Surprise attack and far well's

Just as Marika had packed up her stuff a man came running in to the shop.

"Miss are your still here!!!, Soldiers of the Azure Dragon Clan and Black Dragon Clan are here and they started to attack people and raiding shops."

'What??'

Marika couldn't believe Richard nor Canus or Cinis would do something like that.

So she casted a messenger spell that made a direct link to Richard wherever he was.

As she had connected she saw Richard in what looked like royal clothing.

'Your Majesty, please forgive me for contacting you so sudden. But it appears that there are soldier of your castle and of the Black Dragon clan in the village and started to attack and raid people.

Please forgive my rudeness but what is the meaning of this?'

Richard saw Marika was agitated. But he didn't send any soldiers to Faber village.

Richard asked Canus who was with him, if he or his brother know anything about their soldiers being there. But Canus did not and contacted his brother. Even Cinis did not send any orders to send out any soldiers. And Cinis had no reason to betray Marika nor damage or break their new formed Alliance.

Marika sighted s sigh in relieve. But then who had the ability to move the soldiers of both clans she wondered. Unless they were not soldiers of both clans but only dressed up like them.

As Marika wanted to say something the man of the blacksmith shop came running.

"Missy! Missy!," he brought 2 swords with him.

Marika looked at him 'What's wrong?'

"The old man of the book shop… He got hurt pretty bad!"

Richard saw the change in her expression, she went from agitate to full furry.

'Marika then said to Richard, Your Majesty you better get your ass down here right now!'

Before she disconnected the contact spell, she told all the man there to evacuate as many people as they could.

"What about you Missy?"

'Those soldiers just signed their death warned.'

Richard then contacted William and asked to bring Dante and Kevin with him.

Cinis who thought the question of his brother was weird already came over in a hurry.

Shortly after William and the other arrived, and Richard told them what was happening.

But then Kevin and Dante felt like there heart was being torn apart.

"Master we need to go now!" Dante said.

"Sister is in a lot of pain right now!" Kevin said anxiously.

William didn't hesitate for a moment and opened a portal. As they arrived they saw the devastation of the Village. And in the middle was Marika sitting on the ground holding the body of an old man letting out an agonizing scream that gave the 5 men and a boy chills all over the body.

A soldier walked up to Marika and said "You should just die, like the old man did."

Marika laid down the old man on the ground and stood up and. She pulled her sword and with one swing she cut of the soldiers hand that was holding a sword.

The soldier let out a scream of shock and pain.

More soldiers started to appear and charged at Marika "Kill that b*tch!"

3 soldiers started to attack but were cut down by her in a blink of an eye.

Dante and Kevin looked as the sister they knew and loved was completely gone.

"Master! It feels like sister is gone, and that there is somebody else in her body." Dante said.

Richard thought of something but he didn't want the other get hurt.

"Stay away from me and whatever happens don't move or say a word."

They did what Richard said and moved away from him.

Richard yelled "Marika!!!"

Marika turned around and looked at Richard. Richard then saw the stated she was in. Her eyes were full of rage and she probably couldn't tell the different between friend or foe.

Marika charged at Richard, but just when she was a few centimeters away from Richard she drop her sword and started to hug him.

"That's my girl, you did very well on your own." He said as hugged her.

The others finally breathe a breath of relieve. It seems she didn't go berserk, but they wouldn't blame her if she did.

Richard then said to Marika "You can destroy all the soldiers here but I need you to keep a soldier alive from each side preferably the captains."

Dante and Kevin each held a sword of Marika and one at the time hugged her and staid "Go and take them down, we will evacuate people who are trapped."

Marika nodded, and she called for Agito. 'Help my brothers and keep them safe.'

She then whistled and the dire wolfs showed up. The whole pack came to the village.

Please help the villager get out safe, as she looked at the old man's body. The old wolf laid down and let his son put the old man's body on his back. The old wolf then howled and said to the pack "We bring them out! All of them dead or alive! The rest of the pack started to howl and went off in every direction.

Marika then said to Richard, Canus and Cinis 'To me all the soldiers look's the same, so you guys go find the captains. I don't have much knowledge on battle formation and stuff, so don't blame me if I already have killed them.'

The 3 men nodded and also went out to search.

