"Greetings to you My Lord, the du-"
"No need to be so formal little miss, just make yourself feel at home in this castle, you'll be staying here for a long time, let's treat each other as family, okay?"
The duke smile kindly at you
You knew he was kind, even that genuine smile on his face felt real with no feeling of malice.
Makes you wonder why such person could get kicked out of the palace and be sent to the north where it was so cold, at the same time you are thankful because you could see that he really was a capable Lord.
Maybe the rumor of him getting kicked out of the capital because he was a threat to the throne was true.
Suddenly you felt a light tap on your back making you look up to your teacher by your side as you saw him gave you a bright smile also a reminder for you to reply to the duke.
"As you wish My Lord, thank you very much."
You smile sheepishly at him
Soon enough you were toured around the castle, you need to be familiar with it after all, for starting today you'll be in the care of the Dukedom head mage.
One thing for sure is that mages are badly needed around the territory, although people could grew accustomed to its cold weather, it was the demons lurking around its territory has been a problem ever since.
"I will train you for a month on how to properly use your power, after that you will join me in an expedition to eliminate the demons- why are you grinning like that?"
Your mentor sweat drop at the look on your face
"Well I've been dreaming on going on a demon hunt, I can't wait for that to happen."
You said with a grin not fitted for a child, causing a shiver down your mentors spine
Truthfully, you were just excited ever since your parents have discovered you possessed an abnormal amount of mana, they have been very extremely cautious and protective of you.
It was probably because you were their only child and the heir of the household and upon you having to posses a lot of mana naturally means having to protect the boarders of the Dukedom.
"Hmmm."
You could not help but to frown naturally upon meeting with a unfamiliar yet annoying face.
"Greetings Young Master Abel."
You were on your way into your room when you happened to meet the young master of the duchy.
"Lady (First name), you have to greet the young master too."
Your mentor urge you and yet you just stare at the boy across you in the eyes
"I was prohibited from leaving my room for days because of you, young master."
You spoke, looking at him dead in the eyes
"So?"
The young Abel raise his eyebrows, obviously unconcerned
You could only roll your eyes with that.
Eventually, you get a hold of the side of your dress, this was the last time you'll be wearing that anyways. Bending your knees with the perfect angle as you lower your upper body.
"I greet the young master, Abel Heilon. I'll be in your care starting from now on."
The young (hair color) haired female greeted with a smirk upon looking up into those gray iris
And to you and your mentor surprise, Abel did the unexpected as he took a hold on one of your hand and bringing it close to his lips for a peck.
Something he would only to do with you, and only you his whole lifetime.
"Thus likewise Young Lady (First name)(Lastname). I'll be in your care starting from now on."
He spoke, returning your smirk with his own smirk
Everyone could tell just by looking at them that something interesting was bound to blossom between the two of them.
Even with Fiona who was just witnessing the scene could tell there was already something going on in between these two kids that was bound to thrive even more in the future.
She could tell upon the way they look at each other, that even as a kid with full of competency feeling upon each other, there was something about how they look at each other that makes you wonder how they will end up years later.
And Fiona who already knew what would happened suddenly felt an ache upon her chest.
