Maybe ten years old at most.
The child was so terrified that she was speechless, unable to say anything, just crying.
Lloyd looked at the child with sharp eyes and asked suspiciously.
“How did you get here?”
He was already sensitive enough about Aria’s nearly getting injured incident.
The child’s shoulders shuddered at the frosty voice. And she began to tremble like a swaying tree.
“My, my mom told me to go here, she, she told me not to move, but I’m, I’m scared, so I’m going to wait somewhere else….”
It was difficult to understand what she was saying because of her mumbling tone and low whispering voice.
Lloyd frowned for a moment and asked.
“What?”
Perhaps she got frightened again, the child made a loud ‘gasp!’ and hid behind Aria’s back.
“It looks like the child got abandoned…”
Aria, who roughly understood the child’s words with her keen hearing, muttered with a serious expression.
The child was abandoned by her parents in the Ingo Mountains.
Aria was naturally forced to recall her own past.
‘Of course, I was the one who started the situation back then.’
Does this child know that she has been abandoned by her parents?
Of course, she would know. How quick witted are kids? It’s probably just that she trusted her parents. Thinking that they would never have abandoned her.
“It looks like they want to abandon her in this place.”
Lloyd, who inferred all the circumstances, gave a twisted smile.
Abandoning a child in the mountains of Grand Duchy Valentine, where all kinds of atrocious rumors circulate. Their intentions were so obvious.
They just wanted the child to be killed by the devil.
“The devil’s job isn’t to kill a naughty kid, it’s to torture criminals in a pit of fire.”
Lloyd looked up and down for a moment, plotting something.
He doesn’t know who the child’s parents are, but he intends to make them pay the price of almost getting Aria seriously injured.
“What is your name?”
“Name, name…”
As if the child couldn’t remember it right away, she paused for a moment, then said.
“Laura.”
It felt strange not being able to answer her own name right away. But Aria did not express it and held out her hand.
“Laura, it’s dangerous here, so let’s go together. If you go to the castle, I’ll tell them to find a place to stay for a while while your mother comes.”
Laura gave a blank look and then nodded her head. And she mumbled in a shy voice, clutching the hem of Aria’s skirt.
“Yes, Sister…”
…… Sister? No, of course, Aria is an older sister, but…….
Aria felt a guilty conscience.
‘But what was that song?’
The song that came to mind when the child was about to be eaten by the carnivorous rabbit.
‘I thought I knew what song it was when I was going to sing it…….’
