18. Who(?)
She may be a genius but physically she was only 7, not many things she could do on her own. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
….
That night, it was the Duke who actually helped Aki into his bed.
Yuki just saw the two off at the entrance and went to her own bed, she was dead tired, she needed to be in her safe haven.
Out of habit, she still persisted in taking a bath and reading one chapter on the history of the Empire, but that was it.... She dozed off...
....
Aki who woke up alone rubbed his eyes softly, it was probably the best sleep he has gotten in months...
Maybe it was because he was too exhausted, or maybe he bade farewell to his Fairy-san, or maybe it was purely because he finally had a family of his own and a sister who had promised to be with him that he felt relieved, at last but--
'Yes, Onee-chan? Where is she? ', he didn't care about his attire, at the moment he was too scared of everything that happened yesterday being a dream, call it his bodily constitution of a child and an Omega, he was easy to tears... For once he didn't care about formality and directly asked the first person he met about his sister....
That person was cleaning the staircase and probably new to the household, she probably didn't know that there was also a Young Miss in the family, she had a confused look as she said to young boy who was unusually not calm today, "Young Master, who are you talking about? "
"Who-? ", he paused, he felt a sudden pain in his heart....
Everything was a dream...
He didn't have a family, he also only dreamed about his Onee-chan, the tears that had welled up from earlier fell like a waterfall.
The young maid was so scared that she got onto her knees... She may be new to this household but that didn't mean she had never worked for another family, she knew what was the result of this!
She was trembling, she was so scared that she will be thrown out and much more scared that she will be punished too severely... Just as she was going to apologise, she heard a deep voice, just that was enough to suffocate her as she started cold sweating.
"Aki? What is going on? ", it was the Duke who spoke out in an unhurried tone.
Aki who has been a crying mess, instantly stopped crying, he was an Omega and the Alpha pheromones happened to work the best against them, he may not have tested as an Omega yet, but this was just instinct to him, but the next second, he turned back and saw the mighty man in casual wear and hair down, he looked a bit younger...
But Aki who finally saw his father instantly forgot about his fear and ran towards him with full force, well, as fast as his little legs could take him that is, reaching the man, he directly held his leg, he is real...
This man was his father..... He was very happy, it wasn't a dream...
With his still misty eyes, he looked up, "Papa"... and this instant, when the cold Duke felt the helplessness of this small angel who looked up at him as if he was the only thing he could rely on in this world.... something inside the Duke broke, it seems it was his cold world and hence, the path that the world was fated to take, changed....
But that is something a 'certain' someone will find out many years later when 'he' opens his eyes in 'this' world.
.....
Yuki woke up at her usual time, it was as if she had an inbuilt alarm clock in her head, but she never slept beyond a certain time.
Yuki freshened up and as usual got ready for a run outside, though she could do it on the treadmill inside, she still preferred taking a breath of the natural air outside, it made her feel very calm and she always had a feeling that this was something precious for her...
After her run, she came back to the lounge and drank a glass of fresh juice.
It was time for her sword training, Yuki was still using a wooden sword to practice.
Yuki started practising sword two years ago when she was able to finally run for longer distances and could grip things with stable hands.
Since, then she had changed sword many times, the first one was very light whose weight increased as time passed and now this little girl was holding a sword of weight around 5kg. Her master was too astonished by her growth and also felt a bit ashamed that it was not him who made her into this, he quit a year ago and since then Yuki practised her sword alone.
It was like she had a penchant for this skill, but the sword felt like an extended part of her body and the art came like breathing to her, after practising for 2 years, her handling became an art and it was like she was dancing with a sword, her movements were clean and flair, but the WHOOSING sounds were prove that they were lethal,.... it was like she was cutting through the air...
To tell the truth, Yuki liked swordplay the most and though she wasn't in a hurry, she would definitely like to have a beautiful Excalibur for herself one day, knowing that she wasn't an Alpha didn't stop her from liking these swords, she knew that the Alphas in this empire infused their swords with their magic to fight and even though she was aware that she won't be able to do that, she still couldn't stop...
This time was too precious to her, she felt like this was the only time she could be herself, even she was not aware of the reason why she felt like that? But she could feel that when she practised her skills, she was really true to her self...
