Chapter 285: Another Kidnapping
Dora skipped alongside Uncle Robert, her innocent chatter filling the air as they moved through the garden. "Uncle Robert, do you think Daddy has a surprise for me? Dora asked, her eyes shining with anticipation.
Robert managed a weak smile, unsure of how to respond and answered, "Well, Princess Dora, your father will explain everything when we see him."
As they walked through the halls of the grand gardens, Robert grew increasingly uneasy, glancing around as if expecting someone to appear. He could feel himself sweating and was wary of even the smallest sound. This was his last mission. Once Dora had been delivered to Alpin, he’d take the first flight out of Estania. He patted his pocket, making sure his documents were still safe. He would be gone from here in a few hours.
Dora, oblivious to his tension, continued chatting happily. "I hope Daddy isn’t upset with me. I’ve been a good girl, and I’ve been training Kitten and Gaia really well! I’ve also been studying diligently and my grades have improved."
He spotted the car in the distance and heaved a sigh of relief. A few more steps and he would be free. Absentmindedly, he looked behind him and suddenly felt a shiver of fear. The little puppy was following them. Dam* it! The dog could be dangerous, after all it had been gifted by that Demon Frost... He needed to get rid of the dog.
Stopping abruptly, he turned back and tries to shoo the dog away. Dora too had turned around due to the sudden pause and was surprised to see her little dog following her. Delighted by the dog’s antics, she beckoned the dog close and called out," Come here, kitten! You’re so naughty to follow me like this!"
As the little dog came closer, Dora clapped her hands," Do you want to come with us to Daddy’s office? Uncle Robert? Let’s take kitten too. She won’t be naughty and daddy won’t mind."
Robert shook his head and tried to explain," No princess Dora, we cannot take the dog there. Ask her to go away."
"But uncle," Even as Dora tried to argue with the man, the dog positioned itself closely to her master, taking a protective stance. Irritated with the child and the dog who were creating trouble for him, Robert delivered a swift kick to the dog, causing the little creature to be thrown a distance away and mewl in shock and pain.
Dora gasped, her eyes wide with shock as she ran to her little dog, "No! You can’t hurt Kitten!" Tears welled up in Dora’s eyes as she scolded Uncle Robert. "You’re a bad man! I’m not going with you! I’ll tell Daddy everything and then he will punish you."
Before she could get to her dog, Robert had grabbed her by the collar," Princess, I’ll apologize to you. I made a mistake but we are getting late. I’ll send the servants to bring him to the hospital. Come with me quickly please."