Marika looked up to the sky 'Please be safe everybody, and don't worry I protect this place till my dying breath. '

Marika then set her sight on the soldiers who had now surrounded her. Her eyes changed and there was a heavy aura coming from her, her blood lust could be felt all over the village.

Marika changed her form from a 16 year old to her 23 year old self and she at will even grew her horns.

'You should have let this dragon sleep! Because waking me up was the worst thing you could ever do.' Marika said to the soldiers.

Then the soldiers started to charge at Marika and a fears battle began between an army and a one man army started.

While Canus and Cinis had found the captain of the supposed Black Dragon clan, they informed Richard. And 3 dire wolfs came to help the brothers. In the distance you could here they cries of falling soldiers and fighting soldier.

Richard also found the captain of the supposed Azure army. And called for Noir

"Go to the center of the village and look on how Marika is doing."

Then the old Dire wolf and 2 other wolfs came to Richard and informed that everybody was out of the village.

Richard then asked the old Wolf to take the captain and keep him pinned down if he try to run they were allowed to injure his legs if necessary .

Richard then ran back to the center of the village, and saw Marika standing surrounded by dead body's looking up to the shy. As he saw that her horns were showing, he saw a beautiful dragon who had fought for the sake of the people. Even thought she was covered in blood.

'Grandpa, this place is safe once again. You can rest in peace now.' She said as a tear fell from her eye.

She then slightly turned her head, still with a tear falling from her eye, she smiled at Richard.

'I really am a monster, aren't I?'

Richard ran up to Marika and hugged her tight. "You're not a monster, you are a warrior who fights for the people, you defend the weak who can't pick up a sword."

She then whispered, 'I'm sorry, but I'm very sleepy right now.'

Richard looked anxiously at Marika who was closing her eyes.

'See you in a few hours.'

And she then fell asleep in his arms. But for some reason his anxiety did not faded.

"William!!!, Agito!!!"

William and Agito came running. And saw that Richard looked very concerned.

"Open a portal to Mystic Cave, hurry!" Richard yelled.

William did what he asked, even though he didn't know what was going on he knew something was completely off with Marika.

Before he went through he said "Take the prisoners to my castle dungeon. Take everybody else to the castle. Find Saxeus and bring him over to the castle to." Richard commanded.

William nodded.

"Agito you come with me." Richard said.

When they were in the cave Richard called for Solis. Both Solis and Caelum came down.

"What is wrong with her? Didn't you seal her healing ability?"

Solis looked at Marika.

"This reckless girl forcefully broke my seal." Solis told Richard.

"Can't you do anything for her?" Richard asked Solis.

Solis looked at Marika again and looked back at Richard.

"We will heal her and place another seal on her. But you better scold you're mate when she wakes up."

"Ohh don't worry about that."

Caelum started to heal Marika and after that Solis placed another seal on her. After a few minutes Marika woke up.

Marika looked around and saw she was at Mystic Cave. She then saw Solis and Caelum , and Agito.

But then she heard an angry voice.

"What were you thinking!? You broke your seal that was place on you!"

'But…'

"No but's! Do you like it so much to scare me like that!? I thought I was going to lose you!"

'I'm sorry…'

"If you ever do this again I will lock you up. Do you understand?"

'I understand.'

Marika then had to endure another scolding from Solis and Caelum and she apologized to them.

On the way back to the mansion Marika asked. 'Did you find the captains?'

Richard nodded. "They are currently in the dungeon of the Moon Castle."

"Is this going to affect you're alliance with Cinis?" Richard asked.

Marika shook her head. 'Because I couldn't think of a way why both of you would even do something like this. You both wont gain any benefit's from it. I could only think of two things.'

"And what is that?"

'Well the person who planned this either hoped I got killed in this battle, or they wanted me to hate you guys.'

"But who would do this?"

Even though the Sun King is a stupid man who can't rule decently over his people or discipline his children. He wouldn't be so stupid to ignore my warning. There is only one who sees me as treat.'

"The 3rd princess ."

'Most likely even the Sun King told her to do nothing till after the party. But she strikes me as a person who can't wait for a few days' Marika said with a smile.

"But why this way?"

'Like I said, If I got killed in the battle she got rid of me.'

'But the reason she choose to use both the Azure and Black Dragon clan soldiers is because if I was able to survive, she would gamble on me hating you guys.'

'But there is one more thing she didn't think of…'

"What is that?"

