Chapter Thirteen Mother's Command

"Although I am called the 'little fox' by them, I have always done this if I believe it!" Odosia, who had met, said before she said that she had also suspected herself, and Justinian said angrily.

Listening to Justinian's complaint, the princess who had been taciturn before could not help but smile. Although the boy had made so many earth-shaking actions, he was still a little childish after all. It was precisely this that made Odosia's attitude towards Justinian greatly. From the previous suspicion and distrust to now being like a friend, it was precisely because of this.

"No matter what, I should thank you! At least I can feel that you are different from them. And the only thing I care about now is whether this child can grow up in a happy environment." Princess Odosia, who was slightly sad, looked at Justinian and said seriously. Although she once wanted to completely get rid of her original life, Justinian, who had exposed Leosgros' conspiracy, was her best choice. At least this young man had never used their ideas, and Odosia now had only one wish, that is, Little Helena could thrive.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Princess! I promise you that no one will take advantage of yours again." Justinian also swore to the princess in front of him seriously, without any fraud. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind Justinian. It turned out that Arslan and the others came to find him with the guards.

Seeing Justinian's serious statement, Odosia didn't know how to answer for a moment. Finally, those who were looking for Justinian came to let her change the previous topic and said, "It seems that your people have something important to find you!"

"What else can be done? It's just that the nobles are complaining again. It seems that it's difficult to be quiet!" Justinian, who was angry, curled his lips, so he bowed to Princess Odosia in front of him and turned around. Then, the guards who found Justinian hurriedly came forward. After the triumphal slogan, there was no trace, which made Justinian's men panic. Seeing Justinian safe here, he breathed a sigh of relief. Justinian also exchanged a few greetings with his subordinates and went straight back home.

Looking at Justinian's back as he left, Odosia's face also had a hint of complexity. After experiencing everything before, she no longer wanted to trust anyone, but just wanted to guard her daughter - can she really believe Justinian unconditionally? Asking herself in her heart, Odosia had no real answer. But with curious eyes on the side, little Helena, who was holding her mother's skirt, kept hiding behind and finally stuck her head out, looked at the uncle's departure back, and then looked at her mother, observing all this ignorantly, but she didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, the young little girl pulled the corner of her mother's clothes and asked, "Mom, I don't like this uncle at all!"

"Why?" Odosia asked subconsciously when she was surprised by her daughter's reaction. Then she realized that the lively and cheerful little Helena never took the initiative to talk to Justinian from beginning to end, and remembered that her daughter's eyes secretly peeked at Justinian were clearly manifested in the children's clear love and hate.

Little Helena looked at the current with a stubborn look and said stutteringly: "Because it was him who drove his father away! It was this uncle who appeared and his father disappeared!"

Looking at the little crying voice, muttering his little mouth and saying this, Odosia, who froze for a moment, was speechless. The father Helena mentioned was of course not Emperor Muzfius but Leosgros. In order to avoid hurting her daughter's young heart, Odosia deliberately lied to her daughter and said that her father would not come back for a while. However, Helena, who had always been precocious, still noticed that the fuse of the family was Justinian, an uninvited guest who appeared in Fort Wiscarri.

Odosia, who felt a little distressed, suddenly hugged her always well-behaved daughter, but no matter how much she loved her, she could not tell the truth.

Pinching Helena's little face and wiping away the tears of grievance with her fingers, Odosia seriously told her daughter: "Helena, you must remember that your mother will always love you. But if one day I am gone, you must believe in Uncle Justinian. He is the only person in the world who can protect you. Don't forget! Promise your mother, okay!"

Looking at his ignorant daughter, Odosia finally made the decision to say this, but this was too profound for a child. Although Helena did not understand what her mother said, she finally nodded.

Seeing his daughter nodding and agreeing, Odosia immediately put away her heavy expression to prevent it from affecting her children. So she smiled gently and picked her up in her arms, saying, "Okay, Helena is the most obedient. Since she agreed to her mother's request, I will reward you! What do you want to eat today?"

"I want to eat fish!"

"Okay, we'll let the kitchen do it as soon as we get home!"

"I want to eat what you made by mom!"

"Okay, no problem. I will listen to you all the requirements today, little princess!"

The mother and daughter, who were regaining laughter, walked on the path to face the setting sunset, and everything seemed to return to the tranquility of the past. However, neither Odosia nor Justinian knew that a terrible disaster was about to be brought about soon, and now they have been pressing forward step by step.
