LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya gently rested her hand on the back of Rosily’s head, stroking her soft hair, gazing at her daughter with affectionate eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Alright, alright. Just look at how dirty you’ve gotten. You’re all sweaty and rubbing it all over Mama, and your clothes are in tatters because of you, Rosily.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But Rosily still refused to let go, clinging tightly to her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya had no choice but to set down what she was holding, lean over, and wrap her arms around Rosily, lifting her into a cradle hold.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Only then did Rosily finally loosen her grip.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Still, she quickly hooked her arms around Enya’s neck again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She loved leaning against Enya—it was a source of comfort.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya’s scent made her feel safe.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Maybe it was because, during her time inside the egg, Rosily had almost failed to come into this world.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That near-loss left her subconsciously terrified of being abandoned, making her especially dependent on Enya.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Time to wash up and go to sleep.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Mama, I want a bedtime story.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Alright.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Mama, I want an adventure one.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Okay, okay.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Carrying her to the bathroom, Enya replied patiently as they spoke.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After placing Rosily in the bathroom, she went to boil water.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Using magic to heat the water didn’t take long.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She fetched a nightgown while everything was being prepared.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Rosily sat idly on a little stool, bored as she waited.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya brought in the hot water, pouring bucket after bucket into the large wooden tub, white steam rising into the air.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The young girl undressed and stepped into the water.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
About half an hour later, a sweet-smelling little Rosily was carried upstairs by Enya and laid gently onto the bed in the second-floor bedroom.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After covering her with a thin quilt, Enya got back to her tasks.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Not long after, she changed into a creamy-white nightgown matching Rosily’s and entered the bedroom again with a thick storybook in hand.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As soon as she sat down by the bed, Rosily scooted over to make room.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya had no choice but to sit on the bed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Because of her tail, she couldn’t sit upright comfortably and had to lean sideways against the headboard.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Rosily rested her head directly on the soft mound of Enya’s chest, her little mouth curved up at both corners, clearly delighted in a way words couldn’t express.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This made Enya laugh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Was it really that exciting?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Flipping open the book, Enya began recounting the story of her own youthful adventures.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
These tales were far more thrilling than ordinary storybooks.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The book she brought from the “library” also had real images she’d once seen—though they had been somewhat censored or edited.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She told Rosily how, after first parting ways with Vivienne, she was scammed out of her money and left penniless, then mocked and ridiculed at her first visit to the Adventurer’s Guild.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She spoke of how a local playboy noble pestered her endlessly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After being rejected, that man resorted to underhanded means.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He hired a group of thugs to set a trap.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They tricked Enya into accepting a quest to gather herbs, and once she was in the mountains, they ambushed her, trying to capture her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya had nearly become the heroine of a lewd tale—but she got lucky and escaped.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That harrowing experience was what truly opened her eyes to the harshness of this world.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This heavy tale continued until the part where she jumped off a cliff into the river, seriously injured and with pursuers still behind her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In the midst of that desperate situation, she found the tiniest sliver of hope and managed to turn the tables by using a magical beast to defeat her attackers.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As Rosily listened intently and heard that the girl in the story had escaped danger, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s getting late. Let’s stop here for tonight.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya closed the book, intending to get off the bed—but Rosily immediately flopped down on her lap.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Nooo, I want more!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Rosily clearly didn’t want the story to end here.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even though the girl in the story had fought off the mercenaries, the villain who orchestrated everything hadn’t been punished yet.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And now she’d have to wait until tomorrow to find out?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But no matter how much her daughter pouted, Enya stuck to her decision.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She needed to return to her own room.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Rosily puffed up her cheeks in protest, her orange-red eyes pleading as she looked at Enya.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What’s wrong?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya was puzzled.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She’d already told the bedtime story, hadn’t she?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She softened her voice and asked, but Rosily just kept staring at her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After thinking for a moment, Enya finally understood what her daughter meant.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The child still couldn’t sleep without her in her arms.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya reached out and pinched those chubby little cheeks.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Alright, I won’t go. You really leave me with no choice.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Late at night, Henna was still sitting alone in her study.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The entire room was empty and quiet, and even the whole castle felt oppressively still.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In front of her was an easel, and in her hands, a brush and a palette of paints.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Henna had been sitting there for a long time, yet she hadn’t made a single stroke on the blank canvas.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She just stared at the empty surface in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No one knew how much time passed before Henna finally tapped her brush against the paper—her first stroke.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But after taking that first step, she didn’t know how to take the second.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Phew…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She let out a long sigh and set the brush and palette down on a nearby chair.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then, she covered her face with both hands.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After a while, Henna took the half-touched paper from the easel and tossed it casually to the ground.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She slowly stood and walked toward the desk.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The floor was already littered with thick layers of discarded papers—some with rough sketches, some completely blank—all carelessly stepped over as she passed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Henna picked up a teacup from the desk.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Inside was a crimson liquid.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After taking a sip, her mental state visibly improved.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She leaned against the desk, sitting down and turning her head toward the wall.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There, hanging on the wall, was a painting.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It depicted a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old, with silver hair tied in a ponytail, holding a plain sword.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The girl in the painting looked back over her shoulder—gazing out at Henna.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Henna rubbed her eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
For a moment, she thought the silver-haired swordmaiden in the painting had become a single mother.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But in the blink of an eye, the image returned to normal.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Even though they both have silver hair, nothing else matches… How could Miss Phil possibly be her? Sigh… What am I thinking? Am I really trying to use Miss Phil as a substitute?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“When did I start thinking this way?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Maybe from the moment she first met Miss Phil?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Henna let out a silent, self-deprecating laugh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
To many people, the position of Redpine City’s Lady Lord seemed far beyond reach.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But to Henna, even as a lord, she felt powerless against the tides of history.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had to cling to someone like Vivienne just to avoid being swept away.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She adjusted her mindset and reexamined her feelings toward Miss Phil.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then, Henna realized—she might truly have fallen for a woman.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And not just any woman—but one who already had a child…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Henna liked the atmosphere in Miss Phil’s home.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She longed to be part of that peaceful world.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But… would Miss Phil accept her?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Henna wrestled with her thoughts until dawn broke.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Morning.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Rosily groggily opened her eyes to find Enya was no longer beside her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She instantly snapped awake, slipped on her shoes, and ran downstairs.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Sure enough, she saw Enya pressing a rabbit into a basin with one hand, while holding a knife in the other.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The blade was already pressed against the rabbit’s neck.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Had Rosily woken up just a little later, today’s breakfast would’ve included meat.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Enya glanced at Rosily, then down at the rabbit in her hand.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Rosily, do you want to keep it?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Does rabbit taste good?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Rosily, eyes wide, stared at the rabbit and asked that unexpected question.
