My precious nanny...

Teleporting in a flash, the king of gods arrived at the place where the four dukes battled. Even though gods can't be killed, they can still be beaten half dead. Their powers are on par with each other. So they didn't hurt each other much.

" The king has arrived "

A god watching the commotion happened to see the king and alarmed the fighting dukes.

" Greetings your majesty ..."

The crowd falls to their knees. The king doesn't want to say the word "rise" as the art of fighting for a little fairy is very ugly for the gods.

" It's not as if they haven't seen any beauty .."

The king thought ...

However after seeing the face of the little fairy with pale, pitiful,weak and helpless buffs, he can understand these dukes. Even with the king's negotiation,no one wants to back off ..

The king said he's very helpless too...

The king nearly says if you can't lose, just endure each other and enter this little fairy's harem. In the middle of heated negotiation, the king order them to pursue the fairy normally. The one she accept is the one to win the fairy...

" I don't like any of them... Doesn't my wish matter? I won't accept any of them no matter the decision... I'm not a property you own for you to decide who to be given.."

All the eyes turn to the source of the voice. A god chuckles at her speech and says

" Of course darling..... you're the property they own. So you can be given to anyone of them. Who told you to appear in their joint territories...."

" I'm my own person. I'm free. It's not the time of feudalism to take the ownership of other. I'll decide my own destiny..."

She speak with passion and confidence.

" Sorry to disappoint you...This place is feudal kingdom.. We've king, dukes, marquises and barons...The more merits, the stronger the power....Only merits matter here.. "

The onlookers burst out laughing, amused by her simple thoughts....

" This fairy might come from 20th or 21st century. I heard they use democracy in government ."

Some gods murmured each others.

" I'm a fairy... I ascend with merits... You're being unfair.. If your oppression is known to others, who will want to do good deeds anymore... Did the heaven knows you're oppressing good people?"

The king didn't want to force the unwilling person at first. But when she started questioning the heaven and his government, he called out...

"Where is the merit accountant? Come here...

Read the merit account of this fairy...I'll judge.."

The merit accountant came forward, opening the account book and read out loud...

" Jasmine...came from the blue star ... Occupation : cosmetic researcher ... Merits : Many women find confidence by using her cosmetics, countless people find happiness because of her beauty products... Demerit : Countless people are cheated, bewitched and become the another boats to step on by the beauties using her cosmetics...

Conclusion : Heaven give her flawless beauty and ascension quota for her commitment to research..

However for the crimes commited by using her products, she'll become a serving fairy... and because her customers used her beauty products to step on many boats, she is placed in the joint territories of four dukes...."

The onlookers have the knowing look on their face. Some even nod their heads.

" She didn't do bad things so she becomes fairy but she has to become a serving fairy because her products do more harm than goods...it's a punishment..."

The onlooking fairies have the expression of "learned".

" Even so I won't compromise.. Didn't you all say I'm the most beautiful fairy, only the king deserves to have me. I'll become the queen. I want to become the queen..."

She looked like she's enlightened. After that, no matter how other fairies or gods persuaded her, she stubbornly resisted the king's decree and insisted on becoming the queen.

Gloria is following behind the king and listening the gossip at first. However that fairy defying the king's decree is like slapping the king's face hard. The king will punish her but Gloria won't feel at peace with this fairy who convert her dad in heaven..

Call me impulsive...

I walk out slowly from behind my dad. I don't want to give her a chance anymore. Let it be quick...

I don't want my parents to have a fight every two or three days. Mama is willing to fight and dad is willing to suffer. But I'm not...

" Go back to where you came from....And be a reasonable person next life..."

I decisively kick her down.

As she's a legitimated citizen ascended with merits, her merits form a shield to resist her descending from heaven. I burn my own merits twice the amount of hers and forcefully kick her down.

It happened too fast that no one can stop me from doing what I want. The dukes said it's a pity. Did they feel heartbroken? Maybe... Did they want to punish me or reprimand me? They didn't dare...

It's not their turn to punish me.. neither my parents can.

The heaven can though...

It's the story of my small punishment also known as goddess descending to collect merits.

******

Back to the present time..

I run faster and faster among the trees. The wind told me I'm safe when I arrived into the deepest part of the forest. Thankfully, although my hands and feets are short, my nature magic do the wonder. I can shuttle like the wind in the forest thanks to the nature magic.

" Scare me to death..."

I touched my little heart. Then again, where should I settle down? Humans are scary. I guess I should stay in the deepest part of the forest to avoid them.

"Beasts won't like the tree. I don't even smell edible to them. I've to avoid herbivores..."

Talking to myself calm my heart. I'm searching for a carnivore' territory to coexist peacefully.

" It must be very strong carnivore.... Only the strongest can deter the greedy human..."

" You means... me?..Why do I've to act like a deterrent for you little cub?.."

A calm voice appears suddenly, makes me jump nearly three feets high.

" Ah...giving me heart attack ... Who?..Who is talking?"

I look around to search for the source of the voice.