'If you were to convince me that it wasn't you order the soldier and I would believe you, You could also perceive this as a breach of your alliance with Canus. And that would mean there could have easily break out a war between you. And any engagement would be stalled until after the war. And If the Black Dragon Clan would lose that king would have to fallow your ruling.'

'In other words, If I never planned anything to ruin the engagement party, the 3rd princes would have ruined her engagement all by herself.'

Richard turned around and kissed Marika "My girl is so smart."

"So do you want to come and interrogate the captains in the dungeon?"

Marika shook her head. 'I'll leave that to you.'

'I want to go back to the village attend the burial ceremonies, so I can say goodbye to grandpa and the others of the village who died.'

'Could you please join me?'

"I'll always be next to you."

'I left my stuff with Saxeus, could you ask someone to bring it over to the village.'

"It will be done."

Only a few hours had passed since the battle. And Marika and Richard had already returned to the Village.

All the villagers were happy to see Marika was alright. But suddenly everybody started to bow.

Marika didn't understand what was going on.

But then one of the villagers started to speak.

"My King, our savior. We have heard that everything was a set up by someone. We don't blame either of you for the ones who lost their lives."

Then another villager started to speak.

"We are grateful to our savior, you helped safe so many life's and you fought so many knight by yourself. You are our Guardian Angel."

Then aunty Lia spoke.

'Marika would you please send the fallen souls of to the afterlife?'

Marika was all shocked up, she then said 'please everybody rise.'

'You guys, all welcomed me with when I just arrived in the world and was clumsy and lacked knowledge. You treated me as one of your own so please keep doing so.'

'Of course I will send off the people who lost their life's.'

Richard then said "I the King of the Moon Kingdom and the head of the Azure clan will send financial aid and people to help rebuild this Village.

The suddenly there was another person speaking.

"I the Crown Prince of the Ignis Kingdom and one of the Black clan will also send financial aid and people to help rebuild this village."

Marika walked over to aunty Lia and hugged her, as she cried she apologized to everybody. All the villagers hugged her and told her it wasn't her fault, and that it was thanks to her they survived.

Then the designer asked Marika to meet him tomorrow before nightfall.

[ Next day ]

Marika got her stuff among them was a sword, Richard looked at the sword.

He asked "Did you get a new sword?"

Marika nodded, she picked it up and gave it to Richard.

'It's my gift to you.'

Richard pulled the blade from the scabbard and he saw a beautiful dragon on one side in the blade and on the other side the words, Et Custos Animae.

Marika then said the meaning of the word are…'

"The Guardian of the soul."

Richard couldn't find any word.

Marika then asked 'Do you know the meaning of your name?'

Richard shook his head.

'Richard means brave ruler, you are a king who rules over people and protect them. So you are the guardian of all those souls that are your people.'

'So please take this sword wherever you go, it will protect you no matter what.'

Richard hugged Marika. "I promise."

The evening fell and Marika went to the clothing shop. As she entered she was met with and excused shop assistant and designer.

'What happened to you guys?'

The shop assistant then said 'we pulled an all-night to finches you clothes for the ceremony.'

'We need to hurry, and chance your clothes and do your hair.'

After they were done, The shop assistant said. 'You look so beautiful, but I feel something is missing.'

Marika then let her horns appear.

'That is perfect, now your look is complete.'

Marika was dressed in a ceremonial battle outfit with light colors. The designer knocked on the door and told the women that it was time to go.

As the both stepped out the designer saw Marika and was completely aw struck. If he had to describe her, she looked not like and guardian angel, but a Dragon Guardian.

"Now let us go."

Everybody had already gathered. And when Marika appeared, they all looked at her in awe. There savior, no there guardian had appeared.

Richard was overcome with all kinds of thought, This girl, this women she emitted an aura of a warrior, a leader, and protector all at the same time. She was the most beautiful, kind and strong person he ever met. He felt like he fell in love all over again.

Marika first started a speech and when over to a song.

'My friends, today we honor those who have left us. But we will remember them until we breathe our last breath. Let us move forward for their sake's as well and live a peaceful and happy life's as they wanted.'

Then a soothing voice could be heard in the death of night.

Let me guide you , up to the stars in the sky.

My friends who have fallen, we will always remember you.

Watch over us, as we live one.

Be our guiding light for when we get lost.

To bring us home, with your love for us.

