Dietrich asked questions to keep my mouth shut. Even so, tears of sadness continued to rise.
"Why are you crying?"
".... Hiing. "
"Are you crying because I didn't eat this?"
"Pa…."
It's not like that.
Probably, it was actually somewhat correct.
Dietrich sighed deeply, not like a child, looking down at me shedding tears again and again.
"Ha …"
Then he took the bottle out of my arms and opened the lid.
I swallowed my breath and watched that child's actions.
Gulp gulp.
The future villain drink milk in a really cool way.
"Okay."
He emptied the bottle which took more than ten minutes if I drank it at once. There was dirt on the side of the entrance, but I noticed that he didn't care.
"I already ate it."
"Papa" (Yes, right!)
It will be fine if you try it so don't be so stubborn.
I laughed brightly holding Dietrich's empty bottle. I'll bring it to him again next time.
If I bring a lot of bottles, you might like me someday.
* * *
"eungcaa!"
I went out to find Dietrich with a bottle that was half eaten.
'He doesn't know how hard I'm going to deliver milk.'
A month has passed since I went on a long journey to give milk to Dietrich every day. In my previous life, I remembered that there was a milk basket hanging on the porch every morning when I was in elementary school.
'I'll give thanks to the delivery guy then.'
It was even sent to our home too, but I've never tried it. My mother ordered two bottles and give it to my sister and brother.
'If you get first place in school, you will get milk too.'
My mother said that when I cried because I also wanted to eat milk. Of course, I couldn't eat the milk that my sister and brother ate because I didn't even attend classes until I died.
Lancel might be better in that aspect because he gave me milk.
I remember Lancel who made me bruise while saying that I have eaten a lot of milk lately. But he hasn't done anything to filter my food today.
"Oh, you've had so much of this expensive milk!"
It's a law for a baby to be chubby and pretty, but he has nothing except milk.
Suddenly, my gratitude faded when I remembered his voice.
'Hey, Dietrich or Lancel.'
Dietrich never knew how to find me first even though he obviously knew I was coming to find him every day.
It would be much faster for him to walk to my room than I would go to the garden as a baby.
"Pa !!!" (Nothing is cheap!)
I was so angry that I hit the floor with my palm.
"Petipeti!" (Pretty pretty!)
'Oh. My milk! '
The milk that I put in my bag sticks out of my head because of my shakes body. I stopped working because I was annoyed by the cap of the bottle visible under my neck.
'You can't fall.'
I thought of my empty right hand being thrown to the grass and be careful about the bottle that was about to fall.
"Ppyaaa…"
'My precious milk … '
The savory smell comes up when I hug it.
I often lose quality if I just put milk in my clothes, so I stole the handkerchief that Lancel left in the room and tied it to my back like an old backpack.
If you put milk in it well, you'll get the perfect outfit for 'The Operation of Dietrich Milking'.1
I approached the drawer where Lancel often left stuff before I left the room.
'Huh, I can already run like this.'
Because I was proud of my growing speed, I started jumping in front of the drawer.
Lancel eats as he stirs his hands. Round cookies and jam that seemed to be left behind falling down.
Lancel is a servant who takes care of me in a very lush posture, so he often forget and leave cookies like this.
'It fell to the ground. But if you pick it up within 3 seconds, it won't be a problem.'1
I picked up the cookies that smells sweet and get rid of the dust with my hands then packed it in my bag.
'Shall we go now?'
There was no one when I stepped out of the hall. At first I was afraid that Lancel would catch me, but it's no longer because the possibility of being caught is close to zero now.
'Are you leaving the palace where only one-year-olds and six-year-olds live?'
Even though I've only met him once, I know Derreck is a terrible human.
'Yuric LaGrange would be enjoying a very luxurious palace life.'
Unlike Dietrich, I remember Yuric had a strong supporter named Liatriz. He definitely become a subordinate of Dietrich later.
'But now it looks like they're competitors.'
When I think of Yuric who was stuck in the ground like a root vegetable, two legs are blocking my way.
"Are you the baby at that time?"
The owner of the skinny legs was Yuric.
'Eh. I'm not even a baby, what's going on here?'
I opened my eyes wide and checked that boy's face. The red hair that looked like a sunset is rare to be found in LaGrange, and it was definitely Yuric's.
Although his handsome looks will resemble a small actor in modern life, that doesn't mean much to me because I'm used to Dietrich.
"Weren't you with your bastard brother Dietrich?"
"Pa!!"
I struggled to get away from Yuric who kept blabbering at me. My two legs trembled as they floated in the air.
"Where are you going with this baggage?"
"Pa !!!" (Let me go!)
I have to be careful. Yuric is currently unfriendly to Dietrich, so he is more likely to show hostility to me. Even Yuric's aura emits red energy even though it is not completely red.
"Is it okay for a baby to go around alone?"
The boy muttered the words to himself, and then placed me by his side.
"I have to take you hostage and blackmail him."1
"Pa?"
Ambitious laughter came out of Yuric. It's not a problem if I'm hostage for Dietrich.
It's futile.
'Well, it's easier to go to Dietrich this way.'
I let go of my vigilance and stopped rebelling. The boy looked at me with a shy face when I lay down and stretched my arms comfortably.
"What. Aren't you scared?"
"Pa." (Hah)
I have suffered because of Dietrich and the children who tried to kill me, but I couldn't be afraid of Yuric. Looking closer, Yuric's aura didn't look dangerous even though it was reddish.
At least, that means that there is no murder towards me. I smiled at Yuric while he looking at me with his absurd eyes.
"Yeah."
Yuric's pretty hair starts to shake when I claps my hands and shows that I enjoy hanging in the air.
'I'm cute!'
After confirming my cute look in the mirror, I decided to actively use the beauty world or no love in life. I'm embarrassed to speak with my mouth, but I'm usually not cute.
Even Lancel, who had an aura that was breathtaking because the hostility toward me was so dark, says that it was so cute that he could stroke my head!
'Of course, I have also purified his aura.'
"Hm.. Strange baby."
Yuric made a short judgment like Dietrich and then moved on. They're going to be on the same side anyway, so it won't be bad to look good for him too.
I took a cookie out of my bag and handed it to Yuric.
"Pa." (Eat.)
"Huh?"
Yuric looked embarrassed when I gave him cookies. I glanced at him, and his ears turn red.
'Are you a huge cookie lover?'
I love the cookie crumbs that these maids usually eat.
His facial expression wasn't clear like Dietrich so I couldn't see it, but I could see that his aura shaking and turned yellow.
"Pappa."
"Th..Thanks."
Yuric was still much more childlike than Dietrich. He smile and ate the cookie I gave him. His lips are pretty, so his smile is pretty too. But Yuric who used to eat good food spit out the cookie halfway.
"Pa!"
My precious cookie!
Why did you throw the cookie you ate? I looked at Yuric but the boy suddenly threw me to the floor.
"Is this poisonous?!"
"Pa?" (Why are you so suspicious?)
"It's poisonous! Or you can't give me sweets! You're Dietrich's sister!"
How depressing the world in the eyes of this child.
'Did this child live only in deceit?'
I was stunned and laughed then I took another cookie out of the bag and bite it into my mouth.
I did something to confirm the fact that I didn't have any poison. I'm just a little worried about trying to chew.
'Can I eat a cookie or something?'
I have never had a baby, so I don't know when to start baby food. This was a lot, I was only taking the milk given by Lancel.
"Hey! Don't eating poisoned cookies!"
"Pa ?!" (I didn't apply it!)
"Oh, spit it fast!"+
When I saw Yuric, he turned pale when he saw me casually chewing on a cookies.
"Nyam."
