The sun shone over her body and on more day started. Even tho she was Lord"s daughter, she loved her little house and tiny garden. 

She stretched her arms and content smile hushed over her face. ""Ahhhh, so lazy.""

Lilly slept by her side curled up like donut. She stroke her s.h.i.+ny fur and chuckled. Lilly"s long eyelashes started to open and she slowly looked at the s.h.i.+ny smile. ""I am so lazy, so are you. Shall we sleep the whole day today? Just sleep more today, mhm?""

Lilly stretched like a cat and snuggled in Kendra"s arms. ""Like you would. If there is a day that you don"t run around and look for that stuff, sigh. I wouldn"t mind cuddling more in this cozy bed.""

Kendra snubbed her nose a bit and winked at her. ""Soon the two of you will change again to original forms... I guess your wedding is not far away. Heeehehehehe. So cuddling won"t be problem.""

Lilly suddenly opened her eyes and groaned. ""Kendra you are becoming more and more daring by day.""

""I can. I am now strong enough to say and do whatever I want. Let me be obnoxious for a while. After the two of you are married Fluffy would fight me to death if I anger you.""

Lilly sighed. ""That overprotective fool. But he would do teh same for you Kendra.""

""I know.""

Kendra stretched a little bit more and stood up with Lilly in her hands. She used water power to wash then air and firepower to dry both of them and then slowly walked out into the garden. 

She could see pompous little houses around the whole neighborhood. Only her"s was simple but elegant. The fruit trees were replanted outside in the orchard and there she left some beautiful flowers. Around the house were white paths and in mid of small garden was the small but very deep pond with fishes. But due the pond was frozen and flowers withered. But even that had a certain level of beauty in her eyes.

Actually those were all from her s.p.a.ce. The fishes were from before. Now the rivers on this island were quite clean. So they put new fishes inside the rivers. 

Its been now two moths since they came back. They were waiting for Lady Xara to give birth so they will send Isaa and Cian into closed cultivation.

Kendra sighed. Since that time so many people all over the country tried to enter the Caledon Valley. But Lord Ca.s.sian made new rules a long time ago. Only those who lived before and their families can buy house in this place. 

So an enormous amount of people looked around the Valley and tried to get married in. The problem is the Lord to stop fraudsters made even worse law. If they ever cheat on the citizen of Celadon Valley them and the whole family are kicked out and never to come back.

Unfortunately, still, things like that continued to happen. Even on such a beautiful day.

Kendra put some commoners clothes and bound her hair that got a bit longer and slowly went out. Lilly had to go to see Fluffy that lately had mood swings. 


While hse walked the street the sun just came out and small puffs of smoke came out her mouth. The snow that fell a few weeks ago was cleared from streets and she could see just here and there remnants from the snow.

Her feet took her for a walk towards the city market place. As now the everyday market is, the people came every day to teh market.

Big group of people stood in the corner of the market and commented on the ware. ""How can you sell such low-cla.s.s stuff in our city, aren"t you ashamed?""

Very skinny woman in think clothes s.h.i.+vered but had a smile on her face. ""Sorry. But I have been given permission to sell here. If you do not like it just turn your head to the other side.""

""Hey Senna. Don"t think I will not slap that dirty mouth of yours. When we were married you couldn"t stop hanging on me, now you feel bitter since I divorced you and marrie younger one?"" The good looking man actually stood there and pointed finger at her face.

She scoffed. ""Good for you. Your children are hungry and cold. But the only person to care about them is me and you still act like this. I am sorry to them to have such father as you are.""

Her ramrod back stood straight and her eyes were not showing even a bit weakness. The redness on his face stood in contrast to his pale neck. His anger exploded. He rose his hand when a young voice behind him spoke coldly.

""This is funny to watch. Such an old uncle in this city dares to hit a woman. Do you not know the law that Lord Ca.s.sian gave. If you hit her you will be punished with 50 plank strokes. Are you sure you want to ruin your back, idiot."" A young boy stood there in clean but simple clothes and looked daringly at the man.

""If he doesn"t know he won"t do it. "" He laughed icily.

""Oh. So you think our Lord is blind, deaf and dumb?"" She just wondered where does this man get his audacity from.

""If I tell you who my wife is, do you think even city Lord would touch me?"" He laughed loudly while one of the men on his side stepped back, looking in despise at him.

""I can handle many things, but do not dare to look down at our city Lord. I leave. Don"t contact me anymore. Don"t come to my house as well anymore. Disgusting."" The young man wanted to stop him before that when he wanted to hit his wife but now he got overboard.

Actually, Kendra saw it all. The despise on his face and alertness when he was going aggressive. Even if she didn"t come he would have stopped this situation. But this is good as well. she was bored and wanted to play with dumb people. He just came like per order.

A bright playful smile appeared on her face and few hidden guards that wanted to intervene had suddenly cold backs. Their commander told them when Kendra smiles brightly, somebody gets a.s.s whooped. So they hid a bit away and wanted to see the play. One even took snacks out of his pocket and shared it with everyone. Is this a football game???

