Chapter 111: Little wittle princess
Damian was walking through the battlefield in the direction towards the Dragonof camp. He was wearing a robe and had a small red haired girl clinging onto him inside the robe. Damian covered the girl's eyes since he didn't want to let the small girl witness the horrors of war and not to let her see dragons fighting and killing eachother since, she was very fond of them.
"Mr. Damian you are very strong." said the young Irene as she looked at him with glittering eyes.
"Haha, well I am the strongest there is after all. The one who stands at the pinnacle." said Damian as he happily cleaned the path in front of him while making sure that Irene don't see all that.
"...Even stronger than the dragons?" asked Irene innocently.
"Even stronger than the dragons." said Damian while nodding their heads.
"...Then why are you not stopping this war?" asked Irene.
"...I can stop the war if I want to.....but the others will start fearing me and it will make things difficult for someone I love and care..." said Damian as he ruffled Irene's hair.
"But won't all this stop if Mr. Damian take action like he told me..... wouldn't they all be happy?" asked Irene.
Damian shook his head and said, "Of course they will be happy with the end of war but they would not be happy if they themselves don't finish it. You will understand once you grow up, so don't worry about that."
Irene stared at Damian for a while before she nodded her head and buried her face in Damian's chest as he told her to do so since he don't want to show her the scene in front of her.
Damian sighed seeing Irene like that and caressed her back, he had already made a silencing barrier around them so he didn't worry about screams that would frighten the little Irene.
"...Are you alright Irene, want something to drink?" asked Damian as he saw that he may take a small break since no dragon was in his vicinity.
"Umu." said Irene and Damian put her down on the ground.
He then took out a cup of juice from his storage and then helped the girl drink.
Irene's eyes started shining in amusement as she slipped the juice. She took the cup from Damian's hands and then gulped it down on her own. She then showed the empty cup to Damian and with an expectant gaze asked, "C-Can I have some more?" with a slight blush from embarrasment on showing such a behaviour.
Damian chuckled at that and refilled her cup and told her, "No need to be that embarrased after all you are just little wittle kiddy princess."
"Hmph, I am not little. I am big!" declared Irene as she stood on her toes trying to look bigger.
"The older Irene's were bigger." muttered Damian but just smiled at the little Irene in front of him.
".... Just cover yourself with this for now, I will get you some clothes once we reach the camp." said Damian as he wiped Irene's mouth and then wrapped a towel around her body.
Irene then raised her hands asking Damian to carry her seeing which Damian smiled and then crouched down to carry her once again and hid her in his cloak.
"Stay like a good girl like before, alright."
"Umu, Irene will be good." said Irene as she clenched her small fists and nodded her head with a serious look on her face.
Damian nodded and then started walking as he continued to clear the path in front of him.
He made some small talk with the little girl to keep her entertained during his walk towards the camp much to Irene's happiness as she enjoyed talking with the man who was carrying her.
Soon they reached the camp and immediately the dragons and the other people who were there, came to greet him.
"....Lord Damian, you are early today.....Where is lady Irene?" asked one of the of the humans that were there at the camp.
Damian showed a wry smile as he opened his cloak and revealed a small girl covered in a towel with red hair.
"What do you want to do with Irene?" asked the little girl as she held Damian tighter getting cautious of the man in front of her.
Hearing that all of them looked towards the small child and immediately all the dragons widend their eyes in shock as they recognised the scent coming out of the girl.
All the dragons looked towards Damian with questioning gaze, seeing which he nodded his head and said, "... Someone who claimed to be Maka-jiji's brother ambushed us, and even though I was able to save her, the attack still grazed her and....you can see what happened." and patted Irene's head to calm the little girl down who smiled on being patted.
"Where is Rou?" asked Damian as he looked around.
"HAA!" said a dragon as he came forward.
"Roy I want you to back to the capital and call Maka-jiji here. Tell him that a dragon who claimed to be his brother messed up real bad." said Damian.
"That damn traitor Naska.....even though he is Maka-sama's brother...." muttered some of the dragons with anger.
"...scary." said Irene as she hid behind the cloak.
"Oi, stop scaring Irene." said Damian in a cold tone as he let his magic power run wild and aiming slight killing intent towards the others in the camp.
All the dragons and humans immediately stiffened up as their instincts started screaming to run away immediately. All of them stopped whatever they were doing and immediately nodded their heads.
Damian gave a nod as well and with a beautiful and calming smile looked towards Irene who was hiding in his cloak and said, "It's fine Irene, they will not scare you."
Irene raised her head and looked at the dragon who were looking at them and nodded their heads.
Irene nodded her head as well and then looked towards Damian and muttered, "Thanks."
Damian smiled and then led her to the tent appointed to them.
--------------------
Once they were inside the tent Damian put Irene on the bed and said I will get you some clothes...but before that, we need to wash you up."
He then took out a huge tub from his storage and went placed his hand over it.
A lacrima that was placed on the tub started glowing and soon water started to come out and start filling the tub.
Once it was full Damian put the naked Irene inside the tub as he got in as well and started cleaning her up.
"Hmm? What is this thick whit stuff?" asked Irene.
Damian started coughing as he heard those words from the little girl in front of him.
"I-Its a shampoo." said Damian with great difficulty to hold himself back from laughing out loud.
"Shampoo?" asked Irene with a confused tone.
"It will make your hair clean and will make you look even more beautiful." said Damian.
"Really!?!?" asked Irene with an excited tone.
Damian nodded and said, "Yes, but make sure it doesn't go in your eyes or it will hurt a lot."
Irene nodded and let Damian clean her hair as she hummed a tune.
After they were done cleaning Damian took Irene out of the bath and wiped her body.
He then took out the smallest shirt that he have and put it on Irene.
'....Well better than wearing towel I guess.' thought Damian as he looked at Irene with a slightly apologetic gaze and said, "Please deal with it for now Irene, I will get you some clothes soon."
Irene shook her head and said, "It's fine Mr. Damian, don't worry. I am happy with this...but-"
"Hmm?"
"Why is Mr. Damian being so nice to me even though it is the first time we met?"
Damian chuckled after hearing her question and flicked her forehead.
"Ouch" yelped the little girl.
"It's because I like Irene a lot." said Damian.
"Oh! Then I like Mr. Damian a lot too." said the little girl with a huge smile on her face.
