Chapter 26 We're getting out of here

I held back the sadness in my heart and laughed and applauded with the others.
Mireya smiled back at me, and her smile pierced my heart deeply.
And what she said to me this morning.
I am Klopp's human pet, and have never been to school, and all the knowledge I have learned, I learned from my parents.
They taught me even less about violin or piano, and those who could learn these were the upper echelons of the human world.
After being without my parents, I was just a pet in captivity.
The low self-esteem and sadness at the bottom of my heart were eating me up, trying to pull me into the dark abyss.
"Klopp, can I have the first dance with you? As your birthday wish."
Mireya reached out to Klopp with an invitation.
"Sure."
Klopp smiles and walks with Mireya to the middle of the hall.
Others have retreated to the side to admire.
I was blocked by the crowd and couldn't see them, but the pain coming from my heart made it impossible for me to stay here any longer.
I turned and left through the side door of the hall, running all the way forward.
The moment I returned to my room and closed the door, tears rolled down my cheeks.
I sat behind the door, wrapped my arms around myself and buried my head in the crook of my arm and cried.
Here, I'm not even qualified to cry out, I can only hide and wipe my tears.
"Jenny?"
It was Klopp's voice. I looked up and around and didn't see him.
Am I hallucinating?
Is it because it's too sad?
"Hey, Jenny!"
On the windowsill, a figure suddenly appeared and was greeting me with a smile.
I took two steps back in shock, and it was Klopp?
In a panic, I hurriedly turned my back and wiped the tears off my face.
Turning around again, Klopp was already standing in the room.
"Mr...."
I didn't know how I was going to explain all this to him, and as a pet that fell in love with its owner, Klopp was sure to evict me.
"Can you tell me why you're hiding and crying?"
Klopp came over to me.
I don't know if I was scared or nervous, but I instinctively stepped back, like a frightened deer.
"I... I just miss my family...."
My body was shaking, making it impossible for me to look Klopp in the eye.
"Jenny, you're afraid of me?"
Klopp stopped after two steps and asked with some sadness.
"No, I didn't, I..."
I'm always guilty of the same thing, whenever I get too nervous, I can't speak.
"Jenny, calm down, okay? Are you acting like this because of the ensemble and shared dance that Mireya and I just did?"
Klopp tried to get me to relax.
I didn't answer, just silently bowed my head, it was like he could see through all my thoughts and make it impossible for me to hide.
"I... I did not..."
I wanted to deny it, but knew in my heart that he was right on all counts.
"Jenyy, I can sense all your emotions, you forgot the bracelet I once gave you, it was originally my homologation item, so it will communicate all your emotions to me."
Klopp said.
I froze, so he would also know what I had in mind for him?
"Sir, I'm sorry... I know I shouldn't have thought that way, but I promise, I won't let anyone know!"
All I can do now is probably beg for his forgiveness. I don't want to be banished and be a wanderer, chased by people like Wills with no place to hide.
Caught by them, I had to face endless abuse.
"A... idea like that? What's that?"
Klopp didn't look like he understood what I was talking about.
I'm about to freak out. Do I have to say it to admit my mistake?
"Sir, I..."
I was about to explain when there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Monsieur le Comte, are you in there?"
It's Anna's voice, and she's asking outside.
"Yes, I'm in my room, my clothes are a little dirty and I need to change them, can I help you?"
Klopp did not open the door, but stood in the doorway and asked.
"Duke Taz has something very important to discuss with you and would like you to talk to him."
Anna answered from the door.
"Okay, I got it, put him on hold."
Klopp said.
I heard a distant footstep outside.
Anna left.
"So, now you can tell me?"
Klopp came up to me and I had no way back, with the cold wall behind me.
And he stretched out a hand on the wall, close to me, and his eyes were fixed on me, like a hawk on its prey.
"I... should not like my own master, but, please do not expel me, I..."
"Jenny, what did you say?" The confession paragraph is well written.
Klopp stared at me in surprise and shock.
The look in his eyes made me tremble uncontrollably, and fear had taken over my heart.
"I know I'm just a pet you bought back and shouldn't feel that way about my owner, but I..."
Once again my tears fell, I didn't want to leave him any more than if he had married Mireya.
"Wait, did you just say that was true?"
Klopp's face broke into a smile as he looked at me and asked.
I looked up at him and nodded my head.
"I always thought it was my selfish desire to have you without asking if you would, but your answer came as a surprise to me."
Klopp reached out and hugged me.
His arms took my breath away a bit, but his answer, again, took me by surprise.
"Well, it's time for me to get changed and go see Duke Taz, I'll be back soon."
Klopp looked unusually happy, and after releasing me, he went back to his room and changed his coat and went out.
As I closed the door to the room, I thought I heard him humming a song.
I was still a little curious as to what Duke Taz would say to him, so I chose to follow him quietly.
Klopp and Duke Taz were talking in the study. I pressed myself against the wall to try to hear their conversation, but I couldn't hear them at all.
Until they get louder and louder.
"Klopp! You've gone too far! Are you trying to challenge my patience by repeatedly rejecting me?"
Duke Taz questioned with a growl.
"And for the last time, Duke, I will not marry Mireya, even if you are in a higher position than I am."
Klopp is also fuming.
I hurried to the corner of the corridor and hid, if Duke Tazfound me eavesdropping, it would completely anger him.
The study was filled with the sound of their arguing.
It wasn't long before I heard the sound of the door opening, followed by the sound of footsteps hurrying away.
But Klopp didn't come out, and I didn't hear what they said afterwards.
I headed in the direction of the study.
The study is somewhat dimly lit, and Klopp sits in a chair, head bowed in silence.
"Mr...."
I called out to him softly.
"Jenny, maybe we... have to get out of here."
