That evening.

 

Elton lined up the soldiers and other servants in front of the front gate of the mansion.

 

“Have you all seen Baby today? I showed her face to you so that in the future, when you discover Little Baby near the separate house, you won’t accidentally hurt her. Be careful. Please remember that.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Yup.”

 

“Okay.”

 

The various races answered in unison. Elton nodded lightly.

 

“Everyone must have carefully hidden the thing about the mixed non-human bloodlines, right?”

 

“….”

 

“Don’t tell me you got caught? Who was it? The elf warriors? The werewolves? Or the kitchen vampires?”

 

Everyone raised their hands in unison. Elton felt his head starting to throb.

 

“All of us.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“But it seemed like as soon as she saw us, she knew…? The Baby.”

 

Lef said as he scratched his head.

 

“….”

 

“So… Are you saying that all your identities were completely discovered?”

 

“Yes.”

 

 

[But Mwister, why did you say the wyvern was a bird?] 

 

[But that’s a wyvern… Don’t the Elf Warriors ride wyverns and go awound with it?] 

 

[The Mister Werewolves are reawwy strong! That’s why you can swing a big shiny blade like that!]

 

[Next time, show all of your cool figures!]

 

[Thank you for working in the kitchen, even during both day and night. Mwister white vampiresh.]

 

 

Elton was speechless.

 

“Just how did she…”

 

“We are also curious about that.”

 

The elf soldiers scratched their heads as if deeply troubled.

 

“How does she know such information?”

 

“Berry and Marie will come soon.”

 

“When they come, I’ll have to ask them about Baby’s usual behavior.”

 

Servant.

 

They were the so-called lower-class species who served the dragons.

 

But, there was no such thing as the secret of their bloodline being known to the outside world. 

 

Elton frowned.

 

 

***

 

 

Sephiel was lying in bed.

 

“But, Baby.”

 

Berry asked.

 

“Just how did you notice the true identity of our servants today?”

 

“Um…. Thwat is….. I read ith from a bwook. That the dwagon has a servant. The content is….” [Um…. That is….. I read it from a book. That the dragon has a servant. The content is….]

 

Berry and Marie looked at each other at the same time.

 

“How can that kind of…”

 

“In the Magic Kingdom where I was bworn… There are a lot of books… And… The Royal Family learns the ancient language… In ancient language bwooks… There are a lot of secwets…” [In the Magic Kingdom where I was born… There are a lot of books… And… The Royal Family learns the ancient language…. In ancient language books…. There are a lot of secrets….]

 

Sephiel rubbed her constantly closing eyes with her small fist.

 

‘Have you heard of it? Prior learning.’

 

The royal prison where Sephiel was confined.

 

Although it was a truth that she only found out later, right before she died.

 

It was the prison where the red-eyed royal children like Sephiel lived.

 

Among them, there was a princess who had a relatively, even though just a little, generous father. The child collected a bunch of rare books.

 

It was also full of really rare ancient language books.

 

‘Yeah, for some reason, I can read ancient demon language.’

 

All members of the Allegro Royal Family could use the ancient official language.

 

However, the ancient language of different races’ language couldn’t be used by just anyone. Only those of special bloodline could read it. But—

 

‘Yes. I’m saying that I could read that.’

 

The book of the demons from about 300 years ago. In it, there was a record of the Grand Duke Family’s servants and the race which they belonged to.

 

‘Thus, I knew well what each race liked and disliked.’

 

For example, the elves were good-looking and they liked to be praised for their appearance.

 

Or, what kind of elves ride and go around with wyverns.

 

Or, the fact that werewolves are obsessed with weapons.

 

It was true that Sephiel was expecting to meet them.

 

She wanted to see the different races that were only mentioned in the legends, as well as the mixed-bloods in person. Unexpectedly, everyone was kind.

 

‘But, was I supposed to pretend like I didn’t know? Is it because I don’t know how to read the mood?’

 

However, everyone seemed to be happy.

 

 

[To think that she isn’t afraid of us!]

