Vampire'S Secret Baby
|69|. The Cunning Little Fox

"The boy has never been like this before. He always obeyed and stayed home. So running away like this, I really didn't know where to look" Annette's voice sounded quivering and covered in indescribable worry.

"Then where does he usually go to play?" Ask Egbert later. For a moment he thought, why should he bother looking for a human child belonging to his blood servant?

Long thought, the last time he sighed slowly would not know why he had to do it.

"I really don't know" Again Annette responded to Egbert's question by shaking her head slowly, her voice sounding hoarse as if she were going to cry, "She doesn't have the taste to play like children in general. After school, he was sitting quietly at home struggling with books"

Annette was happy that Aldrich had this habit. Because he was too afraid that if Aldrich played outside and interacted too often with children his age, people would find some peculiarities in Aldrich.

"Then we just need to find him at his school"

"Why is that?" The sudden statement made a pair of Annette eyebrows clink together and her eyes glanced at Egbert.

"I can see the boring character of your son" Egbert said, his eyes unfailing to look ahead focused on seeing the road slightly filled with passing vehicles, "You said he didn't like to play, did he? He also does not like interaction with the outside world, which is why after school he just sits quietly at home. I think a kid like this if he ran away from home, he wouldn't find a hard place to go. Because he would only find one place where one could easily access it and find it"

"..." - ".Annette listened to the explanation with a deep frown.

At a glance Egbert turned his head and saw Annette's serious expression trying to digest her words, he continued further, "Because in fact, he instead wants to escape. This was merely a special form of opposition to his dissatisfaction"

"..." - ".Annette turned to Egbert, momentarily feeling quite impressed as the cold man spoke quite a lot to her. Away from the usual that is always economical, cool and straight to the point.

"Huh, your son is a little genius who knows how to make good use of your weak points. He must have guessed how anxious and panicked you are now"

"Well, which mother isn't anxious and panicked to find out her son is running away from home?" Duke Annette. The base of his nose feels sour thinking about last night's events. If he could turn the clock around, he would definitely be more restrained so as not to bully Aldrich with his loud voice.

"That's right. But isn't your son five years old?"

"Eum"

"Which normal child dares to do such a brave opposition at such a small age. That's why I said, next to genius, your son is obviously a cunning little fox"

"You liken my son to a fox?" Annette's not happy.

"That's just a metaphor, why are you so sensitive. Besides the parable I gave was not bad either" It was obviously like a compliment in his opinion, but it seemed like the blood servant girl was not thinking the same thing. The girl clearly flashed a sharp gaze— was clearly vehemently opposed to that.

In response, Egbert simply pursed his lips tightly, not speaking anymore.

......................

Aldrich in his school uniform, has been running in a sunny early morning using his superpowers as a half-vampire boy. The run is as fast as the shadow, several times stealing the limelight of the wondering riders...

What did they just see?

But the question just left.

With his running speed, he could get to school without feeling tired. To avoid the limelight, he darted to the back door of the school to enter. Finding it locked, he jumped through the wall with his nimble.

The action managed to make one of the little girls who was the same age as him, aghast in shock.

"K-you—"

"Sheel!" Aldrich put his finger on his lips, telling the little girl to be quiet and not talk much.

Although she had not been able to deny her surprise, the little girl slowly nodded. His shoulder-black curly hair was on the braid and slightly swayed by the wind.

"What are you doing here?" Aldrich looked at the most beautiful little girl in his school with interested eyes.

"Kittens" Little girl with sweet braided hair, pointing to the bushes. Inside there hid a black white-haired kitten that looked very adorable to the eye.

"Do you like cats?" Instead of staring at the kitten hiding there, Aldrich took more interest in Maribel's beautiful face which was very cute and adorable.

"Eum" nods Maribel with her spirit.

"Why?"

"Kalena is cute" she said, with her small lip muzzle advancing incessantly forming an adorable plain smile.

His slurred voice made Aldrich pressed his lips tightly to refrain from chuckling, "Oh!"

"Why did you jump off the wall? You don't fall?" Ask.

Her voice sounds so cute. Making Aldrich clench his hands, refraining from pinching Maribel's chubby cheek, Aldrich's "Engga" shook his head.

"Next time don't jump again. That's a danger, telus if the mother gulu tauk, you will be in the evenin loh"

"Pftt" This time Aldrich can't hold it anymore. A little laugh just escaped his mouth.

"Why are you laughing?" Maribel's pair of charming brown eyes, looking at Aldrich confused, "I'm selius loh, later the mother gulu even, you don't tat um?"

Almost Aldrich's hand floated, ready to pinch Maribel's chubby cheek, but he immediately crossed his hand back, "Try following me, mother gu-ru"

"Mother gulu" said Maribel with her nurut.

"Gu-ru"

"Furr"

"It's not 'L' but 'R', gu-ru" Aldrich said. He was really confused, why most of his friends were still not so clear when talking.

"..." - ".This time Maribel did not open her mouth, her little lips tightly clenched and looked at Aldrich silently.

Looking at Maribel who was silent, Aldrich again said, "Let's follow me once again, gu-ru"

"..." - ".Maribel shook her head in refusal.

"Why?"

"Sir bica. Washable" He complained.

Which again managed to make Aldrich chuckle. Maribel just smiled shyly in response to that. He is not very familiar with Aldrich even though they are classmates.

Because Aldrich tends to be quiet, not talk much and often refused every time he was invited to play.

"Bas with the little boy!" Aldrich was half laughing.

"You are also a child" said Maribel who did not accept if he was the only one who was so talked.

"But I'm not slurred like you" replies Aldrich again who does not want to lose.

Maribel stepped closer to Aldrich's side, raised his hand over his head and prepared to measure his height and compare it to Aldrich's, "But our height is similar"

Aldrich began to recognize Maribel as...

A little girl who doesn't want to lose!