As Marika sang her song, some people started to cry and some people felt relieve.

But they all felt that the death they were mourning found peace with her song.

As they all looked up to the sky they saw a phoenix flying over. It was perceive as a sign that the souls were guided to stars in the sky.

After the ceremony was over Marika changed her clothe and gave back the outfit to the designer.

'Hold on to this for me, and keep it safe.'

Both the assistant and the designer hugged her. "We will keep it safe for whenever you need it."

Marika left the shop and walked over to the book shop, where she hasn't been after everything had happen.

Canus who also was at the ceremony, wanted to call out to Marika, but was stopped by Richard and her brothers.

"Let her be for a while." Richard said.

"Sister needs time to find closure and say personally goodbye to the old man." Dante said.

"If anything is wrong we will feel it." So don't worry.

Canus nodded in agreement. "Alright then."

When Marika was in the shop, she saw there was some damage done but it didn't looked all so bad.

She then clean up the shop and as she started to pick up the books that were on the ground.

Out of one of the books a letter fell.

Marika picked it up and saw it was addressed to her. As she was reading it she broke down.

Dante who was with Richard said "Master go to my sister please. She is falling apart emotionally."

Kevin then added "she feel anger, pain, sadness, fear, and lost."

Richard rushed over and saw Agito sitting in front of the door, guarding it. As soon as he saw Richard coming he stepped aside from the door to let him in. After Richard went in he resumed his guarding duties.

When she saw Richard she asked 'What am I supposed to do?'

Richard took the letter from Marika and read the contented.

The letter stated that if he would ever lose his life, he would leave the shop in her hands.

She could do whatever she wanted with it, as a thank you for all that she did for him.

It also asked a favor of her, to find his daughter and grandchild and pass down a box of family heir looms. To ease her search he written down the names of his daughter husband and granddaughter

Richard saw the name of the husband and recognized him. He was a soldier of the special guard at the castle.

Richard then spoke "The husband of the daughter is a soldier of my castle special guard."

"I'll inform him and make arrangement to come here with his wife and daughter tomorrow."

'Thank you'

[ Next day ]

Marika stayed at the inn because she had a plan for the book shop that was left to her, and she wanted to turn into a library so anybody could read the books that were left behind.

She was also had also talked to the adult in the village to start a school for the children. Where the can learn to read and write, but also learn things that would benefit there family business and even discover their talents and chase their dreams.

She then told of a way to improving the security of the village.

As everybody was listening to her plan, and all agreed.

Canus then said jokingly "The only thing that's missing is a castle."

Everybody started to laugh, but the idea wasn't that bad.

One of villagers said "Why not build a Mansion for our guardian."

"Yeh I agree!"

"We can use it as a school and it will also work as discuses, people will think that this village is owned by a Lord."

Marika looked at the villagers 'Than who is going to be the acting Lord of the Mansion?'

Everybody was looking at Marika.

'Well I don't mind, but I will be more absent than around, who is going to fill in the place while I'm out?'

Richard then proposed "Why not let William, Dante and Kevin do it when you're out."

Dante and Kevin looked at Richard

"Are you serious? We have no clue on governing a village." Dante said in protest.

"That's why I added William. He can teach you guys."

Marika looked at her brothers 'Have you forgotten my teachings ?'

'Didn't I taught you that if there is something in life you want, you need to fight for it?'

"That's true sister but…"

'I also taught you that if an good opportunities would arrive in life, grab on to it and don't let it slip, because you'll regret it later in life if you let it slip.'

She then walk over to Dante and Kevin.

'You two are my brothers and that will never change, but you can't live in my shadow forever. You need to build your own life's as well. Do you understand?' as she hugged them both.

"I understand sister." Dante then said.

As Marika wanted to return to her seat and handle the last few important issues, the door of the room flew open.

Richard then whispered to Dante "Watch you sister closely, you will learn a great deal now."

A women came walking over to Marika and slapped her in the face. The women started to yell at her.

'You b*tche!, Thanks to you my father died that day!'

All the villager stood up, but Marika signed that they shouldn't interfere. She then turned her head and changed her appearance. She was now in her adult form and her horns were showing. The aura het emitted was domineering. But the women didn't back down.

The daughter of the women came running in together with her father who was in uniform.

The girl looked around 16 years old 'Mother how dare you slap her like that? Do you have any idea who she is?'

