*Bonus Chapter*

The princess of the domain of Rome rushes up to me with the brightest smile I had seen her put up. She tried to hold my hand but I found myself taking a step back.

Pouting she rested her petite hands on her hips,

"Hehe, didn't I say? With me around, nothing can happen to you!" 

Ignoring all manners and etiquette, the girl cleared the distance between us in a second. Her hot pink hair flared with the wind, her arms wrapping around my figure.

"Li-Lilithh wh-what ar-ee you doing?!!"

I felt like crying. This girl I swear to god.

Her grip tightened, and her voice cracked as she whispered, "Theodore…"

My heart lunged at the sound of my real name, a name that almost felt foreign to me. 

"Thank you," she said softly, and there was a vulnerability in her voice that broke through every wall I'd put up.
