Chapter 17

Luria and Da-u

Three Days After the Attack.

I woke up and called out:
โ€œDa-u?โ€

Immediately, the puppy lying beside me eagerly sniffed at me with great enthusiasm.

โ€œDa-u~ (Good morning).โ€
โ€œKyun!โ€

The puppy rolled onto its back, trying to slide its body under my hand. It seemed to want to be petted.

โ€œDa-u (Well, I guess I have no choice).โ€

Since Iโ€™m just a baby, I canโ€™t move my arms and legs freely. However, if someone places themselves under my hand, I have no choice but to try my best.

โ€œDa-u, da-u, da-u!โ€
โ€œPiii!โ€

I moved my hand to pet the puppy. Or rather, it might be more accurate to say I was lightly slapping it. But since the puppy was overjoyed, I figured it was fine.

While I was playing with the puppy, someone spoke up:
โ€œOh my, Da-u. Lady Luria is awake, isnโ€™t she?โ€
โ€œWoof.โ€
โ€œThank you for letting me know.โ€

The nanny said this as she gently stroked my head.

โ€œDa-u? (Da-u?)โ€
โ€œAuu.โ€

The puppy wagged its tail happily. For some reason, the puppy, who was once called Leonardo, was now referred to as Da-u.

I thought Da-u suited the puppy better anyway.

Apparently, Da-u had earned the right to stay in my crib. Since the day of the attack, every time I woke up, Da-u was in the crib with me. Neither my mother nor the nanny seemed inclined to remove him anymore.

It must have been because he protected me from the attackers.

My parents must be the type to reward loyalty.

โ€œDa-u~ (Thank you, Father).โ€

I expressed my gratitude to my father, who wasnโ€™t here at the moment.

โ€œDa-u (Thank you too, Da-u).โ€
โ€œKyun.โ€

Da-u licked my hand happily.

Even as a baby, Da-u had risked his life to protect me. He was a remarkable and loyal pup.

Just then, my older sister entered the room.

โ€œLuria, youโ€™re awake. Youโ€™re as adorable as ever today.โ€
โ€œKyah kyah (Youโ€™re adorable too, Sister).โ€
โ€œShall I read you a book?โ€

My sister always read me stories and sang lullabies. Her singing always made me sleepy, and Iโ€™d drift off to sleep with Da-u by my side.

Sleeping, waking up, drinking milk, and playing with Da-u. Watching Da-u was quite entertaining.

Although Da-u mostly stayed in the crib with me, he sometimes ran outside. He needed the exercise, so I thought he should run more often.

When my father was in the room, Da-u would sometimes leave and not return for a while. He was probably running around the mansion. Perhaps he trusted my father to guard me in his place.

One day, after playing outside, Da-u returned with my mother.

โ€œWhatโ€™s the matter, Amalia?โ€
โ€œWe need to discipline him.โ€

With that, my mother said,
โ€œDa-u.โ€
โ€œWoof?!โ€

She made Da-u sit in my room and stared him straight in the eye.

โ€œDa-u, your toilet is here.โ€
โ€œWoof?โ€
โ€œYou mustnโ€™t pee anywhere else.โ€
โ€œWaa-ooh?โ€

Da-u tilted his head, seemingly unsure why he was being scolded.

My father chuckled at this.
โ€œDid he do it again?โ€
โ€œYes, he seems to have wanted to mark his territory.โ€

It appeared Da-u had peed in various places around the mansion. What a troublesome pup.

โ€œI tried placing a toilet in my room, but he never used it. So I had to put one in Luriaโ€™s room, where he spends the most time.โ€
โ€œAnd itโ€™s still not working?โ€
โ€œExactly. Iโ€™m starting to wonder if weโ€™ll have to keep him outside.โ€

That would be cruel.

Da-u was smart enough not to do his business in my room.

Or waitโ€ฆ Could it be that instead of using the toilet in my room, he was going around marking spots elsewhere in the mansion?

โ€œDa-u!โ€
โ€œWoof?โ€
โ€œDa-a-u, da-u! (Da-u, use the toilet properly!)โ€
โ€œWah-ooh.โ€

Perhaps Da-u was trying to protect me by marking his territory to ward off intruders.

But marking territory didnโ€™t mean much to humans. It was just meaningless peeing.

โ€œDa-u! (If you keep this up, theyโ€™ll make you live outside!)โ€
โ€œWoof?!โ€

Though I could only say โ€œDa-u,โ€ I tried my best to persuade him. Maybe, just maybe, heโ€™d understand.

Eventually, after some scolding and training, Da-u learned to use the designated toilet. He even barked to notify the maids after he was done.

Thanks to Da-u, my room stayed clean and odor-free.

โ€œDa-u is such a clever puppy.โ€
โ€œWoof~.โ€

Pleased by the praise, Da-u even started alerting people when I soiled my diaper.

โ€œHmm? Da-u, did Lady Luria need a diaper change?โ€
โ€œWoof~.โ€

As the nanny changed me, Da-u watched with a smug expression.

โ€œLady Luria is such a calm baby. Thank goodness for Da-u. Youโ€™re such a good boy.โ€
โ€œWoof~.โ€

After receiving lots of praise, Da-u would gently pat my head with his paw.

โ€œDa-u?โ€
โ€œWoof!โ€

Then heโ€™d wag his tail vigorously.

I was sure Da-u was trying to praise me in return. Just as he was praised for doing the right thing, he mustโ€™ve thought I deserved the same for doing mine.

โ€œDa-u! (Thank you!)โ€

I lightly patted Da-uโ€™s head with both hands. He wagged his tail happily, then hopped off the crib and dashed towards the door.

โ€œDa-u is full of energy today,โ€ my brother said as Da-u excitedly jumped up to greet him.
