Chapter 11 - Explaining

" Kelly you may leave now"

I was going to have a one on one conversion with my Father.

" Ahhhh..." I haven't thought of what I was going to be saying to my father. " Well....."

Seeing Zeus struggle to express in words what she wanted to say the Duke sighed.

" Zeus no matter what Papa will always love you...you don't have to tell me, Papa won't ask anymore I just want to see your smile."

I trembled and with my trembling hand I reached out to touch my Father, " Thank you "

We sat there in warming silence as my Father continued to pat my head.

" Now since you wanted Wolf I will give him to you...after I sealed his most of his power."

"Ok!" I already got what I wanted and I wasn't going to push my Father anymore.

My father went out and came back a few hours later, " I've sealed most of his power and forbid him from using his voice...unless told too."

" Father, can I give him a different name?"

" Yes, Wolf is just his code name."

" Oh great! Papa, you are busy, aren't you? I won't bother you now you can go back to work."

"Oh what a sensible child I have, I'll be seeing you later ok?"

"Bye-bye Papa!"

My father left and I was all alone again, "Wolf" I called out. Then I heard the silent tump of foot landing on the ground.

"From now on you are mine and mine alone got it?" I could not see or hear his reply, " Here! Hold my hand and tap twice for yes and one for no."

I felt his big rough hands tap twice with a soothing gentleness I've never felt from another person before. Being around him cleared my headaches and made me feel better.

" I will name you Shin Badar Elmendorf, do you like it?" I felt two taps on my hand. I felt a smile on my face since he was here I was not going to ever feel lonely again. I grasp his hand and led him to sit right next to my bed I was going to use this time to get to know him more.

" Are you over 30?" One tap

"Over 20?" One tap

Oh my, this child might be too young for me. I forgot I was still a child myself now.

" 19?" One tap

"18?" One tap

"17...16?" One tap

"17!" Let it be 17, two tap.

Seventeen is still a teenager, this is an age where he should be experiencing many things. I guess my previous life is affecting my judgment, my brother, for example, is only four years older but he was mature. I've been homeschooled for all my life here and will continue to be homeschooled for the king's training, it wasn't like I wanted to attend the academy or anything but I do need to go out into the world more.

Constantly after drinking the Potion I've been going to sleep a lot, " Shin just continue to hold my hand please..."

I felt my consciousness fade in and out, it was dark and then I heard a scream and cry.

"Madame Kane was pregnant! Who gave her the medicine!? Ahh! Madame! Curse you Astral!"

Madame Kane? Isn't that my aunt? My mother, Racheal, is the youngest sibling in the family and Madame Kane is my mother's older sister. For years Madame Kane Margarette, the other Duke family of this Nation has had difficulty conceiving an heir for the family. I must not let anything happen to my aunt's family even though our family is currently at odds...I must... I must...

I felt a refreshing warmth throughout my whole body and my tensed body finally relaxed and fell into a deep slumber.
