The Reason I Keep Avoiding My Childhood Friend

I sat on the chair next to the bed and looked down at the little child. Her face, which was originally white, has turned even more pale.

“Little child, what surprised you so much?”

Of course, there was no answer from the unconscious little child.

I was bored just watching the sleeping little child in a reassured state. I heard the sound of the door opening a little and turned around, and Mrs. Seryl came in.

“Young Master, are you here? I’ll take care of Arendine, so go back to your bedroom and rest.”

But I was a little worried and a little sorry, so I find it hard to get up.

“I’ll just stay here.”

“In times like these, it’s best to let them rest.”

I hesitated because Mrs. Seryl seemed to be right, so I decided to leave the room so that the little child could rest. Before I opened the door and left the room, I asked Mrs. Seryl.

“Take care of her when she wakes up.”

“Yes. I will take care of her.”

I closed the door only after hearing the answer. When she wakes up tomorrow, I’ll ask why she collapsed and what shocked her. And from tomorrow, I’ll have to be nicer. Eat foods that are even more delicious and good for her body.

I made a promise like that, but from then on, it was hard to see the little child’s single strand of hair. At first, I thought it was just strangely aligned. And after a few times, I felt uncomfortable and ominous.

So, I purposely asked the little child’s location and went to find her, but when I went there, the little child was gone. She was determined to avoid me. How dare the little child avoid me?

I ran with all my might when I heard that the little child was in the dining room. I ran out of breath after running for a long time, but I couldn’t find the little child in the restaurant.

“What, where is she? They said she’s here.”

I looked around nervously. I couldn’t find the little child either. I was angry at the feeling of betrayal.

I was going to be nice to her! I want to take care of her! Yet she was running away from me! Because I think she is cute! I’m sorry, so I tried to do better!

It pissed me off, so I searched for the little child more eagerly. Her avoidance was the most annoying. I hated people running away from me much more than people swearing at me from behind.

Firstly, when we met, I would try to ask her why she was avoiding me and what the reason was. Still, she passed out because of me, so I will try to look at her in a good light.

But even after a few days passed, the little child was nowhere to be seen in the room or in the dining room. Even when I woke up early in the morning, I couldn’t see her. I didn’t want to do this, but I couldn’t stand it, so I finally ordered the people to bring the little child. Naturally, the little child was brought in the hand of a maid.

“Hello.”

She greets me with a casual expression while being dragged by force. However, she must have been eating well as her face looked fine. I was worried that she would starve because I couldn’t see her in the dining room. No, why am I worried? This naughty little child!

“Is it so hard to see your face? You’re running away from me, aren’t you?”

“No.”

When I asked if she was running away from me, she said no. I hated her tilting her head with a clean face, so I grabbed both cheeks and pressed them tightly so she could not move them.

I was obviously trying to get angry, but her round eyes were a little cute, and her cheeks were soft against the palm of my hand. It was soft. It tickles against my fingertips. I held back what I wanted to do.

My heart is beating strangely. It felt like my face was going to turn red. I was at a loss for words in the eyes staring at me. Hey, this little child isn’t really going to run away. Actually, there’s no reason for her to avoid me, right?

“I’m enduring because I don’t have any evidence, but just keep running away like that.”

I decided to give her one more chance. So I just gave her a little warning and fed her again.

Then this little child started running away without fear. I thought she was like a squirrel, but she disappeared so quickly that she could be a real flying squirrel. Even though I ordered someone to find her, they couldn’t find her.

“This little child is truly! If you get caught, I won’t let you go!”

Just you see, I mean it. I never tolerate avoiding and ignoring. I was trying to be nice, I was trying to be nice, but I hated if they ran away in the end. Besides, it was not easy to find the little child because she was small.

I searched and searched, but couldn’t find her. Everyone has failed even if they tried. The more I did, the more my anger grew.

Then the day came. When my father returned from the expedition, the Grand Duke’s residence went chaotic. I heard that Commander Hertman was seriously injured protecting Father. My heart sank

My Father came back fine, but the little child’s father didn’t. And I was sorry that the reason was my father. I finally got restless. Meanwhile, the little child disappeared in the arms of Lieutenant Commander Holt. We parted without saying goodbye because they were going to the injured Commander Hertman.

Will she cry because she is a child? I will never forget the expression on the little child’s face when she heard the news that Commander Hertman was injured. Her face looked like she would faint again. It also seemed to contain resentment. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t sleep well at night. It was unfortunate that the little child ran away, but I agreed to forgive her.

A few days later, Commander Hertman went to work. I was relieved to see his neat appearance. The little child will be fine. I don’t have to worry. So I thought that my relationship with the little child would end. But Father invited the little child. He said we would have dinner together. Grandfather dressed me up nicely.
