The Demon King's Paladin Part 1 Vol 2.

Chapter 305. Cindra's Request 2

" Oh, she's not holding up too well. Byron has his responsibilities to keep him grounded along with the views of being a Noble, but Cin... Oh, what can I even say?"

As we walked towards Lady Cindy and Count Fracks, Lady Cindra began to worry in my ear. The sight of her daughter still bawling as her father dies next to her... I can't imagine the pain she must be feeling, but she still marches forward with me.

" How do we even begin?"

I asked her that, Lady Cindy didn't seem to hear what I had said earlier, I guess I should repeat myself, I sat down on the other side of Count Fracks. They both had surprise in their eyes from my presence. Or at least, Lady Cindy did? What is Fracks looking at?

" Cin..dra?"

" What?"

" Oh, Franz..."

" Y-You can see her?"

Count Fracks weakly nodded his head. I nodded my own head. I guess this speeds things up. I look to Lady Cindy and explain it as briefly as I can.

" Your father isn't hallucinating, Paladins can see ghosts, your mother, Lady Cindra is here, she's been stuck in this world since her death. She's asked me to interpret for her. If you don't believe me... Lady Cindra? Anything I can use?"

" Her first doll was called, Mr. Rabby! It was a stuffed animal based on a B-class monster called Rabid Rabbit. It had big floppy pink and white ears! She never went anywhere without it!"

Lady Cindra placed her hand on her cheek as memories of her daughter began to flood in. I turned to Lady Cindy and repeated everything to her.

" She says you used to have a stuffed animal called Mr. Rabby, you never went anywhere without it? And that it had big floppy pink and white ears?"

Lady Cindy's eyes began to shine as tears that had just stopped due to the confusion of me being here began to fall down like a dam bursting.

" Mom? You've been here the whole time?"

Lady Cindra began to try and speak, but I stopped her for a moment. I raised my hand to her and began to speak to Lady Cindy.

" From now on, I'm going to be reiterating everything your mother says to you, okay?"

Lady Cindy nodded to me as she snorted a booger back into her nose. I couldn't let her keep doing that, so before moving on, I called for Sarah and asked her to take out some tissues for Lady Cindy.

" Thank you, Princess Sarah."

" You're welcome, but I'm just Sarah Drake now, Lady Cindy."

With their brief interaction over, I looked at Lady Cindra so she could begin what she had to say. She started to speak and so did I.

" Yes, I've been here the whole time, but I could only observe, S-..."

" Come on, say it. It's what I always call her when we're alone."

She's smiling at me with a teasing look in her eyes, I looked back at her and all she did was smile. Lady Cindy looked at me confused. I looked away from Lady Cindy and I just got it over with.

" But I could only observe, Sweetie."

" Haaaa!"

Lady Cindy has a wave of embarrassment wash over her; her pale cheeks had become a deep vermillion. The only bright side of it was that she was broken out of her crying fit.

" Mom! Stop trying to tease us!"

" Ufufufufu..."

Lady Cindra was having a good laugh now. I guess she likes teasing Cindy? I can understand why, she does have pretty cute reactions.
