He must've noticed my insatisfaction but he took my silence as a yes and smiled. Then he gave me back my Blackie.

"Here, take it."

Blackieeee! Wahhh!

I held Blackie tight and backed away in case he tries ti take him away from me again. Blackie seemed to be scared too and shivered in fear.

"I really must go. Using mana for this little thing makes me feel bad."

Crowl, shoo! Go away!

I set my guard while hugging Blackie tight in my arms. You won't say that your changed your mind now, right?

Gasp. I was surprised when he suddenly turned back to see me. Wahh, I'm gonna have hicups.

"What's your name?"

"What will you do if you know?"

Ah, I accidentally spat out the words without thinking. Then this dude made a sad face as if he felt unfair that he was misunderstood.

"Why are you acting this way? I told you I'm not a bad wizard."

But that only made me hate him more. When I stayed still without a word hugging Blackie, he sighed and spoke.

"Then know my name. I'm Lucas. Call my name next time we meet."

No, no, no! I don't wanna call your name or see you ever again!

And it was really fortunate the he actually looked like he was going to leave. And I then witnessed something amazing once again.

Snap.

Very mysterious bubbles were summoned before my eyes. Before being disappearing completely, he turned his head to face me and smiled.

"I'm going. See ya."

He moved his mouth a few times after those words but I couldn't hear what he said.

I closed my eyes and when I opened it again, he was nowhere to be seen.

***

"Princess, what's that in your arms?"

Felix was on his 40th word of Atlantan when I came back with Blackie. He widened his eyes at Blackie.

"You've made a new friend after leaving me behind."

"I said I wanted to play alone?"

"Yes. I heard princess told Ms Lilly the same. That princess wants to play in the garden without any disruption."

I realized this was Lucas's doing too.

Wow, woooow. That scary bast*rd. If I was gone, no one could've known. Thinking this, I again had a thought that he was really dangerous being to be with.

Qing.

Blackie, I think we lived close to all the psychopaths in the world till now.

"Princess, you've come back right on time. It's snack time."

When I was thinking about the event that occured today, Lilly came in opening the door.

"Today's cake is specially the cake princess likes.... Oh my. What is that?"

She also widened her eyes at Blackie. Now that I think about it, can I have a pet in the palace?

"?"

But Blackie who was calm in my arms till now stood up and hopped to the ground with sparkly eyes.

"Ah, Blackie!"

Black fur creature ran in a speed of raindrop dropping straight to the ground to Lilly who got surprised right after putting the cake down.

"Wait!"

Felix moved to stop Blackie but it was too late.

I didn't know Blackie could move that fast.

Blackie appealed his speed and got on the table hopping onto Felix. And he burried his face right on the dish on the table, then....

Munch munch!

Swalloed the while cake in one bite.

Three of us just watched the black creature munch the whole cake with shock and panic.

Then I shouted 'ah!' in realization.

It was you, chocolate theif!
