My Seductive Childhood Villain
Chapter 2 - Introductions
That very day, the documents were signed and a sizable donation was given to the orphanage.
Manager
T-Thank you, My Lord... your visit has been a blessing!
Derek Johnson
Yet again, do not address his Lordship directly.
Derek Johnson
And that copious amount should be be enough to keep your mouth shut about her abilities.
Derek Johnson
If we hear even a whisper...
Manager
I-I understand! Thank you for your patronage.
It was like he was treating this like he was shopping for tableware.
The man with the white hair knelt down beside me and gave me a charming smile.
Derek Johnson
Hello there. My name is Derek. I'm the Duke's personal guard, not that he needs it.
Emma Blake
I know! Daddy looks really strong! He doesn't need a guard!
A little bit of pride swelled in the Duke's chest before he walked out towards the carriage.
Derek Johnson
Come with me. Do you want me to hold your hand?
Emma Blake
Thank you for asking, Sir Derek.
I trotted towards the door, my small legs having trouble keeping my little body upwards.
As I went to take another step, the clumsiness that came with my age set in and I tripped and fell onto the ground.
Derek Johnson
Oh no! My Lady! Are you alright?
Half expecting me to cry, he was surprised when I got back up.
Emma Blake
I'm okay! I'm okay!
I rubbed my sore nose, fighting my tear-filling eyes.
Seems like this body feels more pain than an adult one too. Must... resist... the... urge... to... cry...
Suddenly, I felt a pair of strong arms scoop me up, my little body flying high into the sky.
Had I been bird-napped by a large hawk?
Suddenly, I smelt the scent of pine wood and rosemary before I found myself in the Duke's arms.
Duke Blake
You are clumsy. You'll just fall again if you keep walking like that.
As the door opened and he stepped out of the orphanage, his eyes found mine.
Instead of crying like a child my age should, I simply smiled.
Emma Blake
Thank you for taking me away, Daddy!
Derek Johnson
*thinking* Poor child... I really want to tell her to be careful on how to address His Grace but...
Derek Johnson
*thinking* She's just so adorable... I can't shatter her dreams.
As the Duke jumped into the carriage, setting my small body onto the seat in front of him, Derek closed the door before setting off.
Emma Blake
What's your title, Daddy?
I want to get to know my new Daddy.
Emma Blake
I heard the manager call you Duke. Is that your name?
He looked down at me before answering my question.
Duke Blake
My title is Duke Tiberias Blake II.
Emma Blake
Well, my name is Emma! I'm glad that I finally got to meet you, Daddy!
The Duke kept his arms and legs crossed while he leaned back on the carriage, his eyes not leaving me.
Does this man want to kill me? No, he wouldn't have gone through the trouble of adopting me.
So what does he want? If glares could kill, I'd already be dead.
