Chapter 115.2

“I thought you’d recognize me if I did this… I… It’s actually Sylvie.”

“Sylvie…? Ah! You’re a child?!”

“No! It’s Sylvie!”

“Which Sylvie?”

“…You always went around going ‘Sylvie, Sylvie, Sylvie’.”

It would make more sense for the sky to fall and the earth to rise than this. The boy in front of me is Sylvie. My dog!

“Where on earth is my Sylvie?!”

“I’m serious. I’m really Sylvie.”

“Don’t make me laugh. Sylvie doesn’t speak so kindly. He’s always busy getting angry with me.”

“…No, that’s true.”

“You fake! I thought you were out of your mind, so I tried to quietly let you go, but now I can’t.”

I tugged the rope by the bed. It was a line that always sat next to my bed in case of an emergency. As soon as I pulled it, the boy’s face turned pale.

“It’d be better not to pull it.”

“Why? You don’t want to get kicked out, do you?”

Meanwhile, Cecilia and the others rushed in from outside. I put down my pillow and looked at them. I had to pretend and lift up my chin.

However, even though other people came in, the boy’s expression did not change.

“My Lady, what’s wrong?”

“A-Ah, yes. A strange boy suddenly appeared in my room…!”

“A strange boy?”

I strode and grabbed his hand, wondering if they couldn’t see the boy who seemed to be crazy.

“Hey!”

“…Sylvie?”

“What?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Cecilia tilted her head as if I was being strange. I wondered if she was playing a joke, but the reaction of others who entered the room was not much different.

“Does he… look like Sylvie?”

“Of course.”

Are my eyes being weird? If he really was Sylvie, why does he look only human to me?

Come to think of it, his voice sounded similar to Sylvie, but he’s a puppy; my dog with a fluffy nose.

“You’re a human, Sylvie…”

“Yes, he is a human. His Highness brought him here as your friend… when you came here… Anyway, he’s My Lady’s friend who was brought here one day!”

Did he really look like a human in other people’s eyes? My dad never brought him here.

It was completely different to what I knew, but everyone seemed to think the same as Cecilia.

“It’s not… It’s not like this…”

“Is there something wrong?”

“No…”

“You took care of Sylvie all night because he was sick, but why did you take care of him in this room…? I thought he had a separate room. Oh, is that not true…?”

Cecilia only tilted her head since she thought it was strange.

“So… is he really Sylvie?”

“Yes, of course.”

Rather, I nodded helplessly at the sight of Cecilia looking at me strangely.

“Ugh… okay.”

“Then I’ll be back to get your meal ready, so please wait a little bit. I have to tell you both something now that you’re up.”

Cecilia, who looked somehow excited, retreated like that. When she left, the other’s left as well.

After a while, it was just the two of us in the room.

“You still can’t believe it?”

“Yes. Obviously Sylvie was a puppy.”

“Not a puppy, a silver wolf…”

“Anyway, he was a puppy with white fur and a cute nose! But… why does everyone think you’re human?”

The boy, who was shaking his shoulders, approached me with a big smile as if he were in a good mood. Then, he gently brushed my messy hair.

“It’s nice to be able to pay your head while looking at each other.”

Instead of Sylvie’s front paw, which was always smaller than my hand, a soft, warm, human hand stroked my head.

My chest tickled slightly at the touch of his hand, so I pulled away slightly.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s a compliment. Now I think I can really protect you.”

“Go away! I still haven’t recognized you as Sylvie yet! And-”

“And?”

“I heard your human form was cool! But why are you a kid?!”

“Huh?”

Although his face was not much different from mine, I spat out those words because I didn’t want him to suddenly pretend to be an adult, but Sylvie’s face hardened, as if the sky had collapsed.

Sylvie was the only one who always kept his mouth shut when embarrassed.

There was also a wrinkle on the bridge of his nose when he got embarrassed.

Silver hair and blue eyes – he really did resemble Sylvie.

‘It really is Sylvie.’

I wanted to believe that he wasn’t, but no matter how I looked at it, it seemed that Sylvie was right.

“I…”

After a long time, Sylvie moved his mouth very slowly.

“You?”

“I mean… I didn’t know I would be this small.”

“What?”

“To be honest…”

Sylvie, who had a somewhat gloomy expression on his face, pouted his lips.
