“Liu Yue, let me introduce you . ”

It took a long time before Ling Yue finally calmed down . She wiped her eyes that were red from crying . She held my hand and led me over to Liu Yue, who was hiding in Leah’s embrace and adamantly refused to come over . She pulled me down . Somewhat concerned, Liu Yue tightly hugged Ling Yue and wiped her mom’s tears with her tiny hands . Liu Yue flashed her teeth at me; she was trying to protect her mom .

I smiled bitterly . I was Liu Yue’s father, yet she had no feelings for me and was, in fact, afraid of me . Where in the world is there a daughter who’s afraid of her father? It was my fault, admittedly . I was never there for my daughter . She didn’t have any awareness back then, so it was only normal that she didn’t remember me . Therefore, I had to be her father more often at her side henceforward .

Ling Yue caressed her daughter’s ears with a smile . Ling Yue then giggled and whispered in her ear, “Liu Yue, he really is your father . He really is . When you were born, you were just a tiny fox . He was there, holding you at the time . Haven’t you always wanted to see your daddy? He is your daddy, your father, Troy Galadriel Rosvenor . ”

Liu Yue looked at me doubtfully . I crouched down and revealed a gentle smile . I really wanted to tightly hold her in my arms . However, I was afraid I’d scare her . I carefully reached my hands out . With a chuckle, I said, “Long-time no see, Liu Yue . I haven’t been by your side in a long time . Do you miss Daddy? Daddy hasn’t been with you in a long time . The last time Daddy saw you was when Mommy just gave birth to you . You were so tiny back then and couldn’t yet open your eyes . ”

After hearing what her mom said, Liu Yue didn’t look so scared and hostile anymore . Nevertheless, she was still distrustful . She probably relaxed, since she didn’t sense any animosity from me . Ling Yue gave her a push to tell her to come to me . Liu Yue circled around me, scanning me for anything suspicious and then returned to her mom’s embrace . She exclaimed, “He’s not my Daddy! He’s not my daddy! He doesn’t have a tail or ears!”

Ling Yue looked at Liu Yue with a dumbfounded look, “Pftthahaha . ”

I, too, hopelessly laughed . Ling Yue was right . I, indeed, didn’t have a tail or ears, but I, without a doubt, was her father . Ling Yue laughed while looking at Liu Yue . She softly explained, “Of course, your father doesn’t have a tail or ears . Your father is a half-elf; he’s not from the Moon Fox Tribe as we are, but look, Honey . ”

Ling Yue gently swept up Liu Yue’s hair . The gradient black and red was the perfect combination of Ling Yue and my genes . She went on with a smile, “Look at your hair, Honey . See? This black hair and your eyes are from your father, Honey . See?”

Ling Yue kept her gaze on her . She gave Liu Yue a kiss on the cheeks then smiled: “Honey, he is your father . He’s the gentlest, kindest and strongest person Mommy has ever met . He really loves you . He just had business to attend to . Your Daddy will always be by your side from now…”

“While I can’t always be with you, if you want to see me, you can come and see me whenever you like . Also, I promise to visit you both every month, as long as I’m not busy . ”

Liu Yue wasn’t convinced . She wagged her tail behind her back and forth . Though her angry expression identically resembled her mother’s, I could see that she was starting to feel convinced . The tail never lies, after all .

I looked at Liu Yue with a smile . In a seemingly angry tone, she responded, “Do you know how much my Mommy and I missed you at home? I missed you very much, too… Why didn’t you come back? Why weren’t you at home with me and Mommy? We want to be with you… I wanted to see you…”

After asking me a few questions, Liu Yue began to tear up . She wiped her tears while continuing to sob . She cried in front of me . My daughter cried in front of her father . A father can’t accept that . Most importantly, I was the one who made her suffer .

I had no idea how Liu Yue grew so mature in a short month, but I knew I wasn’t by her side when she was growing up . I weakly extended my hand out . The guilt and regret almost robbed me of all my energy I wanted to hug her with .

Liu Yue didn’t make me suffer . She threw herself at me and tightly hugged me . She buried her head in my chest and wept out loud . Her warmth went from my chest to my heart and then to my entire body . I blankly wrapped my arms around her . The warmth almost brought me to tears . I began to worry that I’d hurt her .

