“No… Mom, don’t die.”

This is the tenth life.
I’ve witnessed my mother’s death nine times, but it never gets easier.

Thud, thud.

I hear footsteps approaching from afar, and I hurriedly draw a magic circle.
Finally, I’ve succeeded.
At last, we’ve escaped from the emperor who abused my mother and me!

“What are you?”

A man as handsome as if he were sculpted by the gods.
This is Duke Abellant, the man I’ve been searching for.

“I found you in one go. I’ve found my candidate for a dad!”
“…What…? A dad candidate?”
“Yes! Raise me and my mom!”

I didn’t care about the bewildered look he gave me.
He’s the person I’ve chosen to be my dad candidate.

“I’ll make you emperor!”
“Huh…?”
“I’m strong!”

You need me, I’m sure of it.
So, please take care of us!
