"I cannot guarantee that I can always appear whenever you are in danger, like what happened today, so Ten will stay by your side in exchange for me," Caius said.
"I see," Venera said, nodding her little head in understanding. "I understand, brother."
"Hmm." Caius let out a hum. "There are many dangerous things in the castle that may or may not endanger your life, so Ten will act as your sword and shield from now on."
The little girl was still too small and frail, so he had to protect her well.
Sword and shield, Venera repeated Caius' words in her head.
"Okay," the little girl agreed easily. "Then Ten is just like my personal knight!"
