The hunter�s excellent vision scanned the interior.

Neigh.

He heard the horse whinny.

Because animals do not lie, the impulsive Vincent�s heart relaxed a bit.

�There�s nowhere to hide.�

There was also no sign that anyone had broken in.

�But, how�?�

Vincent looked at the bundle laying on the straw bed.

The baby, who seemed to be about two months old, was crying with a frown on their face.

Vincent hurriedly hid the axe behind his back.

When he went down to kneel in front of the bundle, he threw the metal somewhere in the corner.

�Wah! Wah!�

There was a baby, as pretty as the moon.

A baby who didn�t know anything yet, who�d just been born, and would one day spread his name around the world.

At that moment, the baby saw the adult�s face and stopped crying, a smile spreading across his face.

Vincent�s lips trembled.

Then, as if he was struck by lightning, he stood up and ran out of the stables.

�Who is it?! Who�s pulling a prank on me?! Abandoning a child! You bastard, come out!�

His roar rang throughout the mountain.

�Come out! Really?! How can you abandon a child?! You�re a monster! You know that?!�

There was still no answer.

�You�re really abandoning the baby? I�m giving you no more chances! If you show up in front of me, I�ll turn your face into a rice cake!�

Vincent shouted with all his might.

He didn�t want to have any regrets when he looked back on this day in the distant future.

�Haah. Haaah��

Vincent, after a few moments of staring into the darkness, went back into the stable, breathing heavily.

The baby was asleep, perhaps exhausted from crying.

Holding the baby in trembling hands, he gently pressed his ear to the baby�s little chest.

�Oh��

His heart was beating much faster than an adult�s. JrNovels.com
