Guinevere, already there via teleportation, sat awkwardly in front of the two children.
“So… what do you want to be when you grow up?”
“Huh?”
“Your dreams and stuff.”
Guinevere awkwardly tried to bond with Larisa.
She thought she needed to treat Larisa exceptionally well to prevent them from running away. It would be better if Larisa felt indebted to her.
Larisa, suddenly wide awake, struggled to eat, feeling queasy.
“I promised your mother to support you in anything until you’re an adult. So, tell me. What do you want? Is there something you’d like to learn?”
“Why did you make such a promise with my mom?”
“I received a payment.”
“A payment?”
“Yes. I agreed to receive something very precious. I’ll tell you when you’re older.”
Guinevere didn’t want to scare Larisa by saying she’d marry William. She planned to keep it secret until both approached adolescence and realized their feelings for each other.
However, seeing Larisa’s frightened face, Guinevere added in a worried tone,
“It’s not like I agreed to receive her soul, heart, or flesh, so don’t worry.”
“Eek!”
Seeing Larisa’s pale face, William protested.
“Why are you scaring her like that?”
Guinevere was genuinely surprised and confused. What should she do?
“It’s okay, Mother’s just joking. She couldn’t use those things even if she had them.”
“Really?” Larisa asked.
“Yeah. If someone really wanted to use a heart as a material, they’d have to take it out while it’s still beating or process it specially. But your mother had a proper funeral, didn’t she?”
William’s attempt at reassurance only made Larisa tremble more. Unable to stand it any longer, Hedel intervened.
“Both of you, enough.”
He swiftly picked up Larisa and patted her back, saying,
“Really, both of you, saying such things in front of a child. You’ll give her a fit. Are you out of your minds?”
“Why are you meddling?” retorted William.
“Larisa, don’t worry. Your mother must have been a good person and is surely in heaven, free from pain now.”
William hesitated as Larisa, burying her face in Hedel’s shoulder, began to cry.
“And although the Master may seem scary, she’s not a bad person. She’s the protector of Arendia. Surely she saw potential in you and decided to sponsor you.”
“Really?” Larisa sobbed.
“Of course. Even I became her disciple without any reward.”
Larisa, skeptical of selfless deeds, soon fell asleep in his warm embrace, overwhelmed by exhaustion.
Hedel, observing the two, wore a victorious smile.
“She’s asleep. Isn’t she adorable?”
William, unable to take Larisa back while she slept, looked frustrated.
“Why use a nickname when you’ve just met her today?”
“She didn’t say she disliked ‘Larisa’. Haven’t you used a nickname yet, William?”
“Eek!”
Pleased at William’s genuinely annoyed face, Hedel smiled contentedly.
“I win this round. Hahaha.”
Guinevere, watching them, sighed.
“Hedel, just in case, don’t harbor any dark intentions towards Larisa. She’s meant to marry our William.”
“What?!”
Taken aback by the sudden implication of being a pedophile, Hedel was more shocked by the revelation that Larisa was brought to marry William.
William’s face turned red as he exclaimed,
“Ah, don’t go around saying that!”
Hedel looked seriously at William.
“Have you no conscience?”
“It’s not me, my mother decided it!”
“Keep it down. You’ll wake Larisa.”
William grumbled quietly to himself.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
