บท 217: Breaking Out Of The Cocoon

After the tour around the mansion and introductions to many people, Charis showcased a sign of exhaustion. I told Verina and Lupina to take my sole daughter to her resting chamber as we parted ways yet again.

"Father…" Charis looked me in the eyes. "The absence of your presence worries me."

Just looking at how adorable and childish she was, it was hard for me to decline her hidden intention to have me watch over her as she put herself into slumber. "Next time, I will be there when you venture into the land of dreams. From the beginning and until your journey start anew~

"But for now, I still have some important matters that I need to attend to."

"I understand…" Charis slightly pouted.

"In the place of your dad, I can watch you over full fourty-eight!" Lupina tried to assure her.

"Lupina will do then," Charis' face easened, accepting the companion of others than myself for her first ever rest since her awakening in this mansion.
