"Aunt Dong! " A cheerful voice rang out in a garden and in response to the happy tone a slightly cold and annoyed voice rang out.
" What is it! " Bibi Dong said in an annoyed tone as she turned her gaze to the little brat who would come to bother her every day , and this has been happening for 3 years straight.
" Look what we brought you ~ " Rin didn't mind Bibi Dong's annoyed tone as his mom told him that Aunt Dong acted like this because she was shy in showing affection.
He still remembered that one time how worried his Aunt was when Xuer cut herself with a knife while trying to cut an apple.
His Mom told him that his aunt was very happy when they visited her but she just didn't like showing it because of how Prideful she was.
Bibi Dong's gaze moved over from the smiling Rin to her little daughter who was hiding behind him while gazing at her with a hopeful gaze.
Bibi Dong wanted to go over and hug her but her pride and resentment wouldn't allow her to do it.
She gazed at the gift that Rin was holding out in his palm.
It was a wooden comb with crude drawings of 4 people , from the looks of it , it should be Her , Siming and the two kids.
Bibi Dong felt warmth coursing through her chest when she gazed at the simple gift and feeling the little ones hopeful gaze on her, she felt a bit embarrassed.
Bibi quickly snatched the comb from Rin's hands as she turned around hiding the tears that had formed in her eyes.
" Hmph! It's very ugly but I'll keep it for Siming's sake ..." Bibi Dong said in a haughty tone as she stored the comb in her storage tool.
Rin and Renxue smiled as they were a bit aware of Bibi Dong's behaviour.
" Okay~ Bye Aunt Dong ~ " Rin waved with a smile as he left with Renxue who also waved at her mother while whispering in a low tone which was heard by Bibi Dong.
"Bye ... M-Mom " ..

"Alicia ... Do you think there is something wrong with the young lord? Because he doesn't seem to show any signs of awakening his memories, 3 years , wasn't it what that entity claimed it would take ? " Jeanne asked in a slightly worried tone as she gazed at Rin who was playing around with Renxue with a naive and childish smile on his face.
Jeanne's gaze turned to the healer in their group, a woman with a past so tragic that Jeanne couldn't help but wonder how she could smile so kindly and remain compassionate.
Even though she was no longer blind she still wrapped a white cloth around her eyes and only removed them when she was at home.
She had said that her eyes where for her Lord to see....
...
Alicia the person in question gazed at her lord who was playing around like a child his age should do , as her blue eyes under the cloth were filled with infinite worship and devotion.
He had given her a second chance at life , and let her be reborn form the scars and wounds of the past.
She knew her Lord would rid the world of those filthy creatures , that was the promise that was granted to her in exchange for serving her lord.
She was Alicia , but most people just knew her by the moniker of Sword Maiden , one of the strongest adventurers in her region , but it was of no use when she couldn't even protect herself with that strength.
But she was given a chance to make it all right and she had taken that chance without looking back.
She was reborn anew , and this only made her worship of her lord grow stronger.
"I had checked the lord's body with my appraisal magic and there isn't anything unusual..... He is perfectly healthy... We should just wait , there is no need to rush because in the end our job is only to protect and care for our lord " Alicia said with a gentle smile as she gazed at Rin who was playing around.
"I guess you are right , and it's better this way since we could spoil him for some more
time ~" Jeanne said with a smile making Alicia laugh a bit in amusement.
...
"Young Lord it's time to take a bath ~ " Alicia said with a doting tone as she picked a shy Rin up.
"Alicia , I am a b-big boy now! I can bath on my own " Rin said in embarrassed tone making Alicia pause for a moment before she turned her her gaze towards Rin as her blue eyes gazed at him sadly.
"Does Young Lord not want to take a bath with Alicia anymore?" Alicia asked sadly making Rin panicked.
"N-No! Ofcourse I want to , B-But I just want to be a big boy and protect all of you " Rin said in an embarrassed tone as he hid his face in Alicia's chest.
Alicia who heard Rin's answer giggled in amusement , as her eyes couldn't help but get intense with love and worship.
' Ah~ Little Lord , You are going to make Alicia even more devoted to you ~ ' Alicia sighed inside her mind as she kissed Rin on top of his head before taking him to the bathroom to take a bath together.
"Then Alicia will wait for my dear Little Lord to grow up and protect her ~ " ....
