Taking a look at Rex’s face soaked in tears, I noticed how egocentric I used to be.

I silently embraced Rex, who was crying uncontrollably. Then I gently patted his trembling shoulders. He had gone by way of a protracted day identical to me.

‘, if I ever disappear… ‘

I virtually place a fair larger burden on him.

If I have been to vanish, Rex might need suffered from an incredible sense of guilt, considering it was his fault. Wouldn’t that make him find yourself as villain? Is that this mild and type little one going to stroll that path due to me?

‘Then what do I do?’

By no means inform anybody, by no means dig up any extra details about Sofia. X warned me by way of the dying of Baron Bruno.

Subsequent might be Rex, or it might be another person.

Furthermore, Logan is aware of and researches the underworld greater than anybody else, and he’s even Baron Bruno’s closest confidant.

I’d moderately Rex had misplaced all his reminiscences. Despite the fact that it could be unhappy, it could give me peace of thoughts.

Forgetting is claimed to be a present from God.

Up to now, these phrases would have approached me vaguely, however now I needed to go to the one who first mentioned this sentence and ask why that they had such ideas.

If forgetting was certainly a present from the gods, then why did they maintain reminiscences of my previous life?

And is it actually a present that Grand Duke Estin doesn’t keep in mind me?

If solely Grand Duke Estin might regain his reminiscences, take a look at me so fondly once more, and maintain me in his sturdy, protecting arms, I might be so glad……however…….

What if Grand Duke Estin actually awoke like that as a substitute of forgetting his reminiscence me?

“Are you okay?”

As my tears fell with out saying something, Rex grabbed my cheek and requested, making eye contact.

My coronary heart ached on the assumptions I made. I couldn’t inform him I used to be okay, despite the fact that he requested so desperately.

“I’ll go to the r, room.”

“Which room, ah, sister’s room?”

Rex, who had been wiping away my tears, grabbed my hand in a fumbling movement as if to steer me to my room.

We arrived within the room, with Rex escorting me otherwise than traditional.

Once I bought to my room, I instantly collapsed on my mattress, hugging Nero. Rex sat on my mattress and patted me on the again.

“Would you like me to name Bonita or Carol?”

“I need to be alone for a short while…….”

“You gained’t consider something unusual for those who’re alone, gained’t you?”

Rex responded with a dark expression to my tantrum. I turned to face Rex who was sitting subsequent to me.

What’s the unusual thought Rex was speaking about. I shook my head as I checked out his face.

I didn’t have the power to stand up, wash, and alter now. I wasn’t going to sleep for lengthy anyway. I simply needed to shut my eyes for a second to flee from this case.

Rex, who was attempting to steer me, bit his lip and hesitated, however finally nodded his head, withdrawing his hand that had been patting my again.

“Then relaxation just a little longer.”

“Yeah, I’ll.”

“You shouldn’t assume an excessive amount of alone. Give it some thought with me.”

Once I chuckled at Rex’s urging, he sternly warned me that I mustn’t ever take into consideration something and pushed his little finger at me.

Solely after I gave him my pinky finger did he depart my room. Nonetheless, the lingering fear was nonetheless evident on his face.

Left alone within the darkened room, I slowly closed and opened my eyes repeatedly. Whether or not it was on account of Rex’s earnest plea or not, my thoughts was clean and devoid of any ideas.

I lay like that for some time, blinking my eyes, till finally my eyelids grew heavy.

I heard somebody enter my room and say, “Oh, my girl,” however I step by step drifted off right into a trance.

***

The place am I?

I awoke from sleep and, in a dazed state, bought up from the mattress and rubbed my eyes.

Oh, proper? I fell asleep after sending Rex away, didn’t I? Seeing that I used to be carrying white pajamas, the one who got here into the room earlier appeared to have modified my garments.

Who’s it? The voice gave the impression of Bonita.

Rex’s earnest plea appeared to have labored like a type of spell.

Judging by how refreshed and invigorated I felt, it appeared like Bonita had not solely modified my garments but additionally washed me. Seeing that I hadn’t woken up whereas she did all that, I should have actually slept deeply.

“It looks like I slept effectively.”

Since I didn’t really feel sleepy anymore simply mendacity round within the room, I made a decision to go outdoors and placed on the indoor slippers subsequent to the mattress.

Contemplating how darkish it was outdoors, it appeared like I had slept longer than I believed. I cautiously opened the door and stepped out.

“Because it’s so darkish…… everybody should be sleeping, proper?”

Meaning Grand Duke Estin should be asleep too. Immediately, the tender gaze of Duke Estin, as he checked out Tia Blua, got here to thoughts, and as soon as once more, my left chest ached however the sight of his sleeping face may calm the waves of confusion I used to be feeling.

I walked in the direction of the darkened hallway, making as little noise as potential.

‘Are you sleeping?’

I arrived at Grand Duke Estin’s bed room with a wierd sense of pleasure. The door was barely ajar. A tiny bit of sunshine leaked onto the darkish hallway ground. I walked as gingerly as I might and approached Grand Duke Estin’s door. It was an enormous door, but it surely appeared even larger at the moment.

I put my ear to the door, simply in case there was somebody apart from Grand Duke Estin inside, however I couldn’t hear any sound coming from the room.

‘Are you sleeping with the lights on?’

I glanced by way of the crack within the door, hoping that he is likely to be catching up on some work that had been left undone whereas he was awake, or maybe studying a e book.

However Grand Duke Estin was not awake. He was mendacity on his mattress, and I might see his spherical determine on the mattress.

‘Is he sleeping with the lights on?’

I don’t know what gave me the braveness, however I cautiously opened the door and stepped into the room the place Grand Duke Estin was sleeping.

If he sees me standing subsequent to him with sleepy eyes, he’ll smile affectionately and ask if I had a scary dream. Then I’d be capable to nuzzle into his facet, as I had carried out as a toddler after I had a frightful dream. My coronary heart swelled with such anticipation.

I approached, intentionally not muffling my footsteps, hoping to wake Grand Duke Estin. Sadly or happily, he didn’t get up till I reached the mattress.

I questioned if I ought to flip off the lights within the room to make it simpler for him to sleep. Nonetheless, pushed by the need to see his face, I leaned nearer to the mattress.

Grand Duke Estin was sleeping together with his proper arm stretched out to 1 facet. As I stared at his well-defined options, I wanted I might see his eyes me.

No, really, simply him like this was sufficient.

“Dad….”

With out realizing it, I known as Grand Duke Estin so desperately that I coated my mouth in shock. I checked out his countenance, however he simply made a noise and moved additional to the appropriate.

I had been speaking to Grand Duke Estin each evening however acquired no response, however simply calling his identify now elicited a response. It overwhelmed me within the midst of my shock.

Grand Duke Estin was holding one thing beside him, as if he have been hugging Nero in his sleep.

Then I observed black hair subsequent to Grand Duke Estin.

What’s it?

‘Is that Theodore?’

Though Theodore isn’t on the age to be moving into father’s mattress, he at all times acts older than he really is, so perhaps he’s secretly infantile… Ah, however it might’t be Theodore.

I do know it’s not Theodore, and that makes me much more anxious. With trembling fingers, I gently lifted Grand Duke Estin’s quilt.

After checking the face of the particular person in his arms, I attempted to swallow the sound that was about to burst out and left the room with my legs trembling.
