The moment Finley opened his mouth, Ainsley already had the urge to slap his face.
Miss you? your a*s! Since when you become so cheeky? Aren't you a shy, timid fairy?
Ainsley rolled her eyes in disdain. The longer she got in touch with Finnie, the more she discovered the fairy's true nature.
Finnie was not shy or timid. He's actually a two-faced, shameless fellow!
Ainsley clicked her tongue and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Yesh, Ain mish ywou! (Yes, Ain miss you!)" The baby lied without batting an eyelid. Of course, there's no smile or joy on her face. She put on a deadpan expression instead.
Finley's lips twitched at such a cold response.
C'mon, can't you at least put effort into your lie? Your beloved best friend is doing so much for you, yet you give him the cold shoulder!
Finley shook his head and sighed. "Okay, okay, I won't tease you. Anyway, have you formed a bond with Code-C?" The fairy leapt to the ground, and the wind around him vanished without a trace.
Chronos was also not there around him since the tiny fairy decided to hide inside the boy's chest pocket. With that, he could peek at Ainsley from a close distance.
Indeed, the baby was abnormally cute...she even subconsciously used her charm ability against everyone. Even a fairy like him was slightly charmed.
What a talent!
Hearing Fin's question, Ainsley's eyebrows shot up. "Nwot Code-C. Cwellino! (Not code-C. Cellino!)" The baby corrected Finley before running her fingers across the cat's head.
"Yesh, Ain dwid ith! (Yes, Ain did it!)" Ainsley nodded, affirming Finley's guess.
In that instant, Finley's eyes lit up. "That's good! Congrats~ with this, you only need to use your charm and luck ability to trigger this fellow's bloodline."
The boy couldn't help but chuckle.
"You can then directly form a contract with Cellino. I should congratulate you in advance." The boy cupped his palms together and laughed brightly.
When he laughed like that, he truly resembled an 8-year-old boy…
"Your four days of effort isn't wasted." Fin added.
Receiving a bunch of praises from the boy, Ainsley grinned as she lifted her head proudly like a peacock.
"Hwum! Twank ywou!" The baby didn't hesitate to thank Finley as she approached him. Thanks to this boy, she managed to understand Cellino's heart, thus, earning his trust.
With that, she only needed one last step to completely tame Cellino. And this step also had a high chance to succeed.
Thinking that she would get a sacred guardian as her companion soon, Ainsley became agitated. She couldn't wait to tell Grandpa Yofan and Elliana, but then, she suddenly paused.
...wait. Wait. If I don't remember it wrong...did Fin just say...four days of effort?
The baby squinted her eyes. She stopped talking for a second before looking at Finley with a grave face.
"Fwin. How mwany days Ain spwent inside Cwel's memolies? (How many days Ain spent inside Cel's memories?)" Ainsley trotted to Finley's place and looked up at the boy.
Somehow, she got an ominous feeling…
Facing the question, Finley only tilted his head. With a nonchalant attitude, the boy caressed his chin before opening his mouth.
"Oh...you have been inside Cellino's memories for four days! This is the fourth day already." Finley waved his hand, taking his words lightly.
However, his words sounded like a thunderstorm to the baby.
Boom!
Ainsley's mind exploded. The baby widened her eyes until her pupil almost jumped out.
"Foul...dways…?" Ainsley gaped. Her body trembled from head to toe.
Four days! I'm asleep for four days! Wait. Not asleep. Maybe I lost consciousness, or maybe I lost my heartbeat, looking like a dead person…
Ainsley was thrown into disarray. She hurriedly asked Finley what happened for the past four days. She didn't believe that no one wouldn't make a big deal out of her condition.
Surely there must be chaos happening in the mansion, right?
Indeed, her guess was right. Finley briefly explained what's going on, but he deliberately didn't tell the baby about the trial. He only said to her that Elliana was going to be blamed for this incident.
Once Ainsley heard that her beloved vassal would be a black sheep, the baby's eyes burned in fire.
"H-howh...Elh! Ugh!" Ainsley clenched her fists so hard that her palm almost bleed. The baby's fragile body swayed, and she almost fell if Fin didn't catch her in a hurry.
"Calm down, Ain! It's not as serious as you thought…" The fairy shook his head as he grabbed Ainsley's shoulders, trying to let her calm down.
"It's not like we can't save Elliana from getting blamed by others. Now that you're awake, you can save Elliana with your testimony." Finley gave a hint to the baby.
Of course, he wouldn't say that the trial was about to start. After all, he was sure that some maids would pass by the room and talked about it. With Ainsley's keen hearing...she would discover the situation sooner or later!
Feeling the strong grip on her shoulder, Ainsley snapped out of her fury. The baby's flushed face from anger slowly turned back to its original colour. She took a deep breath...and exhaled.
Right. It's not time to throw a tantrum. Now that I'm awake, I should save Elliana ASAP!
"Twank ywou, Fwin!" Ainsley hurriedly thanked Finley and was about to go out of the room to find Elliana when her keen ears caught several people's voices at the corridor.
"Hey, do you know that our family head's guardian, Lady Elliana, is going to face a family trial!"
"The family judgment trial? Isn't that akin to sentence her as a sinner?"
Ainsley's heart instantly skipped a beat.
A...trial?