Marika looked at the girl 'Your smart, do you mind if I teach your mother her place?'

The girl shook her head 'By all means go ahead.'

Marika looked at the husband and also nodded.

Marika slapped the women so hard blood started to drip from the corner of her mouth.

'You blame me for the death of your father? How arrogant can you be? Not a single person in this village has blamed me for what had happened and the people they lost because of it.'

The women wanted to slap her again put Marika grabbed her hand before the slap hit her.

Richard was watching Marika closely because if she was provoked long enough then the one in front of her could easily loos there life's.

'Well since you blame me for it, fine but let me ask you this. Are you in anyway capable to take out 2 full squad of soldiers all on your own? Can you even put the people safety above you own? ARE YOU EVEN CAPABLE OF USING YOUR OWN BODY AS A SHIELD?'

'You know what I see right now in front of me? A selfish women, who screams at others for the death of their parent who they haven't visited them after they got married. Your father never got to see his own granddaughter.'

Marika than grabbed the women by the troth. The soldier who feared for his wife life pleaded to let her go. Marika looked at the men.

'You gave me your permission, what you want me to stop half way? She will never learn if I do that.

Because your pretty incapable as a husband.'

The daughter then said 'Father she is right. And didn't you teach me to accept responsibility for my action? Then why should mother be an exception?'

The soldier then turned to Richard "Your Majesty please, I beg you to stop her."

Richard sighted. "Watch this and see for yourself that even I can't stop her."

"Marika, sweetie, my angle, can you please stop now? Because my soldier is afraid of losing his wife!"

Dante and Kevin had to contain their laugh. While Marika gave him a glare that could kill him.

"The soldier saw Marika's look to his king. "See I can't stop her."

'I wasn't planning on killing her, I was merely planning on bringing her to the edge of death.'

Marika then looked at the girl.

'Do you want me to stop to?' She asked.

'No not at all, please continue.'

Marika then turned back to the women in her grasp. The women was on the brink of fainting due to oxygen shortest so Marika let her go.

'You accuse of his death, aren't you a funny piece of trash. Let me tell you something. When I met your father I treat him like he was my grandfather, and he treated me as his granddaughter. Whenever I was in this village I always visited him first. Gave him medicine and health checkup.'

'I a total stranger paid for repairs to his house, made sure he had things he needed. And what worried him was how he was going to repay my act of kindness. And I always told him that I always help people without wanting anything in return.'

'The women coughs and spoke 'Don't take anything in return? Didn't you take all of our family passions? You just let him die that day and you don't even care now that he is gone.'

Richard was recalling the scene of Marika sitting there helpless on the ground with the old man in her arms, to him it was the worst thing he ever saw.

Marika had a murderous look on her. She was provoked for too long, Dante and Richard were ready to intervene because they knew that one wrong word would be the end of the women's life.

Marika then said 'I don't care? You even know what his last word were? '

'Thank you for taking care of this old man, I was fortunate to have a met a sweet girl like you. Please help the people of the village.'

The women had to push Marika's last button.

'You just let him die, because he was old and weak. And now you make up a story like this? Your nothing but a greedy b*tch.'

Richard saw Marika's eyes change color. He stood up and intervened because he knew this was getting ugly.

Soldier you better keep your wife's in line. If not than she can only blame herself for what's to come.

'Who are you to order my husband? And why are you protecting this bitch?'

The young girl started to speak 'Mother you really have no filter do you? You don't have any idea that your being rude to the King.'

'This man is the king? Don't make me laugh, he is nothing but a peasant.'

The villager now couldn't contain their anger and started let out there anger.

Richard changed his form "I'm a mere peasant huh?"

"Your sight is very short indeed."

"You are not only rude to your King, but even have the audacity to speak to a future queen like that?"

Richard called for William. He order him to read the note Marika had found. William read the content and the daughter listened to the word of her grandfather she never met. She looked at Marika and knew she loved and cared for her grandfather and he even asked her to find them to bring them there family heirlooms. And she had up hold her grandfather wishes.

'She gets to get the store my father owned? I won't accept that!

It should be ours, everything my father owns is mine.' The woman said in a fit of rage.

The soldier knelt before Richard and Marika "Please punish my wife as you see fit."

The girl hugged Marika, Thank you for taking care of my grandfather and everything you did for him. I'm grateful he wasn't alone in his final moments.'

