'EXECUTE PLAN C! REPEAT EXECUTE PLAN C!'
she was about to get up and hightail out of the presence of her lord father when said man spoke in a deep and smooth voice.
"Deacon"
"Yes milord"
"Bring her along"
'Wait, what?! Run!'
Unfortunately, before her chubby legs could move she was already carried swiftly in the arms of the loyal retainer.
'What the hell?! I thought he is just a healer why the hell is he following this bastard?'
Luna and glared daggers at the back of her father.
"My apologies milady for the way I will be introducing myself. I am Deacon Obelius Caspian. I am milord's secretary and butler." He smiled softly at Luna which made the child blink her large blue eyes.
Deacon was almost as tall as her father with long, platinum blonde hair which tied in a low ponytail. He often wears a standard butler outfit. White shirt, black pants and vest. His eyes are a beautiful emerald green color. He smiled beamingly at her which made Luna a tad annoyed.
'Why are the male surrounding that jerk-oyaji of mine, good looking?'
Of course this was based on her knowledge from the novel seeing as she has yet to meet her father's other retainers.
"Sheh-ker-tari? Bart-ler?" she worded out slowly like an idiot meanwhile seething inwardly at her own way of speaking.
Her defense mechanism of acting cute with everyone kicking in at the most unwanted time.
Again the butler smiled at her.
"Yes milady. You are very bright."
XxXxX
Luna found herself sitting across the human lord of her father who was staring at her through narrowed eyes, assessing her.
'huh, if he thinks that's going to scare me he's got to try harder. After all, I learned under Sesshomaru's death glare and attacks for months.'
Before her was the largest spread of delicacies she has ever seen in her life. Both past and present. The spread of desserts was tempting her to reach out but that would warren her own death. Why the bastard of her father brought her into his study was beyond her comprehension. Was he going to torture her with the desserts before her? Because if he was thinking of it, he is already succeeding.
"You…" that voice spoke and thus causing the child to look up and look him dead in the eye with that innocent big blue eyes of hers.
"Do you know who I am?"
Luna tilted her head in wonder.
'Plan C failed. I bet he heard me speak cutely with Deacon. Plan A is out of the window. That leaves me with… Oh for the love of!"
"Papa?"
Luna could hear Deacon stifling his laughter at her choice of words.
Deo narrowed his eyes into slits. His power slowly releasing in annoyance.
The gears in Luna's head was turning in overdrive. And when the drag of her silence only caused his patience to run low and his powers to having reached almost a suffocating point
"Blackie arms!" she blurted out, her arms flung up in the air in excitement.
Almost immediately the pressure was gone and all was left was a dumbfounded look on her father's face.
"Black… arms…?" he slowly asked
"Uh-huh! You has same blackie arms behind you like Luna!" she proceeded to summon her powers and manifested them into a physical form. The black tendrils formed into nine black tails behind her and swishing around as though it was a real tail.
This caused the two male within the room to have their eyes bulged in shock.
'What the fuck am I doing?!' She inwardly screamed in horror but outwardly smiled enthusiastically.
"My words… Deo, to think the child you didn't want… Could manifest her powers into physical form" Deacon said in disbelief, totally forgoing the honorifics to his lord.
"Interesting…"
that was all he said before suddenly Luna blacked out from exhaustion.
xXxXxXx
"Mmm…"
"Oh my, princess! You're finally up! I was so worried about you!"
"Anna?"
"Yes princess!"
"What happened?"
"After your visit to the lord, you fainted from exhaustion princess! The lord himself carried you here!" her maid nearly yelled in excitement.
"But this isn't my room?"
"Princess, Lord Deo instructed us to move you to the main palace and you'll be staying here from now on and will be receiving your education next week onwards." Linette intercepted before Anna babbled like an idiot.
However unlike Anna who seemed rather excited with the current events, Linette looked more displeased and it showed on her face.
"Study?" her terror showed in her face which caused Linette to hugged her lightly.
"Don't worry Princess, all will be well. You are a bright child. I'm sure you'll learn well. You still have us. The lord listened to my request on having your normal servants to move here to the main palace along with you so as to make you as comfortable as you can."
"That's right princess! We'll learn along with you!" Luna looked up to find her usual servants all crowding in the large room of hers.
Before this the palace she was living in was the Claude palace. The palace was built for her. A useless child. There was no need for any etiquette nor manners in the palace. It was a prison for Luna. However, she managed to win over the hearts of her servants. Hence, she could live a comfortable life so far.
To be moved to the main palace, the Royal Palace, not only was she needed to learn etiquette, dancing, calculation and more. If her servants were to follow, it meant that they too would need to undergo an enormous amount of re-educating of how to act in front of a noble, the way to serve their masters and the lot.
Luna was afraid. She was terrified. Even if she had Linette and Anna with her, there was no saying if the other servants would treat her as kindly. It would mean she had to start from the beginning again. Despite being a full grown adult mentally, she is after all a child physically.
But to see them here with her, crowded in her room with worried faces. She felt touched and tears started to fall from her eyes to her cheeks.
"Princess!" all were worried on how to calm their princess.
"Hik! Thank… hik.. thank you- hik"
when they heard those words from her mouth, they too shared tears and hugged her tightly.
xXxXxXx
"Deacon"
"Milord…"
"What do you think?"
"Of what milord? Lady Luna?"
"Hnn"
a soft smile graced Deacon's lips but was gone a split second as he addressed his master.
"She is an intelligent child. One full of curiousity and mischief from what I gather from her servants. She is active and bold."
"Whether that is courage or foolishness, we will see."
"Indeed milord, we will."
"Her powers."
"Are strong milord. I have never seen the likes of it before. To manifest the element and give them a physical form is unheard of. Mind you, I have lived a long life."
"She has more than one element" Deo stated as a matter-of-factly.
"Indeed." Deacon agreed.
"When she ran into me, that was not the speed of a child of her age. Not only that, I couldn't sense her presence until she collided into me."
"Perhaps, a barrier?"
"Perhaps. But that speed…"
"If it is as you say, perhaps she inherited the late Lady Phoebe's element as well milord."
"Hn… did you do as I ordered?"
"Yes milord. Lady Luna has been moved to the royal palace quarters. Her room is the other end of this hallway. If anything were to arise I'm sure you'd know. I've also assigned a guard to her as well arranging for her classes."
"Be sure she is prepared by the crowning date."
"As you wish milord."
xXxxXx
fast forward to the day of coronation
"Princess! It's time to wake up!"
"Five more minutes…"
"No can do princess! Today is the day our lord will be crowned king! You have to be there as well and be crowned as the empire's one and only princess!"
Luna groaned as she was carried to the bathing area and cursed inwardly.
'My jerk of a father is the one being crowned and I am the one who is troubled most.'
Of course her worries were justified. Today will be the first time in her present life that she will be presented to the public eye. Meaning, after today every single thing she does will be judged critically by the other dukes.
xXxXx
"There all done!"
Luna was wearing a beautiful lace dress. The top part of the dress was a round collar, sleeveless lace with beautiful embellished small gems around the collar. The bottom half was a puffed ballerina-esque skirt of pink satin beneath baby pink nets and butterfly lace placed in a design twirled from the bottom to the waist. Her hair was curled a little more so than her usual natural waves and a beautiful floral clip keeping her fringe in place at the side.
"Whoaaaaaa" was all she could say.
'I knew how pretty I already am in this body but whoa there.'
A knock interrupted her thoughts.
