Please Give Me the Pacifier - Chapter 8

Rustle, rustle.

There were obvious traces of the grass being swept and flattened. One could even hear a rustling sound.

He turned his head to look for the person who intruded without any fear for their lives.

‘……That’s the kid from last time.’

The stain of the Duke of Crown that the trash brother of his left behind, a half-blood with the blood of his trashy brother and the blood of a dirty nobody.

Sharendt Crown thought of pulling the sword on his waist out for a moment.

‘I can say that I thought it was an intruder so I killed it by mistake, right?’

A cruel thought flashed through his mind.

‘But I know that Father will not sit still for that.’

Sharendt Crown respected his father who did not change even if he was growing old.

A respectable person deserves my respect.

‘……My hands are itching to hold it again.’

He thought that he could just turn it all up and take out all of the trash.

It gives me the goosebumps just thinking about dirty blood entering my territory.

Sharendt Crown entered the garden with an obvious look of displeasure.

“Caishan Crown.”

“……hiccup. F, father.”

Caishan, who was crouching down while he was hugging his legs, stood up in a flash. He quickly patted the dirt off of him and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands.

“I, I’m sorry. I came in even if you did not give me any permission.”

“It’s alright. There’s no reason why you can’t come in here.”

The boy looked as if he was in low spirits while Sharendt slowly glanced around his surroundings.

The well-kept garden was ruined here and there. There were weeds and dirt pulled out and strewn everywhere. There were even obvious drag marks all over the place.

“Were you alone here?”

“No, there was a baby.”

“What did it do?”

“Uh…… I think it was splashing the water around.”

Splashing the water?

Caishan tilted his head as he tried to remember it clearly.

I think there was something in her hands while she was splashing the water…

Caishan’s eyes widened when he remembered about the thing that flew up in the sky and fell to the ground in a plop.

“What do babies put in their mouth? I remember her cleaning it.”

“……Was it cleaning a black teat?”

“Yes, I think so.”

Sharendt reached out and patted Caishan’s head.

He knew that his son misses his mother. But bringing in a woman who has already broken off all ties with the house was a complicated matter.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

“Yes. That… Father.”

“What is it?”

“Are you going to punish that baby? Are you going to kick her out?”

Caishan asked with a worried look on his face.

He was not raised to be soft-hearted but Caishan grew with a bit of softness just like his old grandfather.

Sharendt, instead of answering his questions, just pointed his chin out.

‘……It came all the way here just to clean its black teat?’

As far as he knew, the distance from its room to this place was quite far.

Is it a fluke, or is there really a reason for it?

“They are neglecting their duties.”

He thought that he should dismiss the maids responsible for it. Sharendt narrowed his eyes and clicked his tongue when he saw the dirt and weed pulled out of his garden.

Anyway, he didn’t like the idea of it breaking in and intruding his territory.

***

I opened my eyes wide along with the bright sunshine.

‘Uhm. Today too, as the sun shines brightly the smell around me still stinks.’

Usually, people would place the crib where the sun’s rays would not reach it.

‘Won’t I get burned like this?’

The autumn sun is enough to ripen the grains, you know. I don’t even know if there is such a common sense in these maids brains.

‘They should at least know a bit of the basics.’

After I have washed the teat. Even if I bit it all night I still woke up to a pleasant morning.

I had to keep on biting on my teat since my gums have started to become itchy.

‘I don’t even have my front teeth yet.’

I was not quite sure if there was an upper or lower teeth already but I was already getting a bit tired of drinking milk everyday. It would definitely be nice if they brought me some snacks.

Groowl—

My belly clock rang loudly on time.

‘My meal is getting a bit late today.’

I thought about it as I shook my arms and legs in the air diligently as an exercise.

It was an exercise to build strength in my arms and legs. My belly started to uselessly growl again as I exercised.

I felt strange when I realized that my belly growled twice so I lowered my arms and legs.

