【Chapter 55】

There was even clean water and boiled chicken breast inside the cage.

‘This isn’t food scraps. It’s just food.’

With this level of treatment, he was definitely still in the house where Aisha lived.

Though he was curious why he was locked in a prison.

Chomp chomp chomp-

For now, he was hungry, so he ate the warm chicken breast first.

And after drinking plenty of water, he sat on the blanket and thought.

‘Did Aisha bring me here?’

Warm sunlight streamed through the prison window. There hadn’t been sunlight like this at Ahili’s Circus.

Aside from the cage bars, this place was no different from a comfortable home for a cat.

Of course, his real home was inside Aisha’s blankets.

‘Let’s wait and see what happens. Aisha might come looking for me.’

Though he had been scolded when he transformed into human form, when he was a cat, Aisha cherished him dearly.

He sat in a loaf position and fell into thought.

He thought of Aisha’s embrace.

The memory of falling asleep in her warm body heat, curled up listening to Aisha’s heartbeat, drifting off to sleep without realizing it.

But now he couldn’t go to Aisha.

Hmm. So.

‘That’s what it means to lose something.’

The cat, suddenly remembering Aisha’s lessons, nodded his head confidently.

Aisha’s embrace. Lost.

Since he wasn’t dead, he could get it back.

Imagining himself returning to Aisha’s embrace soon, he stretched his four legs leisurely and waited for her to return.

But.

One day passed, then two days.

Even after a week passed, Aisha didn’t come.

All that came was the knight who cooed over him adoringly, bringing cool water and warm chicken breast.

‘…Is Aisha not coming?’

The cat began to feel puzzled.

Could it be that Aisha lost me? So she can’t find me?

If not that, then.

‘Did she abandon me?’

Abandon.

That word was what the employees at Ahili’s Circus used for sick animals.

When the employees said they would abandon them, the sick animals would disappear before long.

It meant they were dead.

‘Aisha abandoned me?!’

The cat’s violet eyes trembled as his fur stood on end.

‘That can’t be right? I didn’t even transform into human form, so I should be in Aisha’s embrace?’

He didn’t know why, but suddenly anxiety overwhelmed him.

‘Should I escape from this cage?’

Actually, the cat could escape from this place if he put his mind to it.

People tended to underestimate a cat’s flexibility.

The only reason he hadn’t escaped from Ahili’s Circus or from this cage now was because of food.

If he went outside, he might not be able to eat anything.

Roll roll-

His violet eyes rolled as he fell into contemplation.

He was sitting there making another loaf while lost in thought when-

Click clack.

The faint sound of someone walking echoed from not far away.

It wasn’t the knight who usually came.

“What? Why is a maid suddenly coming?”

Then someone trapped in the adjacent cage asked gruffly. The maid smiled and said.

“I’m Rose, a new maid. Actually, coming into the prison is work that no one wants to do. As a newcomer, I volunteered to take on the unpleasant tasks.”

“You have a long tongue.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

The maid answered mechanically, handed bread to the man in the cage, and stopped in front of the cat’s cage.

“Eat well.”

She smiled prettily and provided cool water and chicken breast.

If the knight had come as usual, he would have rushed over and eaten the meat first.

The cat, with his tail neatly wrapped around his front paws, stared at the maid with a piercing gaze.

‘Strange.’

There was no scent.

She was exactly like that man who had kidnapped Aisha.

The cat glared at the suspicious maid’s retreating figure.

He was at a growing age so he got hungry quickly, but he endured the temptation of the meat smell with difficulty due to an inexplicable uneasiness.

“My, my goodness. That maid was a sp-spy of the Pose Duke’s Family.”

He heard the man from the next room sobbing.

“That’s right. Since I bought that potion, this is from a customer perspective… no wait. Pose Duke. I didn’t see him that way, but he’s a proper person. So if I just trust that maid and wait, I can escape from here?”

The cat, who had been listening for a moment, quickly lost interest.

Pose Duke, potions – they were all words he didn’t know.

Yawn-

‘Noisy.’

Then, he soon realized something.

The knight who was always kind to him never even glanced at the man in the next room and just threw bread through the cage bars.

But that maid.

‘She was very kind to the man in the next room.’

When he secretly entered Aisha’s embrace and wandered around the ducal palace, the knights were kind to Aisha.

So would the maid be kind to Aisha? It was questionable.

She had no scent, and the man who also had no scent had tried to kidnap Aisha.

Conclusion.

The maid named Rose was in cahoots with him, and there was a high possibility she would try to kidnap Aisha.

So what should he do.

Should he kill that woman?

‘But if I drink that woman’s blood and transform into human form, Aisha will nag me about this and that again.’

Still, it would be better to listen to some nagging and run away from people than to have Aisha kidnapped.

Then he could enter Aisha’s embrace later.

‘I’m not dead. I’m just lost. Then I can get it back.’

The cat, whose eyes sparkled for the first time in a while, waited obediently in front of the cage until evening came.

“Hey there, Rose. I’ve been waiting. So when can I escape?”

“Please have patience.”

“Huh, fine. I understand.”

“Hello, kitty too?”

The moment Rose, who had been talking with the man in the next room, reached her hand into the cage to provide water and meat-

Chomp-

The cat pounced on the maid without hesitation.

The maid collapsed as her vision blurred from the small but sharp teeth that pierced her skin.

“Th-this kitten killed a person! Knights! Look over here! Someone is dying!”

The startled man in the next room screamed at the top of his lungs and had a fit.

‘Should I kill that man too?’

The cat, who had suddenly transformed into a young boy, looked at the man with an uninterested gaze.

“A, a, a, a person! He transformed into a person. A, a cat became a person…”

Thud.

But the noisy man conveniently fainted just as the cat had hoped.

The problem was that the footsteps of the knights who heard the man’s scream were getting louder.

The young boy, who had torn apart the iron bars of the window with his incredible grip strength, was about to escape outside when he noticed the blood on his lips.

‘I need to clean this off properly.’

Aisha was startled when she first saw it too.

The cat quickly climbed down from the wall again and diligently wiped his mouth with the fallen woman’s apron.

Oh, of course when the knights arrived—

“…What? What is this…?”

The young boy had already disappeared.

* * *

Not in the garden. Not in the kitchen. Not in the dining room. Not in the storehouse either…

Scratch—

I sniffled as I crossed out the word [Storehouse] written on the tear-stained paper list with my crayon.

“He’s not here. The baby isn’t here.”

Several days had passed since I started looking for the baby, but he had truly vanished without a trace.

‘Did he really run away from home?’

That couldn’t be.

The baby always listened to me well and was always well-behaved…

“Sniff…”

In the end, unable to hold back my tears, I wiped the flowing tears with the back of my hand.

That’s when it happened.

Knock knock. Suddenly, a quiet knocking sound came from the bedroom door.

‘Who could it be at this late hour?’

I roughly wiped around my eyes with the back of my hand, but I had cried so much that instead of wiping away the tears, my entire face became a mess of tears.

Wipe wipe—

Finally, I wiped my face with a handkerchief and opened the door with my eyes all puffy and swollen.

“Who is it?”

Then.

“Meow.”

In front of me stood some huge man. And he was wearing a white cat costume mask and fur clothing.

He wiggled his right hand toward me.

“…”

“…”

A moment of silence passed.

“…Papa?”

“Tsk. I’ve been found out already.”

Callipus, who had been acting flustered and evasive, finally took off the costume mask while still wearing fluffy fur gloves.

I honestly left my review.

“Your meowing sound was too low-pitched.”

“I know. I regretted it right after I did it.”

Fortunately, Papa seemed to agree as well.
