After I stopped my useless struggle, I realized quite a lot of things after spending plenty of time observing and staying in this shitty room.

First, the maid changes every week.

It was like they were assigned to the bathroom in a way that they were making their best efforts to delay and lessen their time watching after me.

Second, most of the maids do not care about me.

They did not seem to like me very much. It was quite hard to listen to the maid’s gossip since there was only one maid coming in every time.

Third, somehow the old and filthy pacifier in my mouth always keeps me sane.

I would always be sleepy if I wasn’t biting on it. I realized this after three attempts.

Fourth, most of the maids have different personalities and work ethics but they usually come in to feed me at a certain time then they would only come back after four or five hours.

Fifth, I still don’t know who I am.

I’m confident about me being 10 months old. My status was not that low but I was also not welcomed.

Sometimes I could hear them saying something about a half-blood something and a young duke. From how they said it, I think I might be related to that young duke person or something.

Sixth, I’m probably a part of the Clown ducal family of the Heiron Empire. I’m about 97.8% sure about this.

Seventh, after collecting all the stories and conjectures I am probably a baby that’s related to the young duke, Sharendt Clown.

I’m probably not Sharendt’s child since they have called me half-blooded a couple of times. I’m probably an illegitimate child at best.

Eighth… No, then am I the child of that crazy, cold-hearted bastard Sharendt Clown?

No way. Then I’d rather be the child of the head of the family, Deshar Clown. I can even give you some affection. You can even call me a late child.

Ninth, in conclusion I hate Sharendt Clown.

Tenth, if it was Deshar Clown and not Sharendt Clown then does that mean that we are siblings…….

No, let’s stop it here.

Right now I have strongly decided to stop my observation diary. If I continued to think about it more deeply my imagination would definitely run wild.

Anyway, the way they treat me now was completely terrible so my first agenda would be to get out of this house. I would then go to an orphanage somewhere where they wouldn’t hold me back.

But to do that, I have to be able to use magic first.

Right now, most of the mana in my body was lost and the only trace left was the mana that I have generated recently. However, I could use minor floating magic with this amount.

To be honest, it would be faster if I found someone to take care of me but it was troublesome to find new parents.

An orphanage would be the best choice for me.

There would be no lingering affections and no weaknesses.

A family was nothing but a weakness.

Damn!

I didn’t want to be born into this broken family [1] and be raised secretly.

After experiencing things for a month, I have already realized that I was being ignored.

They washed me but they did not wash me well. They only used a wet towel to clean my body.

They also gave my meals inconsistently. Sometimes they would give me one meal in a day. Fortunately, I was still a baby who could only lie down so I could still endure it.

But I still haven’t gotten used to it since I was treated quite better in my last life.

Tsk, starting today I would be going around the place.

The Clown ducal family of the Heiron Empire was well-known for their silver eyes.

To be honest, it wasn’t that difficult to figure out the existence of this body since I was in Heiron Empire and my eyes were silver.

There were quite a lot of tales about the family that possess mysterious silver eyes in the Heiron Empire.

Once there was a heavenly race with beautiful silver eyes that descended from heaven and fell in love with a man.

As a result of their love, the human and the beautiful woman covered with silver scales gave birth to a child.

Surprisingly, the child was born with silver eyes that never existed in the human world.

Ever since then, with the strong bloodline of the heavenly race, the descendants of the family in every generation have always been born with silver eyes.

And one of their descendants were said to have made great contributions to the establishment of the Heiron Empire.

The first emperor greatly admired their loyalty and regarded them as his close friend. He gave them various privileges including their family name, Clown.

Right now, I’m not sure whether it was real. However, thanks to that information it was quite easy to find out who I am.

Whenever the Duke of Clown and Cillophia ran into each other there would always be a big confrontation.

The sword could not defeat any of us, however there were occasions when the sword could defeat magic.

Anyway, a lot of the Empire’s military secrets pass through the basement of Duke Clown so if I do well then I could be able to get a few out of here.

It would be better if I could steal some classified documents before I escape from here.

“Well, don’t cry because it’s noisy just stay there quietly and go to sleep.”

“Abuuung~”

Maid number 4 tapped the side of my pacifier then turned around to leave.

I think I’m going to have a stomachache because of this jet-black pacifier.

It was very obvious that you don’t know how fragile a baby was.

‘I’m going to wipe it off.’

I couldn’t continue to suck on this filthy thing. But if I don’t suck it then I wouldn’t be able to think.

I waved my hand and used magic to quickly get myself out of here.

I clenched my fists and squeezed my whole body tightly as I let out a “kkeung!” sound…!

My body floated up.

My posture is a bit embarrassing but this is the pose that could release the most power.

I’m just a bit embarrassed.

My face blushed fiercely as I waved my hands while I slowly approached the floor.

Fine, I know it was embarrassing.

I tried to suppress my emotions since I was alone but in the end my cheeks were flushed in shame.

I crawled on all fours without any trouble. Of course I could stand with the bars but my posture was very unstable.

Anyways, it was much more comfortable for a baby to crawl.

I was able to crawl through the gap since the door was not closed properly.

Finally!

After a month, I could finally breathe in fresh air. My face naturally brightened.

There was even a long carpet outside so my knees didn’t hurt.

My legs worked diligently as I looked around. It seemed like I was on the 2nd floor so I carefully went around and went straight for the stairs.

I looked down the stairs and with a twitch of my butt I slowly placed my feet down and made my way down the stairs, one step at a time.

‘This feels so awkward because my body is small.’

However, I need to know the structure of the house so I could get some information.

I couldn’t help but imagine the sight of Duke Clown who would be devastated with the loss of information.

Chup, chup.

As I sucked diligently at the pacifier in my mouth, I safely arrived at the foot of the stairs.

With my four limbs working hard, I looked left and right again.

‘I’ll hide behind the pillar first.’

Compared to when I crawled from the marble floor in my small room I was very comfortable since there was a rug outside.

That was why I was twice as fast compared to my usual speed.

‘It’s like I casted a speed reinforcement magic on myself.’

I pulled my arms and legs diligently as I tried to hide myself behind the pillar.

‘So the exit was over there.’

I should first go outside and look around.

My pacifier really sticks to the sides of my mouth.

How to say it, I think it has become quite relaxing. I never thought that I could feel relaxed with a pacifier at my age……

‘It’s a little stiff.’

It would be much nicer if I could add some ingredients and slime liquid to make it clean. One of the properties of slimes was self-purification which made it very easy to manage and maintain.

‘I should develop it later.’

As I thought about it I suddenly whipped my head up.

By the time I tried to develop it, I would probably already be a little girl or maybe even an adult. So why did I even think about it?

I’m probably tired so I started thinking about crazy things. I sighed deeply as I looked at my short arms and legs.

Pububu, maybe it was because I bit  hard on my pacifier that some of my saliva splattered out.

‘Let’s just go.’

I should go outside while the road was still quiet. Once again, I started to use my limbs to look around and was quite surprised with how large things were. However, my arms and legs cramped with pain because the road towards the exit was marble.

‘Phew, finally… the air outside.’

I almost shed tears of joy.

The maids didn’t ventilate my room even once. To be frank, I’m only this healthy because I always purified myself with magic.

‘However, I’m not sure if I purified myself well.’

Anyway, I’m going to have to start dealing with this filthy and smelly pacifier.

Some things to take note of, Heiron Empire was first written as 헤이런 (Heiron) but it suddenly became 헤이른 (Heirun) in this chapter. However, I still maintained Heiron for consistency.
