chapter-618
"I-If you promise never to sell me off to some old man, I will…." Kana said softly, her words greatly shocking the couple.
"Who would dare!?" Lysarith yelled out. She was angered just by the thought of someone selling a poor young girl like this. She cupped Kana's cheeks and looked it directly in the eye. "I promise you that you will live a life like any other little girl. I will protect you from all the bad things in the world." After saying this, Lysairth pulled Kana into a hug.
Kana's eyes began to water up. The warmth of the woman hugging her really broke down her defenses as she began to cry. The man smiled warmly at the scene as he watched his wife hug his new daughter.
Lysairth picked Kana up and held her in her arms. She frowned when she felt how light Kana was and decided she was going to fatten this child up so she would be too heavy to carry in the future.
Kana blushed and felt self conscious as she knew she did not smell good and was very dirty, but the warm smile on Lysaith's face showed just how much she did not care about her current state of cleanliness. Kana sneaked a peek at Lysairth and realized this woman was very pretty. She had long black hair and a face that could make any movie star feel jealous. But she had an air of nobility about her as if she was someone of high status. "Am I pretty?" Lysairth asked, feeling amused by Kana's sneaky stare.Kana blushed but nodded her head before lowering it. She felt embarrassed for being caught. She could only mumble her response. "Very pretty."
"I am sure you will grow up to be just as pretty!" Lysairth said with a big smile and carried Kana down the street in her arms, not caring about the strange looks she was getting from other people. She decided she would bring Kana home and raise her well and treat her as her own blood.
The car the couple owned was something that one could not buy without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was custom made and was built with every safety option available, from bullet proof windows to thick carbon fiber body. It was a vehicle that could withstand a direct hit from a rocket. Of course, Kana had no idea about all of this. She had never been in a car before, so she was a little nervous. Standing outside the car was a man in a black suit with sunglasses. He looked at the couple and bowed his head politely. "Madam, Master..."
"Baldswin, this here is our new daughter. Her name is Kana, Kana Williams from now on." The man who was now going to be Kana's new father, Pepelt Williams, explained.
Baldswin raised a brow in surprise. He looked at the little girl, who looked like a little boy, and saw that she was covered in dirt and even smelt somewhat awful. But his expression never changed. Instead, he bowed his head and respectfully said: "Young Miss, if you ever need anything, please ask."
"Baldswin, your face is scary, so don't look at my daughter!" Lysairth chided before helping Kana into the car. She placed Kana right on her lap and fastened the both of them into the seat with the seat belt. Baldswin rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He probably did seem scary to the little girl.
Kana felt nervous being in a car for the first time, so when the car started, she subconsciously held onto Lysairth. Seeing this, both Pepelt and Lysairth smiled. It took twenty minutes to get to the house. When they stepped out of the car, Kana was struck dumb at the massive house in front of her. Standing outside the door were two young girls around sixteen years of age dressed in maid uniforms. "Madam, Master, Young Miss, welcome home."Hearing the word home caused Kana's eyes to begin watering up again. But she also felt a bit of relief. She had taken a gamble in deciding to trust the strangers who stopped to talk with her. Seeing the expensive house, she felt maybe these people really meant her no harm. Kids her age were usually kidnapped and auctioned off. In this day and age, human trafficking was a big industry as the days and nights were filled with with world corruption, everyone looked the other way. So far, she had been lucky to even get to her current age without being sold off.
"Oh! Kiliffia, Ceilie quick come take Little Kana up stares and get her washed up. She will be the new young miss of the house, so be kind to her." After saying this, she turned to Kana and said: "Kiliffia and Ceilie work for us. They will now be your personal maids."
Kana looked at the two young girls curiously. She wondered how they would treat her. Although she was dirty and looked like a boy with her short hair, her eyes were big and innocent. With just one look, the two girls were consumed by her cuteness! "Madam, don't worry, we will take very good care of her!" Kiliffia said while hitting her chest with her fist to show her resolve.
"Yes, yes, this cute thing really deserves to be pampered!" Ceilie nodded in agreement. Before Kana even knew what was going on, she was whisked away by the two girls.
Lysairth smiled as she saw her new daughter being taken upstairs. Pepelt reached out and grabbed her hand. "It seems our home will be lively once again."
Lysairth turned and looked at her husband nodding her head. "Mmmm… In a way, I am glad I'm no longer able to get pregnant. Otherwise we would never have thought to go out today and Kana would be stuck out in the cold, sold off, or something worse. I am glad we saw her and picked her up. I just hope our future together will be a wondrous one."
