Volume 9 Chapter 11: Gift Giving Time

"Brrh," Krystal's mouth jittered as she stared out the window. Outside was covered in snow. It was beautiful, but the temperature was offsetting everything.

"When I heard about the northern region being cold, I never expected it to be like this." Krystal had also changed into long-sleeved clothes. But never did she expect this.

"It's even more so when you live in such a hot region." The South was warmer compared to other lands. It wasn't surprising to see the girl act like this.

"Krystal, huddle together with me. It's too cold to sit alone." Carolyn waved her hands to the girl. She had a blanket wrapped around her body.

"Yeah," Krystal nodded. Fira tilted, "Big Sister Carolyn, Krystal, are you two cold?"

"Of course!" "How are you not cold?" They were amazed by how this temperature did not affect the little spirit. Fira then questioned, "Why should I be? I live in this region."

The two girls had overlooked something; Fira came from the northern region with Keith. That meant she was quite accustomed to the temperature.

"Still, come over here with Mir and Ruby!" The two little ones were being used as heat packs!

"Okay!" The little spirit flew over and into the blanket. Keith shook his head, "Shouldn't you be used to it? You come to my place all the time." Carolyn had been coming and going from his territory.

"I haven't for quite some time now." The last time they came here was eight months ago.

"Tsk tsk."

"Don't "Tsk," us! Take this!" Without any hesitation, Carolyn placed her hands on Keith's face. It was cold and icy,

"..." However, there was no effect on him.

"Did you really think this is going to affect me?" Ice hands were a staple for him, along with Leon and Laura.

"Eh?"

"Come here," He placed his hand onto hers, heating it up.

"So warm." Carolyn melted.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Krystal, come here."

“I’m-okay.” Krystal melted like so with the feeling of warmness.

"Also, use this blanket instead. It's a lot thicker and keeps heat as well." A black blanket was taken out and was placed over the two.

"You're the best, Keith!" Carolyn grinned as she nestled into it. The man tilted his head, "Do you remember what you tried to do to me a few seconds ago."

"I apologize. And I know how to make it up to you," Carolyn made a cute face. But then she turned to Krystal, who nodded.

"Eh?" "What are you two doing?" The two quickly went over to his side, which was when they covered him.

"Warm, right?" "Mmhm, it's cozy." Keith didn't deny that; it was pretty warm and comfortable. With three people's body heat together also made it better.

"Cuu!" "Ruby, what are you doing?" The little baby went even further as he went into Keith's clothes and popped out of his shirt.

"Cuu." The baby was content.

"Leave him in there; he wants to be with Daddy," Carolyn grinned as she hugged the man. A light and relaxed sigh came out of their mouth as they slowly drifted off. They were too cozy.

That was when the knight commented, "Young Master, we have arrived in front of the Estate."

"Oh, we're here?" As he looked through the window, Carolyn and Krystal also got ready.

"..." Weren't you guys resting? He swore these girls were asleep a few minutes ago. The carriage stopped in front of the mansion. Keith was the first person to get out.

"Big brother!" Two little ones dashed over!

"Did you two miss me?"

"Mmhmm!" The two nodded. But that was when they dashed to the two girls, "Big sister Carolyn!" “Big sister Krystal!”

"Mmhmm," The two girls nodded as they patted their heads.

"Welcome home, Little brother." Eric punched his chest. That only caused Keith to laugh, "Didn't you guys meet with me a few weeks ago?"

"Still, it's so great to have you home," Derek held his brother's head. Nothing beats meeting at home.

"Derek, don't mess with his head." Alvin smacked him.

"Hello, Uncle, Aunty." “Hello, Marquis, Marchioness.” While Keith talked with his siblings, Carolyn and Krystal bowed to William and Sophia.

"There's no need to do that. I've already discussed this with your fathers. You guys are welcome to stay here as long as you like," Understanding the upheaval that was going down, of course, he would help them out.

"And you don't need to use Marchioness for me, Krystal. Just call me Aunty and him Uncle." Sophia smiled. It was too formal for their taste.

"...Thank you, Aunty." Krystal's cheeks were slightly red as she said this.

"Let's go inside. I bought a lot of gifts for you all." Keith grinned. He had prepared many gifts.

"Big sister Carolyn, let me show you around!" "Sure."

While Leon held onto Carolyn,

"..." Laura held onto Krystal's hands as she looked up at the girl. She didn't say much, but her actions got the message across. Everyone was then brought over to the living room. That was when he snapped his fingers, which caused all of the items to appear.

"First up is my two little angels." The weapon and wand were brought out first.

"It's a sword!" Leon marveled at the weapon in his hand. Laura didn't say anything, but she moved the wand left and right.

"Leon, if you inject mana into it, then you can make the sword harder. For Laura, the wand will help you get used to magic."

"An enchanted sword?" Sophia blinked, "Keith, that's a little-"

"It's fine, mother. It's a good practice sword for him."

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

"But Big Brother is not done!" Keith grinned as he took out the bracelet and bunny bag,

"Cute," Laura's eyes locked onto it. But Keith added, "Not only that, but you can store things in it too!"

"Really?"

"Not as big as mine. But you guys could store some clothes and your candy in there." He held a cookie before the bracelet, causing it to disappear.

"Big Brother is the best!" Leon and Laura quickly hugged him.
