After walking out of the King's bedchamber, Esme was feeling rather fuzzy and warm.
So, she had a father now? She felt a hint of awkwardness knowing that she would have to address him as such whenever she encountered him from then on but still, it did not feel as uncomfortable as she had thought it would. The feeling of having a father... though awkward, still made her feel a different kind of warmth.
When she came to Defire a year ago, she had lost all her memories. Without Aleister by her side, without her memories, she was more like a puppet under the manipulation of the Norwell Family. Though Luciana treated her well but she could not stay by her side all the time. And Esme had been cautious back then, she plotted everything knowing that she could not trust anyone around her.
