Rosie walked through the palace, looking around curiously, Roxie following her with a smile on her face. Maids passed by them, a few eyeing the child before speeding up and hurrying away. Roxie glared daringly at the maids, keeping them from saying anything bad about the child while in her presence. Rosie tugged on the womans dress, keeping her attention. "Roxie, can we go outside?"Rosie asks looking up at her nanny, Roxie smilig down at her. "You sure?" Noah walked over, looking down at her, carrying something. She looked up at him surprised, since she's barely seen him around ever since she arrived here in the palace. Roxie bowed behind her, showing respect towards the male. "I can take you, if you so wish"Noah offers. He kneeled down, wrapping a reddish pink elbow length cloak around her. She stared, her eyes wide in surprise. "My first gift for you...it has a few spells on it.."Noah says patting her head. She stared up at him stunned, her gaze then travelling down to the cloak around her, gently touching the smooth fabric. Was it okay to accept this? It looked expensive to make. She perked up, noticing her father had picked her up.

"Roxie...."Noah says his eyes narrowed, looking suspicious. "Yes, your majesty?"Roxie says bowing her head again. "Are children supposed to be this light? I forgot to ask.."Noah questions. Rosie blinked, Noah lifting her up into the air then lowering her down before lifting her up again. "She's so light...."Noah mutters. Light? Was she really that lightweight? She's never noticed before. What was going through her fathers head. Was he gonna send her back or leave her on the streets because she didn't fit his ideal weight. "No, many children are usually heavier than Rosie your majesty..."Roxie answers. Noah narrowed his eyes, lifting Rosie up and down in the air again as if he were testing if she really was too light for his liking. "Some can also fear heights, my prince"Roxie asks. The man froze and held the startled child close. Rosie smiled at her nanny, mentally praising her for the help. Roxie was like a saint! Her nanny saved her. "Roxie....feed her until she can't eat anymore food..."Noah orders suddenly. Rosie stared at the man in alarm, Roxie looking equally startled. Was he trying to kill her through food, what was he thinking?! Her being light was really that bad to him.

He looked down at her, placing a hand on her back. "Eat lots, so you can get heavier..."Noah says. Was that an insult or was that concern? She couldn't tell because of the mans stoic expression. It seemed like concern rather than rudeness or that could just be her brain playing mind tricks on her. Noah frowned, now looking uncomfortable. "She's too light..."Noah says. He set her down, Rosie blinking in surprise. "Roxie, take her to the garden..."Noah orders quietly. He walked away, leaving the two alone in the hall. "Did I do something wrong..?"Rosie asks. "His majesty is just worried about you, princess, you're lighter than most kids, so it concerns him greatly.."Roxie explains. Rosie stared at her nanny, not believing it for a second. Her mother hid her from that man when she was just a baby. There was a reason for her to be taken away, a reason why Noah wasn't supposed to be with her. Yet, at the same time she felt relieved that him worrying about her might be the case. "..lets just go outside.."Rosie mutters looking down at her feet. She held Roxie's hand, keeping her head bowed.

Noah sat in his and Tessia's formerly shared room, his leg bouncing as he stared at the cup in front of him dinging his agitation disturbing. Rosie was too light, even though Erik said he feeds her which was no doubt a lie since when he picked her up the day he found her it surprised him with how quick and easy it felt. He had forgotten to ask Roxie, who was a sister of two girls, if children were supposed to be so light like that because he had been busy making sure things were prepared for Rosie. He had toys that were supposed to arrive tomorrow, alongside dresses, jewelry and books. Yesterday he had went to Erik's place and forced information about Rosie out of him, the childs likes and dislikes, any allergies, etc. He knew Rosie didn't trust him, he could see it in the childs eyes, just like he was able to in Tessia's eyes before she vanished on him with their child. "Rosie..."Noah mumbles looking towards his room window. Tessia never explained what her nightmare was about the day before she ran off.

All he knew was that she had a nightmare about something happening to their child and took off not too long after the girl had been born. He didn't expect Tessia to leave their daughter with Erik, who was a terrible man but both of Tessia's parents were killed by an assassin before he convinced her to come live with him, leaving her brother to run the household. "Did I do something..."Noah wonders out loud leaning back in his chair. He closed his eyes and sighed, touching his head, feeling a headache come on. Tessia and Rosie both looked so similar, the same orange red hair, pinkish red eyes..that same look of fear whenever something happens. Rosie was a carbon copy from head to toe, nobody would've believed she carried royal blood through her veins. What's more is Rosie's a half-blood, because many hadn't approved of Noah's relationship with Tessia since she and her family were outsiders and it made life tough to live for them. Yet Tessia was head strong and spoke her mind about anything that seemed wrong, which was also the reason why she didn't have many friends. "Prince Noah!!" He looked over, Roxie running over to him. "What's wrong?"Noah asks. "ROSIE COUGHED UP BLOOD!!"

