Why Are You So Disinterested In Affection?
Chapter 08

Like father like daughter

Never heard this phrase? Or do you usually hear like father like son? Yeah, that sounds foreign.

(A/n: okay, I started rummaging early in the morning, I can't sleep because someone now, wants to kill him but it's a heinous thing, just ignore this sentence)

After the incident this morning, the day had begun to turn noon, Liana was in the room of the Emperor at this time, his father, held him and did not allow him to come out on the grounds that he was not really healthy.

Liana became a room prisoner now, fortunately in the room there were two large bookshelves with various books.

Liana remembered the Emperor who loved to read books in her spare time, she felt that they bore a resemblance in many ways, such as hobbies .. Forget it, what did she just think?

Liana went up to the shelf, looked at the various books there, picked up random books that she could have reached.

The book with the blue cover in its hand now, looked like it was new, but the yellow paper in the book told him that it was old enough.

The emperor was really good at keeping something that he had huh.. unless he was, ah, forget it.

Liana carried the book and sat down on the chair available in the room, right in front of the table used for breakfast earlier.

Putting the book on the table, Liana stroked the cover of the book with white ornaments there, Liana started to open the cover of the book, revealing the title of the book written in bold.

'The History of the Establishment of the Empire of Dragonaid, the Lost Empire' Liana raised next to her eyebrows, the name of the Empire listed seemed foreign to her.

One page re-opened, revealing a hand-written foreword that looked neat and beautiful, it seemed like it was written using magic, Liana thought.

After reading the preface, Liana turned the page back, at first she read with a sudden laziness, before a line of sentences made her gasp.

A mythical war that not many people know about.

Liana started to read seriously, her forehead even shrinking deeper and deeper each time she completed a single page.

... Humans were in extinction when the mythical war broke out, before someone claiming to be a god descended and gave a blessing.

Liana blinked, a single word flashed across her mind, 'where' and that was it. He began to think of the origin humans could use mana, then magic.

Living three lives, making Liana's view has a different view than most people.

At first he did not think about how humans could use mana, or when humans could sense where and when humans began to use mana.

He just thought it happened naturally without any interference, yet now it was indisputable.

Liana started to place her index finger and thumb on her chin, starting to think of something.

Putting aside her thoughts for a moment, Liana refocused herself on reading the book, in fact it was not only written in the language used in this Empire.

However there were some languages that Liana believed were ancient languages, strangely she could read them without any significant difficulty.

The mythical war began to subside, bringing peace to the world. It did not last long, the pseudo peace slowly faded, some people with blessings began to make a mess ...

Look dejavu, huh? Liana began to refocus her mind, the more she read, the more thoughts entered her head.

An era full of chaos began, an era that is referred to as the era of darkness by people. Crimes everywhere, p*mbun*han, became commonplace in this era.

Liana's mind began to wander, she was reminded of her second life, in retrospect, when p*mbun*han became commonplace, especially in the dungeon.

A child crawled out from within the mud puddle of that dark era, he dragged a rusty sword, his gaze looking full of pain and deep grudges.

Liana suddenly felt that she was reading a plot from a cliche story she used to meet in her second life, which was usually written in novels or films.

Carrying a rusty sword and a feeling of vengeance, he began to get rid of people with blessings that wreaked havoc, helping people without blessings.

By relying only on that rusty sword, without the help of blessings possessed by the people, he managed to make a pseudo peace back in the world. This, is the beginning of which body ...

Crimson Liana's red-eye bead instantly sparkled brightly, at first it was just mentioned which heart was a blessing from a god, and then came the mana body.

The history of the origin of mana, mana heart, and mana body is still a mystery of the world to this day. Crimson Liana's red-eye beads shone, the whirling of the wind started to sound inside the room.

A swirling wind slipped through the open window of the room, something red could be seen jumping from below towards the window.

Kyuu kyuang? [Liana? What the hell is going on?]

Ah, it turned out to be Felix, he looked at Liana whose bead eyes still shone with curiosity, as if Liana would gain enlightenment and break through a completely different level of knowledge.

As if not hearing Felix's words, Liana began to close her eyes, Felix saw that and waited patiently.

Syung~

As the wind grew louder, Liana's body slowly lifted and floated a few centi in the air, then she slowly descended.

Liana re-opened her eyes, the twinkle in her eyes looked different, it looked clearer and more radiant.

Kyuu kyu kyuuang [Happy Liana!! You really did get enlightenment]

Felix walked up to Liana, she rubbed her head on Liana's lower dress.

