Chapter 152

Afterwards, Nicholas muttered, “There were a total of 25 hidden pockets, but unfortunately you couldn’t find them all.”

What a shame. Those pockets I could find!

But unfortunately, for a while, we took a break and drank cool drinks.

After that, we started a new game again, because we were at the age to play for a while.

It was a game of tag.

It is difficult to find if the place is too wide, so we decided to play in a small open space in the middle of the garden.

It was me who lost the tag with the rock, paper, and scissors.

I covered my eyes with the pink eye cover that Ninaina used to take a nap.

It was made of good silk, so it was very soft and fluffy.

“I’ll find you now!”

The surroundings became quiet at my cry. It was clear that everyone held their breath and stood still.

‘Where did everyone hide?’

The may have hid under a bench, behind a tree, or maybe even climbed onto a statue of a fountain.

I wiggled my arms vigorously and stepped forward cautiously. Towards the sound of water.

“…… !”

Finally, something hard touched my fingertips. To the touch, it was stone.

Oh my, is this a fountain? Then…… !

I reached out and stirred vigorously towards the fountain statue.

But I don’t know if it’s because my arms are short, or if there’s no one hiding here, but my fingertips didn’t catch anything.

‘Ugh, I’ll have to look for another place.’

I turned around and walked to another place. And finally…….

“Found it!”

Grabbing what was supposed to be someone’s arm, I exclaimed confidently.

But why? There was no response from the other party.

‘What? Aren’t you supposed to scream that I already found you? Maybe I got it wrong?’

At the strangeness that silence evoked, I slightly lifted my fingertips.

‘Who are you then? But…… I’m sure they would have softened everything from start to finish to play here.’

I just tilted my head. My eyes were covered with a sleeping mask, so I couldn’t see anything.

At that time, there was a hand slowly taking off my eyepatch!

It was a cold hand. It’s like being on a snowy mountain in the middle of winter.

No one in kindergarten has a hand like this?

“…… !”

When my vision brightened, I was surprised.

A boy in a neat black suit was standing in front of me.

A boy with cold silver hair and blue eyes. His eyes were like a deep lake.

He was taller than me, but he didn’t look very old.

The child looked curiously at the pink, fluffy eye cover in my hand for a moment, then gently touched it with his pale white hand.

Then he slowly turned his gaze to me and asked a question.

“Are you a unicorn or an angel?”

…… I’m human? It’s just a headband and fake wings.

However, I only thought to myself, and no words came out of my mouth, perhaps because I was too embarrassed.

I just flapped my lips quietly.

Was my expression a little funny?

For a moment, the boy with a cold face said with a smirk.

“I’m kidding. You look about the same age as me, don’t you.”

“…… who are you?”

I asked a small question in a wary voice. Then the boy replied with a sigh.

“My name is Maya. Maya Tuitte.”

“…… Maya?”

I muttered blankly.

It was because I heard the name and then recognized it.

The boy was an extra in the original story.

The northern Duke of the kingdom, who inherited some royal blood. He’s still a child now, so he’s probably the Small Duke.

He was originally a character who only appeared briefly in the storyline…….

Unlike the original, the kindergarten was created, so it seems that we met when we were young.

‘But how did you get here? Obviously, Maya is a nobleman from another country…….’

At that moment, the boy, no, Maya smiled pretty and nodded at my words.

“Yes, that’s my name. Now tell me your name. What’s your name?”

“My name is Emir. Emir Saeron.”

I hesitated for a moment before answering.

Originally, you shouldn’t give your name to someone you don’t know prematurely, but since the other person revealed his identity first, there was nothing I could do about it.

Then Maya mumbled my name a little and smiled.

“Emir, um. It’s a pretty name.”

“Ah, thank you. But how did you get here? No one is allowed to enter the Imperial Palace…….”

Maya was taken aback by my question for a moment, then answered with a slightly shy voice.

“That’s right, I got lost while visiting the Imperial Palace.”

“…… !”

“Can you show me the way? I have to go back to the guest house.”

I pondered for a moment at Maya’s words.

I was playing tag with the kids right now. Can I go?

It was then.

“Hey, don’t talk to Emir.”

“…… !”

Someone suddenly appeared from behind me and covered me.

It was Cedric. Soon I saw other children running towards me as well.

“Who else…… are you?”

Maya asked a question in bewilderment.

Then Cedric responded with a smirk.

“What’s the big deal?”