Liu Yue was the most precious treasure in the world to me . She was as important as her mom was, so I couldn’t be rough with her! I had to treat her gently, protect her and give her the entirety of my North . I prepared all of it for my children . They should enjoy what others couldn’t . They should enjoy the bliss and beauty that others couldn’t .

Liu Yue leaned into my embrace and tightly gripped my chest . She softly pleaded, “Don’t leave again… Daddy… Don’t leave again… I want to see the place where you live… I want to know more about you . I want to see you more . I want to know more about you… Because you are my Daddy…”

I looked back at my daughter and replied in a soft voice, “Sure, sure, my daughter, my Liu Yue . If you want to come to the palace, have your Mommy bring you whenever you like . The doors to the Imperial Capital in the North will always be open for you . You can come whenever you like . Daddy will come and see you every month . Similarly, you can come to the Imperial Palace whenever you want . ”

“Uhm…”

Liu Yue was Ling Yue’s daughter, no doubt about that . She cried in my arms . In the end, though, she just gave a simple response while wagging her tail . I knew she wasn’t ungrateful but purely shy .   Nonetheless, the way she wagged her tail told me that she liked me .

I was satisfied with that .

It was only later on that I came to realise what Liu Yue meant when she said, “I want to know more about you . I want to see you more . I want to know more about you…” She wasn’t kidding… Perhaps I should say that I regretted saying that later on…

Ten years later .

“Daddy . ”

I opened my eyes in a daze to see a long furry tail in the distance . The clear moonlight outside of the thin curtains told me that it clearly was still night time . I wasn’t surprised, since I was woken up after just falling asleep . I felt somebody pressing down on my chest, making it a challenge to breathe .

Liu Yue’s eyes were just inches away from my face . I quickly rubbed my eyes . I turned my head to the side to see Nier still asleep . I softly asked, “What’s the matter, Liu Yue?”

After ten years, Liu Yue was no longer the tiny fox . She was mature and charming girl . Further, Ling Yue complained to me on more than one occasion that Liu Yue gradually dressed more and more revealing . Right that moment, I could see her b.r.e.a.s.t.s that had yet to fully develop underneath her low-cut sleepwear . She was my biological daughter, though, so there was no chance I’d have l.u.s.tful thoughts for my grown-up daughter . I’d have to be born a creep, or that was impossible .

I quietly said, “Is something the matter, Liu Yue? If there’s nothing urgent, let’s talk about it tomorrow . It’s not good to wake up your Mommy Nier . ”

“I had a nightmare . ” Liu Yue kept her gaze on me when she gave her simple response . She then rolled off me then tucked herself into my bed . She looked as though she was an expert in executing the sequence . She buried herself in my arms and looked at me: “So I want to sleep here with you, Daddy . ”

“You’re not a kid anymore . If you had a nightmare, wouldn’t it be better to go to Nona or your other sisters? Plus, you girls can chat with each other . ”

Bewildered, she replied, “But I want to sleep together with Daddy . Didn’t you hug me, like this, when I had nightmares?”

I hopelessly replied, “That was when you were still young . You’ve grown now . ”

“I’m still Daddy’s daughter even if I have grown . That will never change . Additionally, you said some extra stuff to the maid in charge of the bedroom today, and she bashfully laughed afterwards . During the day, you also held hands with Miss Luna . At night, you were acting fishy with Mommy in the kitchen…”

“Stop!”

I was so frightened that I almost shouted . I quickly covered Liu Yue’s mouth and looked at Nier, who was next to me, with terror . Fortunately, she had yet to fully wake . Having lived together for ten years, she wasn’t so vigilant anymore . In addition, Nier was most comfortable and most relaxed when sleeping next to me . Liu Yue looked at me with an eerie smile and, next to my ear, whispered, “Daddy, did I once tell you that I’d definitely be your side . I’ll always be watching you . Always . I’m your daughter, so I will always like you, and I’ll always… be watching you… always, always… always… watching you, you know…”

“Liu Yue, let me introduce you . ”.
