Where is my wife going

" Kid, do you have a place to return to, do you have a home ? "

" Home….I never had something like that "

Dillon and Dheeran looked at each other 

" Alright, you can stay with us "

"...."

" Dheeran, are you sure ? "

Dillon whispered 

" I am the Duke, the mansion needs more people, it's too empty "

" sigh….alright "

" Kid….your not going to try and kill yourself again are you ? "

" There is someone who needs to die before me "

dead eyes but determination could be seen in them 

" I will not stay at your home for free, I will work as your solder "

" My what….?" 

" Kid I admire your determination but working in the military is no easy job, the Duke allowed you to stay in his mansion without having to work "

" I can do it, there should be a test of some sort for people to be able to join right ? I am going to take the test "

" Kid….that's not…."

" Alright "

" Duke what are you doing ? "

" She said she can do it, let's see " 

" sigh…."

" When can you take the test ? "

" Right now "

" Right what ? "

" I am going to take it right now "

" Alright "

***

" What the hell, how does a kid know so much about the military? Her strategies are on another level "

" How old are you ? "

" 14 "

" What the hell "

" You passed the first round, but you still have to take the physical exam in order to enter "

" I know "

" Alright, let's go "

***

" Duke you can't be seriously asking us to fight a kid…."

" One of you has to " 

" Who is going to willingly choose to fight against her ? "

" If you are not going to choose then let her choose herself "

" sigh….fine "

" Alright kid, go ahead and choose your opponent "

" Who is the strongest among them ? "

they all though she asked in order to not pick him 

" The captain, that guy "

" Then I'll choose him "

they all thought the kid was just optimistic however the moment the fight started in a matter of seconds Nephthys got behind him and was holding a dagger against his neck 

everybody was shocked at her speed 

" Looks like I have underestimate you "

the captain remarked 

" Underestimating your opponent will only get you killed faster "

and Nephthys didn't fail to comment back 

" I admit you are fast but are you strong ? "

" Why don't you find out for yourself "

" Duke I would like to ask for a second duel "

the captain informed 

" Very well "

This time the captain intended to land the first attack but before he could even touch her he was swallowed by the ground only his head could be seen 

" You are about to judge for yourself if I am strong enough "

right after those words the captain was pushed up from the ground and before his feet could land, Nephthys punched him in the stomach pushing him into the nearest wall knocking him down, after she finished with the captain she slowly raised her hands a little bit higher into the air and every single solder started floating 

" Wha ... .What is going on ? "

then with another swift motion of her hands they were all paralyzed unable to move, while they were panicked in the air Nephthys turned around to face the Duke 

" There are various ways I could kill them right now "

" Alright, alright. Now please let them down, you see I still need them "

Nephthys gently put them back down 

" Close your mouth Dillon you look very unprofessional right now "

" What the hell just happened ? "

Dillon just like everybody else was shocked 

***

years went by and the three of them became inseparable, Dillon and Dheeran never saw her as an employee but as family and they would get worried every time she put herself in danger, Nephthys was well aware of that fact but she couldn't bring herself to show them just how much she cared for them as well for she knew she would soon die and didn't want to make it harder for them nevertheless she was thankful to them for showing her another face of the world, a face she didn't know, they showed her that the world also has good people, people who would love her genuinely. When she first came to this mansion never did she think that this was going to become her home. For the very first time she had a place to call home and that's all thanks to these two idiots 

***

" So what did you see ? "

Avner was back and the emperor was dying to know what he saw

" Looks like she cares about you more than you think, for her this was her home. For the very first time she had a place to call home and that was all thanks to you "

" I knew she was just acting cold….sniff….I knew deep down she also genuinely cared " 

the emperor couldn't hold his tears back and started crying 

even though it was a happy memory Avner seem to be lost in thought 

" Did you know ? "

" Sniff, know what ? "

" That she was dying "

" Yes…."

Avner knew something was wrong but never did he thought of this 

***

They were now at the last location 

" Looks like I wasn't the only one to leave an impact on her "

They were at the Daeris mansion, seeing that Avner didn't know how to feel about it. It made him feel so many emotions at once that he didn't know witch emotion was leading 

***

" You've grown a lot from the last time I saw you. How long has it been ? 10 years maybe….you were so young and yet you were fighting in a war….a child should enjoy its childhood not fight for stupid adults "

" It is nice seeing you too, Duke Daeris "

" Did the emperor send you to work again….sigh….he has no heart…you know if you don't want to work for him anymore you are welcomed to come and live here, I will give you little work so you can enjoy your youth more, of course the pay will be still enough to please you "

" I appreciate the thought but I have come with another proposal for you my lord "

" And what would that be ? "

" I would like the Daeris house to form an alliance with the emperor "
