√ Your Warmth

(1) Chapter 4

"Your father is still alive..."
You said that you were naive,
But why are you getting angry?
"I don't want father, I only want you."
I said that I will give you warmth
But, someone had to get in the way.
Your father must be-
"Sir Nox, did you introduce yourself to father?"
I haven't even introduced myself
But, I know he would hate me.

"Uncle Roger is scaring me."
I said nothing but,
Give her comfort.
"What happens if Uncle Roger discovers you?"
I don't know,
I can't predict the future.

All I know is that, he would try to use me for his own good.

Nothing else would matter until, you are all grown up.

Years, has passed since that incident.
Jennette is now seven years old, she is able to finally cut her steak properly.

But, she is still being carried by Nox.
Even though she could walk on her own two legs. She is still being spoiled by him, he always give her the sweets she wants.

He never disobeyed her orders, he wanted her to have the fullest in her childhood.

Jennette was always happy around him, she laughed.

Though when she was receiving education, she was sad. Not because Nox wasn't there to watch her.

She was sad that she wasn't able to show him, what she has learned.

All in all it was great.

Nothing seemed to bother the both of them.

Not until, Nox sent his shadows to get information. Information about the others in this novel.

After so, long he was getting bored of not learning about new things.

'So Athanasia had fell out of a boat trying to reach for a flower?'

He thought as he slightly laughed but, only to find it way more complicated.

'Her father, didn't save her. He watched her drown in despair.'

He watched the scene, leaning back he signed.

'Meanwhile Jennette's father is still alive being well and being a little shit.'

Nox thought holding his chin as he tapped his cheek.

'This is problematic, I don't know how she will respond to the sudden news.'

Nox tilted his head, folding both his arms together.

Walking down the halls, he almost bumped into a maid.

"Sorry."

Nox said, slightly bowing he continued his stroll down the hall.

Right now, he was near the big tree. Near the lake where Jennette almost drowned.

Doing his daily task so, he wouldn't fall back and get a rebound.

Jennette started watching him train, ever since she saw him wearing a different type of outfit.

She was quite curious, when she saw him walk by.

Her way of asking him, was grabbing onto his pants. Tugging it slightly, she looked up.

"Where are you going?"

Jennette asked him, as she looked at him. She happily asked after, the maid placed her down onto the ground.

The maid, smiled when seeing there interactions. It was almost like a big brother and sister relationship.
