“I’ve never even kissed the back of Anastasia’s hand! you… … !”
My brother looked at Mikhail with a very resentful expression.
“… … “You didn’t tell me.”
“Even if I didn’t! “You don’t just touch someone else’s younger sister like that.”
“you were the one who told me to be polite… … .”
Mikhail also looked at him with an unfair face.
As an observer, he was just amazed.
‘I can’t believe my brother is acting like a child like that… … .’
For the most part, my brother was a person who never seemed that embarrassed, let alone made a loud noise.
Sometimes, I thought the words calm and dignified were created for my brother.
The first kiss on the back of my hand in front of such a rare scene was nothing special.
After all, I’m still a baby.
The things you do as a baby don’t matter anyway.
Usually you won’t even remember.
Mikhail was still young – he was six years old, one year younger than my brother. It seemed like my birthday was in February – but there was a chance he would forget about it in about ten years.
Anyway, the arguing between Mikhail and my brother did not last long.
Basically, I have to say that both of them are not suited for their age.
‘The only one who acts her age is my sister.’
To be honest, I was actually glad that they weren’t like children.
Because I am the least childlike person.
Mikhail was allowed to come close to me again only after being warned by my brother that no skin contact was allowed.
He half-crouched down and made eye contact with me.
“amazing. “It’s too small.”
Mikhail muttered as if he was seeing me as a new creature.
“You can’t touch our youngest child.”
“I said it’s not like that.”
Mikhail looked at my brother in a tired tone, then turned his head back to me.
“It’s really small.”
I know I’m small, so can you stop talking about it?
He looked at me, supporting his chin with both hands.
The purple eyes were full of curiosity towards me.
So I also stared at Mikhail intently.
There were things I wanted to know anyway.
but… … .
‘I don’t know. Well, it’s already been over 2,000 years, so it’s harder to remember.’
If it was that important I have known about that.
I decided to leave it alone for now.
Anyway, I always remembered the important things when the time came.
As Mikhail continued to look at me as if observing, I became tired first and turned my head away.
“Wow, your head is moving too?”
Then move. Do I look like a doll or a statue or something?
“Baby, can you stand up? Do you move your hands too? “Look here.”
Then he started pouring out questions he was curious about.
He came a little closer to me, as if crawling, and looked at my hand in wonder.
“How is it so small? “It looks like they took marshmallows and stuck them together.”
Mikhail made a face as if he really wanted to touch my hand and cheek, and finally asked my brother again.
“Can I touch her just once, princess?”
“no.”
“I think it’ll be soft.”
“Our Anastasia is not playing clay.”
“I didn’t say that. It’s just so small, but it moves and it’s amazing. “She doesn’t even cry.”
My brother sighed at Mikhail’s words.
“My mother is worried about that. “Our Anastasia is so gentle that she never cries.”
“Is that something to worry about?”
“It’s something to worry about!”
Despite my brother’s words, Mikhail just looked confused.
I also agreed with his doubts. Well, neither they nor I know the baby very well.
Mikhail looked at me as if he was just amazed by my brother’s words and opened his mouth.
“But other than that, he seems like a normal baby. Small, small again… … .”
“What?”
My brother gave Mikhail another puzzled look.
“why?”
So why are you doing that?
I looked at him with the same questioning eyes as Mikhail.
Then my brother narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth seriously.
“How can our Anastasia be an ordinary baby?”
“then? “Even if it’s a disease to not cry up!”
“Watch your mouth, Michail. no, it’s not”
My brother glared at Mikhail and spoke with a confident face.
“Our Anastasia is not ordinary, she is a very cute, lovely, and angelic baby.”
“… … .”
Mikhail and I both fell silent.
Sorry, brother.
I can’t take your side now either.

Michael was the only successor of the Grand Duke of Leventis.
Unlike my older brother, who had been nominated as the successor but had not yet been decided, Mikhail was truly called the ‘Little Duke’.
He was said to be my older brother’s childhood friend and even though he was still young, he showed exceptional talent in swordsmanship.
Isn’t it amazing, that he learned this much even though he was only six years old.
‘how did I find out this information so quickly?’
I don’t know much about this house yet.
I found out about Mikhail because the maids, who didn’t talk about the duke’s house, occasionally talked about him.
To that extent, Mikhail visited the Duke’s residence often.
especially.
“Baby, I’m here. “Are you having a good time?”
In my room.
Mikhail’s hair was slightly wet as if he had washed up after practicing swordsmanship.
The hair, which was usually calm, became even more subdued, creating a strange atmosphere.
‘He really doesn’t look like he’s six years old in terms of his mood.’
In a very different sense from my brother.