The woman who was adamant on taking everything kept on going.

William then said. "Ma'am did you know the word of a king is absolute, but the last wishes and words of the dead is something that not even a King can go against."

The women finally stopped.

Richard then asked his soldier "Do you wish to divorce your wife?"

"Yes my king."

"Then I'll grand you this.

He then looked at the girl "If you wish to cut your ties with your mother I'll make that happen for you."

'Please my King, I don't wish to be related to that women in any way.'

Marika then picked up the box and gave it to the soldier.

'Since you were married to her you, that still gives you the right to inherit this box.'

The soldier took the box over from Marika, and gave it to his daughter.

He then knelt down one again, but now in front of Marika.

"My loyalty lies with my King, but as of today it lies also with you."

The soldier placed a kiss on Marika's hand as to seal his oath to her.

"Soldier take this women to the dungeon." Richard ordered.

The young girl asked Marika 'Can you please show me where my grandfather used to live?'

Marika smiled and nodded. 'Fallow me!'

Before she left she said that the meeting was over and that they will continue after the current plans were done.

Richard then asked Dante "Did learn anything form your sister?"

"Even though she doesn't know the laws, she is aware of what she can and can't do. She doesn't see herself as a ruler. She cares about want others think."

"Do you think you can handle the seat of a Lord now?" Richard asked.

"Since my sister and you believe in me, I will give it my all and show you that I can become a good man that you see me as. I will not let you and sister down."

"William you teach Dante and Kevin about law's and how to govern a village."

William then said "As you wish my lord."

Marika and the girl arrived at the old man's home. She was shocked on how small it was.

Before they entered Marika asked the girl 'What is your name?'

'Ahh I'm sorry I haven't instructed myself, My name is Sophie.'

'A very good name that fit's you. I'm Marika.'

Sophie than asked 'I don't mean to offend you, but how old are you exactly?'

Marika laughs, I'm an adult, but it's actually a funny story why I look like this.'

The girls went inside. Sophie looked around and so a sea of books, then they went to the back and saw a brand new bedding.

'Did you get this for grandpa?'

Marika nodded. After he recovered from his cold he told me he was having backaches and wasn't sleeping well. I gave this to him so his health would improve again.'

'You have medical knowledge?' as she looked surprised.

'Yes I do. My fist life was a living hell and I gained knowledge that could help me survive. And when I got here in my second life I thought I didn't had a long time so I was looking for people to pass down my knowledge.'

Sophie than asked 'So why do you appear as a girl of my age?'

Well one day my body went out of control, fist I was an adult with a mind of a 5 year old child. Then when I woke up I was a child with an adult mind.' Funny right and Marika laughed.

'But because I was stuck in a child body I was frustrated, knowing you don't have much time and having people around you at that time knowing what was happening but not telling me I pretended I was oké and spend my day exploring my surrounding's.

'It was actually the King familiar who taught me, how to change my appearance. But then I got stuck in my 16 year old body for a day. And when I came here I was a 16 year old girl.'

'But at the end of the day I could finally change back, but since everybody got to know me as a 16 year old, I always change to this body because I think it would look strange if I suddenly appeared as an adult.'

Sophie than asked 'What are you going to do with this place?'

'I was thinking on changing it in to a library, where everybody can come in and read books and have a place to gain and expend there knowledge. But I'm still looking for someone to fill in the position on librarian.'

Sophie thought Marika's idea was great and her grandfather's hard work wouldn't go in vain.

Richard and the soldier heard Marika's conversation with Sophie. The soldier was shocked what he heard. He could only imagine that what her life was like before, and when she finally found her happiness, she was even going to lose it soon after she found it. But she started teaching her way's so she could at least help a few people in what time she had left. He never thought he would meet such a selfless person in his life.

Sophie then said 'Than can I fill in the position?'

'I love to read and when I'm an adult I want to become a teacher.'

'If your father agrees to it I'm fine with that' Marika said.

Then the soldier said ' Alright, but you have to promise me one thing!"

Sophie and Marika looked up. And saw the man standing there.

"Promise me you come and visit me from time to time and write to me often, and whenever I have a day of or an vacation I'll come and visit you."

Sophie was so happy and hugged her father, I promise! I'll be a good daughter and make you proud of me.'

Now that that is settled you two fallow me, there is someone you need to meet, for your own safety.
