Chapter 81
Alex was in deep sleep, his body was aching all over, but because of his training over the years, this level of pain was nothing to him. While asleep Alex's body was slowly but surely repairing itself, every cell in his being, was trained for battle, so lagging behind wasn't really an option. He continued to sleep knowing his dad was on the job.
...
Lilitth finally woke up after suddenly fainting. She was a bit disoriented and the last thing she remembered was being controlled while fighting the kind Onii-san, did she lose? If so why isn't she dead?
She then looked at the room, she was in. It was a different room, from the one she used to stay at.
'Wait a minute... ' Lilitth finally noticed that she was able to move her body with her own free will. The lonely little girl started crying.
"So that wasn't a dream, it was all real." She finally remembered the question that was given, and the final words she heard at the end.
From this day forth you are the daughter of Carlo Samarita, and the little sister of Alexander Samarita, from today onwards you are Lilitth Samarita. Those were his words, so from this day forth, the weapon Lilitth has died, and Lilitth Samarita is born.
Lilitth who couldn't stop from crying was smiling at the same time."Why? Why can't I stop crying? This is suppose to be a happy occasion... So why don't my tears stop falling?" Lilitth couldn't understand what was happening to her body, there wasn't anything wrong with her body, but even thought there wasn't anything wrong she couldn't stop the tears from falling.
Wasn't one suppose to smile in such a happy occasion? She couldn't understand, but she was sure that her tears were falling because she was happy. It was then that Lilitth finally noticed that she wasn't alone in the room.
A man who seem to look like he was in his forties appeared. He smelled of blood and gunpowder, same as that kind Onii-san, still Lilitth didn't feel threatened by the man.
The man who saw her crying, made a serious look."Why are you crying my daughter?" Lilitth was startled by what the man said, his daughter? Then she remembered what the kind Onii-san said, she was now the little sister of Alexander Samarita, that must be the Onii-san, then the man in front of her was.
"Carlo Samarita?..." Carlo seeing the crying little girl confused, made something inside Carlo snap.
"No that's not how you should address me! You are now officially my daughter Lilitth Samarita, and I am your father so you should call me Daddy, Papa, or Tou-chan take your pick!"
Lilitth looked at Carlo stunned by his sudden outburst, and she unconsciously called him "Tou-chan?..." The girl with her teary look, and tilted head, coupled with her doll like face, saying those lines to Carlo, made him feel like he got hit by 50 BMG - 750 grain AP.
"Say that once more my daughter!" Lilitth who was surprised by Carlo's enthusiasm, repeated her words, still confused.
"Tou-chan"
When Carlo heard that line again, coupled with the cute look of Lilitth, the attack power was devastating. The merc called the Messenger of Death, stood still and took a pic of his daughter, using his phone, and immediately made it his wallpaper.
'If I knew having a daughter, was like this, I should've tried getting one years ago. ' Carlo started having weird thoughts as if having a daughter was like buying some bread in a bakery.
"Yes, your tou-chan is here now. So please stop crying... Okay?" Carlo sat beside Lilitth, on her bed. He then proceeded to wipe her tears, while smiling at her. Lilitth who felt his affection was overwhelmed and started crying again.
Carlo who thought that she had finally calm down, was shocked by her suddenly crying again. Carlo who started to panic, confused as to what to do. The Messenger of Death, able to be calm in any and all battle situations was actually panicking right now, in front of a crying little girl. If only the other mercs who fear him, can see him now.
"Is... It... Alright?..." Carlo could hear Lilitth saying something, but her voice was too soft, that he could hardly hear it.
"What is alright? What do you need Lilitth, just tell your tou-chan and I will give you whatever you want. So please stop crying, okay?" Lilitth who heard Carlo's words, started crying even louder, and then she suddenly hugged him.
Carlo a bit surprised by the sudden hug, as well as finally learning of the little girl's insane strength, Carlo endured it, and hugged her back.
"Is it really alright?! Is it really alright for me to be happy?! Can... Can... I really have this warmth? Am I really allowed to be your daughter? Can I stop being a weapon?! Am I really... Am I Really allowed to be his little sister?! Please tell me!" The desperation in her voice, the fear, the sadness, it made Carlo hugged her even tighter.
Carlo felt extremely angry, he wanted to find out who the hell made his cute little daughter be like this, he wanted to crush his body and his soul. He wanted to tear the body of the one who did this limb per limb.
When he was attacked by that psycho, Carlo didn't feel anything except he needed to counter attack. But now when he heard the words of his daughter, he wanted nothing more that to find that b*stard who did this, and kill him a thousand times. Carlo was now truly motivated to find the fool who dared mess with his family.
Carlo then patted Lilitth's back and gently spoke to her."Of course, it's alright. You are no longer a weapon. You are Lilitth Samarita, the daughter of Carlo, and the little sister of Alexander. WE are now family, so be sure to be happy as much as possible."
Lilitth who heard Carlo's answer hugged him even tighter. She then wiped her tears away and with a sniffle she looked at Carlo. She finally smiled a beautiful smile and spoke to her father.
"Thank you... Tou-chan."
