Babysitter for the CEO

Chapter 64



The first question was ‘Where does my fairy tribe live? And also show me the way the ruling system is like.’

Collen sighed, and the images changed.

Now they could see a place full of ice all year round. The residents wear a white coat on whatever outfit they chose. Their hair was at least knee-length and they had pale skin. This fairy tribe kingdom was called ‘Frost blade’. Their powers are mainly ice and water. But there are select few who can control blood. Such people are a great asset in war.

Being a royal doesn’t mean one can have that ability. Even a peasant can possess it. It is a divine gift! When found, such people are taken to the palace and given the rank of a noble. It comes with a nice abode on a blessed mountain. Such mountains are very good for improving one’s power level. He will first practice on various sacred beasts of different ranks- both cold and warm-blooded. Later, he’ll practice on worthless criminals caught over the years.

They can then become guards for the palace. The queen then was called Alaska and Nicholas Whittaker. They had seven children. Only one among them was a female called Bianca. She was beautiful but quite wayward, unlike her brothers, who were praised all over the kingdom. There is another tribe that lives close to them called wind fairies living in the Wind’s expanse kingdom.

They had silver hair and tanned skin. They mostly had wind powers. Those from the ice kingdom could be married to them. Whenever there was a ball in any of these two kingdoms, they’d invite each other before anyone else. The inhabitants of the wind kingdom all had a tattoo on their right shoulder and a tribal mark on their left cheek. The queen regent of the Wind expanse kingdom was called Lyra Stallard. She had a son who was betrothed to the princess of Frost blade.

“I have answered most of your questions on the list.” Collen said as the images vanished. All that could be seen was the bright light reflecting from the wall.

“But there was a last question that hasn’t been answered.” Evelyn said. She took out a small jade pendant and handed it to him.

“Do you recognize this?” she asked.

He took it from her and examined it.

“Who gave it to you?”

“My late mum. She said it should never leave my possession.”

“Can I have a look at your mom’s picture?” Collens asked.

“Vanessa has it. I didn’t bring my phone.”

Vanessa gave her phone to her bestie to have a look at her gallery. Soon, she found what she wanted and handed the phone to Collen.

Seeing the picture on the phone, his eyes widened.

“When I saw your transformed self for the first time today, I said you were a princess. In Frost blade, there are different princesses. Those who had noble status were referred to as conferred kings, whether male of female. But their children are called conferred princes and princesses. I thought you were a conferred royal, but seeing this jade pendant… it means…” he pointed the mirror towards the wall again and bright light reflected from it.

Soon, the image of the naughty princess of Frost blade kingdom appeared. She wore a red cropped fur coat and black lace skirt. Her eyes were brown and hair ankle-length. Her face was covered partly from nose to neck by a transparent mask. She was holding up the hands of a man who could be considered the male version of Evelyn. He had purple hair and pink charming eyes. His skin was dark, and he had several scars on his body. There was a pair a red bat wings at his back and he looked scared. There was a crowd booing at the two of them.

“That’s my father?” she asked in disbelief.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“The pendant you’re holding belongs to him. His tribe will either give it to their love or heir.”

“Then my biological father was a bat? A demon?”

“Vanessa, please leave us. There are some things only she can know for now. I hope you don’t mind.” Collen said with pleading eyes.

“No probs. I’ll take her out for a while.” she carried Lisa on her back and left, not forgetting to shut the door.

Evelyn sighed.

“Now, can you tell me?”

“Your dad was indeed a demon, but he was an incubus. Your mum was his supposed first victim.”

“I don’t get you. What’s an incubus?” she asked with creased eyebrows.

“I… well… let me explain. Incubus is a creature that increases his powers by sleeping with females at night without their knowledge. Their first victim must be a virgin. But after that, they can choose what type of women. They could continue with virgins or go for older women. There were some rare ones who’d go for young males of around 16-18.

They do have mates, but it’s very rare. Once they meet their mate, they will become vegetarian incubus, which means they would stop going about their nightly stuff. When incubus and his mate, often a succubus, copulate, they increase their power together, especially during the full moon.

At a time, the incubus king waged a war against Wind expanse. Frost blade wasn’t on good terms with the king of Wind expanse when he was alive so they just watched. But when some incubus hurt their maidens, the king of Frost blade got enraged and joined hands with Wind expanse. Along with aid from three hired healers, they were able to conquer all the incubus and succubus. Only a few survived and were taken as captives in Wind expanse and Frost blade. They had their wings plucked off and their horns broken. This severely weakened them and cut off any hopes of escaping. With time, they began to look more human inside and out after being exposed to sunlight too much.

