Why Are You So Disinterested In Affection?
Chapter 11

The squirrel looks to have teary eyes as if wanting to cry, Liana looks at it and feels funny in her heart.

[Ah really, if only I could help Rafaela, you wouldn't be lonely .. That's okay! Your uncle will take care of you from now on!]

The squirrel's excited voice rang out loud in Liana's head.

Liana grimaced a little, oh come on, she even felt dizzy from the squirrel's loud voice in her head.

[By the way, son, what's your name? Introduce your great Uncle and take care of you from now on named Leonel!]

The squirrel–Leonel introduced himself, he patted his chest proudly.

A wide, sweet smile immediately fell on Liana's face.

"Uhm! Please introduce my name Liana!! So, may I call Uncle with Uncle El's call?" Liana tilted her head.

Leonel seemed to have a happy face in his tupa form, he then jumped into the air and he floated right in front of Liana's face.

[Yes! You can call Uncle like that!]

Seeing how excited Leonel was, Felix only had cute eyes, Liana was really smart at taking people's hearts.

"[Yes, that's good Liana, and after this even unknowingly this squirrel will be taken advantage of by Liana]"

Felix turned around, and he looked around intently, trying to recall the place he had read in the description in a book.

"Paradise Land of Dragonaid" Liana's chirp suddenly made Felix startled, he turned his body as fast as light and looked at Liana with his round eyes.

[Really! The name of this place is Paradise Land of Dragonaid!! One of the shrines of the Empire of Dragonaid, a lost empire. How do you know this, son?]

Leonel was still hovering near Liana, in fact he did not like this form, but because he hibernated for too long, making some of his strength disappear.

Felix was also waiting for the answer to what Liana would bring out, he approached and then jumped on Liana's shoulder.

Oh before about which one surrounded him, it was all gone along with the warmth that filled his body.

"What's with your curious faces? I found out from reading the book in Ay-I mean Emperor's room, there are several books that tell about the Empire of Dragonaid" explained Liana.

Felix sees Liana cutely and mustard to Liana's explanation, he feels funny because Liana is somehow embarrassed to call the Emperor by the word father.

While Leonel was seen nodding his head, he then looked at the large tree in the middle of the room.

[Let's follow Me, there's something your mother left me to give you]

Leonel drifted away from the lead, Liana followed behind, she occasionally jumped avoiding Roshan Vines below him.

Liana could see more clearly the big tree, there was a thin gold-colored mana that enveloped the tree, she looked up and looked towards the light source, which turned out to be from a glass.

It seemed as if the glass was pointing straight out somehow, Liana looked down at the tree roots, there was a small stream that looked very clear.

In addition, Liana could see a jewel-like sparkle in that water.

[You're really talented, son, you can even see the water content and the nature, it looks like you inherited all your mother's talents]

Leonel pointed his small hand at a small hole in the tree, he was seen closing his eyes for a moment, as Leonel re-opened his eyes, his round gold-colored eyes shining.

The branches and twigs of the tree moved in a slow but smooth and gentle motion, the leaves on the branches and stalks trembled, something rolled from behind the leaves.

Leonel caught something rolling it, he then checked if it was the right item or not.

A small pouch made of burlap was seen in Leonel's hand, he opened the pouch and looked into it.

[Take it, this is all for you, oh yes, you can take some Roshan Vines, but remember to stay at the limit, we don't want them to go extinct do we?]

Leonel throws the bag and is captured by Liana.

Liana opened the bag, as soon as her eyes were round, she stared at the bag and Leonel took turns.

[What's up, son? It's not the wrong item, it's really yours, at least for now it's one of your mother's relics]

One of!? Liana was more wide-eyed, if this much was one, then what about the whole item?!

"Actually, who's Mom?" Liana opened her mouth, she looked at Leonel who was also staring at her.

The question that Leonel had been waiting for finally sounded too, he made a pose as if he was propping up his chin.

[Well, it doesn't seem like it's time yet. Wait until you start entering the academy, and this Uncle of yours will tell you]

Liana bent her lips down, she snorted and threw away her face.

Leonel chuckled, Liana is so adorable, even more adorable than Rafaela at the same age.

"[Ah, Aaron, you're very lucky]"

A small space was visible there, Leonel went inside, before long he came back out with some items floating nearby.

[This, take it, these are all Uncle's gifts to you as a form of greeting. Use it well okay?]

Liana turned her head, there were several dozen larger Roshan Vines than she had picked up on the way here, there were also hundreds of glass bottles filled with water.

Some colorful flower stalks with a unique crown shape, there is also a large sword that is seen sheathed on a sword sheath made of black cowhide.

"Woah, that's a lot. Is Uncle sure you gave this to me?" Liana asked as if she could not believe it.

[Of course, take it. By the way, the sword is one of Uncle's collections]

Leonel again puffed his chest with pride, floating in the air, Liana was astonished, she had a hunch that the real form of Leonel was not this.

Felix who felt neglected opened his voice, but soon, shock approached him and Liana.

[Is there no gift for me?]

At first Felix only intended to joke, now he can talk like a human.

"[Wait! I broke through?! Since when?!]"

Liana had a look of disbelief and delight, she then grabbed Felix's body and clenched him tightly.

"Yahoooo!! Finally Felix, my beloved partner broke through!!" Liana rubbed her cheek on Felix's small head.

Leonel just smiled seeing that, he quietly prepared a small amerald green gemstone behind his small body.

[Ekhem, I'm sorry to interrupt your excitement, but I'm sure Aaron is currently looking for you frantically Liana]

Liana regained her senses, she then placed Felix on the floor, and she quickly collected the item that Leonel had given her, which was still floating.

"Thank you, Uncle! I left first" Liana said frantically, then disappeared from there, leaving behind a black shadow.

Felix and Leonel fell silent in disbelief, feeling absurd with Liana's behavior.

[Has he always been like this, son Felix?]

Felix still felt awkward, he nodded faintly and then looked towards the Leonel who was slowly descending.

[Y-yes, he's like that sometimes]

Silent, no other conversation was heard, Felix felt awkward and intended to go after Liana, before Leonel's voice stopped him.

[Before we get out of here, take this, it'll help you to be strong, that way, you'll be able to protect Liana, well, even if I've had enough, but more people are better]

Leonel gave a green gemstone, the gemstone was round with a diameter of 3 cm only.

Felix rounded his eyes when he found out what it was.

[It ... Are you sure you want to give it to me?]

Leonel simply nodded, he gave it to Felix, and was received with a slight sense of unease by Felix.

[Please help him in the future, son Felix]

Leonel started drifting away, he intended to get out of there. Felix was silent, he looked at the gemstone for a moment before then swallowing it whole.

[Yes, please help him in the future, sir. Leonel]

...

"God, baby, where have you been? Don't you know how worried Dad is?" Aaron hugged Liana's small body tightly, his face looking puffy.

"Ugh, please don't hug me too tightly, Damn Emperor" Inner Liana who was back in nature as before, cussed on Aaron easily.

"Dad .. tightness" Liana banged on Aaron's back.

Aaron loosened his embrace, he buried his face in Liana's little shoulder.

"Ah, I hope this isn't all just a charade she's making" Liana hugged Aaron back.

Aaron felt sweet in the corner of his heart, Liana was acting awkward and a little cold to him since the first time she met, she stroked the back of Liana's head.

Leonel looked at it from above, he saw how sincere Aaron's affection for Liana was.

"[Well I hope you can take it Liana]"

Leonel then goes to Felix who is lost because he lives.

Felix, you're so poor.
