The Villainess Is My Daughter
Caretaker
I realise that I might not die because of war,
But because I haven't found love.
I will fight and kill all my enemies, if need be.
I am amazed that I have at least my daughter
She is both my strength and weakness
Seeing her makes me smile
Makes me want to squish her puffy cheeks or dress her in one of the most beautiful gowns
Makes me want to see her always happy.
But, what will happen, If I die earlier than planned?
Or what will happen if I go to war and she is left alone with just a butler and a few maids, but no parent?
I need to find someone to take care of her
But I don't want to marry anyone so hastily
I might die, but I don't want to leave her alone
Amidst my racing thoughts, I hear slow footsteps
They are slow and I can even hear the sadness in them

(WHO IN THIS DAMNÉD WORLD HURT MY FANGS?!)
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
*turned to her and saw her in tears, making him even madder
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Fangs, who hurt you?
Jade Caldwell
*sniffing and rubbing her nose while looking down on the floor
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
*bent down in front of her, cradling her curly locks
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Dear, what happened?
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Tell your Dad everything
Jade Caldwell
*shaking her head
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Why not, hmm?
Jade Caldwell
...y-you will be angry
Jade Caldwell
I don't want...I don't want you to be angry at...m-me *avoiding his gaze and crying again
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Now, there, there, my little one... *wiping her tears with his thumbs and cupping her face
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Tell Dad everything
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
I won't be angry, I promise
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
...your Mother?
Jade Caldwell
She used to make pancakes for me...
Jade Caldwell
She used to do braids for me
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
(I think I really need to find someone to look after her)
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
(a nanny, maybe?)
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
What If I find you an elder sister who can make pancakes and do braids for you?
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
...i will try to find her for you, okay?
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
(if only I could, Jade.)
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
(I can't bring people back to life)
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
(but since this is a fantasy world, maybe I can)
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Yes, dear, I promise
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
But first, I need someone to take care of you while I am gone
Jade Caldwell
*fisting his clothes possessively
Jade Caldwell
Where will you go?
Jade Caldwell
Will you leave me again?
Jade Caldwell
are, are you dying?
Jade Caldwell
*hands trembling
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Shh...Jade...
Jade Caldwell
Tell me the truth!
Jade Caldwell
I am not a kid!
Jade Caldwell
I am an adult!
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
I might go to war, Jade. I might not be here while I am at work
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
And I can't rely on anyone here to look after you
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
I need to find you a nanny because I am afraid something will happen to you when I am not here
Jade Caldwell
Nothing will happen to me, Dad
Jade Caldwell
No need for anyone else
Jade Caldwell
It will be just you and me and Mom
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
*patted her head, feeling a little concerned
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Okay, dear. Let's see how it all turns out
I agreed to her request, but...
Oh, God...how foolish I was
...I regretted my decision immediately after what happened a few months later.
