Resonance?
I stared at him for a moment at the unexpected words.
“Resonance? What is it?”
“It seems that you and someone share power. You said you felt someone came here, didn’t you?”
I nodded heavily, barely relaxed.
“Yes…!”
“After listening to the story today, I was convinced that it might be something like that.”
His firm words made my lips twitch. Maybe it was because my body had hardened, but I couldn’t turn my head.
Besides, I’ve never heard of resonance anywhere.
As I stared at him with my eyes wide open, he let out a deep sigh.
“Sometimes, people with magic send their voices with magic. But it’s mostly vague expressions and struggles. But if someone’s asking for your help… you’re a person with your own power. It resonates between people.”
“Oh!”
Resonance… Resonance… I couldn’t stop smiling.
“That’s resonance. Usually, it’s common amongst family members such as parents and siblings. Even then, people with similar power sometimes do this.”
His voice seemed unusually moist today.
“I see…”
“Maybe… the pain… the pain you felt, and until your body hardened, may be the same as the other person. Maybe they’re letting you know that they’re in danger.”
“They’re in danger?! They’re sending me a signal but I didn’t know?”
The Grand Duke stroked my head and smiled with the most awkward expression in the world. No matter how dumb you are, you could not know the meaning of that expression.
His face said ‘It’s never okay’.
“No, it’s not dangerous.”
“…Your expression doesn’t look like that at all.”
“…But one thing’s for sure. If the person who sent you the signal was really dangerous, you wouldn’t be safe either.
His lips twisted slightly as his expression darkened.
It even made me feel insecure.
“But don’t worry, Bebe. I’ll get them so that you’ll never feel this pain again…”
“Are you going to save me?”
I looked at him with sparkling eyes.
“Yeah, I’ll save you and see who’s done this to my daughter. If I need to, I’ll kill… no.”
“Huh? If necessary, you’ll kill…?”
“No. Don’t worry. We’ll find them anyway.”
“They must be saved. I need to ask them what’s causing me so much pain.”
But as usual, he still smiled as if he had something to say.
“After that?”
“Anyone who keeps hurting you… well, I don’t know.”
He said he didn’t know, but somehow I felt like I knew how my dad felt about what to do from now on…
‘If you find him, you’re not going to let him go.’
From what I could tell, the Grand Duke’s expression looked a bit crazy!
“Daddy!”
“Yes?”
“If you find them, I want to see them.”
“…It’s dangerous.”
As expected, my dad firmly stopped me.
“Why? I can’t? You must bring them to me. Honestly, you don’t know if they’re right or not.”
“…That’s right.”
In such cases, he was always quick to understand.
“So take me to them physically so I can speak and move.”
“…”
“Physically.”
“…I get it. I’ll physically bring you.”
“Okay! Then, Bebe will sleep now.”
It was really strange. The fact that someone who was not my mom was worried about me, yet felt similar to my mom.
I felt something tickle in my chest.
I avoided his gaze by pulling the blanket up to my chest.
“Yes, of course.”
Smiling sweetly like he was my real father, he nodded and gently brushed my hair.
“Ah, that person made you like this…”
“Huh?”
“Nothing, I’ll find them so go get some sleep.”
“Yeah! And just in case, don’t think about having Cecilia or anyone else next to me because I’m like this. I just want to be comfortable when I sleep.”
For a moment, the body of the Grand Duke, which was about to turn away, flinched.
“Huh?”
“Okay?”
“I’m worried.”
“Still.”
Only then did he firmly nod.
“Phew, I see. I’ll do it if you want. Now, go to bed.”
The Grand Duke, who told me to sleep many times, finally sighed deeply and went out. Then, there was silence in the room. Of course, outside the door, the Grand Duke was noisy for a while, as if he were saying something to Cecilia and the ladies, but then the sound soon calmed down.
Then I stood up, held a penguin doll and stared at my mother.
“Mom.”
When I called my mother again, her long eyelashes lifted this time. My mother, who had been sleeping all this time, opened her eyes very slowly.
“Bebe… Did you sleep well?”
My slightly hoarse-voiced mother called me sleepy, as if to show she had slept for a long time.
Her voice sounded so nice that I sank into my mother’s arms.
“Mom, did you wake up?”
“Yes, in my dream… my baby called me, so I woke up and… there’s Bebe.”
As always, my mother smiled sweetly. Every time she smiled happily, her dimples used to show on her cheeks, but she must be having fun today. I saw her dimples so clearly.
“Really? I kept calling you because I missed my mom.”
“My Bebe.”
My mother, who slowly rose from her seat, hugged me in her arms.
However, my mother’s face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat.
She looked precarious, as if she was barely holding out.
“Mom, are you okay?”
“Of course, Mommy is always fine.”
“You always say it’s okay, but are you?”
Looking at it this way, nothing has changed from the past. Mom used to lie to me all the time. Since a long time ago, she always looked pale.
She pouted her lips at my words and laughed.
‘If I’m worried about you… you get sad.’
I laughed as if I knew nothing about it.
“It’s true!”
But my mother’s body was just as wobbly, as if she would fall asleep right away.
I gently brushed my mother’s cheeks.
“Mom! Mom!”
“Yes?”
“You know what? Bebe loves Mommy so much.”
I rubbed my head in my mother’s arms.
“All of a sudden? Well, I love you so much, Bebe.”
Before my mom could fall asleep, I wanted to fully convey my feelings to her.
“So Mom, if there’s anything you want to say to Bebe, say it! Bebe can accept anything! Even if it’s a lie! I’ll believe everything you say. So, do you have anything to tell me?”
Contrary to what I expected that she would say anything more, my mom nodded quietly and slowly so she laid herself down again.
“Bebe… Mommy is so sleepy, so I’ll need to sleep a little longer. Is that okay?”
“Okay! Sleep well, Mom!”
“Yeah, I’m going to wake up soon so… don’t worry. Should I stay with you?”
“Yes!’
Just in case my mom was worried, I lied down next to her and sank into her chest.
She was so unwell that as soon as my mother closed her eyes, she fell asleep quickly.
The sound of birds chirping filled the room.
“Mom… Tomorrow is the day the priest is supposed to come, so just wait for one more day, okay…?”
Looking at my unresponsive mom, I had to stay awake all night in case she left me.
The next day…
Cecilia’s face turned pale when she visited the room early in the morning.
“Oh my God, My Lady. What’s wrong with your face?”
“Huh? Why? Is my face weird?”
At that, Cecilia brought a small hand mirror and flashed it towards me.
It’s not that, but it could be because I couldn’t sleep at night, so anyone could tell that I was in a bad condition.
“Oh, that’s very strange.
“Oh my God… I can’t. But the doctor’s treatment…”
“No, I’m fine. But Cecilia, when is the priest coming?”
Cecilia, who sighed deeply at my words, bit her lips tightly.
“He’ll be here any minute. His Highness told me to come early. I heard about it.”
“Really? That’s a relief. Then Cecilia, I have a favor to ask you…”
“Yes?”
“Yes, just until the priest comes… I’m going to sleep for a while… Can you look after Mom?”
Cecilia tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand what I was saying. But before I could explain to her, I fell asleep.
