24 I could change my name.

Katsy quietly looked at the man she could see the features of resemblance to Damien alias little sparrow. After thinking a while, she added.

"Would you mind if I also called you dad? After all, this body did belong to your flesh and blood. And from this day onward I would call myself Ariel, after all, I am borrowing her body until she can wake up."

Making a small yet sad smile, she continued as she watched the man reaction of utter disbelief. As if he had been given a great shock.

"However this might not happen in your and Damien lifetime; Hence I do not feed your or Damien hopes up more than it is necessary."

He his after all, now my little brother.

"Also I will introduce to you someone else his code name is Firedrake and he has yet to decide if he will go back to his birth name or pick a new one. We are after all not pressed into choosing our name's, but our family name will be the same.

If you wish we could even revive your name after all where you not a noble once upon a time?"

His eyes grew wide, and tears fell from the man eyes. How could he not hope to get back his name? His family and drag down those that had harmed them all?

Katsy was very far from knowing what surprise Alex held for her upon her discussion with him later that night.

Helping Damien and Ariel's old man did not feel wrong to her after all this man had been deceived and despaired for half his life. How could she rub salt in a deep flesh wound? She sure could not.

"Well, then I will go get Damien after you get properly dressed and cleaned. Before that, I need to care about the newer personnel. Once that is done we can speak more."

He nodded and gave a small smile filled with his hopes.

"Very well let's talk more after the day is not young anymore so I will hurry."

Saying, so he scurried to go bath himself, his heart that had long stopped beating was now alive and kicking! He would see his son, and he would have a new daughter while it pained him that his daughter perished she would eventually return. Sadly he would not be around to see her it had to be his punishment for failing as a father.

They had to move to a new house soon they could not remain in the courtyard forest of the crown prince eternally.

She was now a human and this era and continent looked down on girls if she wanted to lay low and live well. She could not afford some gossip about her and Kenshin after all he hoped nothing more than to trap her here.

Thinking such she when to see the new guards and maids. The young girls and boys looked at the young miss standing in front of them. Her clear skin and beautiful eyes stunned them that eye colour it was golden! With her silver hair, she looked like an immortal fairy! Feeling dumbstruck they could not believe there was someone as beautiful as her.

The men's glanced at her this young girl would probably be a beauty that could cause the fall of a country once she will fully grow up!

They now had to serve such peerless mistress… they felt at the same time blessed as well as cursed would there not be plenty idiots getting ideas on such a sweet girl?

"You two will help my little brother and serve him she spoke to one girl and one boy. Unless he does not want you, this will be your task."

As for Alex after some thoughts, she would let him decide who he wanted after all he was more than capable of determining. Thinking of which she said the two of you go and find your new young master the rest follow me.

Turning toward the men, she beckoned them to follow as well with a flick of her wrist.

Walking toward Alex's room, she knocked on the door lightly.

"Fire Drake open up please, I have something to ask of you."

A wage acquiescing sound resounded, soon the door opened.

"You needed to see me?" His tone seemed a little mischievous and languid however his smile revealed that he likely had also some good news.

Lifting one brow up showing a puzzled look with a small smile across her lips.

"Can we enter?" She gestured toward the people following her. "Choose among them. If they are not to your satisfaction, we can get one of the older middle-aged men as your servant after all. We will be appearing as a new family that came from the outside but have a noble title it would be inconvenient if you did not have a servant even if it's only for a cover. However, if you want to test their skills first, I leave the decision to you." Saying, so she glanced behind her again looking at the maids and the young boy.

His gaze fell on them, and he furrowed his brow how he could miss the gaze of those young maidens? After all, he had once upon a time seen plenty of those...
