"But why do you have to go brother?" a voice belonging to a seemingly little girl asked. "Because this brother of yours has some work to do",came a man's voice. "But you leave me everytime!" the girl whined as she stomped her feet while folding her hands with puffy cheeks. The man chuckled a deep and harmonious sound "come here"he said as he sqated with open arms.
She walked into his embrace and he patted had head. "I'll be back as soon as I can and I'll bring you back lots of sweets and toys ok?" he said and the little girl's face lit up almost immediately.
She kissed his cheek and hugged him as a goodbye. "Have a safe journey sir " came the voice from a woman standing not too far from where the two stood. "Thank you Maridel, and make sure to take extra good care of my Princess."
he said and she nodded her head.
"Oh, and Evie, I love you". "I love you too brother Demitri" she replied with a wide and cute smile and with that said, he got out of the house closing the door behind him.
He boarded a carriage that was waiting outside and the left without delay. Evie watched the carriage move until it faded into the far distance from the house. "Come on Evie, dinner time " she heard Maridel say and she held her hand and let Maridel lead the way.
"Keep warm by the fire, I don't want you catching a cold because of the coldness" Maridel said and the both of them had their meals.
