Chapter 69
* * *
“Come on, let’s head this way, Bunny.”
The Crown Prince Roel, who had arrived early in the morning, took Bunny’s hand and pretended to tour the Marquis Estate before slipping into a secluded room and pulling something out.
“Ta-da!”
It was a gleaming, brilliant blue stone.
“What is it?”
Bunny tilted her head at the stone, which looked no different from a magic stone.
“This? It’s a stone imbued with magic. I sneaked it out from the Imperial Palace Treasure Vault. Whether you’re in your room, at home, in the bathroom—anywhere at all—with this stone, you can go wherever you want in the blink of an eye. Isn’t that amazing?”
“Wow!”
Roel puffed up with pride at Bunny’s reaction.
With this, Bunny could go out without anyone noticing, just as she wished. Roel knew that too, which was why he had hidden himself in the vault and brought it without Abamama knowing.
When Bunny’s eyes sparkled with delight, Roel’s eyes widened, and he immediately straightened his shoulders with a triumphant expression.
“With this, you can go anywhere without being caught! You wanted to go to the Market, right?”
“Yeah. Oh, wait. I need to leave Heu-Gyeom Dragon behind.”
Just in case there are bad people, Heu-Gyeom Dragon is watching Bunny. If Heu-Gyeom Dragon comes along, everyone will immediately realize that Bunny is Bunny.
Father said to be careful, careful, and very careful, so Bunny will be very good and leave Heu-Gyeom Dragon here.
That way, no one will know that Bunny actually has a Phoenix named Heu-Gyeom Dragon.
Heh.
‘Bunny is such a complete genius.’
So I have to leave it behind.
No one would ever guess that Bunny had thought this far ahead.
“Chirp?!”
“You stay here, okay?”
Bunny wrapped the Phoenix in a towel so it wouldn’t get cold, placed it gently on the plush sofa, then dashed off.
At the same time, Roel activated the transportation stone.
“Chirp!!”
The Phoenix, whose eyes had been rolling around, broke free from the pile of towels Bunny had wrapped around it, flapped its wings urgently, and lunged toward Bunny, but with a brilliant blue flash, the two had already vanished without a trace.
“Chirp…?”
The Phoenix, having lost its landing spot and tumbled to the ground, felt a wave of helplessness wash over its eyes.

One day before Bunny and Allen set out on their secret mission to buy a surprise gift for Kiriel Yudia.
Bunny opened Luriel’s secret notebook again to make thorough preparations.
Hello, Young Master! You’ve come to find out about a gift for Kiriel Yudia!
“Luri, where did you actually see Bunny?”
The moment Bunny opened Luriel’s secret notebook, words began to appear, and Bunny asked with a serious expression. Of course, the secret notebook didn’t respond.
Bunny flipped through the pages eagerly.
Kiriel Yudia doesn’t celebrate his birthday well. Kiriel Yudia’s birthday is the same day Kiriel Yudia’s Mother died.
Bunny, who had been lying on the bed kicking her feet, stopped short.
“…”
I feel sad when Young Master and Mother are apart.
When Young Master was Father, you separated from Mother, right?
‘Bunny had tears in her eyes….’
Bunny sniffled and wiped her nose with the back of her paw, shaking her head vigorously before flipping through the pages rapidly.
I need to make Father happy!
‘To do that, I need a gift, a gift.’
Bunny’s eyes absorbed the words that were gradually becoming visible on the back of the small notebook.
There isn’t much information about Kiriel Yudia’s Mother. Still, in a word, she was a wise yet mischievous person full of playfulness. That’s why she often hid her belongings or gifts somewhere and asked those around her to find them.
“Even more of a prankster than Bunny.”
But among them, there’s one thing that no one has found yet. If you give that as a gift, she’ll definitely love it. Because there aren’t many memories of Mother. It’s an antique shop in the Imperial Capital, and the address is….
Bunny read the words carefully and pressed them firmly into her memory.
The shop name was written in human language, after all.
“Antique shop?”
Though called a genius Bunny, the unfamiliar word was strange to Bunny, who still struggled with human language.
Antique? Shop?! What?
Bunny, who knew only one of the words, tilted her head in confusion.
‘Father’s Mother wants me to find poop?!’
Bunny go find poop?
Will Father like poop as a gift?
Bunny pondered with an unusually serious expression.
If you go there and find something like a very transparent glass marble, that would work. It looks like an incredibly ordinary marble on the surface, but you need to find the one that costs 10 million Lost!
“10 million Lost.”
How much is that?
Bunny raised both hands and began folding her fingers one by one, but when her fingers ran out, she started wiggling her toes as well.
