Chapter 30: Behind her smile [Part 1]

The light disappeared showing fragments of the pendant, assembling itself creating a huge transparent room. It started to show a scene from a certain time.

"It's a girl!" A maid cheered handing the newly born baby to it's mother.

The baby slowly opened her eyes revealing her sparkling (E/C) orbs.

"She's perfect." Terra said softly as a single tear fell from her pale face and she stared at her child lovingly.

The tear drop froze itself creating a crystal-like pendant with a silver chain.

A young Yuuka took the necklace and carefully put it on the baby's neck.

"What will you name her Terra-sama?"

Terra smiled softly,"I promised Endymion we will both decide on what will we name her."

As she said those words, Endymion entered the room slowly.

"Is it over?" He spoke nervously and the head maid Altaria, scolded him,
"Endymion-sama, you should be ashamed of yourself. Not being with your wife when she's giving birth, you could've been there comforting her."

Endymion laughed nervously knowing he can't escape the wrath of Altaria since she knew him when he was still a tiny tot.

"Forgive me Altaria-san, I couldn't bear seeing my wife screaming in pain."

Altaria sighed causing him to smile apologetically at Terra,
"I'm sorry my dear, I couldn't-" he stopped for a second as he stared at the baby.

"Look Terra, she got your eyes." He smiled as tears started to form in his eyes.

Terra handed the baby to him,
"What shall we name her Endymion?"

The father stared at his newborn baby,
"How about (Y/N)?"

"(Y/N) Koizumi, it suits her perfectly."

Terra smiled and Endymion lifted (Y/N) up in the air causing some of the maids including Yuuka to be surprised at his action,
"I promise I'll be a good father to you (Y/N)!" He exclaimed happily and brought the baby back in his arms.

"I bet you'll spoil her silly Endymion."

"Nothing deserves less for our baby princess." He kissed (Y/N)'s forehead. She giggled and everyone aww'ed at her action.

"May I hold her Endymion-sama?" Yuuka asked and he nodded, carefully handing (Y/N) to her.

Yuuka made sure she held the baby properly.

"Hello little (Y/N), my name is Yuuka and I can't wait to play games with you!" She smiled brightly at her and (Y/N) laughed.

Yuuka looked up to Terra,
"I promise I'll always make her happy Terra-sama!"

"I know you will little Terra."

The girl pouted,
"I'm not that little."

Endymion chuckled and patted Yuuka's head,
"Yes you are, and (Y/N) is lucky to have you."

Yuuka grinned at him and Altaria said,
"Terra-sama needs her rest, giving birth drains the energy out of her."

Endymion carried (Y/N) again,
"I'll tuck (Y/N) in her room Terra."

She nodded slowly and he spoke again,
"Thank you for giving me a wonderful child Terra." He kissed her forehead

Terra laughed softly,
"Get out of here before I start crying too." She teased

Endymion chuckled heading out with (Y/N) in his arms.

Time skip: 6 years

"(Y/N), You're still wearing your nightgown!" Yuuka exclaimed as she ran after the 6-year old (Y/N).

The little girl laughed as she ran through the hallways,
"You can't catch me Yuu-chan!" She slid down the huge staircase in their mansion.

When she reached the end, she sees Altaria staring at her,
"(Y/N)-sama, you're still in your nightgown. Change your clothes before you head out for breakfast."

(Y/N) flinched and she ran up behind Yuuka who have finally caught up to her,
"She's scary Yuu-chan." Her lips quivered like she was about to cry.

Yuuka sighed,
"That's because you didn't change your clothes (Y/N), now let's go back to your room and get you changed."

The girl nodded cheerfully returning to her energetic state.

"After breakfast, can we play hide and seek?" She asked.

"Of course we can, (Y/N)-chan."

(Y/N) grinned widely and she quickly ran up back to her room.

"That girl, always cheerful, I hope she never change." Altaria smiled genuinely causing Yuuka to also smile.

After breakfast, (Y/N) ran out of the dining room. She's wearing her favorite (F/C) dress and her hair is down clipped with a (F/C) ribbon matching her dress,
"Let's play hide and seek Yuu-chan!"

"Okay (Y/N)-chan, I'll count to 10 and you hide okay?"

"Okay!"

Yuuka went up to a wall and started counting. (Y/N) ran through the halls again and she couldn't help but giggle. She turned around the corner near her parent's room when she heard voices,
"I apologize Endymion-sama, I couldn't figure out what's wrong with your wife."

"I'll be alright Endymion, don't worry about me." Terra's voice sounded so weak that (Y/N) hardly heard her.

"I understand doctor. Thank you for coming."

"I'll come by again tomorrow, to run more tests. Don't lose hope Mr.Koizumi."

The doctor walked out, (Y/N) squeaked running behind the corner,
"Why hello there little (Y/N)."

Mr.Hamada tipped his hat at her. "Hello, Mr Hamada." She did a curtsy as a formal greeting to the doctor.

The man chuckled,he patted the girl's head and walked away.

"(Y/N) what are you doing here?" Endymion said and the girl grinned,
"Daddy!" She hugged her father.

Endymion hugged her back,
"Will Mommy be alright?"

"Of course she'll be alright, your mommy is strong (Y/N)." He gave her a strained smile but she didn't notice it.

"I'm playing hide and seek with Yuu-chan."

"How about you stop playing hide and seek, and go to town with Yuuka, you can pick up something for Mommy? It would make her feel better."

(Y/N) looked up at him and smiled brightly,
"That's a great idea Daddy, I'll get the best gift for Mommy!" She pecked her dad's cheek and ran away happily.

Endymion looked at Terra who's coughing roughly and he immediately paid his attention to her.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"(Y/N)-chan, where have you been? I looked around and I couldn't find you!" Yuuka hurriedly walked up to the little girl.

"Yuu-chan, I want to go to town and get a gift for Mommy, I want to make her feel better."

Yuuka blinked at her, she knew about Terra's condition and she wasn't expecting for (Y/N) to know.

"You're listening to the grown up's talk again aren't you (Y/N)-chan?"

"I just heard voices and I was curious."

"Don't do it again okay (Y/N)?"

The girl nodded slowly and she tugged on Yuuka's dress,
"Let's go now, we're wasting time!" She whined.

Yuuka walked up to one of the guards and she told him to prepare a carriage for them.

Altaria didn't allow (Y/N) and Yuuka to go to town alone so she decided to come with them. Once they arrived at town, (Y/N) was surprised to see lots of people in the busy town.

"Now (Y/N)-sama, you must stay with me and Yuuka at all times. You should also not talk to strangers unless I know them alright?" Altaria said.

(Y/N) nodded,
"I will."

The three of them walked around shops and (Y/N) bought a bouquet of roses for her mother. Altaria wanted to buy some certain ingredients for tonight's dinner and she asked Yuuka to help her.

While they're looking for the ingredients, (Y/N) sneaked out of the market she wanted to see the town for herself and good thing Yuuka took the roses from her so she could roam around town empty-handed.

(Y/N) promised herself that she'll come back to the market after she have found the toy store. The girl walked around corners till she finds herself lost.

Uh oh... I think I should've listen to Altaria.

She walked slowly till a voice spoke,
"What's the daughter of a filthy aristocrat doing here?"

(Y/N) turned around to face the owner of the voice and she couldn't help but be scared.
