There was always a lot of red and corpses around me.
I didn't have a name. It was always called by number. I don't know the face of my parents, I don't even know if that happened. Probably sold to the baby.
- - - Your name is Luca from today on. ――――――――――
I was given something other than a number for the first time. It was the father of the child that I tried to kill that gave me that.
"You protect that girl. In lieu of that life.
I had no grudges against that girl. I tried to kill him because it was just an order. Still got a little baby with no eyes open. I didn't know why. Because I didn't need to know.
In the middle of the night, on the night when everything was quiet, I snuck into the mansion. It was easy to get in and I lost my mind when I thought this was the house of the Duke of War. But I realized the idea was sweet. The next moment, four whimpering killings hit me. All of that was too sharp and I didn't feel like I could win at all.
Oh, don't die on this, I thought so.
Nothing. Good. There was no point in living. I was rubbish.
They get caught and killed, that's what I thought.
They caught me and brought me in front of the master of the mansion. I thought they would kill me, but my consciousness never interrupted.
I really didn't know what it meant when you told me to protect you. Are you nuts? Not to the point where I say it unexpectedly.
I was hit in the head with immediate effect.
"Touch it.
It was the Target's room that was brought to him by a man who was letting go of his killing spirit, probably the Duke of Listil. One beautiful woman stood holding a baby twisted in cloth. Is this the mistress of the baby's mother?
When I wondered what I would be doing, a baby who would sleep easily in his mother's hands was offered to me. Sleeps easily and well. What is the client so afraid of trying to kill such a child? No, at a time when I'm in this murderous mansion and I don't even cry, maybe this baby is crazy enough and something to be afraid of.
I didn't know what it meant and couldn't reach out. Look at the woman's face.
"It's okay.
I laugh at it and give it away. No, this is crazy, but I tried to kill your daughter. How can you give it to someone like that? Even so, Nico, I couldn't laugh and kill you. I was forced to hand it to you.
"Whoa.
The first baby I had was soft, fuzzy, and very warm. So much so that I might accidentally crush it. It was refreshing to know what to do and really gave me a way out. Besides, the couple doesn't even try to help.
And the baby opened his eyes.
If you're held by a stranger, you're set to cry.
"Hey, cry!
I tried to give it back, but I just laugh when I dull it.
"Ah."
From within my arms, I heard voices. I was frightened.
Fearful, a baby with big, round eyes laughed.

I found out that my heart had caught on. Sometimes, palpitations get severe.
This has never happened before. I found my face turning bright red. No matter how many people you kill, no matter how much blood you bathe in, you've never heard a heart sound like this before. I never even got my face so hot.
"Oh, he liked you.
"Sounds like it.
Then I wasn't allowed to approach that kid. Enough to be allowed to see it in the distance.
I want to be by that kid who grows up every time I see him. Yes, I don't remember when it was at my will anymore.
"Lady."
My husband told me I didn't have to tell him apart that I was an assassin. But I'm going to tell him someday. If you don't like me then, I don't mind telling you to stop being a squire. Because I just keep protecting you from the shadows.
