seem to care and bound her feet too.

‘That rope. I’ve seen it at Ahili’s Circus.’

He remembered how just touching it stung your hands and scraped skin when rubbed.

Especially that kind of rope was also used at Ahili’s Circus to tie the muzzles of disobedient magical beasts.

‘Isn’t that what they use to punish magical beasts?’

The cat in loaf position tilted his head.

‘If he knows Aisha, why is he tormenting her? If she dies like this, how will she answer my questions?’

“Hey—”

And the man even.

“Wake up, you spy brat. Hey—!”

Rudely slapped Aisha’s cheek with his huge palm.

“Why did someone who should be in the North come to the center? You even ignored the secret message I sent and eavesdropped on His Grace’s conversation?”

Slap, slap.

The child’s cheek, which had been like white flour, began turning red.

At that sight, the cat with narrowed eyes slowly stood up.

Now it was certain.

That guy wasn’t the same type as the one Aisha called the physician.

Rather, he was like Ahili’s staff who had locked him in a cage and starved him when he was powerless.

In that case—

“Are you really sleeping?”

Just as the gritting man was about to bring down his raised palm hard.

“Gack.”

Something white that suddenly leaped up bit into the man’s throat.

“Krgh. Gah…!”

The man who was about to scream from the tingling pain as if poison had spread through his throat suddenly stiffened like stone with his mouth open and fell backward.

“Meow—”

The cat’s satisfied cry spread like a song.

In the quiet forest.

The man who had become a corpse was dragged away through the vines and disappeared.

* * *

At that moment.

“…Ugh.”

My whole body was stinging.

It felt like sharp leaves were brushing against scraped skin with exposed flesh.

As consciousness rose and I could feel sensations, this time my right cheek burned like it was on fire. Like I’d had a wisdom tooth pulled.

‘What? I chased the baby. After hearing the conversation between the King and Pose Duke…’

After that. Everything after that was deleted!

‘Don’t tell me I was kidnapped?’

Startled, I lifted my eyelids.

“…?”

At first, I didn’t think they were eyes.

Amethyst maybe. Why would there be a jewel in front of me. Just as I had that brief question.

“Why did you save me?”

“…Huh?”

A calm question pierced my ears.

“I asked why you saved me.”

It’s talking. The jewel is talking.

Flustered, I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them properly.

Then purple eyes revealed between deep, clear eye lines were staring intently at me with a gaze full of curiosity.

‘…Who is this kid?’

White hair covering his forehead. Fair, fine skin.

If someone were asked to draw untainted purity, I thought this young boy might appear.

Exactly.

I would have thought that if I hadn’t seen the blood on his lips.

“…Blood?!”

Startled, I tried to back away, but my body wouldn’t move. My hands and feet were tied with rope.

‘Don’t tell me, did that guy do this?’

“…You.”

I glared at the young boy with triangular eyes, trying to ask his intentions.

“Ah, this.”

How did he interpret my expression?

The young boy looked displeased and roughly wiped his lips with the back of his hand.

“I ate a little to transform into a human. It tasted bad.”

And then he muttered to himself that he had eaten blood.

“…You ate blood?”

“I had to so I could communicate with you.”

While saying something ridiculous, he acted indifferent as if wondering why I would ask such a thing.

What a strange kid.

My mouth trembled as it formed a triangle shape.

‘…Were there vampires in the original world?’

No way. If there were, they would have appeared even as supporting characters.

My eyes were swirling in confusion.

“Anyway, hurry up and tell me. Why did you save me?”

“…Huh?”

“Why did you save me?”

The young boy, who had been diligently wiping off the blood caked all over him, suddenly approached me.

“Why did I save you?”

Isn’t that an inappropriate question to ask with a blood-stained face?

I blinked like an idiot.

“Why would I save you?”

“You rescued me. At Ahili’s Circus.”

“I did?”

“Yes.”

A confident answer.

“…No, I didn’t?”

Shake shake—

I shook my head.

‘…I thought he was lacking somewhere, but seeing that he knows about Ahili’s Circus, did he go there?’

But I had never seen this young boy back then.

“I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’ve never seen you before.”

Then his mysterious purple eyes narrowed sharply.

“I went through the trouble of saving you just to hear an answer.”

From his tone, it was clear he didn’t believe what I said.

After glaring at me for a long time with his hands on his hips, he nodded as if he had made up his mind.

“If you won’t talk, then there’s no reason to keep you alive anymore.”

And with an indifferent expression, he opened his mouth wide.

“I’ll just eat you. Ah—”

“Aaaahhh!”

When his small mouth opened, sharp molars were revealed between his densely packed teeth.

He’s crazy. He’s insane!

I wriggled my bound body like a caterpillar and then blurted out whatever came to mind.

“Ah, okay! I’ll answer, I’ll answer!”

Then his wide-open mouth closed.

Alright, I get it. I don’t know who this kid is, but I’m certain he’s a lunatic.

So then…

“If you untie the rope, I’ll answer.”

First, my body needs to be free.

“You’ll answer if I untie the rope?”

“Yes. It hurts because of the rope, so it’s hard to answer.”

When I squirmed and pretended to be in pain, his indifferent purple eyes flinched.

“…If it hurts, it would be hard to answer.”

And suddenly with a compliant attitude, he knelt down and began untying my rope.

This bastard. Thank goodness he’s stupid.

“Hehe. Thanks.”

‘Once the rope is untied, you’re dead.’

Hehehe—

I raised the corners of my mouth sinisterly.

I was watching the guy untying the rope with an intense gaze when—
