THE BENEDICTION

PYRO’S

Ember slept in my room after the piano tutorial. I felt relieved when little by little, she was recovering from Janus’ death. Even though it was hard for me to accept that I was not the father he knew, eventually, I accepted it with all my heart. No harm was caused. I should be grateful for how Janus took care of my daughter.

I let out a sigh when I caressed her small cheek. Fira was not around. She was with Cass, taking a bonding with her in the kitchen.

"You’re out of your mind." Princess Ziraya was standing at the door while looking at me. "That’s Janus and Fira’s daughter! Don’t tell me you’re thinking that she’s your child?"

I settled my body up and walked closer to her. "Anything you need?"

"I need you!" I was startled when she embraced her arms on my body. "I need you in my life and I’m scared that Fira get you away from me!"

I inhaled intensely. I stroked my hands on her hair. "Did you see me away? I’m here."
