The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, then he placed the sweaty handkerchief in his arms and handed the kitten wrapped in a blanket.

 

In a bundle of blankets, the kitten was in it, Mamela carefully took the blanket and held it in her arms.

 

Thanking the doctor, Mamela headed to the carriage with the blanket in her arms. 

 

Jonah, who was following her, spoke carefully.
“Well, miss,”

 

“Yes?”

 

“What are you going to do with the cat? You’re not going to take it with you, are you?”

 

Asked by Jonah, Mamela answered with an innocent smile.

 

“I will raise it.”

 

At her cheerful answer, Jonah doubted her ears.

 

The Duke of Cadellarot was a man who hated and despised animals and detested them with contempt. 

 

There’s no way his sister, Mamela, doesn’t know about it.

 

Jonah, who turned pale, asked back, despite her rudeness.

 

“Are you serious?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Lovely golden eyes turned to the cat in her arms.

 

It occurred to Jonah that she should stop her.
It was clear that the cat would be in trouble if it was caught by the Duke’s tricky guard in all seasons of the year.

 

Jonah hurried before Mamela got into the carriage.

“Lady, the headmaster will definitely tell you to abandon the cat.”

 

“Well, if so I’m going to hide the cat for a while.”

 

“What? What if you get caught?”

 

“I’ll ask my brother; I can’t keep it a secret forever, right?”

 

Mamela answered calmly and climbed into the carriage. 

 

When Jonah couldn’t take her eyes off the mixture of shock and concern, Mamela said.

 

“Don’t worry.
My brother will do whatever I ask.”

 

At the end of the sentence, there she wore the happiest smile in the world.

My body was as heavy as cotton soaked in water.
I trembled and lifted my eyelids with difficulty.

 

As I slowly regained consciousness, burning pain in my stomach came over.

 

‘Aw…It hurts!’

 

A certain face suddenly appeared in my sight as I uttered a groan.
I almost screamed in surprise.

 

“Meow, you’re finally awake!” (Mamela)

 

My heart pounded.
I barely squeezed my voice out startled.

 

“Meow…?”

 

‘Who is that kid?’

 

It was a girl with flowing blonde hair and yellow golden eyes like fireflies.
I was wary of the girl and quickly snorted.

An unfamiliar smell.
It was the first time I smelled it.

 

The girl jumped up, unable to relax her guard.
I trembled again, startled, and glared at the girl.

 

The girl looked at me halfheartedly and smiled while making eye contact.

 

“Meow, please wait a little bit.
I’ll bring the food.”

 

The girl left me in the room, and my eyes rolled looking around the room.

 

“Where the hell am I? Why does my whole body hurt so much?”

 

In particular, my stomach hurt so badly that I even thought I might die soon.

 

‘Did that kid hurt me earlier?’

 

Shaking my head, I stared at the door where the girl disappeared.
If that’s true, I have to run away quickly in th