Kyuu kyuu [By the way, you fit this dress]

Felix believes, in the future, Liana will be the target of the men, look, Liana is only 7 years old now, and already exudes a unique charm that no child her age has.

Liana damaged her hair slowly, her face becoming clumsy for a while.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm more comfortable with wearing trousers" Liana patted her fluffy skirt, she again sat herself on the chair.

Kyuu kyuu? [What are you reading? Lianna?]

Felix jumped on the table, he peered at the contents of the book curiously, Liana started to turn the page after finishing reading a sheet of pages.

Under the eyes of the people, the boy was later raised to become an Emperor, building the first Empire as well as the strongest Empire in the continent's history.

The name of the boy, as well as the first Emperor of the Dragonaid Empire, as well as the person who could be considered a hero was ... David Leonardo Adelle's.

Jde!

As if struck by lightning during the day, Liana stared after reading the name, this is not just a coincidence, right? That name, just like the name of a person in his second life.

Liana could clearly remember it, it was the name of her foster father or the person who took care of her in the second life. But where possible, maybe this is just a coincidence, Liana denied.

He looked towards the book that turned out he had already reached the last page, he closed the book, contemplating something that just suddenly crossed his mind.

Liana suddenly stood up and returned the book to where it was before, she looked out the window of the Emperor's room.

"Hei Felix" Liana called without turning her head, her gaze still glued out the window, Felix turned his head, looking at the uncharacteristic Liana. Maybe the after effects of fever, thought Felix.

Kyuu kyuang? [What's up, Liana?]

Liana turned her head, she then approached Felix back, she looked at Felix intensely. Felix who was looked at like that was nervous inexplicably.

"Let's sneak out of the castle quietly and go to the market, you should come along" Liana then turned her head around.

Felix who heard that had a look of disbelief, he thought Liana had something in her brain, it turned out to be just this.

Kyuu kyu kyuuang [I think what's up, all right, but are you sure to sneak away with this dress?]

Liana turned to Felix, then looked at the dark blue dress she was wearing.

"I can use magic, a week ago I accidentally learned this formula, and I tried it" Liana explained.

Kyuu kyuu? [Ha? Wait, what? When did you learn it? As far as I know it's a formula that seems simple but is actually complicated, and you said you accidentally learned it?]

Liana scratched her right cheek which was indeed itching with a finger, she then smiled awkwardly.

Kyuu kyuang [Of course, you have always surprised me, then come]

Liana nodded, she closed her eyes then took a breath for a moment. His mouth started muttering foreign-sounding words, his fingertips glowing.

The clothes Liana was wearing instantly changed, before she was wearing a dark blue dress, and now she was wearing a dark blue outfit that looked like a shirt.

With black trousers, then Liana took a hair tie that appeared out of nowhere. Bind it until it forms a roll.

He extended his hand to the side, and his hand looked like it had pierced through space with a pattern of surging water ripples, ah, that was the dimensional space formula he had learned earlier.

With her hands she pulled out, revealing a robe with a black hood, Liana hooked the cloak hook, then looked at Felix.

"Let's go, don't forget to turn into a cat, I know that Ay-I mean the Emperor already knows your shape" Liana stroked Felix's head, she wore her hood.

Immediately, his dark blue hair turned a deep red color, with his crimson-red bead turned into gold.

Kyuu kyuang [Good]

Felix's body shape began to change to be like a cat, the color of his fur does not change much, but has a little black in some parts.

Felix jumped on Liana's shoulder, Liana smiled slightly at Felix's appearance, during these four years, Felix has also developed a lot.

Then Liana darted away from the room, leaving behind a trail of black shadows that flashed.

...

Miaw~ [It's been a long time since we've been out, hasn't it Viona?]

Liana nodded in response to Felix's words, she looked at the crowd in the market.

Miaw~ [What are we going to do now?]

Liana, under the pseudonym Viona, stared around until her gaze fell onto a food stand.

Liana went over to the stand, in disguise, her height had increased by 3 centi, and she looked like a 9-year-old now.

"Uncle, please one skewer of meat" Liana looked at the seller who was busy turning the satay on his grill so as not to get charred.

"Well sweet girl, one meat satay is coming soon" the uncle looked excited.

Liana started to reach into the small pouch on her shirt, taking out 5 pieces of bronze coins.

Waiting for a while, Lina got her meat satay and paid for it.

"Thank you Uncle" then Liana waltzed away from there, Liana sat on the park bench near the market, she ate her meat satay deliciously.

"Felix, you want to?" Liana offered her meat satay, Felix looked with an interested gaze, earlier when he smelled the fragrant aroma of spices, he so wanted to taste it.