Kendra almost laughed as she saw their eager expression but all she had was an even brighter smile.

""So old man, who are you and why do you bother citizens of our Caledon Valley. She still has more rights than some outsider."" She pa.s.sed him and saw some handmade baskets and toys. She looked ta toys very interested and smiled brightly at her.

""Lady, the orphanage could use your skills. Why don"t you apply there for a job?"" She took one of the interesting toys and paid her a silver coin.

""Stupid is stupid. Why would you pay such low rated stuff whole silver coin? And who I am? I am his Lords.h.i.+p the General Ani son-in-law."" He spoke proudly and c.o.c.ky.

She just blinked a few times and then winked at the woman. ""It seems you actually got divorced from your wife, right?"" 

""So what, my children are still here and if I leave they have to leave with me as well."" He held still on old law where a man had precedence over the woman.

""Oh. So the children are on Your name, but you are no more married to your wife..."" She looked at Senna meaningfully and smiled. ""On top of that, you kicked your wife out her home and brought some woman that has nothing to do with us into her home. Very honorable... indeed.""

Kendra smiled at the woman and winked. Senna finally understood, packed her stuff and was about to leave but that stupid person had to cling on her.

""Running away? You think after such humiliation I will let you?"" He held her hand with iron grip and shook her.

Such a thin person had, of course, no strength to fight a big man. From his shaking, all those toys and baskets flew out of her hand and spread around them.

On the end, he pushed her to the ground and started to step on everything she made with wicked laugh. His companions didn"t even blink an eye and helped him.

The more she tried to save teh more he laughed. On end, she trie dto save one toy he stepped on her fingers and laughed heartily as she hissed in pain. ""Hurts? Good if it hurts. Good-for -nothing..""

He was about to kick her away when cries of small children could be heard. ""Mother, mother...""

Two girls that looked the same and a boy that held their hands tried to run as fast they could. ""Father stop hitting motehr, please. "" He jumped to cover her body with his in case that man wanted to hit her again.

""You don"t see me as a father as it seems. You can call mother only my wife and not this person, do you understand?"" He shook the boy"s arm as he tried to pull him off his mother.

""No, such father I do not want. If I didn"t promise her that I won"t hurt her I would have killed you long ago."" His eyes burned in hatred as he stared at the person that called himself a father.

""Oh. Try. You kill me and how long can she live without medicine I send her every moth?"" His face got close to the boy that furiously bit his lips until they bled.

The two girls stood scared on the side whole time, but when they saw their brother bleeding they wanted to hug him. Their father pushed them away and they fell heavily on floor. Sanna was at first frozen still from all the mess but after he hurt her children over and over again she started laughing like a crazy woman.

""He do not dare but I do."" She slowly stood up as her eyes became scary.

He calmly looked at her changes and then at the two girls. ""I die, you die and what about girls? Wanna see them dead as well?""

Her breath stocked. ""You... Don"t say... you poisoned them as well? They are your flesh and blood!!!"" The way he looked ta her confirmed her biggest fears. She fell on her knees and started sobbing while holding the two girls in her hands.

The boy just stood there motionless as all life left his little body. He as well slumped to teh floor and let his mother hugged his small body.

Just one small tear came out his eyes and disappeared as never existed.

""Interesting..."" Kendra stood there and looked at the whole tohu-wabohu. She let them say all tehy wanted to say so she could make last decision. And she was right... The small one has hidden talent... Nice indeed.

The way that the boy stood there and looked at them made the men around that person angry. ""You are quite a nosy one. Aren"t you?""

Kendra pouted lightly and then gave a big smile. ""Yep... That"s me. But those that made me nosy usually end hurt, badly. Are you really willing to get hurt?""

One of the men was a burly guy that stretched his hand to show his muscles, but Kendra just shrugged. ""Big muscles, small brain...and other things as well....hahhahaaa.""

But then stopped as she saw the perplexed face Sanna gave her. ""Sorry. I was rude."" She bowed lightly as she came to help her up.

""Let"s go to the main office and report him. I will be your witness. There you will get ALL the help you need."" She lightly smiled at the woman and she understood.

She held Kendra"s hand and then picked up teh girls in her hands. ""Alex, let"s go. Today is last day you will see this man, are you angry at your mom?""

Alex sighed. ""Mother, you and sisters..."" But saw a big smile on Mother"s face and knew she had planned. ""I do not wish to be connected to this person ever again. To call him my father makes my insides burn. I am willing to be just your son.""

The man and his companions just laughed and followed them. ""Let"s see who will win and who will get hurt."" Then he turned to one of the men. ""Go ask my father-in-law and my wife to come.""

He had a cold smile on his face all the way to the main office. 

On the way there those that knew Kendra saw her face and was intrigued... There will be some fun waiting...
