Book 2: Chapter 27: Answer
Scarlet
After Allen leaves, I walk Aria down to the entrance where mister Roger who is apparently her fathers butler is waiting. And the moment he sees Aria holding onto my sleeve as we walk, his eyebrows rise ever so slightly. So little that I dont think I wouldve noticed it if I was still human.
Guess this really is an odd sight.
I personally have never heard of Blue having a daughter, but maybe thats just common knowledge in some circles? Could also be because I avoid social media.
Its probably that, Tar dryly retorts to my thoughts.
Young miss, the butler says, not missing a beat as he bows slightly and reaches his hand for Aria. But Aria just goes around me and hides on my other side before nodding her head towards him. Which clearly surprises him further, even if he doesnt show it beyond a simple pause.
This guys a professional. Then again though, hes Blues butler. He kind of has to be if hes gonna work for a psychopath like him. Otherwise he might be killed by Blue while on the job.
The butler looks between me and Aria for a few seconds before focusing on me and asking, Young miss Asger, would you like a ride back to Lions Heart campus?
My eyes widen in shock at the fact that he can recognize me at a glance and even knows exactly where Im going. Only for me to calm down a second later after thinking about how that isnt exactly difficult to figure out. Not with all the information online.
And I guess it makes sense for a good butler to be up to date on everything going on in the city hes in.
Whats with the young miss part though?
I feel Aria pulling on my sleeve, making me glance down to find her looking up at me with a very faint expression of hope on her face.
Guess she wants me to go. Wouldnt be surprised if thats why the butler asked in the first place too.
So I look up at him and answer, Sure. If you dont mind.
Aria quickly turns her head to look at the butler, who bows slightly and then leads us to a large limo, stopping to open the door for us.
Fancy. Even fancier than Michael and Emilys.
The drive ends up going just about as expected, with Aria clinging onto my sleeve the whole time which was really starting to feel awkward and not a single person saying a word, just letting the music fill the vehicle instead. And once we arrive at the front gates of Lions heart, the butler gives me the number for Arias terminal without even being asked to do so before he drives away with the girl, who was rather reluctant to part ways with me.
Maybe I might have to rethink my opinion on kids, since I've always kind of hated being anywhere near them. Ive never really dealt with them before, and never really could.
Of course, I'll never have my own. That's for damned sure. Government law or no government law.
I know that Black and Purple don't have any kids thanks to looking it up after learning about Aria being Blue's daughter, so there's no reason I can't follow their example there.
Blue just decided to capitulate to their request to get them to shut up and stop bothering him. The other Knights and some of the Class Vs never bothered doing that, so all I have to do is reach Class V and I should be fine.
But Aria seems different. And I can handle her too.
So maybe not all kids are intolerable.
A very interesting turn of events that I was not expecting when I woke up this morning. Or when I went to the stupid interview, which yay was canceled.
As I walk back towards the top class residences, I cant help but think back on all that Allen told me.
There are several things that are bothering me. For one, why would a Knight block my adoption? Actually, why would a Knight hand me over to a Class IV Guardian and tell him to put me in an orphanage of his own creation?
Then theres the fact that I just noticed something while thinking back to the dream.
White actually looks similar to me. Kind of like she could be related to me.
Is that possible? Could she be related to me?
She did slot me in for the primaries without ever meeting me, even if it was obvious by my ranking and how well I did that Id end up with the spot anyways. And why else wouldnt she want anyone to adopt me?
I frown, only to groan as I continue walking down the street, possibility after possibility passing through my head at a hundred miles per hour.
Eventually I make it to the gate, but I dont really pay much attention, simply waiting a second for the guards to open them before passing through and heading towards the manor containing my suite. I even ignore the comment I hear from one of them afterwards about how I seemed distracted.
It isnt until I reach my suite and head straight towards my room that I decide to figure it out another way.
Once I get to my room, I sit on my bed and ask out loud, Tar, is White my birth mother?
Tar doesnt say anything.
Thats a sign that she might be my birth mother in and of itself.
I let out a pent up breath of air before falling flat on my back on the bed.
Ya know, when I was thinking a while back about how Id react to knowing my biological mother, I always thought Id be angry. Or plain pissed off.
But I kind of feel apathetic towards her, in a way. Of course, shes an asshole for what she did assuming my guess is right that shes my mother by birth but I just couldnt care less about her now that I know.
Its an understandable reaction, Tar finally speaks, appearing in the air before landing on my chest and continuing, considering how you grew up, and how you already have parental figures in your life. And you never wouldve met them without your mother doing what she did.
Was that an admission? I think he just admitted that White was my mother you did, didnt you?
He doesnt respond. Of course, he doesnt.
Guess it wasnt a direct admission, so he cant be punished? Or something like that?
Either way, it does kind of take a load off my mind knowing who my mother is.
Although very, very little is known about her thanks to her straight up wiping all recorded data of her out of existence beyond the basics. Such as her title and position as one of the Knights of Humanity, White, her magic being Null magic, and that she is female. But everything else, including her name and appearance, were wiped from all recorded locations whether electronic or paper.
Which makes me incredibly curious.
Who exactly is my biological father, and how did one of the Knights of Humanity end up getting together with noble demon?
