Chapter 24

Felix who couldn't throw away what I gave, made a panicking face but soon decided to just carry it. It's just for a moment but I'll give you a task to keep it well, my snack.

"I heard that he is very alike to his dad in appearance."

Now that I can see it closer, this thrown is very fancy. Gasp, look at all these gems. The size, the shininess! I don't think he will notice it if I were to take this little one at the back of the thrown....

While I was drooling looking at the thrown, Felix was talking about that Roger Alfius's kid. Huh? But by his son, he mean Isekiel.

"Wouldn't it be nice if she gets along with the princess?"

Claude was staring at me in and as soon as I realized it, I was surprised.

What? What's that look for? I-I didn't do anything yet! I was just staring because this gem looked so pretty!

I flinched thinking he saw me drooling over these. No, no theif here. So I spoke smiling like a innocent child.

"Atti's friend?"

Felix seemed exctied when I started to get interested. But Claude who seemed to have a bad time with Roger Alfius today would only smile coldly.

"Its already mood killing to think 2 kids running around in the palace."

Eek, couldn't catch that. I should've said that I didn't needed a friend. Of course because I'm just too carried away with this sparkly thing! Sorry, I'll get it next time!

"I hate noisy kids. Moreover a boy who look like duke Alfius. Just thinking about it disgusts me."

"Haha.... That is no good."

Hearing he is going to look like Roger Alfius, Felix was the one who changed his mind. Eeum. Even Felix who wouldn't take a hint about anything would show this kind of reaction, just how intense was he? I get the image now.

Well it's a shame. I was curious how the male lead looked like. Did it say that Isekiel was 2 years older than Jennet or 3? Well 2 or 3 years are the same thing, hey don't really mat....

Lift!

"Ehhhh."

My body floated so suddenly. I became thoughtless by the sudden warmth. Curious, I lifted my head to see what was happening.... But became 100 times more thoughtless than before.

"Heavy as expected."

...Huh? Huhhh?

Why is Claude in front of me instead of Felix? Turning my head to where Felix stood before, I just saw him standing there. Wait, then what is this? What is it, this situation?

It is unbelievable but there was only one thing that came in mind in this situation.

Ha, what's this. Claude, did you just pick me up?

He was holding me with one arm against his hip but that still was Claude holding me. Effected by his walking, my hanging legs and arms were swaying everywhere.

W-wow. What a shocking thing. I mean, why do you do stuff that you don't normally do? Because that means that that person is soon to die.

It was shocking as I was in a mental breakdown when Claude was walking holding me. He qalked with me in his arms and moved to the back of the thrown and opened the curtain.

Gasp. This is not a wall. Over the curtain contained lots of carpets that looked to be fluffy and on it had lots of cushions that seemed to be soft with cottons stuffed in it.

But I became more absurd when he put me down on it.

"It is tiring to hear noisy dog barkings early in the morning."

Early? The sun's already half way up. And again, a dog barking? Hey whitey white man is going to be your son in law's dad!

Tsk. What will you do when this flows where isekiel marriesJennet. Oh, anyways this cushion is very fluffy the way it looks. What's in this thing?

Claude just picked a spot and lied down while I was poking the cushion.

Hehhh, is this place made for him to rest like this? I mean, this room is not any other room but the work room? I turned to look at Claude weirdly but had to turn back to avoid eye contact.

Gasp. Wait. Don't do this to me. Why don't you wear your clothes correctly? I could see his abs as he was not caring about a thing of his clothings.

I felt this a while ago but his muscles are insane. But even so, a man! You should be more careful! See him lying down anywhere he wants to, see him doing bad things with his clothes. Uwuu. So embarrassing. Hey I told you that even if you try, I won't fall for your prettiness!

But why am I still glimpsing his abs through the open parts of his clothings? Kuckkk. I feel like I lost on something.

"Song from that time."

Ah, that surprised me.

I thought I was caught glimpsing at him. Do not talk so suddenly. My nerves are like a bunny's so it gets surprised easily. But song? What song? I shook my head trying to remember.

"Song?"

"You said that it was a song to chase away bad dreams."

"Ah! sleep well sleep well song!"

"Sleep well sleep well song?"

Gasp. An accident. It's not sleep well sleep well! Where's the cancel button here? Claude was looking at me with folded eyes like a needle, sharp and keen. Claude takes a hint well. This bast*rd. Why do you still remember that! It was like a month ago!

"Anyways, that."

It was fortunate though that he didn't question any further. But the continuing word wasn't too 'fortunate' for me.

"Sing."

Wha. So, you want me to entertain you right now?

Now I was doubting if I heard it right. But Claude was just still watchingnme from the same position. His gaze contained some message and emotions I could not explain in words.

Haha.... You d.o.g.g.y XXXX bast*rd? Even though I would do anything to survive, this is not okay. Even though I look like a 5 year old, I am an mature a.d.u.l.t inside and mentally. Isn't this too much?

"Atti don't remembeeeer though."

Cwarrrr. Last time it was an emergency but it is too embarrassing to sing it again.

With I don't know anything look, I looked at Claude. Yes, I can't sign that song for you! It's not I don't want to, I can't!

"Forgot?"

Yes! It's been a month! It's not weird to forget.

"What to do to make you remember."

Just give up you stubborn bast*rd.

"Now I remember. There were stupid murderers kneeling in front of me to live."

But Claude started to talk about his past out of nowhere.

"When I caught them all, they were saying things like 'I don't know a thing'. All of them."

But I felt chill down my spine hearing it. Claude was actually spitting out events in the past casually but I don' t know why a red light lit up in my 'danger' warning light bulb?

"So I made them remember using force."

Sh-Sh*t. Why does this bad feeling always right. Forcefully making them remember. What does that mean? Why do feel chilly?

"I know how to make people remember things they forgot with a lot of experience. Probably more than a thousand strategies."

Cwanng. What strategy! No, nope. Just don't tell me. Please don't tell me. What can a strategy be for the murderers? Torture? It's torture, right? Right? Soooooob.

"But I can't do that to you."

Yes, yes of course! Using that on a kid like me means that you are a person more cruel than a psychopath! Wahh. Mommy, this dude is too too scary.

"But seeing that you remembered it and said the name out loud but also saying that you forgot. It is a concern to find a way to make you remember...."

"I remember now. Sleep well sleep well song!"

Waah. Why does this human switch acting normal then cold everytime! You goosebump maker! Don't you feel pity towards your little daughter shaking in fear?

"Atti will sing it to papa. Hehe."

I feel like I would die tring to keep my pride. Ya, if this bast*rd actually do something to me when I act stubborn.... Aooo, I don't even want to imagine.

"When the night comes silently...."

I started singing feeling like a person going to jail.

"Pretty Mr. star greets smiling. Bye bye today. More shiny morning will come tomorrow."

Kucck. This feels so off. Claude, you bast*rd. You gave me self doubt.

But this bast*rd was staring at me as if he was saying 'what are you stopping for' after I sang the song. Dude! This song is short! This is the whole song!

I didn't have a choice but to sing that song multiples of times. And after repeating it 6 times, Claude fell asleep. What the, did you order me to do this embarrasing thing so you could sleep?! Cwarrr.

I started waving my hand over his eyes to see if he was really asleep. I tried poking his cheek and tried tontickle him by his chest.

And when I was sure that he was now asleep, I started to pull his hair like as if I was pulling out weed in the farm. I couldn't not do it.

Eeeeek! You think you are going to get away doing this! Ehit ehit! Turn bald!

"Did his majesty go to sleep?"
