Althea Melody (POV)
While I was staring at Mr. Bosworth and so does he, I just smiled at him.
" You should really smile sometimes Mr. Bosworth, you look really very charming with a smile! " I said
" Does the lady think so? " Mr. Bosworth says as I nod my head.
" Of course, Mr Bosworth! I would never lie to you. " I said with a smile.
" But seriously Mr. Bosworth, I'm telling you, I still believe that there's no such thing as a door of opportunity." I said as Mr. Bosworth raised his eyebrow at me.
" Doors doesn't open on its own, am right Mr. Bosworth? " I said with a smile on my face as Mr. Bosworth only stares at me.
" Well, of course my lady, a door does not magically open on its own. " Mr. Bosworth says
( I mean yeah, if you think logically, doors won't open unless if you twist the doorknob or have a key to open it.)
" That's why, if you truly wishes for something that you want, you gotta work for it until it comes, hard work pays off, efforts won't betray you. " I said while staring at the wishing fountain.
" That's why... " I said and then smiled as I walked towards the wishing fountain.
" Hmm? " Mr. Bosworth
" My lady? " I heard Mr. Bosworth says
" What are you doi—" Mr. Bosworth says but it was already too late, I picked up a lots of coin in the wishing fountain.
" I...I got coins! "
" I finally have lots of coins!! Hahaha " I said with a smile on my face and when I turned around to show it to Mr. Bosworth.
My smile disappeared when I remembered that I'm still actually with my dad in the capital and there are people looking at me with such eyes.
( Sh*t.)
( Was I being too greedy to get coins that I forgot that I'm in a public place??? )
( How shameless!!! )
I then looked Keil and father who was already next to Mr Bosworth, and father who's crossing his arms looking at me straight in my eyes.
" My lady... Why would you..." Mr. Bosworth says as my smile has disappeared when I met my father's eye, and Keil crossed his arms and was staring at me.
" Your highness, just what are you doing with all these coins from the wishing fountain? " Keil says
( Sh*t up... I'm so shameless.)
( I really have forgotten that I'm still in a public place, sh*t... I... How does this even make sense!!!! )
( Ahhhhhhhhhh! Just bury me to the ground already! )
( People are staring at me! )
( I'm supposed to be not shameless!!! I'm supposed to not bring any shame to my family's name! )
( What am I doing!!!!! )
( Oh my god, I'm so shameless ... )
" You're truly such a naughty princess, your highness." Keil says with a smile.
" H-Huh..."
" How could you just take all those coins full of dreams from other people? " Keil says as I feel a bit guilty but at the same time, I don't regret it.
I-I mean...
Why would these people even throw coins in the fountain?
It's such a waste of money you know... With this coins, they can buy foods.
And there's a lot of coins in the fountain...
" Is this what you want my lady? " Mr. Bosworth says as he just give me a look on his face.
" H-Huh? What do you mean? " I said, still holding all the coins with my skirt.
" The thing that you just said that 'if you truly wants something, you have to work for it'? Is this what the lady wishes to have?? A coin from the wishing fountain?? " Mr. Bosworth says as he couldn't believe what I'm doing right now and I looked at all the coins on my skirt.
( Uh... I guess? )
( I mean.. coins are cool.)
" W-Why? What's wrong, it's such a waste of money to just throw coins... You know." I said as all three of them just sighed.
" My daughter..." Father says as he then kneel in front of me and take all my coins away.
" W-Wait, father... T-That's my coin." I said as I saw father's eyebrow crossed.
" Thea, these are not yours." Father says
" B-But finders a keeper." I said as father just sighed.
" These aren't yours my dear daughter..." Father says
" But... I want the money in the fountain...I mean, it's such a waste to throw money...you could buy a whole lot bread with it." I said as all three of them just give me a look on their face.
" *chuckles* Your highness, you're really are funny, right Elfie boy? " I heard Keil says but Mr. Bosworth didn't even bothered to talk back to Keil and he was just staring at me.
" Thea, I will buy anything you want today and I will also start giving you your allowance, but in exchange..." Father says
" You can't take all these coins from the fountain, these aren't yours, do you understand? " Father says
( What? It's such a waste for not taking all these coins back to our home though...)
( I mean it's a wishing fountain for a reason, but still, money is money.)
" You will buy anything I want? " I said with a smile on my face.
" Your highness, that smile of yours is very... suspicious." Keil says
" I will buy anything you want my daughter, just leave all this coins in here. " Father says
" Then, I'd like father to buy this wishing fountain, in that way, all these coins are going to be mine." I said with a smile on my face.
" Hah... You're truly an evil and naughty, princess." Keil says with a smile on his face.
" Thea, being greedy is bad. " Father says
" How about I give you all my treasures? And in exchange, her highness will stay away from the wishing fountain." Keil says
( Treasure is actually good though.)
" Father can't buy the fountain for me? " I said as Archduke Willard sighed.
" Thea, my precious daughter... This fountain belongs to the holy church." Father says
( Holy what? )
" See that statue of the wishing goddess behind you? This coins aren't yours, so If we do that we will—" Father says as I smiled at him.
" I don't believe in goddesses tho... " I said
( Also, I don't go to church that much...)
" . . . . ( ◜‿◝ ) " Father
" ಠಿ_ಠಿ . . . " Mr. Bosworth
" 〳 •̀ o •́ 〵Oh! This is truly my first time meeting a human who doesn't believe in goddesses at all! " Keil says
" Truly a new discovery of human existence. " Keil says as I looked at him.