Mikhail Leventis had no parents.
His only family was his grandfather, the current Grand Duke of Leventis.
The Grand Duke was very busy.
For that reason, I didn’t know until now, but it is said that Mikhail stayed in my house for about half of the month.
‘In the name of studying with my brother.’
But these days, instead of half of the month, it seemed like he spent twenty days in and out of the Duke’s residence.
“Baby, won’t you take this and smile today?”
And when his study time is over, he always comes to me and offers me various things.
‘It’s another gem.’
Starting with all kinds of jewelry, weapons, sometimes flowers, and even toys and lace and silk.
The gift offensive began with a question suddenly asked by Mikhail.
“Why isn’t the baby smiling?”
“Oh my, Little Duke. “Our young lady’s smile is not something that just anyone can see.”
“That’s right, that’s right. “we only see her smile after we become very close!”
The maids who saw my smile a couple of months ago responded.
Even though I raised the white flag, I was still a baby with a rare smile.
It’s just because I’m not used to expressing my emotions.
Anyway, from then on, Mikhail brought me things he thought were good things.
For some reason, my brother and sister also talked to Mikhail as if they were bragging.
“Lara, Sasha makes me laugh often! That’s right, Sasha.”
“Anastasia only smiles at her real brother.”
Mikhail made a slightly sullen face at those words.
But he didn’t urge me to get angry or smile quickly.
‘Not like a child… … . No, even adults don’t show that much patience.’
People used to have Random expectations and get angry when things didn’t come true.
However, Mikhail silently gave it to me, perhaps out of curiosity or because he thought it was natural.
Until today.
‘It’s interesting, but… … .’
Are you full of money?
No, it should overflow… … . Because it’s like a grand duke’s house.
No, even if that were the case.
I looked at the palm-sized ruby and sighed.
‘Who brings something like this as a gift to a baby?’
Of course, I had no intention of receiving it.
“Can the little kid even sigh?”
It’s already been a month since I met Mikhail, but he still looks at me like he’s seeing some strange creature.
Moreover, the expression ‘small’ seems to be increasingly emphasized.
That’s right, I don’t want to laugh anymore because it keeps getting smaller and smaller!
‘I feel like I’m growing less, isn’t it because of him?’
Because he possesses magical power.
Of course, I knew better than anyone that this was all my fault.
Even though Mikhail had magical powers, he didn’t know how to use magic at all.
‘It’s a shame, that would have been quite helpful later.’
Even before the time of destruction comes, various events will occur.
Well, but it’s not something I should worry about now that it’s only been 8 months.
If you really need it, you can gently awaken its magical power after it grows a little.
‘What’s urgent for me now is to stand up!’
At this point, you may begin to stand up holding on to something, or start babbling a bit.
It was still sluggish (Feeling lazy and lacking energy.
‘When will I be able to conquer this sofa?’
Perhaps my progress was late, but all the Duke’s people encouraged my progress in walking or babbling.
But this is my 100th baby!
Can it be this late?
As I pondered, I ignored Mikhail, who was kneeling behind me (the no-contact order was still in place).
Since his observations like that didn’t happen every day or two, I tried not to pay attention to them.
however.
‘Uh huh?’
The moment I grabbed the sofa and tried to stand up.
My body tilted backward.
Beans, Degurr-
‘Ouch-’
Even though there was carpet, I felt pain through my soft buttocks.
Not only that but my back and head were also backward…
“Oh, baby!”
“Ouch, girl!”
I felt Mikhail’s hand supporting my shoulder.
‘I… … . ‘You lost your balance?’
It was a shock.
Because I knew my body was growing late, I paid attention to it in many ways.
I didn’t want my family to see a sad face if I got even slightly injured.
‘But, the weight of the head. I… … ?’
As I was shocked and dazed by this absurd fact, the maids hurriedly came and hugged me.
“Miss, aren’t you sick?”
“Are you very surprised? “You can’t even cry-”
No, of course, I was surprised!
I’m not saying I’m so shocked that I can’t even cry!
‘It’s just because it’s ridiculous-‘
The moment I felt unfair.
“I-I’m sorry. “It’s a baby.”
I heard Mikhail’s voice.
He raised his hand cautiously as if he had committed a sin.
Holding the large ruby that was not given to me.
‘It’s you, the culprit of my imbalance!’
I immediately realized the situation.
For some reason, the moment I woke up, the area below my neck felt heavy!
“It’s because I wanted to give it to you, it’s true. I didn’t know you would fall… … .”
That guy had slipped a heavy ruby into my hooded cloak that the maids thought was cute.
Embarrassed and angry, I shouted at Mikhail.
“You go on!”
I do not like you! do.
