That night, I stared wideeyed, fending off the heavy sleep that was rolling in.
“I’m never going to sleep.”
I had no intention of sleeping that night. I squatted on the bare floor, staying up all night.
After deciding to leave the Duke’s residence yesterday, I chose to leave at dawn, avoiding people’s eyes.
It was difficult for my young body to wake up at dawn, so I compromised by staying up all night.
But something was strange. I tilted my head and fumbled on the floor.
“Why is the floor so soft?”
[Ah, stop touching!]A sharp voice rang in my ears, and the floor that was standing shivered.
Startled, I froze on the spot.
[How dare you treat me like this! Human, of all things!]It was an angry voice. I looked around with many question marks in my mind.
“Where, where is that coming from?”
[Here, here!]The floor wriggled again. At the same time, I felt a cold pain on my forehead with a thump.
“Ouch …”
Having lightly bumped my head on the floor, I rubbed my head. When I looked up, the early morning moon was hanging over the window. The wriggling floor had disappeared, and the solid room floor could be felt.
“It was a really strange dream.”
The floor was soft and wriggling, what a dream. Lost in thought, I hurriedly looked around to check the time.
Fortunately, it was not too late. There was still plenty of time before Sophia and Delma would come.
I rubbed my eyes to drive away sleep.
“I would never have woken up if I had slept in bed.”
Yesterday, I witnessed the Duke killing someone. So I decided to escape from this villainous family.
But others wouldn’t let me go easily. I had to avoid Sophia and Delma, who looked after me.
So the time I chose was dawn, just when the sun was beginning to rise.
“What was that dream earlier?”
The floor in the dream wriggled and was soft. As I lost myself in thought, my eyelids felt heavy.
Without realizing it, my eyelids slowly drooped. My head tilted to one side, and I jumped up in surprise.
“I mustn’t fall asleep again!”
I slapped my cheeks to regain my senses and quickly got up.
“Let’s go.”
I packed the last cookie into the bag I had packed earlier and left the room.
Usually, I woke up late in the morning, when almost everyone had already started their morning and were roaming the mansion.
Now, in the dark early morning, the corridor was dark. As soon as I opened the door, a chilly air seemed to envelop my whole body.
As I slowly walked, my eyes were automatically drawn to the portraits hanging on the corridor walls.
From the ancestral Duke and Duchess to the first Duke, according to Sophia’s explanation, they were portraits.
The paintings, which seemed only splendid during the day, were creepy at night.
“It’s a little scary.”
I swallowed dryly.
But if I were scared of this, I wouldn’t have planned the escape in the first place.
I took my eyes off the portraits and started walking.
If I were an ordinary 4yearold child, I wouldn’t even have thought about leaving this house.
Instead, I might have been happy to be away from my mother, enjoying the food and toys Sophia provided.
“Maybe I would have thought of the Duke as my real father.”
Among the children in the back alleys, there were often rumors.
That soandso’s child is actually the lost daughter of a certain Count, that soandso’s parents were actually incredibly wealthy, and other such baseless rumors.
Though these rumors were usually unfounded, I couldn’t help but hope a little when I heard them.
I didn’t have a father either.
Maybe I had a hidden father too, maybe he was desperately looking for me somewhere.
When I was young, I used to have such thoughts.
I would think that every night, on the fortunate nights when my mother fell asleep early, my father might come to find me.
“There’s no way that could happen.”
So all these imaginations were thoughts I had before recalling my previous life.
Now, I knew very well that there was nothing for me to expect.
“There’s no one to come for me.”
For an extra like me, it was best to avoid getting entangled in the fate of the main characters.
Fortunately, I crossed the second floor corridor without any issues. I momentarily looked at the corridor I had come from and then cautiously opened the door to the back stairs.
Perhaps because it was a stairway used by the servants, the surroundings were darker. It was also a bit damp.
The back stairs I was descending led directly to the kitchen and the warehouse. The kitchen and the warehouse were close to the back door.
I opened the warehouse door and was about to leave the mansion when I looked back for a moment. My steps became a little heavier.
“Sophia, Delma. I’m sorry for leaving without saying anything.”
I offered an unspoken apology to those who had truly cared for me. They would be quite surprised when they found me gone in the morning.
Besides, I hadn’t seen Yan since the first day. I should have thanked him. I belatedly shook off the regret.
