time seems to stop at the words he casually dropped. Maybe it is because it is hard to believe her fathers word or maybe she was so shocked, she couldn't believe what she heard. She just silently stared at the king.
"silvia?", he called her when she didn't respond."did you hear what I said just now?"
"w-what...what ..?" she couldn't form a word.
"I said I will let tou go to the human world." ,he repeated but still, it was unbelievable.
with a 'screeching' sound made by the chair, silvia stood up, wide eyed. he told her the best news in the world."really father? can I really go there?!!" all those years..... she have been cooped up in here yet.....now.....she can finally be free.
"Yes and also I was thinking of enrolling you in school."
"school?...like learning with other students?"
"obviously."
she couldn't be happier...
but something seems a bit off. why was he suddenly being kind and giving? 'that doesn't seem like him.' she thought as she slowly sat down to sort out her emotions. after deep contemplation she looked up at the so-called father of hers. she has known him as long as she lived yet not even a grain of kindness is left in him to offer her such wonderful things. what does he want? her clever eyes bored into his cunning ones.
"father. if I may ask, what exactly do you want from me." if he doesn't want anything in return the I don't know this man...she thought.
"Hehe...my daughter is really not dumb after all, I must say." he chuckled in amusement. she never disappoint him. "you have to leave for the human world but....you will 'never' come back here.again. got it?"
well....that was another great news to her. it could not get any better than this!!! she was happy to the point where even happy tears started to flow down her chick, which by the way her father thought that she couldn't bear to part with her home town. But suddenly a thought struck her mind. 'what about my mother's belongings? they will surely burn it all saying it was just an accident,right? so then....'. she stared at her father with a determined gaze.
"father," she started,taking a deep breath,"father,I have on more favor to ask."
"oh?and what is that?" he replied with an uninterested gaze.
" I... I would like to take my mother's belonging s with me." and that was when his eyes narrowed at the word she spilled. clearly he was displeased at the mention of her mother. but he swallowed it back.obviously, this time she won't live with out it.her gaze says it all. and he was right. after a moment she added," If you can't do that, then you can forget about the deal." it irked him, that he had no choice but it is for the best. As long as she leave this place there is nothing he won't do now. after a moment of silence he sighed.
"*sigh*, fine. you can take that trash away. I don't care.any way, you will be leaving early by tomorrow morning. understood?" for the first time in her life, silvia felt glad that her father hated her. she was glad he hated her enough to tactically throw her out of her childhood home.
