Why Are You So Disinterested In Affection?
Chapter 17

In Liana's second life, in the labyrinth.

Viona, Liana's name in her second life. He leaned against the wall of the labyrinth, taking the bottle of drinking water he was carrying.

He wore special clothes made to make the wearer more freely move, also coated with silver-white armor, a sheathed sword on his waist.

"Ck! I ran out of water" Viona turned the empty bottle over, and sure enough, not a single drop of water came out.

Viona stood up, now she inevitably had to go find the source of the spring that was usually in the corner of the labyrinth.

"If only I could use dimensional storage abilities, Argh would! Complaining won't do me any good, after all, why would they send me when Roxana was cleaning the gate?"

Viona started walking away, following the mark she had left behind, it was fortunate that this labyrinth was not the type that would change after some time.

It took some time until Viona finally found a small pond that was the source of the springs in the labyrinth.

Viona drank until her thirst was gone to hold her by hand, then filled the previous empty bottle to the brim.

"When I go back to where I was before, and then continue to explore, I hope I get out of here and eat Roxana's cake" Viona starts to return to where she was before.

Crrt crrt~

"What's that sound?" Viona looked around with wary eyes, she looked back and when she turned around, a pair of fangs and 8 shining eyes were waiting for her.

Viona almost threw away the drinking bottle that was in her grasp then turned around and ran.

"Yahoooo!!! No one said that there were spiders in this labyrinth!!" Viona ran fast.

But then his body pecked as it went through one turn, his body stiff, with cold sweat on his back.

"a-what ... WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" in front of Viona was a huge spider like before, but on top of her body was half a female body that was staring at her.

"D-DAMN IT!!" Viona quickly saved the bottle and pulled out her sword.

"Die!!" Viona decapitated the woman's head, and slashed the spider's body in half.

Seeing that the monster was dead, Viona's legs felt limp, her breath hunting rapidly.

"Huh .. hah .. hah .. gasp! Ugh, please not now" Viona's gaze began to blur, her body limp.

"Oy Viona, no matter what happens when I get home, you have to be fine, or I'm gonna hit you"

Roxana's voice echoed in her mind, Viona was slowly trying to get up, it's okay Viona, this trauma is nothing.

Viona started walking with a teetering step back to where she had been before.

...

"Well! Gasp! Gasp! Ugh-of all the dreams why should dream in that labyrinth?" Liana woke up, she caught her breath and sat herself down.

"N-no, it's better than the dream" Liana began to show her feet to the floor, her eyes were circulated to her father's room, and no one was seen there.

"It's late at night? I missed my dinner .. By the way, that guy doesn't stay up late to work on the files, does he? It could be dangerous if she's sick" Liana put on her slippers.

Starting out of the room, down the hallway in the dimly lit castle.

"Tonight was cold" Liana rubbed her two cold arms.

Sreet sreet sreet

Liana could see inside there was a light source that Liana thought was a light magic.

"It seems, electricity is really in need here, pity also with those who can't use mana" Liana approached the door, she started peeking out from the crack of the door.

He saw the cold face of Aaron was working on the file, accompanied by the assistant whose face was more similar to the undead.

"Aaron, I know you're worried, but don't drown yourself in this pile of paper and drag me down too! I want to sleep okay?" Sean protested, though his hands were still busy with other files.

Black and thick eye bags were visible under Sean's eyes, his hair was slightly disheveled and also his skin was a bit pale.

"Then just go to sleep there, I'll do it myself" Aaron replied indifferently, he was still focused on the pile of paper.

Liana could not bear to see that, her little heart told her to go in and ask the Father to sleep, but her mind told her to just ignore it.

Long debating with his thoughts, Sean unconsciously began to step out and open the door, finding Liana who was still busy arguing with herself.

"Mr Princess? Why are you here?" Sean knelt down right in front of Liana, equalizing his height.

Liana regained her senses, she winked a few times before starting to answer with a smile.

"Ah Uncle Sean, I woke up earlier and intended to go to the restroom, then accidentally saw Dad's work room was still bright, so I stopped here" Liana answered him smoothly.

"That's lucky, you're worried about this sweet princess, it makes anyone jealous" Sean started to get up, he stroked Liana's hair gently.

"Get in and talk to your father, he's working like crazy right now" Sean whispered in Liana's ear, then he smiled, lowered his head and resigned.

Liana just kept quiet as she looked at Sean who started to step away, she looked back at the room, she could see there were faint eye bags under Aaron's eyes.

"Ah, after all, this is only once" Liana knocked on one of the closed doors, her face looking nervous for some reason.

Tok tok tok tok

Aaron turned his gaze from the file towards the door, seeing a little girl in a blue nightgown standing at the door.

Aaron stood up and then walked over to Liana.

"Unfortunately Dad, what's up? Why wake up in the middle of the night?" Aaron lifted Liana in his sling, in his kiss Liana's cheek tenderly.

"I-I woke up from a nightmare, intending to go to the restroom but saw Dad's workspace was still bright, so I'm here, I'm afraid Dad's overworked and ended up sick"

The speech just came out without him wanting, a truly pure remark from his little heart.

Aaron's smile expands, he returns to kiss almost all of Liana's face, he feels that he is the luckiest Dad in the world.

"So Daddy's sweet kid is worried about Dad? Thank you" Liana just kept quiet.

"Ugh-, how could that phrase just come out of my mouth?" liana cursed herself.

Aaron glanced at the stone attached to the wall, it was similar to a clock with an ancient roman numeral, there were three needles with one needle constantly spinning.

"It was past midnight" Aaron went inside with Liana in his carrier, he tidied up some scattered files and closed the ink bottle.

Turning off the light magic, Aaron took Liana to the restroom and lowered her on the doorstep.

Liana looked up, she looked into Aaron's eyes and then went into the restroom and locked him up.

"This can be seen as progress, right?" Aaron has a smile on his face, hoping this fits the contents of his mind.
