"I don't think our meeting was a coincidence rather a link between us, I mean your name being the same as my brothers can't be a coincidence it only further proves we have a link or rope that is pulling us together."

Soon after this answer the carriage began again with Wukong sitting next to Lucia while she had her eyes closed the Carriage went on towards the nearby city.
After half an hour of this Wukong had fallen asleep laying peacefully beside Lucia, with this action the white haired woman gained a smile. And started to stroke his hair softly while parting it in two.
While looking at the boy she thought of her younger brother, Wukong Frost, 'it couldn't be a coincidence right, could it I mean he looks just like my brother other than different hair colour, just truly who are you I feel as if he's my younger brother incarnated once again'
While stroking Wukong' head she began to think about her fallen family her mother always said to her not to play out too much or else she would hurt herself and no one would marry her, her father however always agreed with her every demand he doted on her truly, and her silent and quiet brother who in secret cared about their little family and wished to help their parents in efforts to pay for the house and pay taxes.
The boy always acted mature and older than he was, always surprising his parents and sister, just thinking about her fallen family she gained a smile but soon dropped the smile as she remembered she had lost them.
The girl soon gained crystal clear drops of tears in her eyes but then looked toward her newfound light the boy beside her bosom, she saw that the boy had gradually woken up due to her tears falling onto his face.
Soon Wukong woke up and opened up his eyes wearily and then remembered that he was now in a family, no he had gained a family with his new big sister, but he saw that she was crying and it made him wonder.
So the young boy asked his newfound sister of the reason she was crying, "... Umm sis why are you crying is it because my head is hurting your leg don't worry I'll move If that's what you want..."
Just when Wukong was about to raise his head the woman chuckled before patting his head and putting his head back on her leg and said, "No it's not that it's just I was thinking about my family and you remind me so much of my younger brother, you know I was just thinking about them and the realisation of their loss had just made me cry"
When Wukong heard this he cocked his head towards her eyes and said in his most serious voice as to remove her sorrow, "Sis, you can't cry anymore, because of your family now that I'm here I won't allow it, and don't think that just because I'm younger than you that I don't understand the pain of loved ones falling"
" I think about my mother all the time and remember all the things she did for me, she risked her life on many occasions to save me to cloth me, to feed me, to educate me she went through so much hardship to raise me and then suddenly my mother just fell one day"
"Even now thinking about it I feel so angry with myself I could of helped her if I got a job, if I never made her do overtime for my school funds, but I know my mother wouldn't want me to forsake my life, my entire life slaving around in a dead end job with no opportunities because of her loss, that is why I want to do what she would have wanted of me to work hard and gain more power."
"Sis now think about it, what would your family think if they saw you cry for them, they wouldn't be happy they would want you to do what you want and not waste time thinking of what-ifs, rather make the What-if become past tense"
"And finally Sis even though I haven't known you for long I know you are someone who is truly kind and a good person, even though I've only known you for a little interval of time I believe that you are a good person and I wouldn't want anyone else to be my Sister, other than you Sis, It has to be you"
"Also Sis regardless of your problems you have to tell me them, and don't think just because I'm young I won't understand it, Sis remember through thick and thin I shall stay by your side because of you making me your family we are now family and remember family always helps each other, so regardless of your problems you can tell me I will help you through them regardless if it's the last thing I do!"
"Through Thick and Thin I will always be by your side, and if you feel you can't cope with something my shoulders are always free for you to rest your head on if you feel like it, remember due to the kindness you showed me, an orphan you took me in regardless of my background due to this I will always be by your side"

When she heard the boys words she was shocked and happy, she never expected the boy in such a short frame of time to seemingly understand her and gain such strong feelings of protection for her, as this was the first time she heard a boy saying all this to her she began blushing.
And started to fiddle and fidget with her fingers while her legs started to sway slightly as if in embarrassment. To her what Wukong said sounded more like them love confessions she had heard of from her classmates and this caused her face to turn red like a tomato.
She couldn't reply to Wukong and just nodded her head cutely to the younger boy who said all these words without breaking his serious face.
But then he grabbed her arms and held them in place before giving her a toothy smile filled with a bit more sunshine and said, "I'll always be with you" this caused her to just blank out immediately and all she thought was, 'I'm definitely not already in love with a ten year old kid, I'm definitely not a predator, yes it's because he's so cute that's it!'
"Wukong no this is nothing of the sort, rather this carriage that we were in just now was a Phantom Device, they are items and objects created using the Soul Core Of Phantom Beasts."
....
Soon they had reached their destination, he found himself facing an enormous mansion like castle, with gates and fences, then he took a closer look and saw that the Mansions gate had a symbol on it, a ❄️ Snowflake, symbolising Frost it seemed.
"Well Wukong, What do you think of my humble abode!"
When he heard her voice he seemed to have been snapped out of his thoughts and all he though was, 'Amazing', "... Um Sis this is huge, and it's the most beautiful thing I've seen ever!"
Wukong didn't know how to express his joy in such a house, and the fact that a stranger had done this all for him. When Lucia heard him she started to giggle, "Hah hah, Wukong this is now yours as well no need to feel overwhelmed and remember whatever's mine is yours little bro, I'll always be here for you!"
Wukong' answer in return to his newfound sister was a simple but insanely thoughtful action, a hug a great big bear hug. Wukong grabbed her waist and held her tight to his face as tears came out of his eyes.
The boy truly was overwhelmed, he lost his mother his town his friends, he had to leave and escape enduring the harsh forests and fighting Beasts, but then this unknown woman who he did not know at all helped him.
For no reason at all. A hug was the only thing he could give her at this time, but he made it an internal promise to protect and help her at all times. And like that for ten minutes the young boy hugged the teenage looking girl with a simple hug, as if he was her significant other, it was truly a abnormal sight, but here this is commonplace.