Although Felix is a metal-eating creature, he can eat like most other beasts, who are usually tempted by delicious-looking human food.

Liana took out a piece of meat on the skewer and gave it to Felix, Liana's hands seemed to glow dimly and came back clean.

One last cut, then he threw the skewer into the trash.

Miaw~ [Where are we going now, Viona?]

Liana seemed to think for a moment, her initial intention was just to go out of the palace and play around for a while.

But he had already arrived outside the palace which was very rare for him to have this kind of opportunity, it was a pity to go straight back to the palace.

"Let's go around to the small eastern town for a bit, somehow I have a good feeling if I go there" Liana started to step her foot, Felix jumped back onto Liana's shoulder.

Liana looked relaxed, even though there were many Emperor eyes everywhere, after all, those people did not know her face, if she was discovered later, she would just need to learn the face-changing formula.

A small town in the east that has vast grasslands, the small town is often dubbed as Greenland because of the vast grasslands that outweigh the size of the city.

Plus, on the other side of the meadow, there is a small forest that borders it with a beach.

It was seen children running on the sidewalks of city streets, occasionally horse-drawn carriages passing through the stone path.

Liana enjoyed the beauty of the small town that had a medieval feel, she smiled small.

His feet continued down the streets, until he arrived at the outskirts of the city, the atmosphere there seemed quiet with a gentle wind blowing.

Liana closed her eyes inhaling the scent of wet grass, she looked up at the blue sky with clouds.

Felix jumped down from Liana's shoulder, he set his foot on the grass then rolled unconditionally there.

Liana smiled looking at Felix's behavior, she lifted Felix's body and went further into the middle of the meadow.

From afar, he saw a large tree standing in the middle of the meadow, Liana walked there, and leaned her body against the big tree trunk.

Miaw~ [Viona, here is very fresh]

Liana stroked Felix's head, she then laid herself under the tree still wearing a hood, staring at the beautiful blue-stretched sky.

"You can play for a while Felix, don't go too far" Felix who heard that nodded happily, he started walking away from Liana. It's time to explore, Felix's inner.

As the sun started to rise, Liana fell asleep for some time there, when she opened her eyes, the time showed daylight.

Liana immediately got up from the fall, she sat leaning back for a moment on the tree trunk, she had already asked Felix to come back, it was time for them to return to the palace.

As she was waiting, Liana could feel an unusual mana fluctuation nearby.

Liana stood up, she stepped her feet curiously, this fluctuation of mana was clearly not happening naturally.

In Liana's view, she saw a young boy of the male sex who was about 10 years old swinging his sword in the middle of the Grassland all by himself.

His black hair with a blue gradation at the end of his hair was seen waving in the wind, his bead was blue as clear as a sharp-looking crystal.

Liana was mesmerized by the movement made by the child in swinging her sword, it looked so smooth and gentle, yet sharp and deadly at the same time.

It was a move that was usually possessed by a person who had already trained swords for 5 decades or had a lot of life and death experience on the battlefield.

Then Liana's gaze turned to the boy's face, for some reason she was again blown away, her heart racing. He could feel his cheeks heating up.

"What the fuck? Why does it feel so hot?" Liana fanned her face with her hands, her gaze still fixed on the boy.

Before she sensed the killing intent, something darted about to hit her, Liana leapt back three meters.

He met face to face with crystal clear blue eyes before, if viewed up close, it looked more and more dazzling.

"Liana's? can't you fall in love? No-no, do not let you fall for a child who is not your age, but .. I am still a child"

Liana again sparred with her inner self, she started to waver now.

Miaws! [Vienna?! You!!]

Felix suddenly appeared and lunged towards the boy, his face looking very fierce now.

The child protects his face with his hands and covers it.

"Felix, I'm fine" Liana felt sorry for the boy who was hit by Felix's rampage, she took Felix's small body and held him down.

"Felix, don't be like that, it's not polite you know" Liana gave Felix a small piece of advice.

Miaw! [But he started first!!]

Felix thrashed in Liana's arms, completely ignored by the child and a cat in front of him, the boy opened his mouth and began to speak.

"Who are you? Why were you peeping at me practicing earlier?" her voice sounded cold, Liana turned her head towards the child.

"Ah, sorry about that, actually I accidentally felt which fluctuations were unusual, I didn't peek at you, and hi, my name is Viona, what's your name?" Liana stretched out her hand.

A sweet smile was imprinted on Liana's face, the boy in front of her looked stunned for a moment, he returned the handshake and introduced himself.

"So, sorry for attacking you earlier, introduce my name ...."