" *sigh* well Thea, you're going to the holy church next month before entering to an academy though. " Father says
" Academy??? " I said
( School??? F*ck no...)
( I mean, school is cool, but... I have to go to school again???? )
" Yes, you will learn so much in the academy, you'll get new friends and learn to do magic. " Father says
" I will also teach you with magic along with Lucas. " Father says with a smile on his face.
" But, why do I have to go to the holy church, dad? Do they give ID's and certificate there? " I said and they just went quiet.
" My lady, every children that are six years old needs to be blessed by the holy church. " Mr. Bosworth says
" Why? " I said
" So that you will be blessed with magical power and you will be able to see guardian beast or spirits. " Father says
" That's right, your highness." Keil says as I thought of something.
" What happens if you won't get a blessing then? " I said
" You won't have any magical power nor can even see any magical guardian beast or spirits in your surroundings. " Father says as I saw Keil and Mr. Bosworth nodding their head.
" Having a magical power is one of the standards in the society. " Keil says
" And having a strong guardian beast or having a strong affinity to the element will be good too, your highness." Keil
" You will hear lots of praises from the people around you." Keil says
" And I'm pretty sure you have a strong affinity to any kinds of elements..." Keil
" Even the beast or the spirit king could have strong affinity towards you your highness, that's because your mother is a—" Keil says as father then interrupted Kiel.
" You can't mention my wife's name yet, not until my daughter is twelve, please remember...." Father says as Keil nod his head and when I looked at Mr. Bosworth, he too, look quite curious.
" Right, my fault, your Majesty..." Keil says as I saw Mr. Bosworth's eyebrow crossing to each other.
" Anyway, should we go back to the mansion now? " Keil says as I walked away from them, they looked to busy with their conversation.
and I'm just her, chasing after seeing a white rabbit.
( That was definitely a rabbit right??? )
( A cute white rabbit, I always want a rabbit as a pet.)
While I was following the rabbit into a small corner and a little bit of a gloomy place...
( Ew... There are lots of rats and cockroach in here.)
Just when I thought that I finally captured the white rabbit, I touched someone else's hand instead.
" Ah! "
I immediately pull my hand away from the person right in front of me.
This person in front of me was wearing a dark cloak, so I couldn't see what this person looked like, but this person was taller than me.
" What are you doing in here? "
( It's a boy? )
" O-Oh... I was just following that white rabbit on your arm..." I said as I point at the rabbit on his arm.
" Do you like my pet? " He says as I smiled and nod my head.
( Of course I do! It's a rabbit!!! I love rabbit! )
" Yes, I really love rabbits, they are so cute, but I couldn't have them before." I said
" Do you... Want to pet it? " He says as I smiled.
" Can I? " I said as he then nod his head.
" Yeah, his name is Trail." He says as I smiled.
" You have such a lovely pet, is this a boy? " I said as he nod his head.
" Yeah, he's a male." He says as I nod my head.
" His fur is so smooth and fluffy, I like Trail's cute tail even his bunny ears is so cute." I said
( Waah, I'm finally touching a bunny for the first time! I could only look at all the bunny in pictures before tho.)
" Uhm, may I know your name? You look like a noble." He says
" Oh! Pardon me for not introducing myself properly." I said with a smile.
" My name is Althea Melody." I said with a smile on my face as I staring at him, but I still couldn't see what he looked like, I only know that he's way taller than me.
" That's a very beautiful name for someone like you, which family are you from? " He says
" Crawther, my father's name is Willard Crawther. " I said with a smile on my face.
" The Archduke? The brother of King Leonid Valor Crawther from Khisfire Elzura Kingdom? " He says
" Uh... Yes? " I said
( How does he know that? )
( Is my father so popular? )
" Willard Crawther that crazy slaughterer from the war who is also a powerful arch mage who is feared by all wizards and witches? " He says
( Why is he saying it like that? He's exaggerating it.)
" That crazy man who controls the military in Khisfire Elzura Kingdom? " He says as I went quiet.
( Why the f*ck is he describing my father like that??? )
" He is your father? You're his daughter? " He says
" Yes? He's my dad, is there something wrong about it? " I said
" Did you know that your father is the war god who annihilated the Desmond and Vhilmor Empire who was known to be an advance empire filled of talented warriors and mages? " He says
( The f*ck? )
( That wasn't even mentioned in my sister's novel though...)
( I mean, well, he's a supporting character so that is to be expected.)
" That's because my father is so strong that he can destroy the whole world if he wants to. " I said with a smile on my face but suddenly, he gives me a paper.
" Can I have a favor? " He says
" Huh? " I said
" Can you please ask the Archduke for an autograph? " He says
( He knows about autograph? I mean,I'm sure that word existed for more than one hundred years ago.)
" I'm one of your father's fan, he's amazing, I wish him to have a duel with my brother someday, I want to see who would be stronger, your father or my brother. " He says
" Yeah, sure. " I said with a smile on my face.
" But I bet you that my father is way stronger than your brother." I said
" I know my father is very strong, he can defeat your brother in one move at all. " I said and then I saw his half face and saw that he was smiling.
" I look forward to that when it comes." He says as I smiled back at him.
" Well, it was nice knowing your existence Althea, I would like to meet you again, if there's a chance." He says and then suddenly I heard Keil and the others voice.
" Looks like I have to go, we will meet again soon, that is..., if we are destined to meet." He says
" Of course." I said and then he disappeared and father, Keil and Mr. Bosworth appeared behind me.
