As we were walking towards the dinning room, I couldnt help but notice how big this house is, I could see where we started but I couldnt see the end. Every where I look there's gold and red stones in every corner but not too excessive. Its the perfect balance of being rich and elegant.
Everything looks expensive, from the paintings on the wall all the way to the floor.
I couldnt help but feel insecure, Do I really belong here?
"Old man, you have a big house." I said in amazement.
"Its your house too, what belongs to me belongs to you."
I just smiled but didnt say anything. 'Can I really believe you old man?'
Thats what fat Felix said to me aswell....
He told me that the orphanage is my home too. Little did I know that he was planning on selling me as a slave.
"Leonna?"
"Huh?"
"Are you ok?" I looked at Leon.
"Y-yeah." I said uneasy.
It took us a couple of more minutes to reach the dinning room, 'yes the house is that big.'
Good thing old man was carrying me, or my feet would have hurt from walking.
When we arrived at the dinning room, Winston opened the two large door for us. He bowed when we passed him.
'why do he have to bow all the time?'
"Woooah!!" I said in amazement, my mouth hung opened as I saw the hundreds of delicious foods sitting on the long table patiently waiting for me to devour them!
"If there's something else you want to eat just tell me." Old man said, I nodded excessively as my mouth watered.

SEEING LEONNA'S eyes sparkle in excitement at the sight of the feast prepared for her made Leon happy and satisfied.
"You have to eat them all." Leon said jokingly, "I'll try my best!" Leonna with hands held high on a fist answered with so much enthusiasm.
Leon chuckled at his daughter's high spirit, [Is this how it feels like to be a parent? if so.....its not that bad.]
Leon gently putted Leonna down and without a minute to waste she went straight to the table.
She sat on the large chair at end of the table where Leon usually sit.
"Look at her already starting her reign." Leon proudly said to Winston.
Winston just cough "I think its a little early for that your grace."
Winston looked at Leonna, he couldnt deny that Leonna looked like the perfect copy of Leon now that she's cleaned up minus the bruises and scars.
The Viosta blood is truly blessed in everything. Although Leon was feared by many, many people also admire him solely for his looks, many noble ladies would risk everything just to be wed to him.
Rumors even has it that some even lost their minds and became obssessed by the duke.
"Old man! can I eat now?" Leonna asked excitedly.
Leon sat at the chair next to Leonna, "Yes. You may eat to your hearts content."
Leonna then grabbed with her bare hands the first thing she saw on the table which is chocolate cake and stuffed it on her mouth.
"Ah! my lad-" Winston was about to tell Leonna to use spoon and fork but Leon stopped him.
"Let it go for now Winston." Leon said as he wiped Leonna's face with his handkerchief.
"Yes your grace." Winston said in defeat. Leonna tilted her head in confusion.
[Did I did something wrong?] Leonna thought.
"Dont mind him, little cub. Continue eating." Leon said to Leonna, she nodded in response and continued on eating.
She ate everything and anything she laid her eyes on. Winston was still looking at her worridly.
[Looks like she has a lot to learn] Winston thought.
Leonna then saw Leon eating something jiggly, its golden in color and it looks soft and delicious.
She scanned the table looking for the same food Leon has.
"Old man....."
Leon looked at Leonna and he saw that she was looking at the pudding he was eating.
He knew Leonna wants a taste of the pudding. He was about to give Leonna his pudding when a thought came to his mind.
He smiled mischivously at her "Yes my little cub?" he said sweetly.
"Can I have a taste of what your eating old man?" Leonna said with her puppy eyes and pouted lips.
Leon almost cave in but he held his ground firmly.
"hnmm. Oh you mean this pudding??" Leon took a small scoop of pudding on his spoon and teasingly ate it.
[What is the duke's doing?] Winston who was watching them thought.
"Y-yes." Leonna said almost mouth watering. Leon took another scoop of pudding.
He looked at Leonna and smiled an evil smile "Then call me Dad."
Yes that was his plan....
Winston was dumfounded. [What an evil person.] he thought.
Leonna Flinch at Leon's request. She kept looking back at the pudding and the duke.
"D-ad." Leonna whispered in embarrassment. Her face was red as her hair and eyes.
Leon on the other hand felt his heart skipped a beat. But he was not satisfied.
"I cant hear you. Little cub." Leon said. Teasing Leonna even more.
"I want to taste that pudding.....D-ad."
Leon's smile reached from ear to ear, he then put the spoon full of pudding on her mouth. Leonna immediately opened her mouth to welcome the unknown food.
"Waaah its sooooo goood!!!" Leonna said with a satisfied look holding both of her cheeks.
"So Cute." Leon said.
Leon gave Leonna the whole plate of pudding and Leonna was ecstatic about it.
After finishing the pudding she then moved to the different kinds of meat around her.
"Little Cub, may I ask you some questions." Leon said as Leonna took a bite of the chicken leg in her hands.
Leonna nodded in response since she couldnt talk with all thay food in her mouth. "How old are you?" Leon asked.
"Seven" Leonna responded.
Leon's eyes widen [She's seven?!] Leon was shock to say the least, if you judge her from appearance alone Leonna looked no more than five years old.
She was so small and thin that no one would think that she's seven years old.
Leon looked at Winston who was listening, Winston nodded in response.
"Is it true that you lived in the forest before going to the orphanage?"
Leonna nodded once again.
"Do you have anyone with you while you were living in the forest?"
Leonna stopped eating for a second before thinking "No. I only remember a guy dropping me off on the forest when I was three years old. Since then I lived in the forest, then two years later an elderly woman found me and brought me to the orphanage."
"Do you know the name of this elderly woman?" Leonna shook her head indicating 'no'.
[Well, now I know why she growl at people, she must have seen animals in the forest doing it. Animals usually growl at people when they feel threaten, she must have learned it there.]
"How were you able to survive in the forest my lady?"
Both Leon and Leonna's attention went to Winston.
"A pack of Golden Wolves took care of me."
