"W-Waet!" I shouted in a hoarse voice, Daddy looked at me with his blank expression again, "Da..eee!" I said words barely making their way out of my dry throat, I shook my head and made a begging expression [Please don't kill him!] I tried to express. Daddy removed his unsheathed sword from his throat and walked over to me caressing my cheek with an icy stare, I gulped, [DOES HE WANT TO KILL ME???] A sweet yet scary smile adorned his face, it pricked my entire body and sent shivers down my spine. I almost wanted to cry. ALMOST.
"I'll tell adelaide to bring you some water," He said in a serious voice, "You better keep that guardian under control, Louise." He glared, I nodded rapidly as he walked away. I slumped on the floor trying to catch my breath, [He's the scariest after the Emperor. They both emit such a dangerous aura.]
"M..ung! Ah...U...Ah-k?" I tried to say, [DAMMIT! UGH STUPID THROAT!!!] I screamed internally, I turned to Myung who seemed to be sobbing desperately in place, [...]
[ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I'M THE CHILD HERE NOT HIM!!! WHY IS HE CRYING???] I panted I clenched my fists and got up punching Myung in the face. "M-Master?"
[YOU IDIOT!! STOP CRYING HE DIDN'T KILL YOU!!] I tried to communicate with hand signs, "M-Master, Why did you hit me? Have I made a mistake?" I smacked my forehead, thinking that it was finally time that I leave this world, even if not happily. I'd rather die now, than to go through THIS and get wrinkles at such a young age. [IMAGINE WHAT THE ELDERLY WILL SAY!!!]
"Tsk tsk tsk...Such a young girl with so many wrinkles..."
"To think she was the daughter of the Country's Genius."
[I'D Be DOOMED!!!]
Then there was a soft and gentle knock at the door, "Lady Louise? I've brought you some water." I heard a familiar voice say, [it's Adelaide!] I scurried to the door and opened it only to see a familiar face, "You...re no Ade...laith..e." I stared, It was a boy with black obsidian hair and red blood eyes, I sighed and slammed the door in his face.
"I heard stories about the Petite lady of Baudelaire, I didn't expect for her to be so rude to her brother." He claimed with a sneaky smile, He opened the door himself as Myung went back to being a bunny. "Oppa, I heard you cannot enter a ladies' room without permission." I beamed a smile, He simply smiled back like it was second nature. "Louise, you sure have become more stuck-up than you used to be." He smiled brightly, I sighed, "Is it because you got the Emperor's Favor?" He queried, I froze.
[He thinks that I'm like this because of the Emperor? Idiot. I don't need the Emperor's Backing to be confident. I just need to BELIEVE in myself.] A small smile adorned her pale and fair skin, "You're right, oppa. It must be because I gained his favor. Does Daddy know you're here?" I asked, the word 'daddy' was so slippery I thought I'd mess it up. I've never said the word, 'daddy' maybe I did when I was Kim Soon-Bok, and when I was around 6, but now it seems weird coming out of the mouth of a 30 year-old woman. [It's almost embarassing.]
"Did you just say, 'Daddy' "? He asked in a cold glare, [Really, You both seem to be identical. Like- father-like-son as they say. But this is way too much. REALLY.] I shivered as I smiled a bit, "Oppa, You shouldn't smile and glare at people at the same time. it'll give them the wrong idea." I said, I swear I heard this line before. Somewhere but I can't remember where. [Has he said this line before? Or is just my imagination? But I can't seem to remember where I've heard it.] An image popped up in my mind, A book, A fairytale, A fable.
[What could it mean? I can't even see the title properly, but I know it's in korean because of the various circles in the letters, English words have multiple lines unlike other languages, korean is the only language that uses that many lines and circles combined. So then what could it be?] I sighed and opened my eyes only to see Oppa's face way too close to mine, [Is this Idiot really that dumb?] I thought, his eyes widened in shock [What? Did he read my mind or something?] I pondered, [But I don't recall him ever having that ability..?] He narrowed his eyes at me and just up and left.
"Uh..." I groaned, and headed towards the water he left for me, it was in a curvy bottle with a small hole at the very top, [This isn't chemistry class though?] I just shrugged my shoulders and called for Myung, [I need you to verify what's in this bottle.] I communicated with him, 'Alrighty Master! Anything for you!'
[is it just me or does his will to serve me seem to be rising? I must be hallucinating.] I thought as I made a smug expression, hehehe~ I can't wait to head to Ferissia! I want to see what elves look like too! From what I've seen in shows and books they have pointy ears and dark skin, although rare times they have fair skin in Ferissia. Realistically speaking, Elves don't really travel to other countries or kingdoms they're normally secluded from the outside world except for trading.
"Hmmm...." Myung noticed a strange gold scent coming from the bottle, "It seems to be Holy Water Master." I flinched, "W..a..? Ho..ee Wa..er?" [Why would he give me Holy Water though?] I queried, What is he up to? Is he trying to kill me peacefully or something by saying: Hey I helped you now die quietly?
but then why go the lengths of giving me such an expensive thing? "Master, Are you going to drink it?"
"Hm? Ah! Y..ah!" I groaned desperately, He handed me the bottle as I just gulped it all down to the last drop, "Hm? Wow! I feel all better! Welp, I gotta thank that kid later, For now I have to try to use 'Mana Extension' or my Powers won't work when I head to Ferissia." I sat down in a meditating position breathing in and out, letting my mana spread throughout my tiny body. "M-Master?" A bright blue light was emitting from her chest as she clenched her teeth trying to bare with the blinding light and pain. [Master is going to..!]
