【Chapter 56】

“Hmm.”

I pondered what to say, then decided to just ask honestly.

“But why are you dressed like a cat…?”

Father looked embarrassed.

I could understand his intention.

Since I’d been crying so much lately because of the baby, he was probably trying to cheer me up with this kind of event.

‘…But honestly, it’s a little scary…?’

Just imagine a 190cm tall man standing at your door in a fur costume and cat mask.

This is kind of like those American situations where babies cry when they see clowns!

‘I won’t cry since I’m not simply 5 years old.’

But my eyes were swollen like a goldfish.

Because I had cried so much earlier over the baby.

Father, who had been looking around with his mouth clamped shut at my question, sighed.

“You’ve been crying every day since the cat disappeared. I thought it might cheer you up, so I tried following Nox’s advice.”

“Nox is the president of the Masamo gathering.”

“That’s right.”

“Of course he would speak from his own perspective, but you listened to Nox?”

Callipus looked down at me with a regretful expression for a moment.

Then he bent his knees to meet my eye level.

“I was desperate. Please don’t cry, my daughter, rather burst into laughter when you see me.”

“Hahahaha.”

“Don’t laugh.”

“Yes.”

“…”

“…Hehe.”

The atmosphere lightened a bit.

Fortunately, Father seemed to feel it too as he chuckled and gently touched around my eyes with his cold thumb.

“Aisha.”

“Yes?”

“Father has something to tell you. About the cat.”

“…Huh?”

I thought he was just going to comfort me. My eyes widened at the unexpected words.

‘He came in cat costume and now has something to say about cats?’

…Don’t tell me he’s going to say he’ll become my cat or something?

‘Creepy!’

The cat costume was foreshadowing.

Realizing Father’s intention, I prepared to refuse in advance and my pupils shook.

“Actually, Father took that cat…”

That’s when it happened.

“Emergency, emergency!”

Knights came running frantically from far down the corridor.

“Your Highness. There’s something you need to check. A maid named Rose has been found dead in the prison.”

“What?”

Father suddenly wore a serious expression befitting the Croste Duke.

While in fur costume.

“And the Marquis of Frisia who was imprisoned there was found unconscious. When we woke him, he said some cat attacked the maid…”

“!”

“!”

Both Callipus and I widened our eyes simultaneously.

“I’ll go right away. Aisha. You wait here.”

As if warning me not to cause trouble, he gripped my shoulder tightly and ordered one of the knights.

“Stand in front of the bedroom door. If Aisha tries to come out, stop her immediately.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

After issuing me a ban from leaving the bedroom, Father quickly ran toward the prison.

“Princess. Please go into your bedroom.”

“…Yes-.”

Hmph.

I glared at the departing Callipus with sulky eyes and went into the bedroom for now.

But who am I?

‘I’m Aisha. Former spy!’

Crack. Crack.

As I stretched my arms with a determined expression, ruthless bone sounds cracked from within my soft body.

‘A true master knows how to hide their strength.’

These soft fingers.

This soft belly.

Father doesn’t know how much power is contained in these soft little toes.

‘If I can’t go out the door, I can go out the window.’

“Sometimes Father really sees me as just 5 years old.”

Though I am actually 5 years old.

“Hehe… hehehehe…”

As I laughed sinisterly and took out the scarf Mai gave me from the nightstand drawer to wrap around myself.

Rustle-

“Huh?”

A suspicious sound from the bedroom window area.

Rustle, rustle.

“…?”

It was strange.

The only person who could enter through a window in the Croste Duchy was Nox.

‘But he would be investigating the incident with Callipus by now…’

Suspicious.

There was a high possibility that an outsider, not someone from Croste, was climbing up the wall.

‘Who is it?’

I quietly took out a poison needle and approached the window area while hiding my presence.

Then a white hand grabbed the window frame.

‘I’ll just confirm their identity and immediately shoot their hand.’

As I waited like a ghost, preparing to blow the poison needle.

