âYeah! I think my mom always said that Dad was a very kind person and that he was a good person⊠Itâs strange. I canât remember for sure.â
At that moment, my motherâs shaky eyes returned to their original state.
âAh. I see.â
My motherâs voice became overly calm. As I tilted my head at the unusually different look, my mother stroked my cheek softly.
âMom, why are you so surprised?â
âSurprised. Maybe⊠I was just surprised because I wondered if my Bebe had forgotten her father.â
âRight? Isnât it too much? How can I forget my dad? Dad was really nice to us.â
As I pouted my lips, my mother slowly opened her mouth, as if she had expected this.
âYour dad was a really nice person.â
âIs there anything else? No matter what I do, I canât rememberâŠâ
âHe was just a good person. He loved and cherished Bebe more than anyone. He didnât come often, but he would come occasionally to play.â
âThatâs right⊠but why canât I remember my father?â
âIs it because you had so much fun coming here?â
âIt might be like that. I am⊠a bad daughter.â
I pouted my lips and rolled my body over, hugging my motherâs body.
âNot a bad daughter. Things like that happen, too. After all, Dad is a man of a time that has already passed.â
âBut still⊠my dad will be disappointed. I donât even remember my last memory with him.â
My momâs hand stroked my hair tenderly.
âHe wonât be offended. So Bebe⊠Bebe, live for the future.â
âStill Mom, tell me about my dad. What kind of person was my dad? I heard it here⊠that rumors about my dad werenât good.â
When I turned to look at my mother again, my mother smiled sadly.
âIs that soâŠ?â
âYeah. But was he a bad person?â
âYes, right. But a bad person⊠not necessarily. Iâll tell you about your dad later.â
Again, my motherâs lips closed tightly. I nodded my head as I watched my mother express that she would not speak any more.
âOkay! Iâm tired anyway.â
âWhat did you do?â
âI organized gifts that many people gave me for my birthday.â
âI see.â
âStill, the best of all the gifts was the one my mom gave me when I was living with you.â
I hurriedly added, scared that my mother would be offended.
Perhaps she noticed that day, but my mother smiled and covered her mouth.
âItâs okay. There could have been better gifts. There is no need to hide it.â
âRightâŠâ
âSo, what gift did my daughter get?â
ââŠIf you say so. But Mom⊠I think youâd be a bit surprised.â

Come to think of it, I didnât seem to be able to tell my mother what kind of gift I had received.
âWhat is it?â
My mother tilted her head as if she was interested. I was debating whether or not to tell her, but I nodded my head, thinking that my mother would find out later anyway.
âHundreds of dollsâŠ..a tower made out of chocolateâŠand shoes with jewels the size of my fist.â
âDid you really get a lot?â
âBut thatâs not the problem.â
âIs it?â
âI have one of the greatest gifts ever.â
She sighed and exhaled a little.
âMy  daughter. Why are you taking so much time?â
âThatâs it⊠well⊠the Grand DukeâŠâ
âThe Grand Duke?â
âSuddenly, he told me to sit on a chair.â
âAnd?â
âI sat on the chair and he pointed to the ceiling.â
When I thought of the situation at that time, I took a deep breath. It was the first gift I never wanted to receive, but it was a gift I had no choice but to receive.
âAnd then he said, âLand or country. Iâll conquer the place you want and bring it to you. I will build a country on the land you chooseâ; something like that.â
There was a strong wrinkle on my motherâs forehead, who was always seldom surprised by my words.
Besides that, my mom licked her lips and opened her mouth.
âSo, he wants to give you landâŠ?â
âYeah! I told you last time. Later, I said I wanted a small house to live with my mum, and⊠Iâll give you land. I want to live there.â
I wrapped it well in my own way, but what the Grand Duke had already done was getting out of the scope of my momâs expectations.â
ââŠBebe.â
âHuh?â
âI think⊠that person must be crazy, just like you said.â
ââŠRight?â
I wanted to side with him but I couldnât because he did something crazy that made no sense.
On the contrary, I smiled sadly and nodded my head.
âFrom what I can see⊠he seems crazy. StillâŠâ
But knowing that he didnât have bad intentions, I somehow wanted to side with the Grand Duke.
âHeâs a good person.â

ââŠI think so.â
âOf course, the best person in the world is my mother! Then Dad! Next is the Grand Duke!â
As I hurriedly added, my mother patted my head as if she understood.
âIf heâs crazy for you and nobody else, I would understand. Itâs for my daughter.â
