Chapter 412: A beautiful end
"My lovely princess, Aveline! This isn’t how you should trouble your father. Where are you hiding? Come out!" Magnus called out, his gaze sweeping over the garden as he searched for his mischievous daughter.
Aveline, the daughter of Magnus and Alora, was no ordinary child. At just one year old, she had the appearance of a four-year-old, growing at an extraordinary rate.
But it wasn’t just her rapid growth that set her apart—Aveline had awakened a remarkable and rare ability only a month ago. She could hypnotize people with nothing more than a stare.
However, there was one curious exception: her mother, Alora, seemed immune to her power, the only one unaffected.
Everyone else, however, fell under Aveline’s spell with ease, and no one discovered her gift until the day she accidentally hypnotized her grandfather, King Esmond.
One look into her eyes, and the mighty king spent the entire day playing with her, entirely under her influence.
When he finally broke free from the trance, it became clear to everyone just how unique Aveline’s abilities were.
Magnus went after a tree, but Aveline had already changed her location. She is such a fast runner. Hiding behind a tree opposite to where Magnus was standing Aveline was giggling lightly.
Magnus’s ears heard that and finally he caught his daughter.
"But Father, I was only in the garden! I thought you would catch me since you’re so strong," Aveline pouted, her lips forming a perfect little curve of frustration.
Magnus chuckled, his large hand brushing a stray curl from her face. "I want my brother to grow up faster," Aveline added with a slight whine, her small hands gripping his tunic. "He’s still such a tiny baby. Aunt Scarlet said he’ll grow up quick once he turns two or three, but do I really have to wait that long, Father? Even Aunt Venus’s, Aunt Lillian’s and Aunt Selvina’s babies are still so young. I want someone my age to play with!" Her voice took on a pleading tone, and she kicked her legs in his arms in a playful protest, her pout deepening.
