Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

Chapter 443  Trouble Starting Earlier Than It Should?

The next day I quickly set up everything needed for the barrier and teleportation circles. Auntie Finna was confused by everything that was going on, but after my father explained it to her, she finally understood. But now that all the fields had been blocked off from those who had once leased the land, I am sure the village below was very hectic. Only those who my father deemed friendly were still allowed to use the fields after he set them up on the stone as long as they only sold his crops to the merchants.

 Once again, Wandermere had been split into two villages, and Cyrilia Village once more rose up from the ashes. As for me, I watched on with a small smile on my face. This was back to being a harmonious place once again. But this time, I will protect it from any outside threats.

While I could not make contact with Sophie directly, I have been keeping an eye on her. Sadly I need her to go through the things she once went through before, no matter how heartbreaking it is. Atollie also said this was the only way to make sure her path did not deviate from her previous life. All I could do was heal her wounds and grit my teeth. It is hard, but this is all I can do for now.

I was now seven years old, and I was currently stopping in on my nightly visit to Adel's room. She, as always, was waiting for me patiently. Her smile was as bright as the sun as I landed on the ground. She immediately attached herself to me and pulled me into her room, where she had tea and snacks ready. Ever since I talked with the king, things have been less secretive as now a maid would wait on us until Adel excused her.

As always, I listened to what she had done during the day with a warm smile on my face. This girl who smiled so brightly for me made my whole world become as warm as the sun. But on this night, I planned to stay here until morning. Adel had begged for me to spend the entire night with her so she could wake up and see my face in the morning.

She rolled over and held my hand as she looked up at me with her cute face as she "You asked me to stay the night, so I did. Should I not have?" I asked in confusion.

Adel quickly shook her head. "No, I was just surprised. I am glad you stayed."

said: "Faith, thanks to you, my days have become so much brighter and full of meaning. I have decided that when I am old enough, I will marry you!" Adel's words made me smile as I looked at her. I knew she was only speaking in a childish manner. But this wish of hers was something I do plan to make true when we grow up. I pressed my forehead against hers and nodded my head. "If you wish to marry me when we are older, then I will gladly accept a cute princess like you."

"Hehe!" Adel giggled as she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep. I stared at her for a few minutes before slowly falling asleep myself. When I woke, I woke to Adel's big eyes looking back at me. "You are here…."

"You asked me to stay the night, so I did. Should I not have?" I asked in confusion.

Adel quickly shook her head. "No, I was just surprised. I am glad you stayed."

"Mm… but now you should get ready, or you will be yelled at. Then your father might ban me from visiting you." I said teasingly, but it seemed to light a fire under her butt as she quickly jumped up.

"You are right!" Adel jumped out of bed as I yawned and began getting ready. By the time I was about to leave, she had already been dressed up by her maids. She ran over to me, gave me a hug, and whispered: "I meant what I said. The thing about when we get older…."

Seeing her blushing cheeks as she ran away to hurry to her training made me smile. Only after she was gone did I fly out the window high into the sky. "Little Bell…"

"Hmmm? Faith, you called me?" Little Bell stuck her head out of my chest, which looked quite weird because the area around her head was glowing and squirting around like some kind of liquid.

"Yes, we will go visit your leader. I want to speak with him." I said softly. Little Bell nodded her head and flew out and parched herself on my head. We then flew to the spirit domain. I did not enter from the front but through the sky high above it and landed at the peak where the leader of the spirits was located.

"Hmmm? Child of dragons? Why are you….. Oh?" The spirit leader looked at Little Bell, who was sitting on my head and paused his words. "I see…. Child of dragons, I believe this is not the first time we have met, but I must warn you, tampering with time can result in many bad things."

"I am only trying to protect those I love and this kingdom. As well as you and your kind. I came here today to greet you. In the future, I will be stopping by again with my future wife. I ask of you to give her a blessing at that time." I wanted the spirit leader to grant Adel a spirit that could help protect her when she needed it the most, like how he granted me Little Bell.

"Oh? It will depend if she can attract any spirits. But I am sure with you by her side, your scent will certainly merge into her allowing her to at least get the favor of one. But this is not something I can force." The spirit leader replied.

"I understand. I thank you. I only came to ask you about this. I am sorry for disturbing you." I bowed my head. The spirit leader was someone I deeply respected, as he was a kind being who overlooked this kingdom.

"You are most welcome. In the future, I will see you again…." The spirit leader's words were warm. I smiled and said my goodbyes before returning home. But it seems not every day would be peaceful. Because when I came home, a young fox girl was lying on my bed sound asleep. "Sophie!?"

"Master, when I went to check on her this morning for you, I found the village up in flames. Miss Sophie was the only one who was able to survive. Her parents had her run into the forest. This was all caused by a man with the last name Freedman."
