The place they arrived at was the dining room.
The nose I had perched on the table wagged up and down vigorously.
A meal? Come to think of it, I had been starving for a while.
“Little one. I’ve prepared a special dish for you.”
With Idrish’s words, the chef brought out a plate covered with a lid.
What was under the lid?
Even when I sniffed, there was no smell coming from inside.
“Enjoy your meal.”
The chef opened the lid.
Long, white things were wriggling and squirming.
“It’s a special dish of live maggots!”
The squirming things all looked at me at once.
Ah! What is this? No!
“Screech!”
I screamed, jumping up and down. Eventually, my hind legs tangled, and I fell over with a thud on my plump behind.
Flailing, my short four legs swung through the air.
Then, a maggot that had escaped from the plate crawled toward me.
I raised my spines from my forehead to my tail, frantically running across the table. My feet slipped several times.
In an instant, I took refuge near Idrish. But feeling as if the awful bugs were still chasing my hindquarters, I burrowed into Idrish’s sleeve.
“Hey, it’s hot.”
Idrish grabbed my hind legs.
Let go!
I kicked his hand away and burrowed further in, only sighing in relief once I was completely hidden in the sleeve.
Heave, heave. I hate bugs…!
“A hedgehog afraid of maggots? Can’t be helped. Put that away now.”
Really? I focused quietly on Idrish’s words.
I heard the clatter of dishes being put away.
After a while, I cautiously stuck my nose out of the sleeve. I looked outside before leaving, but the maggots were gone.
Phew.
“You’re not a hedgehog spirit, but you can’t eat maggots?”
Idrish looked down at me, mocking.
Ugh.
I raised the spines on my forehead, glaring.
“If you hate live maggots that much, you better reveal your true identity soon. Otherwise, you’ll really have to eat live maggots this time tomorrow.”
With that, Idrish stood up from his seat.
(This is a time separator.)
I was just sighing in relief in the room when someone cautiously knocked and opened the door.
The person who entered was a small child.
“Hey, monster!”
Huh? Is he talking to me?
I carefully examined the little brat who spat out rude words at a stranger.
About 7 years old, small build, silver curly hair, and blue eyes.
Ah, if it’s the blueeyed Baekho, I knew who it was.
Rodrigo Artigrado. Idrish’s younger brother and a child born bearing a huge fate.
The Serbians, a snake clan, have the ability to prophesy. And a prophecy that their clan will be destroyed if a blueeyed Baekho appears.
Because of this prophecy, the child eventually faces death.
It was a necessary death in the narrative as the story heads toward its highlight from that point.
Facing the child destined to die felt strange.
Of course … it’s not my place to intervene. I don’t really intend to help the villain, either. All I care about is my own safety and comfortable life …
“Wow, you really look weird.”
I raised my spines at the mocking words.
Poor or not, where are your manners?
“But why are you in this room?”
I’m not here because I want to be.
“Idrish said I can’t come into the room. But why is he letting a ugly monster like you in?”
This is getting ridiculous.
I fully raised my spines. I had no intention of listening to a jealous child’s rude words.
But surprisingly, Rodrigo’s eyes widened.
“Wo, wow … Do it again.”
What? Raise my spines?
Feeling uncomfortable, I laid my spines flat and then raised them again.
“Wow!”
I laid down and raised my spines a total of 49 times.
Rodrigo, who first thought I was a monster, ended up falling head over heels in love with me, thinking I was a transforming robot.
So that’s why Idrish keeps me in the room, huh?
Kid. Don’t tell me Idrish keeps me around just to watch me raise my spines? Of course, I don’t know the real reason, either …
But thanks to that, I also came out of the room. Being a child, he quickly cheered up after playing a little, and took me out, promising to show me around the mansion.
“Over there is the library where Grandfather usually stays. But don’t go there. The master is scary.”
I knew some of the information, but there were also new facts and helpful information for escape.
“Here is…….”
Rodrigo stopped speaking in front of a black door in the corridor.
“I don’t know what’s in here. They never told me and strictly forbade me to enter.”
Oh, really.
It seemed like something I needed to know about.
I jumped out of Rodrigo’s hand and scratched the door with my front paw.
“Going in there? No! I’ll get in trouble.”
That’s fine, open it. We’ll just take a look.
“I can’t…….”
Rodrigo looked around. There was no sign of anyone. He bit his lip tightly.
“Then just for a moment, really.”
I quickly nodded my snout. Rodrigo picked me up again and grabbed the doorknob.
Screeeech.
The door opened with an eerie sound.
Beyond the door, stairs leading downward were laid out.
The stairs extending into the basement were gloomy and eerie, like the maw of a cursed dragon.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
