Chapter 31

Rina left after a quick chat and a few munchie-munchies, soon after Fayre transformed back to her human form. they sat on the chairs infront of the bed facing each other when they sat.

"(We meet 100 years ago when I was still a nine tailed kitsune, Kilta almost got killed by one of your kind back then.)"

"100?!."

Carnia exclaimed blocking her mouth when she noticed how loud she is, the door opened and two knight barged in with their swords feeling surprised to see when there was nothing there.

"Please call us when something happens."

the knight named Jake smiled, Jake and Anthony were the bodyguards Linda assigned to guard her room. they were both loyal to the duke and duchess it also applied to her they were both loyal to the job that even Carnia is surprised by their dedication

"Yes."

After the two left Carnia continued whisphering the words that were coming out of her mouth "did you say 100 years? how old are you exactly?." instead of being worried about the friend Fayre is talking about she was more amazed of how old Fayre is.

"(Forget about that, the people wanted to extract her magic.)"

Initially she thougth of wanting to form a blood pact with Kilta but now it seems like it will be harder than she thougth seeing Fayre being all remorseful isn't helping either "Why would they want to kill her?." Carnia asked a blood pact is way more efficient than killing the source of power.

"(they wanted her power for themselves.)"

"ohhh."

It made sense forming a blood pact only meant being partners but for some greedy people being the owner of the power itself brings back honor like Thanoss in the avengers.

"what happened to the humans that tried to kill her?."

This was the one billion question, if Kilta killed them herself that meant forming a blood pact with her is thin as thread. her mind is still contemplating whether to form a blood pact or not she does not mind the risk of getting one but the real question lies within the reply of Fayre.

"No, I turned them all to dust."

Once she heared her answer the more her questions wander is this a marvels movie or not, out of the blue she smiled thankful that Kilta was not the one to kill them learning that, her mind have told him to not be afraid of Kilta but Fayre.

"Kilta really likes humans, she never learns.... I wonder if shes still alive until now."

She forgot that infront of her is also a monster, a nine tailed one at that but it has been reduced to only one but that did not stop her imagination branding Fayre as a horrifying beast.

Carnia is still in depth with her imagination that she did not seem to notice her father already sitting beside him loooking at him with worry.

"Oh!, Father what brings you here?."

Carnia quickly fixed her posture from her spread out legs. she brushed her hair with her fingers, a year ago her hair is still short and bearable to the neck, now that its grown quite long around on her neck it became hot on her neck when she sweats, strands of hair will stick on her neck and it is irratable.

"My daughter, Me and your two bothers will be going somewhere far away tomorrow for a business, what will you like me to buy as a present?."

Carlton carried Carnia on her lap hugging him in her arms quite warmly. she felt a bit uncomfortable by the sudden touchy-touchy feeling of her father but she quickly relaxed after knowing this is normal for a daughter and father relationship.

"Where?."

"To Nari kingdom."

"(Nari?.)"

Fayre that was silent the whole time murmured, she turned back to her fox form when she felt stuffy with her human form, it takes time and effort to take the shape of a human her mana is also draining from the frequent use of her power nevertheless she still uses that form considering how she likes to look at herself on the mirror admiring what she looked and what not.

"I want to go too."

Carnia is also curious about the Nari kingdom and thougth Nari kingdom takes two days for them to ride in a horse going across the Sletch mountains will only take them a few hours.

thanks to Rina's intel she quickly figured what to do. Fayre is a monster and she knows that she tamed a monster with the blood pact but they still have the power to decide what they want if they want to kill their owner its up to them to decide but that will leave consequences the partner will also die in the process.

"You cant." Carlton replied pinching the bridge of Carnias nose.

"Why?."

Carnia did her special aegyo thingy, the one and only weapon of a kid is their cuteness and she is not afraid to use it she may be the one at the disadvantage of being embarrased of her own doing but this proved to be worth it with the likes of her father.

"We will cross the Sletch mountains, there will be scary monsters in there."

Carlton opened his hands into a claw, scaring Carnia which turned ineffective he giggled in return, the softest and cuties sound Carlton has ever heared.

"But father you will protect me from the scary monsters, because father is stronggg~."

the one thing fathers really liked are compliments from their kids, Carlton quickly gave in from the strong combination of the compliment and the aegyo.

"Of course father will protect you, then sleep early we will be going tomorrow morning."

Carlton carried Carnia on the bed and tucked the blanket to her shoulder, kissing her goodnight before leaving. the two boys always read a book to Carnia almost every night tonight will be an exemption since the two boys must be also excited for tomorrow to come quickly.
