Vincent was confused because Aria was very different from the rumors.

‘That indifferent look on her face, it’s similar to brother’s…’

He heard that children similar to Aria’s age should typically have a cute and lovely personality. However, she was certainly not an ordinary child.

‘Why does she act like that?’

Aria treated him differently from the others, and it definitely wasn’t an illusion.

“Then, what is your purpose?”

[To protect someone.]

She answered without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Vincent was speechless.

Aria’s words were like a knight’s oath.

Then, she threw her cards into the fireplace, leaving no traces of their conversation.

When the time came, she vowed to use her abilities to protect that person at all costs.

Aria recently developed a small hobby.

She would tend to stroll around the garden while waiting for a letter from Sabina.

‘How long has it been?’

A few moments later, she saw a pigeon flying to her from a distance.

‘Finally, a letter!’ Aria enthusiastically thought as her expression brightened.

However, when the pigeon landed on her shoulder, the momentary happiness she felt suddenly disappeared.

‘It’s… not a letter?’

Unfortunately, the letter didn’t come.

There were days when Sabina would not send her letters but would instead send flowers to her and made the pigeon carry it on its mouth sometimes.

‘Could it be…? Does she not have the energy to write letters anymore?’

Aria was worried because her health might be deteriorating.

She took the flowers from the pigeon’s mouth.

‘I think the massacre is going to happen soon.’

Sabina hadn’t been able to send as many flowers as she used to. Furthermore, the flower she sent this time was almost… withered.

Then, as she was petting the pigeon’s head, it suddenly flew away.

‘What the? That surprised me.’

Aria turned around with a puzzled gaze, wondering as to why the pigeon ran away from her.

Consequently, she could see Lloyd and his jaguars walking around in the distance.

And as Aria found herself staring at them, so did the boy.

He soon frowned when she came to his line of sight, and as Aria noticed his look of irritation towards her, she thought to herself, ‘Will he try to get rid of me again?’

Aria waited for Lloyd to approach her first as she stayed on high alert.

Unlike the owner, the two energetic jaguars immediately ran to her side without the slightest bit of hesitation.

‘Hello, my feline friends.’

The black jaguars, or more commonly known as ‘black panthers.’

The jaguars had black satin-like furs and eyes that seemed to be glowing like topaz.
