Aiden was feeling sleepy after talking with blake so he went to sleep and also force faes to do the same even when she protested.
"I am not sleepy!" she said as Aiden tucked her in bed forcefully.
"yes you are! now asleep" Aiden replied yawning.
"but I really am not feeling sleepy" faes wanted to get up but Aiden pushed her back down shaking his head
"do you want me to sing a lullaby? or recite a story?" Aiden asked when faes pouted
faes who was not sure why Aiden was forcing her to sleep but she was shocked when Aiden proposed to sing a lullaby and recite a story out of nowhere! she was not ready for that at all!
"I think I will just sleep," faes said with a red face. she was 20 years old mentally for god's sake!
"oh," Aiden said seemingly disappointed making faes feel guilty. maybe he was feeling sentimental and wanted some kind of distraction and she denied it. it won't hurt to listen to a lullaby right?
"But I can listen to a lullaby" faes added making Aiden's face lit up.
"really you know blake always told me I sing really well" he told her proudly, and then sat beside her small body and began to stroke her hair slowly.
faes was not sure if he could sing but when he began she found herself drowning in his beautiful voice. 'Pheonix really has a nice voice that can hypnotize anyone' faes thought as she began to feel sleepy and soon went to the dream world.
Aiden who was happily singing a lullaby for faes saw her sleeping soundly and smiled with misty eyes. meeting blake reminded him of few memories in which he and his love always sang lullaby's and other songs for blake and his older brother. he always wanted to sing together with his love for their own child but she died giving birth and he was going to die soon. he can feel himself dying every day. he at least wanted faes to learn his and his wife's special song so that she can sing it to his child after it is born.
he decided that he would sing a lullaby for her every day until she memorise it. he turned the lights off and went to his egg singing for it too and soon fell asleep near it.
faes slept soundly until she was woken up by a notification sound
'ding! ding!' she groaned turning and going back to sleep. faes again woke up in the morning by the alarm.
[good morning host] the system greeted
'yeah,' faes replied rubbing her eyes. Aiden really sang really well and the song was good too. maybe she can learn it.
when faes opened her eyes she saw few notifications. 'so this is what disturbed her sleep' faes sighed and began to read the notification

faes was not sure she read correctly so she took her time and read it again. pill recipes, potion recipes, forging skill and even recipes for food items not to mention books and movies! this had to be one of the best gifts!
faes inspected the daily report and found it useful too. she does not need to check her whole space daily, she will get reports on even her daily activities making her check if she is making any progress and what needs to be done.
faes went to her space now excited to see what the place looked like. when she arrived faes rubbed her eyes. her small home was gone and now in its place was a huge castle! a beautiful off-white-colored castle decorated with gold silver grey. the glass windows were fitted nicely in sky blue colored frame and the roof was covered in red roof tiles. there was a big fountain in front of it in the shape of a demonic angel whose white and black wings were widespread and her silver gold and black dress seem to flow freely but were stationary. her hands extended in front of her water flowing out of it and she seems to be standing on a cloud.
faes noticed that the remaining area surrounding the castle was still covered by a dense fog. faes ignored it and turned to the porch, which had enough space to occupy two rooms on either side of the main door! faes thought that a swing would look great there along with a rocking chair or just simple tea table and chairs? after looking at the porch and the steps she had to climb to get till it faes went inside. she found herself in a small room probably a sitting area with only one big gate to go further. after entering it she found that it was the living area the furniture was not present but it was quite obvious. there was a fireplace on one side of the huge gate faes entered from and it was also decorated with gold and silver. the whole place seemed to scream expensive but not too showy.
on the left wall, there was a gate that led to the ballroom which was also empty except for the curtains and some paintings. on the right side was another door that led to the dining area. the place was also empty and smaller than the ballroom. there was another door in the dining area opening into the kitchen. the kitchen was big and had a stand-in middle on which a gas stove was present. the shelves and other places seem empty except a few glasses and plates.
faes knew that she has to buy the furniture and other supplies to make this place livable and this made her tired. 'i hate shopping!' she thought as she left the dining area. in front of the entry door was a grand staircase on right side leading to the first floor while there was another door opening outside. near the stairs on first floor was another sitting area with two hallways. one on the left led to the only door there was. opening the door faes stared with her mouth hanging open. the library was huge would be an understatement. there were all kind of books both from this world and earth. there was also a big table in the middle. faes took a tour around and found that library was two floor high. one floor was filled while other was empty.
reluctantly leaving the place faes went to see what was on the right hallway. there were two doors. one seem to be a meeting room with a glass wall till celling to floor on the other side. faes went to the window and stared outside. she haven't checked what was behind the castle before but now that she was seeing it seemed to be a big garden. she was on right side of the castle so she saw the garden, faes left and went to the last room in this floor. when she entered she found herself in a movie theatre! there was a big screen and many seats. a projector and another door. opening it faes found tapes and cd's for many movies and tv series.
'papa is going to love this place' faes thought leaving to go to the second floor. the stairs were near the stairs to ground floor and when faes went to second floor she found herself in a long hallway leading to various rooms along with another stairs which led to the third floor. each room was similar with a big bed, a study area, a sitting area, a bathroom, a wardrobe and a balcony. faes was not sure but there were about fifteen to twenty rooms. leaving the second floor faes went to the third floor and saw only one thing a big door. there was nothing else other than the door. entering it faes gasped. the place was huge! there was another fireplace on right side of the big hall faes was standing in, while the whole place was empty again. there was just two rooms on left side of the living area and a balcony door made of glass in front of the door faes came in from.
both the rooms were bigger than the one on the floor below. they were identical with a king sized bed, a study table with book shelves near them. there were also bathroom and wardrobe which were bigger and better than the one in rooms below. there were also glass doors leading to balcony. faes found that the balcony was covering the whole floor, she can see the front, back, left side and the right side of the place clearly. faes saw that there seemed to be a training area on left side while there was garden on right side of the backyard.
[host please choose your room from the two on the third floor] the system asked as faes was in the balcony.
faes thought which one to choose. both the rooms were similar just one was colored and other was black, white and grey. 'the black white and grey one' faes decided that she would give the colored one to aiden's child. children love colors!
[ding! your room is ready for use all your things are transferred in it] the system said again while faes nodded
'is the dungeon still locked?' faes asked the system who was floating near her
[yes host it is still locked but you can still use it like inventory] the system replied
faes checked the time and found that it was almost lunch time and aiden would be looking for her!
