An impressed sound escaped from Seraphine's mouth when Kayden managed to walk couple of steps with her on his back.
Although his legs trembled in the beginning, he managed to stabilise himself, and Seraphine had to applaud at the boy due to his resilience.
"Am I not heavy?" Seraphine questioned, leaning her head against his shoulder.
"No," he answered, "You are as light as a feather."
There was no hint of sarcasm in his voice, and the solemnness made her let out a chuckle. She had a feeling that he was this serious because of his fear of hurting her feelings.
"I owe you one," Seraphine stated, "Why don't we do this? Next time you are tired or injured, I will carry you."
Seraphine noticed that his ears immediately flushed red at her words while he wasted no time in shaking his head.
"There is no need for that, Lady Seraphine," he vocalised.
"Hey! No
One of the important events around the kingdom was the Moon festival, which had a rich history behind it. Too bad, Seraphine could barely recall half of it despite being told multiple times.In her defense, there were too many legends around the Kingdom, and multiple versions of the legend behind Moon festival existed. This made her utterly confused.The only thing Seraphine could recall was this being related to some Moon Goddess.If this was in her previous world, Seraphine wouldn't have treated it with much importance. But over here, where the genre was fantasy romance, she knew there was more importance to these legends.Too bad, the ancestors were incompetent and changed the story in so many ways that no one knew what the original story consisted of.Nonetheless, Seraphine didn't consider this as necessity to her. She doubted anyone even was aware of the original story these days.
An intimidating expression sat on the face of a fourteen year old while she stabbed the blade into the wall above a teen's head.Couple of teens cornered a small child and bullied him. From the child's outfit, Seraphine could guess he was a begger. It wasn't uncommon to see such children in their territory.What infuriated Seraphine was the bullies. Even though Seraphine knew she wouldn't be able to help the child in long term, that doesn't mean she would ignore when she was able to provide him with help.Seraphine dressed in a pair of pants and a plain shirt— along with those scars in her hand— didn't give off a impression of a Noble, and seeing that she was girl, the bullies took her to be commoner.Only when she took out that sword and started beating them up did they learn to fear her. Seeing how all of them cowered and scattered made her scoff at how pathetic they were.Seraphine then vocalised
Edward Vougeious stared at his daughter for a few seconds prior to nodding and answering, "Hmm. The case handed over by his highness was tiring.""Ah! Don't stress yourself, father, and make sure to take regular breaks! You were not as healthy or strong as you used to be! You need to relax more!" Seraphine said in a stern tone.Her father indeed worked terribly hard, and she was afraid of pushing himself too hard. In the novel, her father suffered from bad health at the later parts.This is why, she made sure to put extra care for her father's health. The help she could provide was limited, and moreover, that King, finding her father to be a competent subordinate, made sure to squeeze her father dry at every opportunity."Young lady, it sounds funny coming from you," Evangeline said, "Why don't you inform your father of all the fun you had over this period of time?"Throughout the novel, Evangeline
Seraphine rushed to greet Eugene once he arrived. Earlier today, he went to watch the new play that came out with Sharon and was returning home now.It's not as if Eugene didn't care about his brothers; Seraphine could see more or less he did. But the problem laid with the fact he was too dense and had a low EQ.Even if Seraphine could feel he was looking forward to them coming home each time, the twelve year old would merely nod his head at them and then silently leave to his room.If it wasn't for her close observation, she wouldn't have learned he actually wanted to be close to both his brothers and parents but had no idea about how to make it happen.Afraid of making the situation more awkward, he simply left. Of course, the rest of the family, although they might have probably noticed, wasn't good at acting affectionate either.This is why Seraphine took the job of accompany
Seraphine's heart stopped in this moment, and the hint of optimism inside her reminded there was another Duke in the Kingdom, other than her father.Carefully, she asked, "Is it about Duke Weiton?"As much as how horrible her thought was, she knew the positive reply to this would bring her relief. She hated herself for thinking this way, but given the situation, it couldn't be helped.Noah lowered his gaze, noticing how Seraphine was avoiding the reality, and corrected, "No, it was your parents, Lady Seraphine."Disbelief filled Seraphine while her eyes widened. There was no way she could bring herself to belief this. Both her legs gave in, and she collapsed on the spot.With tearstained eyes, Betty immediately went to her Lady and held her shoulders in order to support her.To Seraphine, this felt like a nightmare. No way could this be the truth. Not wanting to accept it, she close
Both Lyle and Clayton was busy handling various matters.Many greedy relatives rushed in, wanting to claim so-called responsibilities. There was still three months left until Lyle graduated and becomes of age.Even if Lyle was smart, there were many loopholes, and without their father, their biggest defences were broken down. Those searching for opportunities found this to be the best time to strike.Many would turn their backs on them, wanting to take advantage. If everyone attacked at the same time, it wouldn't be possible for Lyle to deal with it either.Clayton too put in his best efforts to handle all matters.Seraphine wanted to help as well, but both of her brothers were vehemently against it. All she could do was stay and look after Eugene.Knowing she would be more trouble than help, Seraphine didn't persist in the matter. She shouldn't add on more burden for he
Today was the day for the funeral.As the process went in front of her, handled by Lyle, Seraphine stared at it with dazed expression. Often times people came to greet her and express their and grief and pity.Although Seraphine acknowledged them, she barely registered a word of what was said in her mind.Even the King and the Crown Prince was present for the funeral, but Seraphine did not pay any mind to them while she stayed rooted to her position.Beside her stood Eugene, and both the siblings held each other's hands together, trying to be one another's support.Once everything was done, discussions and arguments on catching the perpetrators were done. After that, the conversation went on how Lyle was a child and still at academy that someone should take care of the household.Many elders stepped forward at the suggestion, registering their right. This made her feel sick. W
A month had passed since her parents had passed away. Throughout this time, Sharon had practically moved into their mansion and took care of Seraphine in order to make sure she didn't collapse.In addition to this, Sharon attended to Eugene as well.Seraphine felt increasingly guilty to Sharon by each day. But Sharon didn't accept the apologies from Seraphine, pointing out what they had received from Seraphine were far greater.Indeed, in the twin's eyes, what Seraphine did was akin to giving them a new and better life. However, Seraphine didn't believe what she did deserved this much gratitude.Due to her position, she didn't put in any effort and merely ordered few words to help the twins. However, the twins sincere actions of taking care of them room more efforts on their part.Nonetheless, in order to reassure them, Seraphine didn't argue against them. Everything was taking a heavy toll on
