Sam and I followed her father away from the Dining Hall . ( I wonder what he wants to talk about . ) I thought as we went down the corridors . There were windows everywhere making it brighter and warmer . I looked outside as I walked feeling the warmth on my face . (It seems to be summer outside . . . I wonder what it's like out there . ) I thought . (I haven't been outside since I came to this world . I wonder if it's similar to the world I left . ) I continued to look . There was a courtyard as large as a football field . It was filled with a labyrinth of bushes covered in white flowers on one side and the other was open and airy . (So beautiful) was all I could think . " Ignis! Stop daydreaming! Come on!" Sam called out to me .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntI reluctantly followed her back into to the dark hallways . As I followed them I realised that it was starting to get colder . I turned slightly as a pair of icy claws swung past my head . ( That d.a.m.ned bird! I swung my head around and caught it by the leg and flinched it back . the bird was thrown a descent distance leaving a little frost on my maw which quickly melted . The bird was laying there stunned by what I'd just done . I walked over and put a clawed foot on its chest and hissed right in front of its face to let it know I was higher on the food chain . Then I let it go . I continued walking only to find the stunned looks of Sam and her Father who had been watching the whole time .

"That lizard is not as simple as it seems . Most beasts wouldn't dare go close to my eagle, let alone fight it . Speaking of which" He turned his head . " Malphus! How long are you planning on Laying there!?" he called . The bird did an awkward roll and stood . It shook itself then flew the rest of the way down the hall to land on Sam's shoulder . I hissed at it and it hid behind her head on the other shoulder . Sam laughed at it . " You got scolded by a little lizard and come to me to mope . You are definitely my father's bird! Hahaha!" I huffed ( little lizard my a.s.s . I should've eaten the dumb bird . ) I thought as I walked past her and into the room they were in front of .

As I walked in I noticed ma.s.sive book shelves lined the walls . They filled the walls from floor to ceiling and were full of books . The room must have been 15 feet tall by 40 feet wide, and at least 60 feet long . it was filled with the smell of ink and paper . The smell I loved when I was human . I can't describe the nostalgia I felt . It almost brought a tear to my eye to see so many books . (Shame I probably can't read them . ) I thought sadly . I felt a small breeza pa.s.s me as Lord Carnac pa.s.sed me to get to his desk . " You're probably wondering why I wanted to talk to you right after the events we just suffered . . . Am I right daughter?" He sat down and knit his fingers together looking very intently at us both .

" Yes I very much do . Who would want to take my life?" she paused . " It wasn't just an attack on you . It was an attack on Ignis and myself" this was prepared specifically so We would die from this . Who would profit from this?!" her voice got slightly louder closer to the end as she spoke . She sounded frustrated and alarmed . And even more so . . . . scared .

" My daughter . There's not much I can tell you . But what I can tell you is that this herb is not cheap . In the history of its use only n.o.bles have ever had possession of it . And even fewer among n.o.bles who can get there hands on it . I know that being a barons daughter has not been easy . But is there anyone who could possibly be targeting you?"

" I don't know . " She said

"It could be anyone then . Until we know who this person is we will have to keep a close eye on you both to keep you safe . I know any damage you get is transferred to him . But if he sustains enough a little bit hits you too . I just want you to be safe and sound . And I hope the day comes when we find the traitorous fool who dared try this stunt . " He calmly put his hands down and grabbed a paper from a ma.s.sive stack next to him . " Until then I still have my people to look after . I'm sorry . I'll have the head chef make you something since Neither of you were able to eat the poisoned food . " He rung a bell . An elderly butler came in and he handed him a note and said something quickly . The butler nodded and hurried off . " Now . I love you . But I have work . Best go fill your stomaches . Go . Shoo . " He waved in a funny fas.h.i.+on .
