The Lawrence Family Rescue

CHAPTERS 14. My Little Princess

Kinggg!!!

A proper sword swing hit the target. It's not as perfect as dad, but at least I managed to hit the target.

"Good Aurel!" Shouted dad in a proud tone.

"Are you okay? Is anyone hurt or sick?" Connect dad's worried.

" No dad, Aurel's fine." Answer me with breath.

After breathing for a while, I was finally able to breathe normally. Dad taught me a lot of techniques today. No time passed long enough, the day started late in the afternoon.

"Aurel, we've had enough practice here before." Speak softly.

"Good dad." I said while wiping the sweat.

Dad took me out of the training room to our horse-drawn carriage. I can see from the glass window the ceiling has been reddened, the sunlight began to set. Along the way I remembered the things that my father said before, until I unconsciously fell asleep.

“Good sleep Aurel.” The words my father heard before I fell asleep.

“Good sleep Aurel.” I said as I watched the girl in my arms fall asleep.

The girl I never cared about before, now became one of the things I wanted to protect the most. “You should grow well, Aurel. I promise to take care of you.”

On the way home my mind flew, recalling every single thing this girl did. This body that is so small, why should you try so hard to become strong? Aurel, you have a lot of things you don't understand. You look just like your mother.

“Honey, you want tea?” Said the woman with the hair loose in front of me.

“Bby.” I answered with eyes that could not move from him.

The wind that day was quite strong, the familiar girl was standing in front of the balcony. The long unraveled hair was blown away by the wind, making it look so beautiful. The two eyes that were able to pull me into his world and without being able to refute I loved him.

After so many things I've been through, the fact is that I'm unable to resist her destiny and her decisions. The world hates me so much, I have to lose the woman I just had.

“We can't save both.” Said the old woman with the white hair.

“Then, how?” Ask with a face of fear and worry.

“You must lose one.” Reply to the old woman with a sad tone.

Audrey heard the conversation back then. “Please save my son.” Said Audrey in a limp tone.

“Darling, please don't talk that way! You two will survive.” My answer is trying to convince.

“Louis, don't try to lie to me. Please save my baby, she is everything.” Audrey's reply left me speechless.

That day, it was as if my whole world was destroyed. I lost the woman I loved the most. I thought you would accompany me forever, but why are you so selfish Audrey? You broke my heart, how can I keep this child alone? Half of me is with you.

Three days passed, the sky was so dark. I saw the tomb in front of me, never thought I would lose her so soon. The woman whose smile has always adorned my day can now only be seen in my memory.

“Oeeeeee.... Oeeee.” Such a soft voice from the baby in my arms.

“I cannot promise to love this baby, in my heart now I hate this child for losing you.” My welcome is upset.

At that time I could not control my emotions. My tears flowed, revealing how broken I was that day.

With a broken heart, I stared at the baby in my arms. “Aurel, forgive me for hating you in the future.”

“I'm sorry dad, Aurel. I can't get through everything.” I said with disappointment.

Get me to love my son this is the cause of my beloved wife's death. Maybe I'll be the worst dad ever. But I can't lie to this feeling. Losing Audrey was the biggest blow of my life. My days came back bleak, like before I met him.

Until that day comes, it changes everything. Little things I've missed over the years.

"Dad worked all day, Aurel made cookies and tea for dad." Aurel smiled.

"Ohh since when did my little daughter start caring about me." I answered smiling cynically.

This was probably the first time we interacted. I never spoke up even questioning his condition to anyone. You are big enough, my son.

I stood up, moved from my seat. Leaving all the important documents I had to finish and sitting on the long sofa in front of the desk. "It seems like this guy wants to try a princess-made pastry that's very considerate of him."

After that, I started to find out about him. What's he doing today? Is there anything new he's trying? What's his favorite thing? Is all the money I gave her enough?

A pass as time went by, our closeness began to show. Not only did it manage to take my heart, but it also took my heart. The stiff man who had never been close to any grandchildren.The father was a very unapproachable person, there were many things wrong in his eyes. But it was only natural that if Aurel managed to win the heart of the head of the Lawrence family, Aurel had charisma, strength, intelligence and kindness that children his age rarely had.

To this day, I am still amazed by this little girl. How could he understand everything so quickly? Even if I was his age, it would take a long time.

“Dad....have we arrived?” Aurel said in a soft tone.

“A minute, be patient yaa.” I said with a warm tone.

Aurel rubbed his eyes several times, now his gaze was fixed on the window nearby. “Daddy tonight is so quiet isn't it?” Say it with your eyes focused towards the window.

“Iyaa. true.” Answer me with a gentle smile.

The dew on the window glass managed to take his attention away from the silence of the night. “Daddy, it looks like tonight is pretty cold.” He said with an adorable tone.

“Iyaaa, then from that.” My words lifted Aurel away from the window glass. “Wear your coat.” My welcome while helping Aurel put on her pink coat.

“Since when did Aurel bring a coat, dad?” Tanya was confused as not feeling like she was carrying this coat.

“Ishana left it on the bodyguard, she was very worried about you.” I replied with a small smile as I was anxious to see Aurel with his pink coat.

Shortly after, our train stopped. “Master, we have arrived.” Said one of the guards from outside the car.

“Good.” I answered, then carried my little daughter down from the carriage.

The carriage door opened, and an old man in a dark black coat appeared before me. “Aurel, grandpa misses you.” The head of the Lawrence family said to his favorite grandson.

“Kakek...” Aurel answered so passionately.

“How was your day, Aurel? Is it fun?” Ask dad to her.

From Aurel's face looks how much fun it is today. “That's great grandfather, Aurel was taught many things by father.”

“Ohh really?” Ask my dad curious

“Louis, meet me after delivering Aurel to his room.” Whisper my father, whom I reply with a nod.

“Because it is quite night, Aurel should return to the room yes.Ishana will deliver soup to you.” Tell my father to his favorite grandson.

“Good grandpa.” Aurel answered cheerfully.
