(Who knew sculpted abs...
I wandered aimlessly around the Manor, my mind a complete blank as I absentmindedly strolled through the hallways.
Alissa sat perched on my shoulders, her hands gripping my hair as she giggled and squealed in delight.
Her laughter was light, almost musical, and I couldn't help but smile a little at how utterly oblivious she was to my distracted state.
Her excitement was contagious, and despite feeling lost and out of it, I found myself bouncing her up and down, earning more peals of laughter from her.
It was a small comfort, hearing her so happy, even if I wasn't entirely present.
"Dad, go faster! Run!" She chirped, her voice filled with joy.
I quickened my pace, still feeling somewhat detached, but at least she was enjoying herself.
As we turned a corner, Sandra appeared, her expression warm as she watched us.
"Your Grace," She greeted me with a gentle smile and a slight bow. "Would it be alright if I took Alissa for a while? It's time for our usual sewing class, and she seems quite excited."
At the mention of sewing, Alissa's eyes lit up, and she eagerly leaned forward, almost toppling off my shoulders. "Can I, Dad? Please?"
I lowered her down and set her on the floor, nodding. "Of course, sweetheart, go ahead. Have fun, alright?"
She grinned up at me before darting over to Sandra, who took her hand with a fond look. "Thank you, Your Grace," Sandra said with a nod, before leading Alissa away.
With them gone, the silence of the Manor seemed to press in on me, and I decided to head to my study.
Maybe some work would help clear my mind, or at the very least, distract me from the strange unease that had settled in my chest.
As I approached the study, I could hear something odd—soft, muffled sounds that seemed almost like... sobbing?
I furrowed my brow, pushing the door open, and what I saw inside made me pause.
Hans was on the floor, practically groveling before Bun-Bun, who was now wearing a tiny red cape and a small golden crown perched on his head.
