SPLASH!
Erella splashed water on her stepmother and stepsisters. They were choked painfully and started to cough.
"Wake up, you three evil witches!"Tubby squealed posing bravely behind Erella's left ankle. Erella, Eddy, and Suzy laughed at him because he was acting brave but actually, he was a great coward. They just stopped laughing when they saw Erella's stepmother and stepsisters slowly opened their eyes and looked at her disorientedly.
"I still want to leave them here outside Erella. If they die then it's their fault." Eddy said grumpily.
"Eddy, don't teach our Erella bad things," Suzy said while holding her waist with her left eyebrow raised. Eddy turned red because of embarrassment.
"D--Don't say that, Suzy! I---I'm not teaching Erella bad things. Uhmmmmm... I---I--I just don't want Erella to get tired." Eddy tried to give an excuse.

"Ugh! I can't take it anymore!"Audrey screeched then roughly threw the dirty rag she was holding on the floor. She and Graciella were cleaning the big Astley mansion while her mother was cooking in the kitchen. It was already been two days since they were doing what Erella said to them. And the servants that they hired won't even help them because her stepsister told them to do it. She also instructed them to monitor her sister, her mother, and herself if they were doing their jobs correctly and to look after the young duke and his knights. Erella had no trust in them. Her stepsister was thinking maybe they will have bad intentions for the young duke and the captain if she's not looking. "Damn it! We are the ones who are paying them but they are listening to that bitch!" Audrey said fuming with anger. Graciella suddenly covered her mouth. "You stupid fool! Shut your mouth! Do you want to get hu
Sob! Sob! Sob! Flynn the young little fox was sobbing in Erella's arms. He didn't want to part with his mother, but she left him to this small kid's care. His mother said he couldn't protect him if he will stay with her while she's wounded. But she promised to get him back after her wounds will heal. So he reluctantly went with Erella so his mother will not worry about him. But when his mother left him to go into hiding, he regretted going with the little girl. "Argh! Why mother you left me with this small potato?! It looks like I am stronger than her." Flynn cried. "Don't call our dear Erella small potato! You are the small potato!"Tubby and Eddy exclaimed angrily. Erella didn't pay attention to the little fox remarks. 'I'm understanding. I'm understanding! He was just sad because this is the first time he left his mother's side.' Erella told herself but there was already a bulging vein on her forehead that indica
Clip-clop! Clip-clop! A group of men riding their horses was heading towards the south of the kingdom where people spotted monsters in the forest. They were on a mission to eradicate the monsters who suddenly appeared in a village and kill most of the villagers. When they were already in the middle of the forest, suddenly the leader of the troop stopped. "Your highness?" The knights who were together with him called his name in confusion when he suddenly stopped. He faced his knights and repeatedly put his right hand upon his left shoulder and down back to his side to signal them that the area was dangerous especially in front of them. The knights who were already on guard put themselves more alert. "Tie your horses on the trees and let's walk from here onwards." He commanded because he could feel there was an ominous aura ahead of them so it's better to leave their horses when they fight. After that, they went on
"E---E---Erella?! T---Tree!" Tubby and Eddy screamed in fear then they closed their eyes tightly. It seemed like their soul and body wanted to move apart. Suzy couldn't say anything, she just clutched Erella's pocket while closing her eyes. But Flynn was calmed. He was used to running at fast speed with his mother. At the moment, Erella was running too fast because Flynn taught her how to use her mana to increase her speed. But the problem, she couldn't stop herself from running too fast because the mana kept on flowing towards her feet. It seemed like a broken faucet that continues to flow. She wanted to stop it but her mind was full of fear because she could see a big tree in front of them. She thought if they will ram into the tree, they will be injured heavily or they will die. "Damn little fox! You need to think about how to get out of this situation or else you will die first!" Erella exclaimed. "You are real
"Erella, are they still alive?" Tubby asked worriedly. Erella didn't answer Tubby because her eyes were stuck on the knight who was holding the person she crashed into earlier. She didn't notice him earlier because her mind was full of controlling her mana that she's always failed to do, and finishing off the monsters. 'Oh, my gee! He's handsome! He's better to be an idol than a knight!"She thought admiring the beauty in front of her. But Flynn ruined her moment when he talked. "Oh, dear heavens! Why I'm stuck with these idiots! Can't you see, they are still breathing?! They were just paralyzed. For sure those ugly creatures used the same bomb as they used to my mom earlier."Flynn explained sarcastically. 'These damn fox! He won't really stop until he gets something from me!' Erella thought. She really wanted to sew Flynn's mouth so he won't talk but she controlled herself because she d
"So good to be back home!"Erella said after going back home at half-past three in the afternoon. Her little friends were already asleep in her pocket while the little fox was just following next to her. The servants invited her to the dining room but she refused and she went straight to Max's room even though she was already hungry. She wanted to fill her exhausted soul first by just looking at her darling Max before dining. She really became physically and emotionally exhausted because of the prince and the little fox. It's better for her to fight a thousand minotaurs than mingle with those two. At first, the fox was annoying but after she warned him he carefully chose his words before saying them. Then she thought she will have peace of mind after the fox behaved but she thought wrong. When the prince woke up after he was healed by the little fox, he looked around to see what happened to his comrades and the monsters. He saw the monsters were a
Max regained his consciousness when Erella came near the bed. He was about to open his eyes to greet her but he froze because Erella said something that made him feel shy. His face turned red and his heartbeat ran widely. She said about how perfectly handsome he was and how he looked like an angel. He really wanted to cover his face but he was afraid Erella will know he was just pretending to sleep. He was not really used to someone calling him handsome or he looked like an angel. The one who was saying those things were only his family and the people in his estate. Usually, people described him as a terrifying man so they were scared of approaching him. 'Am I really handsome and do I really looked like an angel in her eyes?' Max thought. He was still not convinced of what Erella said. He felt dejected when he remembered the kids he encountered called him a scary monster. He flinched when he felt Erella sat next to him on the bed.
Erella was really upset. It's already been two days that Max kept on avoiding her. He was not eating together with her and if she saw him watching her from afar, he will disappear immediately in her sight. They were supposed to go back to the Von Heinlein estate after the knights were feeling better but because Max kept on avoiding her, they have no choice but to stay in her home the Astley estate. She didn't want to go back to his estate feeling awkward with each other. She knew Max still felt embarrassed about that day when Audrey stabbed her in the chest. Even she was still embarrassed about it but she just swallowed her embarrassment because she knew he was just worried about her at that time. "For goodness sake! He only saw the skin under my collarbone. It is not yet the important part of my body!" Erella rolled her eyes and hardly exhaled her breath. "I am supposed to be the one who is embarrassed in that situation! Because he as m