‘Did I eat yesterday?’

It was good that I got back in the room without being noticed but I couldn’t remember eating yesterday.

I also haven’t seen or heard the maid who always woke me up ever since dawn today.

What’s this? Don’t tell me that they want to kill me by starving me?

Eyyyy. Of course, the room was located in a corner where it could easily be forgotten, and the maids even thought of this place as disgusting and I only have a few cloths and clothings…… And this place might be a bit dirty but……

“Kkeung.”

I stretched out my arms and grabbed on the jail-like railings of my crib as I pulled myself up and planted my butt on the bed.

No, this doesn’t mean that I will let myself starve to death in here.

‘Death by starvation is the second worst type of punishment after burning!’

Don’t tell me it was because of Sharendt Crown?

Did he realize that I entered his garden so he ordered the maids to starve me to death……

If it was necessary, that mean bastard would definitely do every means needed to achieve what he wanted to do.

‘Even Deshar Crown would get touched by a child.’

Then Sharendt Crown was the one who could be so determined to starve a child to death.

I never knew that it would be this sad once I became a baby.

‘You’re going to be next Sharendt Crown, I’ll deal with you once I dealt with Melain.’

You dare to order them to not give me meals, was it to stop me from from growing up?

Kkeung. I stretched my body hard as I let out another weird sound.

If I wanted to survive longer then I have to move less or not at all.

‘Let’s save up some strength and see if we could have some breakthrough.’

Was this the maid’s small revenge? Don’t tell me they noticed that I was gone?

I lied flat on my back. At this point, once I use my mana then I would definitely be using a lot of strength.

Should I wait to see if they just forgot for a moment. Maybe they would be back later…

‘Shall we wait for a bit then?’

I crawled around the narrow crib and stared at the door. I was hoping that it would open soon.

But the morning passed by…

And lunch time came by…

I did not feel any signs of any person moving until the sun that started to set greeted me.

“Abuuuuuuu!”

This can’t go on!

They were starving me to death! How could I live if they wanted to starve me to death?!

I’ll survive even if I have to eat grass. I would not want to die until I get my revenge.

‘I think there’s a little fruit somewhere around here yesterday.’

Or I would look for the kitchen and steal something from there. I can’t starve to death.

I also needed to get something that would give me water but…

‘First, I have to be a bit more precise with my mana.’

In my case, the extent on which I could float objects with my mana would not be helpful to me at all.

I never even thought that I would be threatened with the thought of survival since I’m a baby.

“Hashwi!”

I was so annoyed that I even banged on my bed with my arms and legs.

I cried in my head so no one would hear or recognize my annoyance.

‘I miss the good old days.’

What did I do back then…

I think I might have rolled on the floor after discovering I have magic. Being a magician had a lot of advantages. They would even treat you better once they knew you had magic.

I bounced on my seat when as my eyes shone brightly.

‘First, I should go back to that garden again.’

There was something there that looked like a round fruit.

‘I don’t know what it is but it looks like a fruit so it must be edible.’

I would try a little bit then hide a handful if I found it okay.

I figured out what to eat for now, then should I find out how to collect water then look for the kitchen next?

Once I could control my mana precisely then I could pick out fruits like apple straight from the trees while I’m on my way.

Grooowl.

My stomach grumbled loudly once again. I looked down and shook my head hard.

If I became hungrier than I am now then I wouldn’t be able to control my mana. Then I wouldn’t be able to get out from here.

I should first get in position.

“Kkeung.”

My body trembled when I tried to put strength on my legs. I could now drop on the floor skillfully after some floundering to get in position.

I felt a sharp pain on my palms and knees once they touched the ground.

“Ah!”

I saw my palms getting tinged with several red spots. When I rolled around and stretched my short legs, I saw that my clothes were torn and there was blood staining it.

‘I can do this!’

It was all about getting stronger anyway.

Even if a baby was injured they would also get calluses once they get used to the pain.
