The Puppy
Chapter One
"Oh, Uncle Renning!" yelled a cerulean-haired girl, who was around the age of five.
"Yes, Lucia?" answered the duke after noticing Lucia, and his niece Elincia approaching.
"We have to ask you something," chimed in the younger girl, about four.
"What is it?"
"We found a puppy…and mommy said we could only keep it if it stayed at your palace."
"You want me to keep a…puppy…at my palace?" asked the man, clearly shocked.
"Yes!"
"I'm sorry…but…"
"Uncle Renning!!"
They both put on their best puppy-faces, and, though he tried, Renning just couldn't say no.
"Okay, fine. Bring him over tonight."
"Thank you, thank you, Uncle Renning!"
And the two girls skipped off merrily.
"What have I gotten myself in to?"
But little did he know, his troubles were only beginning.
Author's Note: I do realize that Renning isn't Lucia's uncle. However, since Elincia, Lucia, and Geoffrey were raised together, I thought it would be sort of cute for her to think of him as an uncle. Hopefully this chapter wasn't too bad, and I'll try to update soon.
