“Bebe. What is this puppy talking about?”

My mother made eye contact with me as if she was deliberately trying to change Sylvie’s words.

“Yes! It’s Sylvie! Sylvie is a silver wolf. He said he would protect me!”

“Didn’t I tell you not to believe everything at face value?”

My mother’s expression, which looked surprised when she saw the puppy, didn’t look so good now.

“Mom, what’s the matter?”

“Bebe, that dog…”

“I’m talking too much so I guess you should stay away from me.”

As if there was nothing wrong, my mother’s face hardened in real time.

“Mom?”

“…”

My mother didn’t say anything she would normally say. On the contrary, she only relaxed her stiff expression.

She took a deep breath and smiled slightly, as if she had made up her mind to do something.

“I thought I’d say it someday, but I didn’t think I’d say it like this.”

“Huh? Mom… can you really use magic?”

“I didn’t expect to be discovered like this…”

Her mother, who had mumbled her words, narrowed her eyes and looked at Sylvie.

“Because of that puppy… I got caught.”

“So what is it…? Mom said you can’t use magic.”

Had I known it, she wouldn’t have died so easily.

My mother met her death so easily that it would be futile every time. We never fought back each time, and even the Emperor abused my mother’s weak body.

‘That’s why I said it was pointless…’

Surely it was, but now she has the power.

“But it is not yet the time to speak about it, Bebe.”

“If it’s not the time to talk… when will you talk about it?”

Knowing everything about my mother, I thought we had no secrets from each other, but I guess that wasn’t my mom.

My mother’s eyes looked different from usual as she stroked my hair.

“Have you been hiding…? Bebe thought she knew everything about her mother… did she…?”

“It is not yet the time. When that time comes… I’ll tell you everything, baby.”

The sense of loss I felt when I realized that the person I thought I knew everything about was indescribable.

‘If I had known that…’

Had I known, there would have been no need to let my mother go so vainly. I wouldn’t have missed my mother and cried every day over the fact that I missed her.

After my mother passed away, the time when I was left alone was lonely, lonely, and terrible.

How sick was she when she died?

‘…Did she really not need it? Was everything all for nothing?’

What did I do? Somehow, something came up in my heart.

“Bebe? Do you understand Mom?”

“…Yes.”

But I couldn’t say anything to my mother.

‘But I hate it… I don’t want my mom to leave. I’m sure my mom will hate me if I ask her.’

I always wanted to be a good daughter in front of my mother. A pretty and cute daughter. That’s why I only want my mom to not leave me.

My mom always liked me the most when I was like a child.

“Are you offended, by any chance?”

“No! But can’t you just tell me?”

“Then…”

Her mother’s eyes looked somewhat sad, but I smiled brighter than ever.

“Now let’s eat. Oh, I’m hungry.”

“You’re going to move on like this?”

But Sylvie clung to my clothes as if he couldn’t understand the situation.

“Yeah! So Sylvie, come here. Don’t bully Mom.”

And then I hugged him.

“Understand? Even if you tease me, you can’t tease my mom.”

“…That’s why I hate humans.”

In an instant, Sylvie’s fluffy paw touched my cheek.

“Because you can’t be honest.”

“Oh, no! I am honest.”

I didn’t want to show my feelings because I always wanted to be a good daughter in front of my mother.

So I took Sylvie in my arms and turned my body around.

“I’m going to ask Mom to go out and get some food!”

“Okay. Go ahead.”

I could feel my mother’s voice drooping a bit more than before.

When I approached the door, I put my head on Sylvie’s forehead and quietly complained.

“You have to keep everything a secret from Mom.”

“Why? Why do humans hide so much?”

“It’s a good lie. People tell good lies for others. So it’s just like that right now.”

“I still don’t understand.”

“But please understand, Sylvie. I want to be happy.”

I said with all my heart.

It was me who felt betrayed by my mother more than anyone.

I didn’t know what kind of magic she was using, but if I had known that my mother could use magic, I wouldn’t have come this far.

There was no need to endure the pain.

But nonetheless, I liked my mother.

“I… I really, really, really love my mom.”

“…I get it. I don’t understand, but my subordinate, if you are, then so be it.”

“Yes! Sylvie is nice!”

“…I’m not nice. If you don’t like it even at all…”
