Ice melting

I left William and went home. His car was a bit far from the village so he didn't draw attention.

When I opened the door I heard William talking animatedly with Catherine.

Her hair is tied in two ponytails while she sits on the chair and swings her feet. She made a sweet smile and her cheeks were full.

"Then Bunny came to Pinky and saved them from the Big Wolf."

Catherine's expressions changed from panicked to happy and she was eager to interact with Elizabeth in every word she said.

I smiled and stood at the door.

"Eli seems to be having fun without me"

As soon as my voice flowed, her eyes filled with stars and she turned her head to me. The pure Amethyst glistened and she quickly jumped, running with her little feet.

"My sister"

I bent over to hold her when she arrived and laughed, clinging to my neck.

"I'm so jealous, I've never heard this story before."

Elizabeth nodded and replied in a childish voice.

"That's because it's an episode that was shown today."

"hmmm, shouldn't I hear this story first and then Catherine hears it! Do you prefer it to me now?'"

She gasped, put her little hands on her heart and hurried to hug me. Her expression was sullen and regretful.

"Oh no, I love my sister.... I'll be careful next time."

Umm very nice. She buried my face with her neck and inhaled her pleasant scent before I move and sit down on the chair next to Catherine.

I noticed that her eyes were looking at me and she seemed a little worried. I smiled and talked quietly while Elizabeth sat on my lap.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"I can't help but do it, you went with the king of monsters, what happened!"

Uh, Catherine recognized him as soon as she saw him. Shame I didn't recognize him either.

I felt really stupid... He had a clear aura of dominance, how I didn't know....

I sighed, watching Elizabeth's wide eyes look at me curiously. When it comes to me, she's really curious.

She smiled, patted her head and then put her down.

"eli, go play outside, I need to talk to Catherine."

Can't I hear that?""

Her thick eyelashes fluttered innocently and I could only bend over and kiss her plump cheek. Oh so sweet What am I doing to you.

"Yes, it's a big topic."

She laughed at my kiss and shook her head obediently before going to play outside.

"Then.. ؟"

Catherine also seemed curious. I sighed and told her about kwiky and the king of monsters.

Since the glow only makes a 'kwik' sound, I decided to call it kwiky.

Catherine blinked in amazement, her eyes confused and wide.

Will you live with him?""

I nodded and propped my elbow on the table while idly resting my head on my hands.

"ailice knows that smelling your pheromones will detect that you are who..."

I raised my eyebrows and listened quietly, then shook my head thoughtfully.

"I know."

She sighed and pinched between her eyes.

"I know we're good at hiding the pheromone smell, but he's still the king of the monsters. And his dominance is very strong and makes him sensitive and he can sense the least amount of pheromone. if he detects you, you may be in danger."

I was worried about that too, but his manner of dealing shows that he doesn't know and I wasn't exposed. Although I focused my eyes on his eyes in an attempt to read his thoughts, his expressions are complex and unreadable.

In this world we were ranked for three. Monsters, animals and humans.

Monsters have very strong pheromones. So much so that I can smell a lot of smells during the mating season, since they use it to attract the attention of the opposite sex and express their desires.

As for the animals, their pheromone is dim and monsters often cannot smell it. Animals use the pheromone for the same purpose, in addition, they use it to signal danger and call for support.

Monsters can also do this, but they are very strong and have a high pride, so if any of the monsters use his pheromone to bring support, his dignity will fall to rock bottom.

As for humans, they have nothing, just ordinary people with whom we mix to hide their smells and coexist with them. Since they have their own natural scents too, but nothing distinguishes them.

I sighed and rubbed my head.

"I don't think he doubted anything."

Catherine closed her eyes and had nothing to do, no one could disobey the master's orders.

"I can't help you, be careful and make sure you hide Elizabeth's scent too."

She hummed and shut up a little before looking at me and asking me cautiously.

"About the date of your death..."

I calmly fixed my eyes on the table and calmly replied.

"Hmmm, three months."

"He's getting closer."

"Yeah, what about you?""

She rubbed her neck and smiled awkwardly, she seemed worried about me and feels bad to say how much she has left since I'm going to die soon.

"20 years"

My eyes shone with happiness and I looked at her, my heart almost fluttered...She held her hands and screamed with delight.

"And that's great. you'll live long."

She shook her head and didn't say shed was frowning. Usually no one discusses the date of his death except with relatives. I already told Catherine earlier but she didn't tell me.

She smiled and squeezed her hands.

"Don't be sad about me, I'm fine."

"But..."

She was silent for a while, then sighed and gave me a nod, after which she asked me while staring out the window and looking at Elizabeth playing outside

"What about her?""

