Korr smiled at her instead, "I understand that this is my world and it is a lot easier for me to say but giving up hope and everything else does not work well in your favour. If you're going to think that then it'll end you will always realise the problems faced instead of the blessings are also coming your way."

She shook her head adamantly, "my father died and so did my baby. There is nothing good coming out of that."

​​

"I agree. It never will." He nodded along and sent a small apologetic smile her way. "But that is not what I am talking about. What you're talking about is what consequences our decisions have on us."

Adeline closed her eyes and lowered her head. Too many emotions for bubbling up and now she wanted to train her thoughts in before crying out to him with a jumble of words. All of the phones were fresh enough to start bleeding whenever she tried to press on them. Talking about them was too hard for her and he wanted to discuss dam and point out what was her fault and what was not. Naturally, it was not easy.

"Nothing here was my decision."

"It's a hard discussion. Are you ready for it?" She looked ab at his ways to find a rather impressive face looking at her. For once she was glad that someone was looking at her like that because it seemed that he was neither judging nor happy with her misery and neither was pitying her.

"H-How hard?" She sniffed and he sent a small smile her way.

He answered, "Very, little one. Because this is going to point out a lot of mistakes from your side too."

She was not ready for that. She was not going to accept that everything was just her fault and those were just her decisions that had led here. "Do you know how hard it had been to know that people could shift into something completely different? It was too scary that night!"

"What night?" He frowned and she answered immediately, on a roll.

"The night that my neighbour invited me to a so-called adventure. I-I don't know what happened but all I could think was my feet following the tune of whatever he was saying and then we stood there on some kind of. . . I do not know, I saw Ashley and Alexander twist and turn into monsters!"

" Lycans." He corrected her. "Who is this neighbor you talk of?"

"Noah." She sniffed. " He was the neighbor and also the person who was responsible for my baby's death."

"And your father's." Korr added but it seemed like a question to her.

"What?" She blinked to get the tears away. "Xavier was?" She told him yet the uncertainty showed.

He shook his head. "I don't think so my dear. You never got the events right."

"They happened to me." She was quick to point it out to him and he nodded.

" Perhaps you have your side of the story." He corrected himself. "How about you try to understand this this way. Your side of the story, your view is full of the human concept, whereas you are dealing with the supernatural one which is why you failed to get them in the right order and the right reasoning."

A groan was coming. She never understood how it always came to be her fall to not have any kind of knowledge regarding the things that she had always been unaware of full stop of course she had half of information regarding everything. She knew what happened that night by Ashlynn and then she came to know what the heritachry was by Patricia.

Both the knowledge receiving events were followed by something drastic happening to her and she could not continue getting the full account of events once again.

She took a sip of her now lukewarm water. "What happened?"

He sighed and leaned back a bit. "I do not know."

"What?" She gaped at him in surprise. "But you . . ."

"Yes?"

"But I thought. . that you knew." She meekly pointed out.

He shook his head and sighed softly. " No child, I mainly pointed out the fact that you have your half of the story which is not as significant as the other because the world revolving around you now is supernatural."

Wow, she thought, way to make her feel insignificant.

What did she want to do from here? She thought about it.

Knowing what happened more or getting knowledge about anything just brought her events that she did not want to be a part of. Rather she wanted to just completely forget about them.

Why couldn't she just do that instead?

She looked at Korr, "how long am I to stay here?" Maybe in a given time frame she could figure out something to do.

Korr looked taken aback at that and she felt bad. "I was just asking for it for the sake of it. I had no intention of. ."

He waved it off. "Well, for the time you want to stay here I guess. Why is there something specific that you would like to do?"

She pursued her lips as she thought about it. Now that she had an option she would actually like to think about it. That's when she remembered, "Mr. Korr, do you have schools here?"

"Uh," he looked a bit uncertain, "Yes, why?"

"I think I would like to join them." A full gone smile came to her face as she was genuinely excited about the idea of. She did not like studying but she did not hate it either which made it favourable for her to go to school and get things off of her mind.

It was the perfect opportunity!

Korr Quill was surprised and he failed to conceal it. Even though he was responsible for Adaline as her guardian har life remained in the hands of the king who had a maid. He was the only extended person that was taking care of her for now.

"Do you mind if I tell you the answer by the evening?"

Her smile dimmed but she had faced much more than a reduction which is why she noted family and did not let it deter her. Maybe, just maybe, it would be a yes.
