**Hello this chapter marks the end of the 1st volume 😘 **

After my snack, feeling a bit drunk, I followed Eleanor-sama's scent to join up with her.

"... Over there, they've been doing something scary"

*beso beso* While crying, I hugged Eleanor-sama, Eleanor-sama let me purr on her lap,

"You know, we left lots of markers when we came here. Soon my husband and Folt-sama will be here to save us, let's wait together."

She said to me.

I must seem super sly for a three-year-old. Actually I'm not acting... I was just crying from being drunk.

I'm a bit [Inebriated] from having too much to drink while I was in cat form, my bad...

And then, in less than half a day, Father came to help along with hundreds of knights.

Kyaa, so cool. Where is Eleanor-sama's husband? Dunno. Is Father a soldier? At last, the handsome Father I wanted to see has secured me. My breathing was constricted from being Squeeeezed by his hug; I completely missed what he said.

Once I calmed down, I gave thanks in my heart to the huge amount of people for saving me, sorry for making you worried.

Incidentally, when I woke up the next day... I had a hangover. No more food in the near future.

***

In the surroundings of the Royal Capital an incident occurred: a mass kidnapping of children, high treason, and, worst of all, another demon summoning incident, with every suspect killed by the summoned demon.

Out of the kidnapped children, the locals and travelers that had been taken recently were identified and investigated, so most of them have been safely returned.

The ringleader, Marquis Brunnow was confirmed dead, after which his family fell into ruin. Several other noble families also disappeared from the Holy Kingdom.

A witnessed collaborator in the demon summoning, The Duchess of Koeru, Albertine, had also been confirmed dead. While not the head of the family, high treason was not a light crime. Inside information about the Duke, a leading figure of the nation, was withheld, but the Koeru Dukedom is considered de facto crushed.

At the same time, the second prince who had left the royal family, releasing his right to the throne, did not return to the Koeru ducal house. Instead he formed a new house. One which held the same name as the royal family: [Verusenia].

Together with his new wife... along with the still young [Princess].

***

Two months from that incident, I finally became four years old.

Four years in this body... after all this time, my current life is comfortable. My demonic thoughts are back to some extent, but strangely my human part, my [Human Heart] is stronger.

On my birthday, I got lots of presents from everyone. Rick had a luxurious birthday, but my party just had my whole family: that style made me happier.

Shelly also came from the Royal Capital. The flower and herb seed set she gave made me happy. She had a matching set, too.

Rick also stopped by, for some reason.

Staring at my face, stroking my hair "...crap..." I say on my way back... Something in that child feels similar to [That Man].

Furthermore, from him I got a necklace with a blue stone. And, most likely... Bonbons.
