He told me to wait and I sat quietly sit quietly like Iâm trapped in a garden, but Dietrich didnât come till the night.
I hugged my hungry stomach and dragged my cold, trembling body back to my room.
âLiar.â
The bitterness fills the throat, but what can I do? I havenât yet been able to enter Dietrichâs heart.
âI need to be more active in starting tomorrow.â
Anyway, Dietrich didnât avoid me if I approach him.
âBecause Iâm hungry, I canât sleep.â
I was so hungry that I cried and barely fell asleep.
***
From the day after Dietrich had eaten all the sparrows on her own in front of me, I began to be given other food than milk.
âNow, Mammam here. Mammam youâve been waiting for.â 2
âNow I think you like me a little bit!â
Today is the most monumental day of the many days I spent bringing him milk and cookies.
Dietrich held my hands tightly and my eyes twinkling when he looked at me indifferently.
âDetteli.â
âOkay.â
âDett, tangkyu.â (Dietrich, thanks.)
I scrubbed the cherries he gave me over my clothes and put them in a mouthful then chewed them.
âYou really look like a little chick.â
I tried to ignore the impression he made when he saw me eating the cherries.
âWant more?â
âYeah!â
The cherries that were eaten for the first time after being reborn were so delicious that makes me tearful. The refreshing juice that spreads in the mouth is a bit irritating.
âThis sweet and sour taste! It is the best!â
âWhy are you crying again?â
âI always only eat black bread and milk. Please imagine how delicious this fruit feels.â
Dietrich froze ashamed to see me with tears. I laughed at his wry face, wondering if I would be misunderstood.
âIâm not cliying!â (Iâm not crying)
âIâm not crying! Iâm happy!â
The child frown after my big laugh that makes my mouth hurts.
âAre all babies like you?â
âWoo..oo?â
Dietrich stared at my smiling face and said steadily.
âI donât know because all the babies other than you are dead.â 1
Well, okay. 2
Letâs assume that I havenât heard such bloody words. I stretched my hand toward the bed where Dietrich was sitting, hide the efforts that make me sweat.
âSo you canât go up there.â
The height of the bed almost reached my neck, so Dietrich lifted me.
âNow you giving me this kind of kindness.â
Itâs called âThe mere-exposure effectâ, the more often someone sees a person, the more pleasing and likable they find that person. Whenever Lancel wasnât watching me, I was looking for Dietrich and staying close to him. 2
This is the moment to realize the fact that my lasting effort wasnât wrong.
âWhy are you there?â
Dietrich was sitting on the edge of the bed, so I had to go a little longer to get him. I moved quickly and put my face on his leg.
âDettlii!â (Dietrich!)
Dietrich pushes my head and rubs my cheeks on his legs.
âGo away.â
âOppa, I like yu!â (Brother, I like you!)
But I have no intention of stepping aside. It wasnât a skinship with the intention of building a sense of familiarity with him, and I just really wanted to express my gratitude.
âThe future villain is working hard to looking for cherry and share it with me!â
Rather than good children who do good things, itâs far more impressive when bad children do good deeds.
âDettli, I like yu!â (Dietrich, I like you!)
âHah!â
âDietliiii! I lili lili like yu!â (Dietrich! I really really like you!)
âWhatever.â
No matter how much I confess, Dietrich doesnât respond. He was very cold to the bone.
âItâs been over a year since I checked my face, but sometimes Iâm cute enough that I want to linger in the mirror!â
To be bored with a cute baby like me. Itâs sure Dietrichâs heart was made of ice. My pink cotton candy hair has grown a lot so much that I can play it with my hands.
âAm I not cute. Isnât this the same child as the one in the mirror?â
âDo you want more?â
âYeah!â
âEat well.â
I laughed happily after taking cherries that Dietrich gave me again.
âI picked it from another palace.â
ââŚâŚ huh?â
âWell, It shouldnât be poisoned.â
âWhat! You bastard! You should have said that soon!â
âNyo!â (No!)
I open my mouth and couldnât swallow the cherries I chewed when I heard Dietrichâs words. It seems like itâs only an illusion if Dietrich likes me a little bit.
âThatâs right! The villain couldnât get tamed this easily!â
Itâs fine if itâs dirty, but it was a big deal if the poison was on it.
âSudenât! Yu sudenât!â (Shouldnât! You shouldnât!)

It seems that my throat that swallowed cherries is hot. I cried with my hands around my neck.
âI, Iâll die?â
Dietrich looked at me with relaxed eyes and opened his mouth. 2
