Not A Normal Life

"Is it?" The girl was thrilled. She had never heard something like that.

"You should not trouble your father like that, Penny."

"But Penny only wanted to see it. I want it Mommy, please." Penny held her hands but when Cassie did not reply, Penny puckered her lips and kissed Cassey on the cheeks, "mommy please."

"I do not know. Ask your father." she sighed. She could never say no to her daughter.

The librarian laughed. She did not behave cold like last night when she looked at the child.

"Then I will go and ask Daddy." The girl did not wait for them to carry her.

She slowly jumped on the chair and then kept her feet on the ground and ran away.

"Daddy! Daddy?" She kept shouting and checked every room.

It was usually Tyrone who came to meet her first. She had no idea where her father worked.

"Penny! Why don't you stop and I will carry you?" asked Cassey who followed her but the girl refused.

She was going to find her daddy herself. What if her strict mother refused her father to give it.

But her hard work paid off soon, she saw a good man who leaned and carried her.

"Are you looking for your father?" he asked when she bobbed her head up and down.

"I will take you to him." he passed a glance to her mother but then happily took her away.

For a second she felt uneasy when her mother was left behind. But Penny still waited patiently. The uncle and aunt in the palace were friendly. They were only helping her.

"Your highness, princess is looking for you." Just as Penny reached the office of her father, she left the uncle and ran to her father.

She hugged her father tightly.

"Daddy!" she squealed with joy when Tyrone held her tightly.

"This is the first time you have come looking for me. Do you need anything?" Penny nodded firmly.

"Yes, I want magic cloth." hmm?

He raised a brow towards the knight who had brought Penny here but the man shook his head.

"Baby! What is a magic cloth?" he asked when she raised her hands towards his cape.

"Like this. But it was shiny. With magic, it was sparkling. I want sparkling magic cloth." she repeated with a pout and wrapped her tiny arms around his neck.

She stood up on his lap and kissed her cheeks.

"Please daddy. I want magic clothes. I will look pretty in it." She knew that kissing had always worked on her mother. She was sure it would work on her daddy too.

Tyrone paused for a second. He was delighted that she took the initiative to kiss him. But he still did not know what she wanted.

"Do you want sparkling clothes?" he repeated when she nodded her head.

"Alright! Bring her dresses." The maid bowed her head and left immediately when he held her in his arms and walked toward the small closet in his room.

He took out the sample mana stones he had received in the morning from the mine.

He crushed one sprinkled on her dress as if it was a spice. Her dress started to sparkle immediately and glittering that her eyes widened.

She touched the sparkling things and it shone further.

"Wow! Daddy it is so pretty." she squealed with joy as she touched it again and again when he laughed.

"Is that what you were talking about?" The girl had already forgotten what it was exactly but it was prettier. It looked so cool.

So she nodded readily.

"Yes, it is pretty."

"Then I will make all your dresses magic cloth." he promised, making everyone's eyes widened.

Each of the mana stones was a rare gem. Its power can be used to fight demons. But he was using it to make her clothing glittering when it could be done with some gemstones.

But no one dares to say a word. The girl laughed and kissed him again. She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a tight hug while smiling ear to ear.

That was the moment when Cassey reached there. She was hoping that Penny would convince Tyrone.

If she would have access to the invisible cloak, maybe she could use it to cross the boundaries and meet the general.

It would also help in escaping from the bar if things did not go her way.

But she should not expect so much from a kid. She had even forgotten what she was asking for.

"She had come here to ask for an invisibility cloak." She reminded Penny and Tyrone.

The man frowned as he looked at her coldly.

"She did not need something like that. She is a child. What if she wears it and we lose her!" his eyes darkened. "How could you even tell her about something like that. She is just a baby."

The invisibility cloak was a dangerous thing. He glared at her when she scowled.

"The librarian told her about that. Why did you have something like that in the books for kids anyway? I was just trying to teach her the basics of reading since I know you can not appoint tutors for her." he flinched.

He was still hiding the presence of the child. So, he could not take her out or ask others to come and meet her.

He could not buy presents for her. Even her clothes were altered in the palace. He could not assign a tutor for her either.

He felt guilty for the child in his arms. He would make sure to treat her better so that she did not feel the difference.

"The books are not written by me." he looked away.

He did not understand the need to explain all of that when she was responsible for it in the first place.

"But I will assign a tutor for her from one of my men. She had already forgotten about those things. So do not remind her. And out of everyone, you do not have the right to belittle me."
