Someone knocks at the door
"I'm coming!" Calli, rush to the door and open it.
"Mom!"
After two months away, Another person was added to their family.
"Ah... My name is... Annabelle"
"Woah! Are you a demi-human!?"
"Ye-yes, I have a different ears than you"
"It looks so weird! but cool in the same time"
"Th-thanks"
"Calli, don't pressure, your new sister"
"Sister!?"
"Yeah, Since She's was homeless, I decided to adopt her"
"... Does Uncle knew about this?"
"Don't worry, I already take care of it"
Calli, walks toward Annabelle.
"What's this staff?"
Annabelle, raise it trying not to touch it from her.
"I..."
"It's fine"
Calli Griped her hand.
"I can show you around the house, Mom I can handle this"
Poka was surprised what Calli said, but she agreed.
Annabelle was following Calli, then stops in the last room of the Building.
"Ah... where are we?"
"I just don't get it..."
Annabelle heard what she said but didn't reacted.
"To be honest, I didn't expect something like this happening. I felt confused right now or should I be happy that I have another sister or... be jealous that there's another person, than uncle in our life"
"..."
"I get it, you where save by my mother, just like what, she did to me. I already knew this before, this ring. I have. I knew I was a fallen aristocrat. I already finished, trying with my uncle how to fight. Ms. Annabelle, are you also Aristocrat?"
"N-no... but my father is... I was a bastard."
"Bastard... I guess we're not so similar"
In Annabelle's mind "I didn't expect to such overwhelming force coming from a 11 year old..." I never have any experience to fighting but... if push come to shove...
Annabelle grip her staff.
"Calli, Annabelle comes downstairs"
"Coming mom!"
The next day, Annabelle noticed a note left in the door and head outside the walls.
"Didn't expect for you to actually come. But here we all now"
"Shouldn't we stop?"
"... sadly that's not something I can agreed with"
"But aren't we now family, I lose mine... recently"
"That's different! Mama Polka is mine alone, I don't want any others taking her!"
"C-calli!?" Let's calm down... she's still young.
Calli, rushed towards Annabelle.
"Calli let's stop!" The scythe slices Annabelle's clothes
"Didn't expect for you to dodge that"
"Let's stop this I don't want to hurt you" something is not right, it feels like she got possessed? Perhaps... that ring.
"Calli, that Ring! It's possessing you"
"It's not! I'm doing this in my own valuation"
Rushing again, Calli attack Annabelle. Annabelle blocking the attack using the staff. Again and Again
"Can you just die!?"
"That won't do!" Annabelle cast something and hit Calli in the stomach.
*Cough*
I'm losing consciousness...
Mom...
Back then, I was naive when I was 9, I heard about a rumor about a fallen nobility that used to live near the city. It's said it has ties to the Royal family and the rebellion group name Aska. Due to my curiosity, I started joining on group hunts with other people, disguising my self when Mother Polka isn't at home. When I was 10 There where I found out what's my ring is.
It came from the fallen Aristocrat name. Dolion Family. The group we fought by accident was one of the ex members of the Dolion Family Servant when I found the book with tons of record of other members. I found out my own identity. After that, I knew something I need to do. I started asking Uncle to train me harder, when I turn 11. It did.
I was able to hunt on the move, moving in trees, etc.
I was proud yet. Felt like it's not enough, and more frequently mother is becoming less and less to appear becoming more busy.
Then when I saw Annabelle, I felt conflicted for some reason. This girl suddenly appear and took interested by my mother. Even if it took out with pity...
"Ugh... where am I?"
"Thank god your okay"
"Annabelle?"
"My stomach..."
"I heal it my self"
"..." why did I do that...
"If you really hate me that, much I can tell Ms. Polka to drop me at my old home..."
As Annabelle walks away.
"W-wait"
"What is it?"
"I... sorry what I did..."
As the two of them leave together.
Poka watches both of them above the walls.
"Didn't expect for two of them to end up like this"
"At least it ended in a positive light"
"But you didn't intervene of the two of them?"
"I felt like it's better for them to resolve them self. Emotion is quite a irrational thing"
"Well at least no bloodshed was spill"
"Hm, Where are you going?"
"Back to the Capital"
