She was surprised to see a large dark hall
Crystalline Eve von Varis
💭Eve. Just where in the world are you?
Eve wasn't afraid of the dark because she can see as clear as day even at the dark.
She continued walking and walking but she couldn't find a single stair.
Crystalline Eve von Varis

Crystalline Eve von Varis
💭I just need stairs! Why is it so hard to find? 😡
Crystalline Eve von Varis
💭I'm already exhausted😢

Crystalline Eve von Varis

Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
*Remembers his sister advice*
Priestess Eris
Now, brother. Like what I said previously, Eve is weak and and fragile and I mean it.
Priestess Eris
By simply going down the stairs is enough to make her feel like she climbed a mountain.
Priestess Eris
And don't let her get injured, she also can get sick easily.
Priestess Eris
As much as possible have a maid be by her side all the time.
Priestess Eris
It would also be best if you don't make her too emotional because that leafs her to high fevers.
Priestess Eris
Also let her walk around whenever she wants to walk and she can easily get hungry.
Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
That's a lot. 😐
Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
You like this kid too. Don't you.
Priestess Eris
What can I say. She is such a lovable kid.

Crystalline Eve von Varis
Ohh while I was finding the stair, I pass 7 doors then mister found me and we came to your room. 😆
Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
Do you know how many doors you saw on the way here?
Crystalline Eve von Varis
let see..... about 12 doors😯
Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
12!? Why did you walk so far?!
Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
You could have just tell that servant to carry you!
Crystalline Eve von Varis
I-Im sorry....
Crystalline Eve von Varis
I-Its already late...and... O though that mister was on the way to rest when he saw me...
Crystalline Eve von Varis
I didn't want to be a bother, Daddy...
Crystalline Eve von Varis
Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
*sigh*
Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
Duke Orville von Valaris ( Father)
