Silence invaded the place, the silence became heavy, Lilia did not know how to continue, she had not had a child and with the child she shared the most was with her master's son and he looked at her with a totally perverted face despite being only 3 years old. .

"Are you hungry?" Lilia asked the boy that this time he raised her head a little to look at her.

"Come on, I'll take you to a safer place" Lilia said, looking at the boy, she didn't know why she was doing it but she couldn't leave him here, her instinct told her that the boy needed her and if she didn't, she would probably regret it.

Silence

She again did not answer, she just stared at the hand of a lilia who was waiting for the child to take it to help him get up from the dirty place.

The boy has nothing more than a brown shirt with holes and stained red by his own blood, along with pants of the same color with holes here and there.

Slowly but surely the boy raised her hand as he could and took Lilia's hand who smiled kindly making the boy look at her.

On the way to her home, Lilia cleaned the blood that stained the child's face, aided by the falling rain. Since then, the only thing dry at the moment was the bag of food that she brought with her.

Knock Knock knock...

The door was opened by a woman, the woman has blonde hair in a ponytail along with blue eyes and an hourglass body with large breasts and wide hips.

"Lily are you alright?" The woman asked seeing how her servant was all wet without paying attention to her new guest.

"Yes, I'm fine, thanks for your concern" the maid replied with a smile.

"Oh, lilia, what's up?" The woman named Zenith asked, noticing the presence of the child.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I ran into this boy in the rain and I couldn't leave him alone" Lilia replied apologizing for the unannounced visit.

"Eh, it doesn't matter, he just comes in before you catch a cold" Zenith replied, leaving a space for lilia to enter.

When Lilia entered, she noticed that the little boy did not move, she just looked at her with a face of not understanding anything.

"Come in, don't be afraid" Zenith told him with a smile.

The boy didn't even look at her and just stared at Lilia, hoping she would follow something from her.

Sigh.

Lilia approached and took his hand causing the boy to shudder slightly before being dragged into the house.

Entering the house, Zenith got a good look at the child and couldn't gesticulate a word at what was standing in front of her.

The child was very skinny and injured. Zenith did not know who would be so cruel to a simple child of no more than 5 or 4 years.

"I'm coming, I'll look for some bandages to heal those wounds" said Zenith walking away to look for something to heal the child.

Lilia didn't know how to proceed, but after a few moments she realized that she didn't know the boy's name, so she didn't know what to call him.

"Can you tell me your name? My name is lilia a pleasure" the redheaded woman said with a tiny smile to the expressionless boy.

Silence.

The boy looked at her and shook his head, her eyes moved to the ground without knowing what to do.

Lilia looked at that with pity, the child apparently couldn't speak and she didn't even know his own name, that broke her heart, already cracked by the child's condition.

Looking at the boy who had not made a movement, he looked to see how drops fell to the ground, he had been crying since he met him despite being hurt and bruised, the boy had not expressed anything but here was the same boy crying in front of her for just ask her name.

The boy took his head with his hands while more tears fell from his red eyes, the strange thing is that everything was silent as if he had learned not to cry as if he would not give others the satisfaction of seeing him sob only tears of pain coming out of his eyes.

Lilia's tears soon flowed, a child was just a child, she was sure that the Chinese had not had a moment of peace since birth, she was sure that this child was the strongest child she had ever had in her life. seen, adult men on occasions like these decided to end their lives but here was a little boy with the will that no one but him listen to his sobs, a boy who although life has not treated him in the best way yet he clung to life.

Lilia couldn't take it anymore and hugged the child instinctively. In the first seconds she felt the child's body tense up but after the seconds stopped she felt the child calm down and fall asleep in her arms.

Unbeknownst to them on the left side a bit away from the duo was another duo this time of a tall muscular man with light skin and light brown hair along with green eyes this man is paul geyrat.

Right next to the man is a little boy about 3/4 years old identical to the older one, fair skin, light brown hair and green eyes and a mole under his left eye.
