‘There’s a pond outside.’

I should go and wash my pacifier or mold would grow on it.

‘What is this made of in the first place?’

I stayed for quite a long time in the tower and was not able to go out of Cillophia recently so I have become a stranger to the outside world.

‘Slime…’

I would definitely be more comfortable if I could get my hands on one.

I crawled across the road with all my might.

When I stepped outside, I saw how much larger the mansion was. Frankly speaking, I could see it at a glance even when I lied down with my small body.

‘It’s too large.’

I don’t even know if it would take me a whole day to go around it.

But there was something that I knew… I have to wipe my pacifier first.

I spotted a fountain not far from where I was lying down with my pacifier in my mouth.

‘Thank goodness, I don’t have to go to the pond.’

My arms and legs worked hard as I crawled in a straight line towards the fountain.

“Hashwi…!”

Shit! It was too far!

It just looked close but in reality it was quite far.

I naturally ran out of breath. As I huffed and puffed, the pacifier kept on falling out of my mouth.

‘Pacifier, no!’

I quickly stopped myself, set my butt on the ground, stretched my legs out then pressed the pacifier back with both of my hands.

“Eopuu…”

I held the pacifier in my hands as I breathed roughly.

Somehow the ground felt hot.

What season were we in now? How long has it been since I was betrayed?

I felt a sense of giddiness when I tilted my head back to watch the clear blue sky.

‘…Is it autumn?’

I closed my eyes in a reflex and shook my head hard to remove my dizziness.

I tilted my head forward when I felt that I was about to fall back.

‘I, I almost died.’

There was a high possibility that a light hit to my head filled with soft hair would result to my head not functioning properly.

I stroked the back of my head in happiness as I kept my precious head and hair safe…

“Kkeung…”

Smooth… Soft… Hair…!

Let’s stop. It’s short.

I leaned my body forward as I hurriedly pressed forward.

Fortunately, I was finally able to arrive in front of the fountain thanks to my hardworking arms and legs.

Then I stiffened.

“Hashwi…!”

Shiit, no one said to me that it was this high!

Even if I stood desperately I couldn’t even see a drop of water.

‘How much time did I spend just to get here…’

My mind drifted off. The way back felt even more distant.

I wanted to challenge it first so I gripped the marble surrounding the fountain and pulled myself up to a stand.

Burble, burble, burble, I heard the sound of water flowing down from the fountain.

“…What the hell is that?”

“Duke, I think that it’s… a baby?”

The attendant beside him bent down and answered him.

The Crown family attendant raised his head and saw the duke, Deshar Crown, turned his head sharply with a frown.

The attendant immediately shut his mouth up when he saw the sharp glare in his eyes.

“Do you think I asked that now because I don’t know what that is? I’m asking why a baby is walking around here.”

“That…… Please excuse me.”

The attendant bent his waist down.

The mansion’s butler was too slow them so he sent a servant to follow closely beside Deshar Crown.

“Whose child is that. Whose bastard’s child is that! Who takes care of a child like that!”

“Perhaps it’s the child of the departed young master.”

The butler observed the child’s appearance closely and smiled lightly.

However, none of the people who were talking came forward to help the child.

At the words of the butler, Deshar Crown’s expression turned blank.
