When the day came to an end, the only thing left to do was resting, but Elisa quickly invited us to a big room she had, which had a whole cinema in there. For our night, we’ll spend it here watching movies that had yet to be released to the public!
“Wow, how did you get these legally?!” Asked Elena.
“Fufu, I have my connections!” Laughed Elisa.
“So this is the power of money…” Anna said.
“Wow, you got the Lord of the Rings, the Dragon Born Trilogy Part 3?!” Asked Elena. “Isn’t this supposed to be released next year?”
“Wait, isn’t this Avengers Multiverse Wars?!” Anna asked. “This is also for next year…”
“And this is… Huh?! Spiderman Web of Dimensions?!” Elena asked again.
“Fufu, pretty cool, right?! Let’s watch!” Elisa celebrated.
And like that, we just rested over a big bed made out of pillows and we began watching movies after movies, which had yet to even be launched in cinemas yet. Elisa cuddled with me midway through and ended falling asleep.
When we decided to go back to our rooms, it was already pretty late at ten in the night, so we decided to sleep for now. I brought Elisa back to her room in my arms and left her there covered in blankets.
She was really an amazing girl for doing all of this for us.
“Goodnight, Elisa…”
“Hmm…”
Elisa suddenly moved a bit around her bed.
“Mama…”
“Eh?”
“Mama… don’t leave…”
“Ah…”
She was holding my arm without wanting to let me go. Maybe she was dreaming about her mother and thought I was her?
“Papa… Don’t leave… Why… don’t you love mama…?”
“Sigh…”
She was having a nightmare.
I quickly caressed her head and then sat at her side in the bed, hugging her.
“There, there… Everything is alright…”
“Hmm…”
Elena slowly calmed down as she began to sleep like a little angel.
Poor thing…

A little blonde girl, no older than eight years of age wearing a little white dress, resembling a doll, was standing there, as her mother held her little hand. Her father was signing some papers with her mother, as she looked nervously, confused about what was really happening.
“Mama…? What’s… this?”
However, her parents didn’t answered her.
“Papa?”
The little girl ran towards her father, grabbing his suit and trying to get his attention.
It has always felt like her father was an enormous man, so tall and unreachable that no matter how hard she tried, he ever barely gave any attention to her.
“Well, your mother and I, Elisa… Well, we are simply going to live separately from now on.” Said her father. “I hope you can understand.”
The little blonde girl felt confused. Why would her parents want to live separately? What was going on? Her life filled with happiness and their attention… why was it all crumbling from one day to the other?
“But… I don’t wanna!” She cried, her eyes beginning to look all watery.
She desperately ran towards her mother, but her mother seemed to be crying.
“Mama? Mama? Don’t cry! Mama!”
The Little girl tried to crawl over her mother, trying to hug her, but her mother could barely contain herself…
“I’m sorry Elisa…” She sighed, quickly standing up.
She then kneeled before her daughter and hugger her tightly.
“I’m sure you’re a strong girl, you’ve always have been. You have your servants here… Make sure to be strong.” Her mother said with a smile.
“Don’t leave… Mama!”
Her mother slowly began walking away. Her father as well. Both walked separate directions, and she didn’t know which one to choose. At the end, she couldn’t chase them, as they were long ago away from her grasp before she realized it.
She was left alone, desolate, and without the pillars of her life…
The little girl cried over the floor, until tears couldn’t come out of her eyes anymore.
Until a gentle hand touched her little shoulder.
“Young lady, don’t you think you’ve given the plants enough water?” An old and gentle man emerged behind her, her loyal butler.
“Sebastian…” She muttered.
“Come on, everything is going to be alright. Your father and your mother are okay, they are just traveling around the world. Why don’t you come eat your favorite ice cream with me?”
Her butler gently held her little hand, guiding her inside the manor.
She looked behind her for a few moments, into the white table where she enjoyed many lunches with her parents over her first eight years…
“Young lady?” Her butler called for her.
“Ah… Sure…” The little girl sighed, as she walked inside the house to eat ice cream.
Although she could have anything she wanted as she grew up, the little girl grew up with an ever-growing emptiness inside of her heart, missing the most important part of her childhood, her parents.
When Elisa woke up, she looked around her, finding Elayne sleeping at her side, hugging her tightly.
“Ah… A-Auntie?!” Elisa quickly grew a bit red in embarrassment, as Elayne’s eyes slowly opened. A motherly smile emerged in her lips.
“Good morning Ely, are you okay? You had nightmares last night so… I decided to stay here and comfort you a bit… S-Sorry if it was a bit weird…” Elayne apologized. .
“Ah… N-No, it is fine. Thanks for being so nice with me… It feels like I owe you even more now…” Elisa giggled a bit.
“Hahah, but I think I should walk away for now, your butler will get mad at me if he finds me here.” Said Elayne.
“Ah! Don’t worry about that! Sebas will listen to what I tell him. How about we have some breakfast?” Elisa wondered.
“Sure! I am hungry now… Thought I want to take a bath first…” Elayne said.
“There is a big bath on the first floor with very warm water, a natural hot spring. Let’s go there with Elena and Anna!”
“What?! You even have such a thing in your house? Wow…” Elayne, as a country girl, was honestly amazed by all he luxuries of a rich girl’s house.
