Chapter 13 - Chapter IV-2 (Antonia)

As I looked out the window I remembered what Daddy said about being nice to our classmates.

The teacher taught us to divide, I raised my hand and answered the exercises, she congratulated me.

Then I got back to my thoughts.

I was thinking of mommy.

I'm like her, sometimes serious and sometimes funny.

Then I think of Daddy and what he said about her "The most beautiful woman I have ever known" that's how Daddy described her.

I wonder what he saw in me? He wondered that time, I accompanied him in the kitchen (his favorite place), he was washing the dishes, while I passed them to him.

Daddy why do you say it? I ask a little confused. (He has looked at himself in the mirror) Miss Bast almost lost her heart when she was talking to him.

Why does daddy have such low self-esteem? What happened to him?

There are so many things I would like to ask you. But it would be rare for a girl of almost 9 years to do such a thing.

The school where my little sister Anna and I attended was close to the town, it was small since only the boys and girls who lived in the countryside attended, a part of the forest surrounded us and nearby a ravine passed, where we could go with the teacher, in At school we did not learn magic or anything like that since many of my classmates were without magic (some humans and other demihumans) in fact our teacher was a reptilian demihuman.

I was restless for a few minutes, I felt as if someone was watching me, when I look out the window I see a silhouette.

It was a person? Who knows, I continued with my things, painting my drawing for daddy.

After a while someone called our teacher, 10 minutes passed and the teacher kept talking to the unknown person, then the teacher called me.

"Antonia, the officer is coming to pick you up and your sister, she's coming with your father" exclaims the teacher.

The officer introduces herself "Imperial officer Victoria" the imperial officer was an elf, very pretty and serious, she had her hair tied up, next to her was Anna who was excited.

Then my little sister pulls me up and whispers something in my ear.

She is a friend of Mr. Enrs, look how cute she is! She exclaims happily, she looks like a doll!

I look back at the elf officer.

He has a serious look, a proud bearing and too dry for my taste. Not like Mr. Enrs who has a cheerful face and cares little about being seen as an Imperial officer.

"I do not like it"

Dad was apologizing to the teacher for the interruption.

"How beautiful your daughters are, Mr. Householder," the officer says to Daddy.

Mr. Householder? Why do you call it that?

Daddy smiles "they look like their mother"

Ñooo I have eyes like Daddy's! Anna says as her cheeks puff out.

The officer almost melts when she sees the gestures she makes, she places her hands on her cheeks and her pupils almost take the shape of hearts.

Her facade of a serious woman disappears WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL! Then he asks daddy can I carry it? PLEASE MR HOUSEKEEPER!

"It all depends on Anna" Daddy bends down and asks her, do you want Officer Victoria to carry you?

"On one condition" Anna crosses her arms and raises her chin "Only if the officer kisses Daddy on the cheek"

"Wait love, don't you think you shouldn't ask that of the-"

"Done deal"

Daddy went white and then he turned red, it all happened so fast.

I think the officer had gotten carried away with the emotion to carry my little sister who gave Daddy a kiss in front of all the students and teachers, Anna excitedly jumped directly into the arms of the officer, who hugged her warmly. They looked like two girls receiving a gift.

"Yy-yo-yo" was the first time I saw daddy like that, he couldn't speak well, it seemed that his tongue had betrayed him. (When Maki finds out he won't like it) (I don't like it either)

What would my little sister Makin say in these circumstances? Maybe something like why a stranger gives Dad a kiss! Who is she to do that!

Well, sir, are we going to leave? She asks as if nothing had happened.

"Y-si-sii" replied the "go-vam-come on Heart"

Daddy takes my hand and we go out.

Because of what Officer Victoria did, some teachers are green with envy, it was the first time that Daddy went to school for us and they immediately thought that the one who was accompanying him was his girlfriend and when they saw that she kissed him on the cheek…

Daddy tells us that something had happened at home and Mr. Enrs took care of the problem, he did not want to tell us that it had really happened.

Then the officer says something that I did not like "her older sister is now with one of General Velvet's maids"

After listening to it I felt chills through my little body.