 

 

There was also a Mister who openly and happily said that. So, Sephiel was satisfied.

 

Sephiel rubbed her eyes while trying to fall asleep.

 

“But, Berry. Marie.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Have you eaten?”

 

Don’t tell me…

 

Berry’s lips trembled.

 

“You know. Owiginally, my famiwy… Gave money to the person who took care of them. But I… My father… I don’t have any money to give to Bewwy and Mawie.” [You know. Originally, my family…. Gave money to the person who took care of them. But I…. My father…. I don’t have any money to give to Berry and Marie.]

 

She remembered the scenes she saw in her previous life. Families paid their aides, and they showed joy and loyalty.

 

That’s why, Sephiel, who had no money to give, was a headache for everyone. She was their master, but also could not be considered a master.

 

‘But I, I really don’t have anything to give.’

 

Moreover, it seemed like Berry and Marie wouldn’t be happy even if she gave them money.

 

“You knwow, I…  It is actually a secret, but….” [You know, I…  It is actually a secret, but….]

 

Sephiel whispered.

 

“I’m so happy to be here. So I’m going to have a good dream today. That’s why…”

 

“I… Dreams… Berry and Marie… Can also watch it…”

 

Berry’s hand, which was stroking Sepiel’s head, fell gently.

 

“But… You can only see the best of the good dreams. It’s a promise…”

 

“….”

 

“Must eat. Must.”

 

Since that was all that she could give.

 

Peacefully.

 

Sephiel slowly fell asleep.

 

‘How did she discover our identities?’

 

Berry and Marie looked at each other.

 

The two sisters were descendants of the night hag. A race that was commonly referred to as succubus. Those who were mixed-blood.

 

Because they were of mixed-blood and their blood was diluted a lot, they could live without eating human dreams. However, a happy dream was a delicacy.

 

“Umnya. Um.”

 

Sephiel was sleeping with the happiest face in the world.

 

That night, Berry and Marie peeped into Sephiel’s dream.

 

 

[Berry, Marie. Look at this! I can throw the ball as far as that.]

 

 

Berry and Marie saw Sephiel playing in red shoes, throwing a ball as big as the moon in the garden of the separate house.

 

After that, Sephiel approached Berry and Marie acting cutely, before giving them a hug.

 

Berry and Marie were smiling with the kindest faces in the world.

 

When they saw the dream, their eyes were teary.

 

“Among all the ones I’ve eaten, this is the loveliest dream.”

 

“Thank you, Baby.”

 

 

***

 

 

“It’s suspicious. I’m saying that it’s suspicious.”

 

“Berry! Marie! That Baby. Just how on earth did she discover our existence?”

 

Berry and Marie belatedly put Sephiel to sleep and arrived at the place where the servants gathered. Berry and Marie were smiling happily.

 

“That person…”

 

“She’s a very smart person.”

 

“Yeah, and she has a very good heart.”

 

“She’s a person who, even though only has very little, will still share everything she has.”

 

“She has the qualities of a royal princess.”

 

“And she deserves to be our madam.”

 

Berry and Marie’s expressions were as follows.

 

‘Cursing our Baby is cursing me.’

 

“So in summary, the newcomer Baby is not afraid of us,” Lef said.

 

“And she’s kind and cute.”

 

“And she’s a person, who is so quick witted, that it’s suspicious?”

 

“It’ll be great if everyone calmed down.”

 

Elton reasoned with them just like the person in charge of the servants would.

 

“It’s not a matter that you can think about simply. No matter how young our opponent is, we have to be fair in this situation. This may not be something we can just overlook.”

 

“…”

 

Elton said, composed.

 

“Anyhow…”

 

“Anyhow?”

 

Berry said.

 

“Isn’t she a child prodigy?”

 

Elton said seriously.

 

“To add to that, a very cute child prodigy.”

 

Berry lost her words for a while, before finally adding.

 

“Then, cuteness and brains. She’s a genius in two areas!”

 

“Oh my gosh, it’s an amazing talent.”

 

In the end, no one was composed.