Rosie laid in bed, dried blood by the corners of her lips, Noah rushing into the room with wide eyes. She coughed up more blood, fear bolting through him at the sight. "What's happening, why is she coughing up blood?!"Noah demands looking at the palace healers. "I don't know, she's healthy and everything seems alright!" Noah lifted Rosie's head so she didn't choke on the blood, his hands trembling. He pressed a finger to her chest, purple smoke coming out. "She can use magic..."Noah stared. He flinched and touched his head a splitting headache hit him, the image of him strangling a fourteen year old Rosie flashing vividly in his mind, a frightened Tessia trying to stop him. "Mister." He froze, Rosie staring at him looking curious. He stared down at her, an expressionless look on his face. "She's fine now...I'll leave first..."Noah says. "M-Mister!" He turned, Rosie leaping out of bed. He dropped to one knee, catching her with a single hand the moment the child fell forward. "Are..are you alright, Rosie.."Noah mutters. She stared up at him, nodded and flinched in surprise when he picked her up. "Take her.."Noah orders handing the child to Roxie. "I'll be busy tomorrow"Noah mutters leaving the room.

The door swung shut behind him, Noah standing in the hall silently. He punched the wall, his eyes wide. "Tessia, you idiot..why didn't you tell me.."Noah demands narrowing his eyes. He looked at his trembling hand, having never been this afraid since the day Tessia had went missing. He sighed, wondering what he should do now. He couldn't send Rosie back, he didn't want her to leave his sight but he also didn't wanna bring harm to her both directly and indirectly. He most definitely couldn't avoid her entirely, he'd run into her at some point. "Prince Noah." He turned, finding Roxie walking over with a piece of paper. "The princess made this, she wants you to have it"Roxie smiled. She passed the paper to him, Noah staring at a drawing of Rosie holding his hand, a small 'thank you' written in the corner of the page. "I told her you stabilized her and she immediately made something to thank you"Roxie smiled. Noah nodded and walked away, staring at the drawing. He raised his free hand, rubbing his chest, feeling darker for some reason.

Rosie sat in bed, silently drawing, Roxie giggling as she watched the girl. A knock came from the room door, the two raising their heads. "Come in!"Roxie calls. A black haired man walked in, looking at them both. "I'm to be Princess Rosie's personal guard..Prince Noah assigned me to her..with the threat of cursing me if I failed.."The man greets. Rosie blinked in surprise, since she's never had someone to guard her before, this was gonna be something entirely new to her. Back at her uncle's house, she'd usually take the hits for everyone else whenever there was trouble, nobody ever really took hits for her because nobody liked her and she was a better shield than others because she was a child. "Name, mister personal guard?"Roxie asks narrowing her eyes at him suspiciously. "Lucifer"The male responds red eyes staring them both down. He walked over and bowed his head, startling her. "I'm at your service princess, do not be afraid to depend on me.."Lucifer smiled. She held out her flower drawing, the guard perking up. His hand raised, taking the drawing from her. "Gift!"Rosie smiled liking this man. He stared at the drawing and chuckled. "Thank you, I'll carry this with me always"Lucifer smiled.

Lucifer and Roxie watched the girl draw, hovering over her with small smiles on their faces. "What's this one?"Lucifer asks pointing to the drawing. "A snail with diamonds, I had a dream about it once back in uncles house!"Rosie beamed. "Wow! It's stunning"Lucifer smiled making a mental note to tell Noah about this later. "How'd you get picked to be the princesses personal guard?"Roxie asks. Lucifer smiled nervously, remembering how Noah blasted down guards with magic to see who'd still be standing at the end of it. "He said I have the qualities of a good guard, and that I should care for her highness well"Lucifer responds telling a version of the truth. Roxie gave him a look, but didn't press any further. Lucifer mentally sighed in relief, a bit embarrassed about the whole ordeal. "When can I get out of bed?"Rosie asks. "In a week, princess"Roxie answers. The doors opened, maids walking in with at least six trays of food. "It's lunch already"Roxie says surprised. Rosie stared in complete shock having hoped Noah was kidding about feeding her until she couldn't eat anymore. All this food brought in, she really had to eat it all?!! This man was really trying to kill her.
