√ Your Warmth

(1) Chapter 3

I've promised to give you warmth,
I won't leave you,
Nor abandon you.
"I'm your knight, use me until
I'm useless."
"You will live here now!"
You were happy, not knowing
The consequences of you actions.
"Who is this Jennette?"
"Brother, it's no one.
It's your imagination!"
"Surely, you aren't trying to me?"
"I will never, brother!"
Somehow things were okay,
But meeting your Uncle.
It will be a whole different story.
You were young,
Not knowing how things run
Around you.
But, I will teach you;
Depend on me until I'm useless to you.
"Jennette, why hide your eyes?"
"Uncle told me to hide them,
I have a sister and a father."

If only you knew they were only your relatives, not family...

She coughed out water from her mouth, she didn't let go of Nox. The line maid, was trying to pry Jennette off of him.

"Lady, Jennette please you have to bathe... It's important right now, you're soaking wet.."

The maid tried to reason her way out to Jennette but, it wasn't reasonable enough to make her stop and look over.

"...I don't want to..."

Jennette says as she buried her head into Nox's chest. Breathing in his scent, she shook her head three times.

"Lady Jennette, you're going to become sick, you don't want to see your Uncle angry because you got sick..."

The maid gave up trying to pry Jennette off of Nox. Instead she huffed, out the air she breathed in.

"Jennette, do you trust me or your Uncle more?"

Nox asked as he pat her back softly.

She looked up to Nox, staring at him. No words were exchanged, it was silent between them.

'I see, she has this much trust in me that she just want to be carried by me.'

He thought as, he saw the maid just stood there feeling heartbroken. Though she had a nosebleed, when looking at him.

He remembered that he was also, soaking wet. The water dripped off of Nox and onto the carpet.

He turned his head to look at the maid, and asked

"Is it okay to use magic?"

His question caused a big commotions, the maid's never knew he could use magic.

They thought only nobles and trained Knight's were able to use magic.

Though they were interested about his magic, was it similar to Sir Felix's. Or maybe similar to some mages around the world.

Having no word to say, they quickly nodded there heads.

"Yes, you can you your magic. Anything to help Lady Jennette!"

The maid on his right said, as she nodded her head.

She was panicking, because Jennette could get down with a cold later.

He turned his head back to Jennette, and lowered his head.

Lifting Jennette slightly higher he placed her chin in his shoulder.

Activating his gifted powers from the rulers. The soft golden light took over both his and Jennette's figure.

His golden wings sprouted from his back, he looked like a god. His wings were closed, yet it looked like it was still forming.
