“Of course, your previous room was a different place.
This is the room you used to spend the night with His Highness.
That’s why it’s located right next to the Grand Duke’s room.”

“Ah, I see.
It’s a precious room to us…”

“I guess that’s why I thought you were such a precious guest.
Actually, everyone was surprised at first.
It was because of the news that His Highness had given this room to two people.
After Grand Duchess Ellinson passed away, this room was never opened.”

Looking at her talking in a calm tone, I nodded.

“I see.”

“Yes.
In particular, Young Master Lexit had the most severe reaction.
And then there’s Lady Harris.”

“I see…”

“But don’t worry.
His Highness is not someone who gives you a room for no reason.”

As if to comfort me about Harris, the corners of her mouth raised.

“It’s late at night, so hurry up and sleep.”

“It is so.
I need to sleep”.

“Don’t worry too much about Lady Harris either.
It’ll get better over time.
Definitely.”

Cecilia was always right, but I think she’ll be wrong this time.

Harris was terribly obsessed with me and was very competitive against me, so it’s obvious that it’ll stay the same until I do something wrong or leave.

“Sigh…”

“Why? Are you worried about what happened earlier?”

“No.
Nothing.”

Once I am admitted to this family, I have to stay here until I grow up and protect myself.

‘At least until eighteen.’

Once you’re eighteen, you’re recognized as an adult.
That doesn’t mean I’m old enough to do everything.
I wouldn’t be able to buy a house under my name, and there would be nothing I could do on my own.

‘I need to turn twenty.’

If my mom was healthy, she would be fine when I reach eighteen, but you never know when my mom’s health will change from bad to good.
Because my mom didn’t die on my fifth birthday, it was the only time she wore it.

Because the future has changed, even I wouldn’t know the changed future.

‘Does this mean… I have to continually keep an eye on Harris?’

At that moment, the world went dark.

In the meantime, Cecilia brought me to bed and laid me down.

“Don’t worry and go to sleep.”

“Uh… Yes.”

“If you keep worrying and thinking bad thoughts, you’ll have nightmares in your dreams.
So think of only good things.
Think about going to the garden to play with your mom, or how nice it would be to imagine picking pretty flowers and making a bouquet together.”

When I heard that, I put aside my worries about Harris, which had filled my head, and held the penguin doll tightly in my arms.

“Yes!”

“Then, have a good night?”

With those words, my hair was stroked softly.

I only thought of good things, thinking that I could have good dreams.

That night, I had a dream of picking flowers in the garden with my healthy mother.

The scar that filled my mom and my whole body disappeared, and we laughed as if nothing had happened before.

I had a good dream after a long time.

And then I saw a silver wolf in that dream.

I couldn’t remember the look or the sound of it crying, but the silver hairs that tickled my cheeks were very impressive.

Because of that, when I woke up at dawn, I still had the illusion of feeling its soft hairs on my cheeks.

The next day…

Maybe it’s because of the dream I had all night, but I woke up late in a good mood.

Cecilia, who had already been in the room, looked busy somewhere.

“Umm… It’s morning?”

“Yes, My Lady.”

“Why didn’t you wake me up today?””

“It’s been a while since I saw you smiling in your sleep so I didn’t wake you up.”

She stretched her body and smiled?

“What about Brother?”

“He came here a while earlier, and when he saw that My Lady was sleeping, he was disappointed.”

“I see.”

“Then he asked me to tell you that he won’t be able to come because he’s busy today.
He then added, “Even if it’s a pity, please bear with me”.”

As a brother, Allen was good and very interesting, but his brother was a little excessive.

“Yeah! It was a bit annoying, but it worked out in the end.”

“Really?”

Cecilia, who came to my side before I knew it, was smiling brighter than ever.

After waking up from my seat, I patted my sleeping mother on the cheek and went down from bed.

“Yesterday was really weird.”

“Was it weird?”

“Yes, as Cecilia said… I had a good dream.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, a dream of picking flowers in the garden with my mom.
But what’s more amazing is that at the end, a silver wolf came to me and rubbed my cheek.”

I said it because I was excited, but as Cecilia made the bed I was lying on, her face hardened a little.
