Continuous Box Rotate - CSS animation-CodePudding

So am fairly new in CSS animation and I wanted to ask a question I created this box and it as a small box inside that rotates from top to bottom, right to left and alternate but am wondering how can I make that it rotates fully around continuously, from the point of origin. I tried setting the transform translateX to -232% once it reach back at the point of origin but end up not going back to its origin as intent.

<div >
    <div ></div>
</div>

<style>
*,
*::before,
*::after {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
html {
    font-size: 62.5%;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
body {
    font-size: 1.22rem;
    line-height: 1.2;
}
.parent {
    background: #aed4ff;
    height: 300px;
    width: 300px;
}
.child {
    background-color: rgb(143, 36, 36);
    width: 90px;
    height: 90px;
    display: block;
}
.parent:hover .child {
    animation: left-to-right 2s ease-in-out forwards;
    animation-play-state: paused;
    cursor: pointer;
}
@keyframes left-to-right {
    0% {
        transform: translateX(0);
        color: red;
    }
    33% {
        transform: translateY(232%);
    }
    50% {
        background-color: blue;
    }
    66% {
        transform: translateX(232%) translateY(232%);
    }
    100% {
        transform: translateX(232%);
        background-color: black;
    }
}
</style>

You need to add another keyframe with translateX(0) at 100% to move the element back to the original position, and for the other "transform-keyframes" use 25%, 50% and 75% instead of 33%, 67% and 100%.

And of course animation-iteration-count: infinite; to keep it going round.

So that would be

*,
*::before,
*::after {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

html {
  font-size: 62.5%;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

body {
  font-size: 1.22rem;
  line-height: 1.2;
}

.parent {
  background: #aed4ff;
  height: 300px;
  width: 300px;
}

.child {
  background-color: rgb(143, 36, 36);
  width: 90px;
  height: 90px;
  display: block;
}

.parent:hover .child {
  animation: left-to-right 3s ease-in-out forwards;
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  cursor: pointer;
}

@keyframes left-to-right {
  0% {
    transform: translateX(0);
    color: red;
  }
  25% {
    transform: translateY(232%);
  }
  50% {
    transform: translateX(232%) translateY(232%);
    background-color: blue;
  }
  75% {
    transform: translateX(232%);
  }
  100% {
    transform: translateX(0);
    background-color: black;
  }
}

<div >
  <div ></div>
</div>

You can set your animation to run continuously by adding this to your css

animation-iteration-count: infinite;
