                     GRANEVERE

"MOM don't you think, Guinea becomes suspicious lately?" a cold voice behind her.

Guinevere flinched in surprise, she reminded her self that her son got the cold voice of Granger, while she's making a food, her son were watching her movements.

She then turned around to answer her son, "oh what makes you think of that to your little sister, Phoenix?"

"hmn... It was all started when Gossen gave her a flower and a letter." he said in lower tone.

Guinevere drop the ladle upon what she just heard from her son.

"What!?"

Her mind thinking, Lesley and Gusion's son were after her precious daughter.

Phoenix look unbothered though for a kid like him, he doesn't care about those stuffs.

"B-brother!"

a little girl runs towards Phoenix and covered his mouth with a hand.

"i-its nothing m-mother." the girl stuttered in nervous.

Guinevere looks serious, she then bend to level her daughter.

"Guinea tell me, does this Gossen boy court yo--"

the little girl was about to open her mouth to tell the truth when Granger spoke behind them.

"who dare to court my princess?"

Guinevere never thought her husband heard the conversation, she already figured out his reaction being a protective father to their kids.

"it's Gossen." Phoenix said in lower tone.

His little sister tried to stop him, "brother!"

"that Gusion's son, wife where's my gun?"

Guinevere can tell, how Granger's face darken.

"Dad, are you going to Monastery Light?" Phoenix asked out of the blue, Granger sometimes bring his son along with him to the Monastery Light.

"No. that Gusion I'm going to shoot some--"

Guinevere suddenly exclaimed, "No Cussing!"

that made the three froze in their spot the last thing they want to see is when Guinevere mad.

Granger calm his wife, his facial expression softened before he face his daughter.

"Listen Guin, you're still 7. you can't allowed to have a boyfriend."

"but he's not my boyfriend though, I'm just his.... c-crush." the little girl was embarrassed.

"that was i expected. everyone admire you, you're as beautiful as your mother but you can't have a boyfriend not until you're in right age." Granger stroke Guinea's hair.

"don't worry Guinea, i stay behind you Gossen will never bother you again." Phoenix reassured his little sister.

Guinevere watch them with eyes sparkle in merriment, Granger never failed being a good father and husband, he always find a time to be with them, having son that resembles her husband and a daughter who just like her when she's still a kid, she considered her self lucky.