" What kind of cub are you? You looks like human but you don't smell like one. Hmm...Let me smell a little....ah yes...You smell like... a plant?.."

A silver white wolf jumps down from the big tree I lean on. It smells around me with undisguised curiosity. I guess this is a she-wolf as the voice is feminine.

" Because...because.. I'm a tree.."

" Ah...Strange...A tree can transform into flesh and blood body.. It's the first time I see something like this in my whole life..."

" What's so strange about me? You can even talk like a human .."

" I'm not talking like human, cub...It's you who understands my beast language. The strange one is not me but you."

Being called strange, again and again by a she-wolf, I said I'm speechless.

" So what are you searching for? I'll beat you out of my territory if you are an adult but I guess I should help you.."

" Because I'm a cub?.."

" Yes because you're a cub. Where are your parents? You shouldn't wander around here. It's very dangerous place... you know?"

" They're not here. I know the dangers of this place but I can protect myself."

" Huh...with your short arms and legs? How can your parents leave you here? Where are you going now? Looking for a powerful beast? For what? To send food?"

Continuous questions make me dizzy. She looks really majestic but she also looks really kind. I've decided. She is the one I'm looking for. My precious nanny....

" Can I come with you? I'm easy to raise. I only need a patch of flat ground to take root. You don't need to feed me or provide other assistance. I'll be the best companion for you."

" Why do I,a lone wolf even need companion? Go find other places..."

I've to use my coaxing skills at maximum. I tell her she'll still be a lone wolf if her companion is not a wolf. She's so majestic and attractive that I only want her place as my home. I'm an orphan here. So I need the kind and beautiful she-wolf as a guardian.I guess she's happy to be praised because she says...

" Stop talking nonsenses..

Come up. I'll carry you to my cave."

She said I'm talking nonsenses but she might not think so in her heart. She may be secretly happy. She even want to carry me home. I'm such a lovely baby. I put down my hair which I hugged the whole time.

" Why are you naked? Don't you even have clothes?"

Yes, I don't even have a piece of cloth on my body. I didn't know as the long hair I hugged covered my body while I was running or talking with the she-wolf. I quickly hug back my long hair to cover up my body.

" I just transformed into this form. I was so busy running away from the humans that I couldn't care about having clothes or not."

" Humans? There are humans in this part of the forest. Are they hunters? "

When she heard about humans, I can see her body tense. She turns into the hunting mode, ready to pounce.

" No they're knights. Oh, the princess want to dig me up to give her brother as a present. So I run..."

Her tense body become normal again. Maybe she hate or afraid of the hunters but not the knights. I climb up on her body hugging my hair tightly to cover up my body.

I've a child's body and mind in both two lifetimes. So I've my sense of shame but not much.

" My name is Gloria. What's your name?"

" Veronica "

" Wow...What a sassy name..You're the most sexy and confident in your race, right?."

" I don't know. I'm a lone wolf now.."

" This means you're not a lone wolf before. Why are you alone now?"

" None of your business.. "

I'm on her back, so I can't see her expression. Even if I can see, I can't read her expressions from the face of wolf. But I know she's sad. Wanting to know more will results in digging her scars.

" How can a warm blooded wolf say such a cold thing?"

Some things are better left unsaid. We're not that close yet. I can wait until she want me to know. We haven't talked after that. She's very fast. We arrived at her cave in fifteen minutes.

Her cave is in a valley of a rock mountain with a little soil. The cave entrance is well concealed because it's surrounded by big rocks. I can't plant myself infront of the cave with this little soil. However there is a clear stream near the cave.

It's just 20-22 meters away from the cave.

" Veronica... I want to plant myself there. My tree form is much bigger than human form... "

" Sure..go ahead "

After asking permission from the owner of this place, I run toward my ideal place to plant myself. The magic particles are really dense here. Veronica follows closely behind me. She points the flat ground of the streamside to me.

" I used to sunbath and take a nap here. Use this place. I can hide my head under your shade when the heat of the sun is too intense while I'm taking a nap."

I fall in love with this place at first sight. I take root downward. I tell myself this is the place I establish my elf kingdom. Actually no....

This is Veronica's territory. I can't be thick skinned. Living in her territory and thinking of her territory, I'm such a villain. Whatever... I'll try to become powerful as soon as possible. I'll find a safe place after that.

As for bearing some fruits when I reach adulthood, I'll ask Veronica if she want some more companions. I still have times.

Veronica looks disappointed seeing my tree form. Well...I'm short. My branches are thin and my leaves are small. The typical dwarf among trees. Standing beside me with her majestic body, it's not clear who is shielding who...

" What a dwarf....I overestimated you. Your shade can only hide my nose...not my whole head.."

It's not that exaggerated, okay?. Her height is 2 meters while my height is nearly 1.5 meters. I can completely shield her whole head. I protest furiously forgetting I can't talk in my tree form. No voice come out but the branches are shaking noisily.

Veronica, the world is miserable and you just have to point it out...!!!!