Normally, 10 million Lost was enough to buy a standard personal carriage without customization.
But her fingers and toes weren’t enough to count the number 10 million.
Hmm.
“Anyway, it’s a number bigger than 100!”
Father said the bracelet had much more than 100, so I should be able to buy it.
Bunny remained confident and undaunted.
* * *
Ding—
“Welcome.”
The Antique Shop Owner, who greeted out of habit at the sound of the door opening, paused upon seeing a young customer in a robe that required him to lower his head quite a bit to see.
The child didn’t look like a customer who would normally visit this place at all.
“This is an antique shop. Are you looking for something?”
When the Old Man asked, adjusting his monocle that had slipped down loosely with the back of his hand, a small head suddenly popped out from behind the robed child.
“Hello! I am four… no, five rice Bunny!”
The Old Man’s face widened in surprise at the greeting of a small young girl with water-blue hair, who bowed her head respectfully and flapped both arms as she introduced herself.
Judging by the fine fabric of her clothes, her well-groomed hair, clean nails, and bright face, she appeared to be the child of some noble family or a wealthy merchant.
Upon seeing the child’s bright, innocent face—still bearing the softness of youth in rounded cheeks—the Old Man’s expression melted into warmth.
“That’s right, I am Roland, the proprietor of this Antique Shop.”
‘The shop owner…?!’
Bunny’s lips parted slightly in surprise as she nodded at the Old Man’s greeting, her eyes widening with wonder.
“So what brings you here? If you’re looking for something specific, just tell me, or feel free to browse the shop yourself.”
“A gift for Father!”
“A gift for your father? How admirable. Go ahead and have a look around.”
The Old Man smiled warmly and gestured generously toward the shop.
“Just be careful—there are fragile and dangerous items about, so mind yourself as you walk.”
“Okay!”
Bunny spun around and began wandering slowly through the shop, her footsteps deliberate and measured. Behind her, the Robed Boy followed eagerly, his smaller frame scurrying to keep pace. The peaceful scene brought a broad smile to the Old Man’s weathered face.
There was something about innocent, unblemished children that warmed the heart.
“Bunny, what are you looking for?”
‘So he’s a boy.’
Only upon hearing the voice did the Old Man realize the Robed Boy was male, and he chuckled softly to himself.
The way he scurried after the girl made it abundantly clear where his affections lay.
Perhaps he’d even ask her to marry him someday? It was quite an enjoyable encounter on an otherwise quiet day.
“Um, a transparent orb?”
“A transparent… orb? What do you mean?”
“Well, it’s a clear stone, supposedly very ordinary. But it costs more than a hundred.”
The Old Man listened to Bunny’s words and nodded with a benevolent smile, though he understood not a single word.
Her speech was utterly incomprehensible to him.
“I see… I understand.”
The boy accompanying her seemed equally lost.
Roel followed behind Bunny, a faint smile playing at his lips.
Despite being considerably shorter, he watched as she waddled about, picking things up to examine them carefully before setting them down with delicate precision—a sight that filled him with affection.
Observing how seriously and intently she pursed her lips while scrutinizing each object, Roel’s mouth curved into a gentle smile.
‘Is she truly a Demon Clan Member?’
He harbored suspicions, but couldn’t be certain whether she truly was one.
Since that day, despite burying himself in the Library and researching the Demon Clan extensively, he found no records of any Demon Clan Member without red eyes or black hair.
From what was known, the Demon Clan was an extraordinarily insular society.
A proud, aloof collective that never mingled with other races.
Though their numbers were small, all Demon Clan Members were said to dwell in an underground world accessible only through the corrupted Dark Forest at the borders of various nations.
And they called that place the ‘Demon Realm.’
Only the Holy Knight Order during the Holy-Demon War had ever ventured to the Demon Realm.
The Demon Clan were warlike by nature, savage in temperament, and derived pleasure from slaughter—so all races in existence despised them.
‘I’ve heard the Demon King is already dead, but…’
Yet the Bunny he had come to know was utterly ordinary.
Though she seemed to possess some knowledge about the Demon Clan, he still doubted whether she truly was one.
She didn’t look like a Demon Clan Member, nor did she seem warlike or savage in nature.
She didn’t seem to relish blood, nor did she attack people. Though she possessed a somewhat eccentric nature, she was fundamentally docile.
No, in truth, she transcended mere docility—she was endearing.
And that wasn’t all. Recently, she had summoned the Phoenix itself!
The most magnificent and exalted of all Divine Beasts, the Phoenix.
I heard she had even saved those on the brink of death. Thus, even harboring suspicions about her being a Demon Clan Member felt hesitant.
It was then that Bunny came to an abrupt halt.
