Thea moved freely as she wish. She even deliberately avoided other children and hide from them as much as possible after finishing her work.
There were several kids who tried to approach her. She didn't know what their motive was and Thea didn't want to give them a chance to bully her again. She couldn't stop being alert after what happened to her over and over again. Thea also wondered why Ben and the gang had been so quiet these past few days. She always thought they cooked something for her as a surprise attack. And Thea needed to get ready.
As the day passes, Thea and Xander became closer than before.
Actually, it made her felt happy even though there were only the two of them.
"This,"
One day, Xander presented her with a pocket knife. Its shape was not too big nor too small. There was some rust on the handle. But it was still working fine overall.
"What's this?" Thea asked not because she didn't kn

Year 1863 Thea opened her eyes and blinked slowly. She felt something wet on her forehead. It was a small towel. "Thea!" Thea's eyes caught the worried look on Kay's face. "Where am I?" "In my room." Thea tried to sit up. Kay helped lean her back. He took the tea and let Thea take a sip of it slowly. "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" "I have no idea." Kay took her hand and tucked some fine hair behind the ear, then Kay stood up for a bowl with a lid on the table. What he did momentarily made Thea feel strange. "I heard you haven't eaten all day," Kay opened the lid and revealed the contents. "You must eat now." "I'm not hungry," Thea mumbled. "If you don't eat, I'll have to inject you again and take you to the hospital," Kay handed a mouthful porridge and force its way to her. "You injected me?" Thea asked, in disbelief. Thea scanned her arms. T

Year 1853As they came closer, Thea hid herself as deep as possible. She gripped the knife Xander had given her.Since receiving it, she always carried it with her everywhere.The only one who could protect herself is her."Did you see her?"Thea held her breath. Their voices were so close."I saw her heading this way.""Are you sure?""Yes," they talked to each other.But among all those people, she didn't hear Ben's voice.Why would she care if Ben was there or not?

Year 1863Thea laughed."No way...Kay? Are you kidding me?" She turned her face away from him. "Stop your acting. I told you it wasn't funny."One day, after Kate left, Kay had told her that he liked Thea. But Thea just brushed him off. She couldn't believe someone could like her.Kay's hands clenched tightly. His lips were only inches away from hers. He knew he had to stop before it was too late. Kay painstakingly pulled himself up."Sorry, I..." Kay stood up and rubbed his face. "I'd better get out. Please take a rest.""Kay..."Kay had his back to Thea. "If anything goes wrong, I'm in my study," Kay said. He had to get out of there immediately. Kay was afraid he couldn't stop himself.***Thea went silent.She could still feel his breath on her face. Thea couldn't describe how she felt.

Miss Yerez was taken aback. "What happened? Why both of you didn't inform me anything?" "It's late at night and we don't want to disturb your rest, moreover it hasn't happened yet, Miss. Ben and the other kids are planning to do something again to Thea." Miss Yerez sighed. That kid was always causing trouble lately. But she couldn't do anything. She didn't have the heart

Year 1863 Kay leaned against the wall watching the crowd. He purposely hid himself in a corner of the hall. No wonder Harry told him to cover his face. It turned out that the mayor was holding a masquerade banquet for the nobles, politicians and dignitaries there. Kay wasn't interested in these things. For him, there was something more important than just getting together in such an obscure way. Kay was not a party fan. He was forced to give up his intention of leaving there and returned to the hospital. Kay would just come back thinking the same thing. He placed the glass in his hand on a nearby table. He had better join the others too. Just then, someone past in front of Kay, leaving behind a very familiar scent. Kay cursed himself. Even the smallest things were remind him of her.

"W..well, then it will be processed like the previous agreement?" The man stood up and called his Butler. "He will sort things out." After leaving his business to the butler, the man walked away. "Let's finish our business, Ma'am." The butler instructed Miss Yerez to follow him. Xander and Rose looked confuse, but they couldn't hide their joy. "We did," Rose whispered.

Year 1853 Miss Yerez stepped out of the carriage. "I hope your luck will never run out." She thought Thea was lucky to have escaped the massacre. How could a little kid get away from that? It didn't make sense. And no one expected them to take Thea to the orphanage, which was so far away, from the McCollen residence. Luckily the security guards arrived soon, otherwise Thea's fate might have ended tragically too. Thea who had been looking out the window all the way, slowly began to notice a familiar sight. Her heart was beating fast for no reason. She gripped her tattered dress. 'Mother father. I am home!' They arrived at Thea's residence after the sun had passed its peak. The black ruins of the building were only half standing. Thea stopped in front of the gate. The only part that is not affected by any events. Her legs couldn't move.

"Okay, thank you, Sloan." Sloan bowed and instructed the maid to prepare tea and carry it to Blake's office. Thea went straight to Blake without changing her clothes first. She knocked on the door and Blake's voice came from inside telling her to come in. Her decision was not wrong. Because as soon as Thea came in, Blake immediately dropped his instructions and Thea came back out. Sloan and the maid carrying the tea passed her in the hallway. "Young lady, the tea?" "Ah, I'm sorry, but I'll be out again." "Can't you just sit back and enjoy it for a moment? You just got home," Sloan coaxed her. "Sorry, Sloan. Next time.

He ran here and there looking around.“Son of XX!” Lubez didn't stop cursing Odger in his mind. His small body infiltrated the crowd smoothly.
