Chapter 189 Loneliness and being alone
After the one and only Lord Furball showed interest in someone after so many years, as it was wished by the founder who brought this creature here, the little guy had its own freedom and no one could do anything to it.
If it wants to go, it can go at any time and if it wants to come back, it can come back to this home anytime it wants.
The current Lord of Cromwell had a will written by the founding lord about this and after Mr. Bald informed him about what had happened here, he came running to see the creature with his own eyes.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Even an old person like him had not seen this being in all these years he had been in this city.
It was a big day for him actually since his grandfather used to tell him stories about this special creature and how he longed to see it at least once before passing away.
For the Cromwells, this creature was more special than Any of them had expected.
Lord Andrew was impressed once again and was confused how unique things were happening around these people and around the people around them.
"What are we going to do about the gift?"
As the current lord of Cromwell, he found it his honor to see the creature finally find someone that he could go out with.
Instead of protesting against this, he thanked them for giving him such honor, and since he did that before all the employees of the sanctuary, there were going to be rumors and talks about it soon…
And, all of it was going to be highlighted with the grand event that was only a night away from the City of Kalp.
"I have an idea, but I think we should prepare two gifts."
"Hmm? Why so."
Misha named the little furball [Kivi] a name that contradicted its physical appearance, but it was a cute name.
And given by a little girl that also fell in love with its cuteness, the lazy bird also smiled at the name before it fell asleep on her red head.
Seeing it sleep was a sight to behold for the people around them, however, this was an amazing opportunity that Elio didn't miss and Clicked a photo of this special little furball.
There weren't many of them like this one, so even a photo of a new one on the various communities would create a great commotion.
And, as someone who genuinely loved these creatures, he was going to use this opportunity to do everything to spread the cuteness of this amazing being.
"So, the thing is, the gift I'm planning is a little personal.
It wouldn't really represent all of us, and I want to give it to her myself."
After all the drama, they were back to their inn, on their bed, fully rested, fully prepared for the Birthday of the city lord's daughter.
"Hmm? Is it because of her condition?"
And, like always, Alex knew what Elio was after with only the look he had in his pretty green eyes.
"Yeah… how sad must she feel, you know? Having a power that you can only feel and not use, a body that restricts you from using the very gift that you're born with, an incurable condition that couldn't be fixed even if they wanted to."
After all of that, Elio at least knew one thing: Just like how happy Misha was after getting the first friend of her own that only belonged to her, Lady Eve was lonely without any friends that she could play with.
As a noble, gathering and all were a formality for her.
He knew how she must have been with many other friends and made friends among various circles, within her own house.
It wasn't like she was alone. Just like Misha, she had people that she could be happy with even in the absence of her special powers.
"She and Misha aren't that different if we look at it from this angle, right?"
Misha only had her mom and Lady Eve had her mom and dad that look after her.
However, only her mom is with her most of the time with her dad being busy with a lot of things.
She has people that she can be around, but just like how Misha couldn't be with someone for long because of her constant travels, Lady Ana only has a few people that she had been around for as long as she might remember.
They were a family more than they were a friend at that point, and with her being able to perceive spirits, there must have been a lot of instances where she might have had the urge to talk with them, call them to her house and play with them.
She was even younger than Misha so the chances that she had longed for companionship was pretty high.
And, Elio understood that.
"Since we can't give Her Az, shouldn't we at least give her something that will help her in some way, instead of just something that will make her feel even more lonely?"
Elio knew how it felt to be lonely even with many people around you. The strange feeling of alienation, that you don't belong to somewhere even though it is the only place you have known for your entire life. Your next chapter is on empire
The distinction between loneliness and having the company of people that we have known for the most part of our lives… It's thin for those who don't understand it, and thick for those who have lived through something similar.
"Hmmm…"
Elio had been through something similar, and Alex had been through something exactly opposite of it.
So, she understood it as well.
"Well, then what do you want to do?"
The gift that he was thinking for her, was something pretty personal, but for the gift that they would give from their side, he only had a few ideas.
"The ideal thing to give would be something or someone like Az."
But that wasn't going to be possible-.
"Sure then. Let's give her something like Az."
He knew it.
He had a hunch but, now that he was seeing that smirk on her face, he knew he was going to see or experience something extremely extraordinary.
