Episode 35
“Why did you do that?”
“….”
“Even a one-year-old knows you die if you go near someone having a Rampage. Why don’t you take care of yourself like this? Do you think someone will tell you you’re really amazing if you do this?”
“….”
“Are you trying to get recognition from someone that you’re amazing?”
My shoulders drooped.
My vision blurred little by little.
It wasn’t something I did to get treated as amazing by other people….
Sister might not know, but everything was me trying to save Sister.
I guess I did something really wrong.
I thought I had gotten close with Sister, but I guess we’re growing distant again.
Thinking that, it felt like someone had crumpled up my heart.
It was when I hung my head low and just stared at my toes.
Sister’s rough fingertips slowly stroked my cheek.
Like my heart, my cheek stung sharply too.
“…You got a cut on your cheek.”
“I didn’t know about that….”
“You don’t need to go that far. In this Family House, no matter how desperately you try to do something.”
“….”
“You’ll just be treated like a nail that sticks out.”
Feeling upset, I looked down and grabbed my cheeks tightly with both hands.
They were still incredibly chubby and round.
“…No. I’m not a nail. I’m really round.”
Sister must have bad eyesight.
It was when I looked at Sister worriedly with reddened eyes.
Sister let out a deep sigh and muttered.
“…I’m originally not good at saying nice things. Sorry.”
“Huh?”
“I was worried.”
“….”
“You suddenly ran off while we were Ball Playing, so I wondered what was happening. Then you got caught up in a Rampage crisis. And you healed the Grand Prince….”
I opened my eyes wide.
“You have plenty of people who will like you without trying that hard.”
“….”
Then, does that mean Sister has come to like me a little too?
It was when my eyes sparkled, making my earlier tears seem pointless.
“Act like a child and only look at good things. Don’t do dangerous things like this anymore. Got it?”
But I couldn’t nod my head at those words.
This time I saved Sister.
But there are still many bad people around Sister.
But I think I should say this.
“But you know, I didn’t think this was dangerous.”
“Why didn’t you think that.”
It’s partly because I could see the future.
It’s partly because my brain became incredibly smart, different from other puppies.
But most importantly.
“Because whenever I’m in danger, Chloe always comes to save me.”
My body has changed and time has passed.
When I hit the Head Maid.
When I was locked in prison for being misunderstood as killing the Tiger.
And now when I saved the Grand Prince.
Sister always comes to save me.
“…Why would I come save you? I have no intention of doing that.”
“But you came now too!”
I firmly grasped Sister’s hand as she avoided my gaze.
Sister didn’t shake off my hand.
The moment I realized that fact.
A faint white light flickered at my fingertips and disappeared again.
Light that glimmered and blinked through the gaps between our hands before disappearing again.
But now I think I know what that light is.
‘It seems like light appears whenever Sister feels closeness toward me.’
Maybe when that light becomes as warm and bright as morning sunlight.
Sister will be able to recognize me?
If so, I decided not to shed tears anymore.
Instead, I smiled cheerfully and shook our clasped hands.
“…You know, can’t we play Ball Playing again later?”
“No. Meet the Doctor first.”
“Then just throwing the Ball would be fine.”
“No. After you get healthy.”
But it was okay.
Because Sister didn’t shake off my hand.
“Then, you can’t go anywhere.”
“….”
“You have to stay right next to Coco!”
But why do I keep feeling dizzy…
I leaned against Sister’s body as if overlapping mine with hers.
“Come here. You need to go get treated too.”
Sister lifted me up effortlessly.
‘Hehe, Sister smells nice.’
I felt like I had received praise even though I hadn’t.
While being held in Sister’s arms, sniffing her comforting scent as we left the place.
The last thing that entered my sight was….
“Sob, you have no idea how much, how much I worried about you, Young Master.”
“….”
…the sight of Nanny making a fuss beside Caligo as he received treatment.
And the sight of people around praising Nanny as amazing.
* * *
“Grand Duke Caligo, are you feeling much better?”
“Of course. He recovered so quickly, really.”
“Ah, it’s all thanks to Nanny. Taking such devoted care by his side like this….”
Nanny tried to suppress her smugness by forcing the corners of her mouth down.
“We still need to keep watching. He did escape from such a dangerous situation, after all.”
“Nanny, you’re truly amazing.”
“You worked so hard to assist him even when the Grand Duke was on the verge of rampage. There’s no one like you.”
“Oh my…. Everyone is really too kind. Haha.”
After Caligo safely escaped from his rampage.
People who admired the Rivera Grand Ducal House came to curry favor with Nanny.
Nanny pretended to be humble while accepting the bribes these people offered.
“Well then, I must go. The Grand Duke is calling for me again.”
As she entered Caligo’s room.
She tried to feed Caligo parapo fruit juice as usual.
It was a drug that made people’s minds hazy.
It also made it easy to manipulate the other person’s mind.
“Ah, Young Master. Say ‘ah’.”
“….”
“Young Master?”
“Leave it. I don’t want to drink it right now.”
This was the first time. Both that cold expression and his uncomfortable attitude.
She stroked Caligo’s forehead.
“You know, don’t you? Until now, I’m the only person who has been on your side, Young Master.”
Though Caligo remained silent, there was no need to worry.
Caligo didn’t push her away.
It must mean he still relied on her greatly.
“…While escaping from the subspace, there was something I was curious about.”
“Yes?”
“Why on earth did she do that.”
Muttering incomprehensible words, he smiled slowly.
Feeling somehow suffocated, the nanny stepped back.
“Ah, when is His Grace the Grand Duke supposed to arrive? I hope he comes soon.”
In an instant, Caligo’s gaze became clear.
“He’ll come soon. Wait.”
* * *
After a day had passed.
A disciplinary meeting was held regarding ‘Grand Prince Caligo Rivera’s rampage incident.’
Those in attendance were the direct blood relatives of the family, including Chloe.
And Grand Prince Rivera and his nanny.
“I have sent my daughter Theresia, who caused danger threatening the Grand Prince’s life, to prison. Whether there was intent in that act will be interrogated directly by Grand Duke Rivera.”
Theresia’s current state was truly like a candle in the wind.
Duchess Lucretia, who had been protecting Theresia, was in the same situation.
Duchess Lucretia was guilty of lying that her daughter could heal Grand Prince Rivera.
So even she could not exert any influence in this matter.
“How is Grand Prince Rivera’s condition.”
The nanny who was beside him in place of the Grand Prince spoke up.
“It almost became a disaster. It’s truly fortunate that the imprinting occurred.”
The sound of the Elders looking at each other and whispering could be heard.
“Come to think of it, isn’t that nanny quite remarkable?”
“Ah, now that the Young Master has recovered, that nanny will have quite prosperous days ahead.”
But right at that moment.
Caligo slowly opened his mouth.
Though his gaze was somewhat trembling, his eyes were still clear.
“There is someone who has not been properly punished yet.”
“…Grand Prince?”
“There is a bad person who has been tormenting me all this time.”