Pop-

A white fluffy thing popped out from the window.

“I killed someone again.”

And it was conscience-less Ris casually saying crazy things.

“This time I wiped the blood to avoid leaving evidence, but I got caught.”

Thud-

The poison needle fell weakly from my surprised hand.

It was that boy I saw before.

That one who looked like the baby, really pretty but strange, that…

“…”

Whether I was surprised or not, amethyst-like eyes sparkled as they looked at me.

“…You…”

“When will you give me a name? You said you’d give me one when we met again.”

…Where on earth did this kid come from?

Slap!

This isn’t the time for this.

I, who had been momentarily dazed, slapped both my cheeks with my hands to snap myself back to reality.

And I grabbed him, who was still shooting sparkling beams, and pulled him into the bedroom.

I put my hands on my hips and asked clearly.

“How did you get here? And what’s this about killing someone again?”

To say such things so casually, this kid really needs to go to prison.

“You can’t kill people. Why do you keep doing this! What if I report you?!”

Last time he said he killed someone who kidnapped me, but now who did he kill this time?

A normal person would have gotten chills, but unfortunately, having been trained as a spy, I wasn’t particularly frightened by talk of who killed whom.

I was just worried about him and angry.

Then the boy clicked his tongue and pouted his lips indifferently.

“Nagging again. Every time I become human, it’s nagging.”

“I’m nagging because you keep doing things worth nagging about! This won’t do. You need to be punished.”

“Punishment?”

I thought he wouldn’t know the word punishment, but surprisingly he opened his eyes wide.

“I’m being punished? Why?”

“Because you did wrong. Because you made me angry!”

“Aha.”

Though I spoke sternly, the boy nodded without much impact and looked around.

Then he pulled something whitish from his pants pocket.

“I’ll give you an apology. I’m sorry.”

“…?”

It was boiled chicken breast.

‘Where did this come from again…?’

Whoosh-

I threw the chicken breast out the window with swift hamster-like hand movements.

Then the surprised boy’s mouth slowly fell open.

This won’t do.

I need to tell Father before this kid kills someone else again.

‘First, before Father comes, let’s start some moral education.’

During spy training days.

Imitating the expression of the scariest instructor called ‘Viper’, I opened my eyes fiercely and pointed my finger.

“Kail.”

“…Huh?”

“Your name is Kail.”

It didn’t mean much, just a name that suddenly came to mind.

It was one of the characters from the novel [The Judgment Sword].

Hmm, I think he was called a lesser god.

Though he didn’t have a big role in the original work, he was an important character who became the catalyst for creating the worldview of [The Judgment Sword].

Because he was the very reason the Croste Ducal Family erected the ice wall.

The lesser god who created the monsters.

But that character was killed by humans around the time the novel began.

Since I’ll never see him anyway, I’ll give this name to this kid.

“…Kail. Kail.”

Unlike me who spoke without much thought, Kail’s earlobes turned slightly red as he kept repeating the name.

“I’m Kail. My name is Kail!”

Kail clenched both fists cutely and suddenly rattled off his self-introduction-

“Yes, Kail. So go stand in that corner with your hands up.”

“…?”

Kail, whose mouth became triangular from confusion, stared at the space I pointed to.

It was the most secluded spot in the bedroom where even moonlight didn’t reach.

“There?”

“Yes. Kail, stand there.”

“Why should I?”

“You need to stand as punishment.”

“I gave you an apology.”

“You gave an apology, but I didn’t accept it. So it has no effect.”

“!”

His amethyst-like eyes shook violently.

“If you can’t apologize properly, then you have to be punished. That’s how you get forgiveness.”

When I explained step by step at Kail’s eye level, his reddened earlobes cooled down.

“…Okay.”

Fortunately, Kail listened to me well.

Trudge trudge.

Though he clearly showed he didn’t want to do it. And just as he reached the corner.

Slam-

Someone threw open the bedroom door without even knocking.

“Boy. You come out.”

It was Father.