I turned my head and stared at her bright expression, the only person I'm worried about when I die.

"I don't know that she doesn't tell me, but since she's so sad and scared to be alone without me, I'm sure she has a long time."

Catherine then sighed and stood rubbing her neck.

"I have to go look for a job. I was fired right after you went."

"Why?""

I stood up impulsively and looked at her with a frown. She shouldn't have been fired as she wasn't late what's wrong with this psycho.

She smiled helplessly and talked to me.

"After the departure of the master or the king it does not matter. The owner thought he came for you after you caused trouble, so I was fired because I'm your friend and I'm definitely going to bring trouble to the restaurant."

"Terrible"

I whispered in a low voice and couldn't find what to say. He fired her because of me, too.

I closed my eyes and lowered my head reproachfully.

"I'm sorry, it's because of me."

She watched me for a while and then laughed and hit my head.

"I'm fine, don't worry, take care of Elizabeth too."

She hummed and she went outside, squeezed Elizabeth and kissed her, and then left.

I watched the emptiness in which she disappeared and also went out of the House.

"Elizabeth, come on, I want to talk to you."

She stopped playing with the dust and came running up to me with a wide smile. Her hands were dirty and so were her clothes

Maybe I should shower her while we're talking.

I caught her and entered the house before taking her to the bathroom, took off her clothes and put her in the tub, which I filled with warm water and bubbles with a pleasant smell.

"Elizabeth, we're going to live with a friend for a while."

Her eyelashes dangled and her little hands played with bubbles and she asked me in her sweet childish voice.

"Is he good?""

Well, I don't really know. But just imagining that he is the king of monsters and being called The King also makes me feel terrified and anxious.

I didn't ارد make Elizabeth worry and she hummed while I bathed her.

"Yes, he is good and kind."

Her lips rose in a smile and she looked happy.

"So Elizabeth won't be alone at home anymore."

I was relieved that she didn't suspect anything and didn't mind either.

She has always been obedient and does not ask much even if she is very curious.

"Yes."

Huh my sugar is making me die. My eyes narrowed and my heart felt full and aching.... I don't really want to die, but there is no escape.

After finishing the bath, I dried her hair and changed her clothes, after which I squatted down, explain and concentrate in words.

"Elizabeth, hide the smell of your pheromones and be careful not to lift your hair off your forehead"

She looked at my serious expression and quickly knitted her eyebrows and flashed her eyes with Childish seriousness. She raised her hand touching her bangs and covered her forehead well.

"I won't let anyone see her and I'll hide my smell."

She smiled and held her hand before I pulled her to me. She's still small and not good at controlling yet. And I always smelled her, even though she was hiding it.

So I always have to help her... She understood what I was going to do, and she turned her back on me, showing the back of her neck.

The smell was very intense there and some have been suppressed.

I smiled and lowered my head before biting her and suppressing her scent with her body.

"hmm".

Soon a small purple dot mark appeared on her skin .

It doesn't last long, so the seal should be renewed after ٢٤ an hour.

I'm very worried, if you stay away from her for more than ٢٤ an hour, Her Smell will spread and the monsters will find her.

I'll be careful and I hope I don't have to leave it, but if I have to, I'll put it at Catherine's since any adult can suppress the baby's smell.

I sighed to lift my head from her neck and her body fell into my embrace. She looked very weak and her legs were trembling.

The tingling point at the back of the neck where the pheromones meet is very sensitive.

For a child, it makes his energy decrease, but at puberty the characteristics will change, and as soon as you touch it, you will plunge into a trance and a good surreal feeling. The entire body also goes into a state of numbness.

I sighed and picked her up, put her to bed and rest while I collect our things. We didn't have a lot of clothes and one bag was enough for both of us.

After I finished Elizabeth was plunged into a deep sleep. I picked her up and took the bag to leave the House.

I took the time to get to William's car and felt exhausted.

I carried Elizabeth and the bag. I feel like I'm dying.

I sweated a lot and approached the gasping car.

William was standing staring at me and did nothing. I frowned and put my bag down.

"William helped me a little"

Where is your chivalry? how to let a female suffer His eyes drooped and his gaze was very practical and devoid of any emotion. Sometimes it feels automatic.

He quietly moved from his position and came to take my bag and put it in the trunk of the car. She smiled contentedly and put Elizabeth to sleep in the back.

She was lying down and her forehead hair was scattered. I quickly organized it and covered it well, then I closed the door and rode in front.

Meanwhile, William also got in and silently moved his car. The road is very boring and I yawned several times.

I would glance at William from time to time and he didn't show any interest.

After a long time he opened his lips and spoke a little vaguely.

" you're not human.. Right?'

'...!!!!!!?"