When one of them gave birth, the child was declared human after tests and was allowed to live. The unruly princess started visited the captives area when she turned 17. She saw this weak boy who was being bullied. She punished the guard and fed him. They became secret friends and would hang out in a secret place. But when the boy turned 19 on a full moon, he transformed into an incubus in front of her. Unfortunately, his screams of agony while changing attracted the royal guards. He escaped but was caught back the next day. He was to be beheaded before the citizens of Frost blade and some natives of Wind expanse.

But at the crucial moment, Princess Bianca stopped the execution and took him to a high platform made from her ice powers.

She declared him as her mate and true love, causing an uproar. She escaped using one of the treasures of their kingdom that could only be used when her life was in peril.”

Evelyn’s mouth was opened wide.

“My dad’s an incubus. My mum’s an ice fairy…”

Your mom’s lineage has an ancestor with wind powers.” he said. The light reflecting from the hand mirror dimmed until there was no more light. He then placed the mirror on the table. He sighed and walked towards her.

“Then… does that mean… the one I thought was my mother is just a foster parent?” she was shedding tears now.

“Collens… where are my actual parents then? Are they still alive?” she asked as he sat beside her.

She hugged her and patted her back.

“Your parents’ union was a taboo and her betrothed felt betrayed. He spared no effort in looking for them.”

“How do you know all these things?”

“They sought my help, offering me a stone that was vital to increasing my warrior rank. I accepted it. It was also then that I saw that jade pendant and he explained it was a heirloom. Only chosen heirs can receive its protection,” he said in a whisper, breaking the hug with a flushed face.

“Now, I gotta ask you something. How old are you?”

“That wasn’t listed on the paper…”

“Collens, you are my mate. You owe me that answer!” she barked and then turned to face the entrance to the office.

“Evelyn… are you… accepting me?” he looked excited.

“Dream on. There’s still a month’s deadline. I might not even choose you in the end.”Oh that! Sorry, I forgot. But you aren’t qualified to know my actual age right now.”

“Hmph! If you don’t wanna tell me your age, so be it. I won’t ask anymore. It’s not like I’d gain anything from knowing.”

“Why are you this pissed now?”

“Collens, how dare you ask that? I’m gonna poke you to death with my ice needles.” she pounced on him and boh fell to the floor with her on top. She raised her right hand and several ice needles appeared, levitating.

“Eh! You win. You are always right and I, Collens, am a dummy. Alright?” he raised his hands in surrender.

The ice needles vanished, but Evelyn still looked pissed.

“Do you want ice cream?”

“Am I still a kid?”

“You are… no no… you are a big lady, ok? Fine by you? And can you get off me? Your butt is indeed soft and bouncy but…”

“PERVERT!” she shrieked and embedded ice needle into his hands.

“Ouch! That really hurts. Do you wanna kill your husband?” he said with gritted teeth.

“Husband?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Wife?”

“Do you want to die?” she was preparing another set of ice needles to impale his hand again as the first set had melted.

The door suddenly opened.

“Err… boss, there’s this… hehe, I saw nothing. Boss isn’t here. Where is he?” the employee closed the door with a knowing smile.

“Evelyn, get off me please!” this time, his spear appeared, levitating and facing her.

“I’m not afraid. Since you won’t tell me your age, I’ll force it out of your mouth.”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t wanna know anymore?”

“Haven’t you heard the saying ‘ When a lady says no, she means yes and vice versa?”

“Then, does that mean you accepted me as your mate deep inside?”

“That’s different!”

The door opened again and Lisa walked in, looking pissed. She closed the door behind her and flew towards the bantering two.

“How long will it take to answer her questions? Why are you two being lovey-dovey here? You’re wasting time meant for my mum on her.” she ranted.

“Lisa, go play with you mama. We aren’t done yet.” Collens said.

“Hehe. Since you aren’t done, why don’t I join the fray? You only answered 4 parts of my questions. I replaced the earlier 6 with new ones. Now split up and start answering my questions, Mr. Collens! I hate being shortchanged.” she hit the table.

“Jack Oliver Reynolds, better pray I don’t cross your path for I’m gonna beat you up for raising a healer princess like this.” he swore in his heart.
