23 Baby Blasts Ou (1/2)
Mallory walked behind the family. She was afraid of ruining the picture perfect family with her horrible face. The scar on her face went from her eyebrow to her jaw. It was ugly and she was conscious of it but Daiyu payed little attention to it when they were together. Although this made her happy, she couldn't forget the years of humiliation she went through because of it.
Daiyu noticed her humble and shy attitude.
[Sigh. This girl is too easy to read.]
She saw a reflection of herself within Mallory. Seeing the innocence, naivety, and shyness in her reminded her of her own past and the small world in which she enclosed herself.
She was so gullible.
[If she want's to be with me, she needs to change.]
Instead of letting her father carry her, she squirmed until she was released.
Fan Ying could only cry his grievances away as he saw his daughter go into the hands of Mallory.
[I should find an excuse to move that girl to a faraway courtyard at home.]
He watched as Daiyu raised her arms looked up cutely at another person.
[That look should be directed to me. HER FATHER!]
He wanted to pull his hair in frustration but he didn't want to go bald. He liked when his wife caressed his long hair or tugged on it when she wanted to seduce him. Not that she needed to do that when with one look he would already go hard but still he loved it when she did.
He couldn't take it much longer and decided to look away at the scene that wasn't for him.
At his side, he could see his wife chuckling and looking at him with ridicule. He could only look at her in disbelief. How distressing.
On the other hand, Mallory didn't know how to react. Her savior wanted her to carry her. She looked up to the lady of the house but only received a chuckle and the master of the house refused to look their way. The only choice left was to carry the first miss.
She reached out her trembling arms and lifted her up. She was light. She had never carried a baby before so it was a new experience. Her heart filled with warmth and a small beautiful smile emerged on her face before all her body came to a stop.
Daiyu saw everything went according to plan and was carried by Mallory so she decided to do a final act and surprise her. A kiss.
She gave her a peck on the cheek and smiled.
Mallory's body stiffened. She turned bright red and looked at Daiyu who was smiling brightly. She quickly returned to her senses to catch up with the general and his wife but her mind was in a chaos.
[MY HEART! MY HEART. AISH. IM GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!]
Eventually they arrived to the palace but before even turning to look at it Daiyu looked at Mallory.
”Mallory can I call you Bambi. Oh and I want to say that your scar can be your beauty. I love you with it but if one day in the future you tell me you hate it I will help you get rid of it.”
She then tidied up and headed inside at she observed her surroundings.
[My scar is my beauty…
Eldest miss that woman that gave birth to me gave it to me after knowing this; do you think I should still treasure it?]
She looked at the small baby's back as she walked into the large palace and sighed before following after her.
-Emperors palace/palace court-
The emperor, Li Aonan, was discussing economic affairs with court officials from neighboring kingdoms. One of the soldiers by his side whispered on to his ear, ”Emperor Li, this subject has just seen the general come visit and he is heading this way.”
”Bring him in. He is the pride of this kingdom.”
Most Emperors would be afraid of the power gained by a general as influential as Fan Ying but not Emperor Li. He was confident in his trust for his general mainly because they were basically brothers.
His mother had adopted Fan Ying and he had been a candidate as a prince since he was related to them as a faraway cousin but he refused. He had said he preferred to take care of them as a general instead of taking what was theirs so he grew to become strong. The fact that he had seen all this happen as he was hidden beneath a table gave him reassurance that there could be no better general at his side than Fan Ying.
All this time he only managed to bring pride and honor above the rest now all that was needed was an heir to continue his lineage.
The emperor quickly tidied up and smiled as he revealed the news to the officials. Everyone was excited to see the famous general who had spread his name across many continents with his victories and just like the emperor the all tidied up and put on big smiled of welcoming. However when the door opened nobody was seen.
Or rather…
They just needed to look down to see the person.
”FAANN DAIYUUU! I told you not to get ahead without us!”
The deep masculine voice brought everyone out of their confusion and soon they all realized that there was a tiny person standing before them.
She had silver baby hair and her golden robes made her seem like a heavenly being but what entranced them the most were those bright eyes full of mirth ever so mystical.
Even the emperor was stunned at the tiny beauty before him.
-After entering the palace-
”Papa, Mama, everything is so beautiful but why are we here?”
Her inquisitive eyes burned through their hearts as they smiled and said, ”To destroy a person baby. To destroy a person.”
[MOTHER! FATHER! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT SO CALMLY WITH A STRAIGHT FACE!]
She was stunned at their response but didn't show a spec of emotion on her face as she asked, ”Why?”
”My jade you will see. Ow be patient and stop asking questions about this.”
