Mafia Don Reincarnated As A Connon Fodder

Chapter 3- Meeting The Villian

I'm currently 5 years old, I can walk properly now and communicate with others.I grew up like any other noble child, maybe I was called a prodigy but I am so what? I also learned to defend myself with daggers and learned swordsmanship. I carried a lot of my techniques from my past life. I am also quite cute if I do not say so myself. I want to help the villain, I really do. Dylan, now that I think about it...he is probably at the meadows. He is around 7 right now.

My father, being the daughter slave he is, happily allowed me to take a walk around the land but not without at least 15 knights. I got dressed in a pale pink dress that complimented my hair.

I made my way to the meadow, I told the knights to stay behind me, they know I can defend myself. I only brought them with me to please father and mother. I was walking and I heard a child weeping, soft cries. I walked over and HOLY shit it was Dylan. On the outside I was calm and stoic but seriously I was having a fangirl moment. I walked over to him, he looked up at me with teary eyes, I saw all the pain and sorrows he was feeling, something I also felt as a child in my past life. I walked over and sat down beside him.

I started drawing circles on his back with my hand trying to calm him down. I did not want to ask him because sometimes it's better to sit in silence and help the person to calm down,rather than to pressure them to talk about their problems. Around 10 minutes later he fell asleep, he really is a cute kid even with puffy eyes. I let him lay down on my lap. One of the knights came over and asked if everything was okay, I told him I was fine and told him to get mothers shortbread cookies from the manor. Around 15 minutes later Dylan woke up, quite startled I might say.

"I am extremely sorry about my behavior", he said. I smiled at him and held out my hand "Athena" he smiled and shook my hand. "Dylan" He gave a small smile and sat down. We talked, I asked if he was okay, he did not answer, I told him that he can tell me if he is ready. We became friends really quick, he was still so innocent. We talked and ate cookies. We are going to meet up again on Monday, it was nice, he was a friend...
