Chapter 12 - The Capital of the Asten Empire - Part. II

And with 'his true nature' I mean... how idiot and childish he really is.

"Of course, your majesty. I won't let you down."

She truly respects him.

"I know you won't, McRae. That's why I chose you. You're like a mother to me, and you are neither influenced by the Empress nor by the Queens."

That's really a good thing.

If there's something I remember very well from my book of destiny, is that the Empress started abusing Davey when he was four, because she didn't have Eirwen's attention as she wanted.

But I'm not gonna let that happen, even if I have to take his place and became her target.

She's just an arrogant human, after all.

"As I will have to spend a few months with them and my children, you must go to the Ice Castle in Schneeflocke, it is empty, so they won't suspect anything since they don't pay much attention to it either. Take good care of her. When the time comes to introduce her to them, I will call you back here."

"As you wish. I'll take care of her as if she was my own daughter. Just like I took care of you."

I really like this grannie.

At least, I will be safe for a while with her.

"Thank you very much, McRae. I must go now, or they will suspect that something's wrong. You must go right away."

["Already?"]

["Didn't you said that you weren't going to miss me?"]

["Idiot."]

He petted my head.

"Don't worry, Evie, everything will be okay. We'll see each other again soon. I'll miss you too."

Why am I feeling like I'm gonna cry?

["Be careful. And take good care of your children."]

["I'll be. And I'll take good care of them. See you soon."]

["See you soon, Eirwen boy. You must go now."]

He smiled and pet my head once more, then he turned back and left.

"Hey, little girl, you're really beautiful, aren't you? Don't you worry, because your papa will be with you again soon! I'll take good care of you."

'Papa'... why I feel so warm after hearing her saying that?

It's not like I consider him my father, but still...

She held me higher and carefully kissed my forehead, then brought me closer to her chest.

"We must go now, the evil Empress and those Queens cannot know about you yet, little princess, so we must be very careful."

'Evil Empress' it's something that really suits her.

I already know that Empress Lena is someone who will give me a lot of headaches in the future.

And I'm not anxious at all to meet her or the other four snakes... I mean, queens.

What in the world Eirwen had in mind when he picked those five snakes as his women?

I can't understand it at all.

When I saw McRae's pitty face, I couldn't help but hear her thoughts.

[This poor kid, she deserves more than be around all those bitches in this damn palace. I wish she wouldn't have to come back here ever.]

Hey, you don't need to pity me.

I'm well aware that my situation isn't good at all.

[Empress Lena will make this child's life a living hell. What does that idiot had in mind to bring her here? Does he wants her to become the living target of his harem and his children?]

Oh, McRae, at least he didn't make me his illegitimate daughter like he wanted to do first.

It would be way worst than this.
