Volume 1 Chapter 2 Awakening
'Thank you'
I hear that voice again.
"Cain, Cain, be strong, wake up."
"Young master, be careful."
"Cain, do your best!"
I hear someone encouraging and calling me near my ears.
My consciousness is slowly waking up.
"Ah, Cain woke up!"
"Contact the master quickly!"
I hear footsteps as someone opens the door and runs away.
A white woman in her mid-thirties with long blonde hair was looking at me.
"Mother, what's wrong? Where am I?"
(Mother? Why did I call this woman "Mother"?)
"Ah..."
Suddenly, a terrible headache and a lot of information flooded my head.
I hold my head with my hands and roll around on the bed.
"Cain, Cain, be strong!!!"
As my consciousness fades, I realize that I am Cain Sanroze, the 4th son of Viscount Sanroze, 5 years old.
My father is Luke Sanroze, 42 years old, and my mother is the second wife, Linore Sanroze, 28 years old.
This woman is the first wife, Lydia Sanroze, 44 years old.
I lost consciousness again while remembering these things.
Then, 2 weeks passed without my health improving.
It seems I fell down the stairs that day and almost died.
When I woke up, I remembered my memories as Cain up to the age of 5.
In the process, I realized that my mother, Linore Sanroze, had passed away from illness a year ago, and I cried in sadness.
And, I remembered that I received something from my mother, Linore, just before she passed away.
But what was it?
I still don't know.
By the way, the first wife, Lydia, has been raising me like her own child after my mother Linore passed away.
From what I heard later, she breastfed me and raised me in place of my mother Linore, who did not recover her health after childbirth.
I was too small to remember.
Cain loves her like his real mother.
"Mother Lydia, I can eat by myself now."
"You haven't fully recovered yet, so it's no good. Behave yourself."
With a smile that doesn't allow any argument, she feeds me porridge with a spoon.
As Cain, it was quite embarrassing, but I ate it obediently.
"But, Cain has become a bit more gentle since he woke up. He used to be more clingy, didn't he?"
"R-Really?"
Oh no, is he acting distant because of Michio's memories?
"Mother~"
I quickly hugged Lydia to cover it up.
Phew!
There was more of a chest than I expected.
It's a perk, but it's embarrassing (sweat)
"Oh dear, what a clingy one you are~"
Mother Lydia hugged me gently.
While doing that, the room door opened, and a blonde girl around 8 years old peeked in.
"Mother Lydia, can I come in now?"
"Alice, you must knock and wait for an answer before opening the door. I always tell you this. Well, today it's fine. Come in."
The girl then walked closer to the bed.
"Cain, are you okay? Do you want me to check if you have a fever?"
Alice climbed onto the bed, trying to feel for heat with her hand.
Alice's body temperature is warmer than Cain's, making her look puzzled.
Cain has 3 brothers and one sister.
His brothers are Lydia's kids, and Alice, who is 3 years older than Cain, is from Linore.
After Linore's passing, Lydia raised all the children equally.
"Elder Sister Alice's hands are cold and nice~"
When I said something childlike, Alice smiled happily.
"You two, if you keep doing that, Cain won't be able to rest."
Saying this, a man opened the door and entered the room.
