Alexander's Decision

Hearing the recent development going on in the International Legation Quarter, Alexander was now feeling a little bit off. His work is not giving him some time to spend with his daughter. 

He is starting to notice it. Whenever they are having fun with one another, there will be emergency news that will prompt him to leave Anya to the servants of the palace to take care of her.

"Papa, are you okay? You have been silent for a while?" Anya remarked, looking up at her with her bright blue eyes.

"Nothing, I was just enjoying the moment in silence. There's nothing to worry about. Though there will be some visitors who will be entering this office soon." 

"So you are returning to work?" Anya asked and continued. "Will I be asked to leave papa?" 

"No, you can stay here. It's not that important anyways," Alexander said while gently stroking her hair. reassuring her that he won't send her away if Sevastian were to come into his office.
