The Queen's Angel

chapter 16:secrets being revealed

Athena's pov:

In our peaceful garden adventure, I took the opportunity to teach Liliane the names of various flowers. With each new blossom we encountered, I would gently point it out, naming it and describing its unique features. Liliane, perched on my hip, listened intently to each word, her wide-eyed gaze fixed on the flowers.

"This one is a rose, Liliane," I said, showing her a vibrant red bloom. "Roses come in many colors, but this one is as red as a juicy apple."

Liliane's face lit up with curiosity as she extended a tiny finger to touch the velvety petals. "Wose," she repeated, her pronunciation a bit different but just as endearing.

We continued our botanical exploration, and I introduced her to tulips, daisies, and sunflowers. Liliane repeated each name with enthusiasm, her young mind eager to absorb new knowledge.

"Tuwip," she said, her voice filled with wonder as she touched a tulip's silky petals. "Daysee," she chirped when we came across a cluster of daisies, her chubby fingers reaching out to caress the delicate white flowers.

The moment we encountered a sunflower, her eyes widened in awe. "Sunfwow, Tina! Big sunfwow!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with pure delight.

I couldn't help but smile at her reactions. Her innocence and enthusiasm were a reminder of the simple joys that life had to offer. As we continued our journey through the garden, I marveled at the way Liliane's presence had brought a renewed sense of wonder into my world.

I gently set Liliane down on the ground sitting in one of the swings , and she immediately took off, her tiny steps carrying her to the vibrant garden. She began to explore with unbridled enthusiasm, stopping to inspect various types of flowers, giggling as she took in their colors and scents.

As I watched her curiously exploring her surroundings, she started to babble to herself, her sweet, innocent voice filling the air with wonder. "Fwowers... pwetty fwowers," she mumbled in delight ;

, her little voice a constant companion in the garden. "Yewwow fwower, wike da sun," she observed as she crouched down to inspect a bright yellow bloom. Her tiny fingers gently stroked the petals, as if trying to feel the warmth of the sun they resembled.

With each new discovery, her excitement grew. "Wook, Tine!" she called out, holding up a deep red rosebud. "Dis one weminds me of stwawbewwies!"

I couldn't help but smile as I watched her interact with the natural world around her. It was as if the garden had become her own enchanted playground, filled with endless wonders waiting to be explored.

Liliane's fascination extended to the fragrances of the flowers. "Dis one smells wike candy," she exclaimed, burying her nose in a cluster of lavender blossoms. "Mmm, Tine, smell!"

I leaned closer, taking in the sweet scent she offered. "You're right, sweetie," I agreed. "It does smell like candy. Lavender is a very special flower."

My heart swelled with affection as Liliane's eyes lit up with sheer delight upon spotting a butterfly fluttering gracefully through the garden. With an excited yell, she took off running after it, her tiny feet carrying her across the grass as she followed the whimsical insect's erratic flight.

"Bubbly, bubbly!" she chanted, her voice filled with infectious enthusiasm. She darted and weaved, her little arms outstretched as if trying to catch the elusive creature.

I couldn't help but join in her excitement, my laughter echoing her joy. "Go get it, my little angel!" I encouraged her, reveling in the pure, unbridled happiness radiating from her.

My heart skipped a beat when Liliane suddenly stopped in her tracks and called out my name with urgency. Without a moment's hesitation, I activated my  speed, appearing before her in the blink of an eye. My eyes scanned her tiny form, searching for any signs of distress.

"Are you hurt, sweetie?" I asked, concern lacing my voice as I checked her over for any bumps or bruises. But to my relief, she erupted into a fit of giggles, her laughter filling the garden.

Gently, I lifted her into my arms, my own laughter joining hers. "You gave me quite a scare there, little one," I admitted, my worry fading into amusement.

Liliane, still in my arms, rested her head on my shoulder and began to chatter excitedly. "Wow, Tina, you have loooong teeth and wed eyes! Wed eyes awe pwetyyy."

Liliane's fascination with the simplest things in our world was endearing. I continued to hold her, savoring this precious moment together.

"You're absolutely right, little angel," I responded with a gentle smile. "red eyes can be very pretty. And these long teeth," I said, tapping one of my canines, "help me with some special things. But they can be a bit scary sometimes too, don't you think?"

Liliane giggled and nodded. "A wittle bit scawy, Tina."

 she  then looked up at me and asked, "Tina, why chu has  long teeth? Me and you got wings." Her eyes got all wide and sparkly as she spread her little wings, showing off their pretty patterns.

I couldn't help but giggle at her question, admiring her adorable wings. "Well, sweetie," I started, "just like you gots your wings because you are a pretty angel, I gots my fangs because i'm a vampire "

I couldn't resist having a bit of fun with Liliane's innocent curiosity, so I playfully made a "grrr" sound while scrunching up my cheeks. Liliane burst into giggles, her tiny fingers reaching out to poke my cheeks saying" chu no scawy now tina"

With a playful glance to the left and right to make sure no one was eavesdropping  even though everyone know what i'm about to tell her but i wanted Liliane to more curious , I leaned in closer to Liliane and whispered, "Do you wanna know a secret, bebe?" Her eyes widened with excitement as she whispered back, "Yewwwsss..."

I couldn't help but chuckle softly before revealing, "I'm the Vampire Queen, and I have a vampire inside me called Luciana." Liliane gasped, her innocent expression a mixture of awe and wonder. and  i know that her pretty little head is now full of questions.

i love you guys!enjoy
