4th Card: His Daughter's Aesthetics

4th Card: His Daughter's Aesthetics

Reborn POV

Akura. She may be just an adopted child of mine, but there's something that made me not regret and be incredibly grateful in taking her in.

A child so peculiar in both mind and actions.

At first, I sought to nurture her in an environment that will let her grow into a smart individual, along with training her in order for her unusual power that I saw that fateful day, to be in her full control.

Simply killing with just a spec of the bloody aura is already considered very deadly

But every time I observed her, I know that she ain't a normal kid. She even knew an ancient language used by demons, which I can piece the info together that she has somewhat connections. With them. But did not question further, since I know she will tell me in the future when she's ready.

Well, there are some instances that could consider otherwise. (*cough* *cough* the cute library scene)

She is very adult like.

Silently fierce.

Knows her way with words.

Know how to do things

A fast learner.

A goddamn manipulator....

Even if its like forcing myself with taking care of an independent adult, I still retain my role as her father.

I fed her.

I bought her clothes.

I gave her books to read.

I teach her.

And I gave my love as a father in my own way.

And gladly, she understood it.

There was one day that I told everything about her to Kyuudaime along with his entourage. As what Akura called them. And ever since, he'd been wanting to meet her.

And I guess right now was his perfect chance.

Tonight is Kyuudaime's birthday and I plan on taking Akura with me. Bianchi heard about her coming to the party she immediately gave me a box which a dress was inside it.

Shell surely be irritated with this... I chuckled at the thought

Bianchi is one of my co workers.... And one of my lovers..... And since she heard about my daughter, she always wanted to have the role of a mother to her. Which I really didn't give any thought about it.

As I saw her dressed up, one thing for sure that she definitely look so much like a porcelain doll.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We already arrived at the venue and everyone was buzzing in entertainment. I saw my daughter look so conflicted despite her deadpan stare.

"Get used to it from now on"

Then she look at me with a slightly uncomfortable look which made me smirk a little before continuing

"Because there are a bunch of parties that we are to attend. In other words....

It's mandatory."

I expect a small complain from her, but I did not expect her to smile while giving me her consent. Her expression is too vague for me to read what is on her mind

~~~~~~~~~

As we go through the crowd I felt a chilling sensation in my side. It was Akura wearing a cold and dominant aura as if she'd been embraced by the icy snow...

I smirked in pride.

"You are truly my daughter"

She closed her eyes and smiled a little and said something that made a father's heart warm

"Although foster, but I thank you for everything, My Papa"

I must've done something to deserve this.....

With no other words to say, I pat her head and said "I know"

I know that she deserve this.

I know that I did this for her.

I know that she knows that I love her, my precious daughter...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So that's your daughter? I got to say, she's quite the charmer... Cold and beautiful."

Akura asked me to let her explore around and I let her. Then I got my way to Kyuudaime. As he mentioned Akura, I felt even more proud of her.

"Indeed she is."

"Say, if its alright, I want her to be a part of the next generation of the Vongola family." Kyuudaime said

I already expected this. As long if its about Akura, I know what others would think.

"As what? If you don't mind me asking. And its going to be her decision as well." I stopped and look to where Akura is. She was with Bianchi's little brother and I sighed.

"I don't want to force her with things she doesn't like.."

"I understand, Reborn. As for the position, its either be the next boss's right hand woman or secretary. But seeing this girl and hearing your praises with her many talents, I think its selfish of me to want her as my granddaughter in law...."

My eyes widened in his words

"You mean...."

"Yes Reborn. My grandson in Japan is at the same age as her, he is one of my descendants. Now that the rest of my blood sons are gone, I could only rely on him....."

I look away for a bit. My thoughts were hanging on one thing that I never thought of hearing

Marrying my daughter with someone....

Akura......

"Papa"

I snapped back to reality and saw my daughter with an emotionless face.

How? I didn't even notice her presence! I look towards Kyuudaime and saw him with a surprised expression.

Not even Kyuudaime knew....

She look to the man beside me and bowed her head.

"Nono sama."

Kyuudaime look at her before smiling softly.

"You're Akura Keroshima, right? I've heard great things about you from your father. And with your entrance earlier, I say, you took many breaths away"

Akura chuckled lightly with a hint of maturity then spoke "Nono sama, surely you jest. I've done nothing to make people look at me. I was once a child of the streets before entering this.... Ex....pensive.....place......" She said while sweatdropping in the end.

I laughed with her comment. She's really not used to this, huh?

Kyuudaime laughed as well, "Well you'll need to get used to this then"

Akura sweatdropped even more. "Yeah... So I've heard...."

For some reason, Kyuudaime took a glance at me then focused his gaze on Akura.

"Dear, would you like to join Vongola?"
