Chapter 6: It’s him?
The moment they stepped out of the carriage, someone was there to escort the Marquess away by using the Emperor's name. Although he knew he wouldn't be there to oversee the playdate, he didn't appreciate being separated the moment they set foot into the palace.
"Look after your sister well."
Aaron nodded vigorously. He was all set to protect his little sister. He didn't know what he was protecting her from but he was determined to make sure she stayed safe.
Around Adeline stood 3 knights, they carefully escorted her to the Empress's palace.
"Ow!"
Before she realised it, she was on the ground, falling straight on her butt. "Linny!" Aaron immediately helped her up. She realised someone had run into her. He quite literally ran out of a bush from the side, no one saw him coming.
Right in front of her was a young boy about the same age as Aaron. The first thing she noticed was his striking red hair, it was just like fire. His amber eyes were full of tears. Quickly after getting up he wiped them away and bowed, "I apologise."
"Master!"
Just like how Aaron accompanied Adeline, a nanny accompanied him. She helped him dust himself off and apologised, "I'm sorry."
