In Dion's bedroom, he looked at the red moon in the sky. Seeing the moon closely resemble Esther's eye color, it reminded him of those memories.

Many years ago.........

When Dion was born and named by Lord Lant, he was aware earlier than other babies. Every time Madam Maria, his biological mother, holds him, it feels very uncomfortable.

"Oh my god, why are you so upset?" - Madam Maria

The door of the room opened, and Dion glanced at the person who entered it, a young girl with pink hair. The young girl put her hand on her chest and bowed.

"Hello Madam Maria, what's wrong with you calling me?" - Esther

"Esther, you're finally here. Hurry up and see my son, he looks like his father, doesn't he?" - Madam Maria

Esther approached, and for the first time Dion saw her beautiful face, the features that attracted him were her ears, hair, and blood red eyes.

"Young Master Dion is just like Lord Lant, he will become a great man in the future, Madam Maria" - Esther

"Then I will give this child to you. I have to go for a walk, it's like being imprisoned here. It's uncomfortable" - Madam Maria

After giving Dion to Esther and walking away, she looked down at the child in her arms.

"It's okay, I'm not cold-blooded or heartless like the young master's parents" - Esther

Dion felt so comfortable and warm in Esther's arms that unlike his mother, it was really uncomfortable.

3 years later......

Dion is 4 years old, he is going to the flower garden with Madam Maria to join the tea party as usual. They accidentally met Esther walking in the hallway, Esther bowed and Madam Maria smiled friendly.

"What a coincidence, Esther. Would you like to join us for tea today?" - Madam Maria

"Madam Maria, forgive me, right now I'm busy so I can't attend. In five minutes, I'll have a training session for the eldest son. Then there's a test for the servants." - Esther

"It's a pity, isn't it? Is it okay if you're always so busy?" - Madam Maria

"Madam Maria don't worry about me, anyway I'm older and have a lot of experience plus health, so these petty things are normal" - Esther

Esther left quickly, Dion was curious about her true identity at that time.

At the age of 6, it is the age of learning in the tradition of the Agriche family. Since in Agriche, only Esther was the tutor, but running a lot of the business here, Dion felt more and more strange about Esther.

The first time Dion entered Esther's room, there were so many bookshelves and documents that almost filled the entire room. Dion saw Esther sitting next to a long desk, holding a math book in her left hand and writing an essay in her right hand without looking, and as soon as she saw him, Esther closed the book and cleaned everything up.

"Welcome, young master Dion. Today is your first class, so I will teach you the basics of the lesson. My name is Esther, just call me Teacher Esther!"- Esther introduced herself

He glared at Esther with bloodshot eyes believing he would frighten her, but instead Esther smiled.

"Young master Dion, your killing intent isn't enough to scare me. If you want to know what murder is, I'll show you" - Esther

As soon as she opened her eyes, Dion was overwhelmed by a terrible wave of killing intent, her normal blood red eyes as usual, they became the eyes of a real devil. Dion felt his esophagus rise and vomit on the floor, Esther gathered her killing intent and she wiped Dion's mouth with a towel.

"Young Master Dion, I'm sorry to scare you. I shouldn't have done that because you're still a child" - Esther

"How......"- Dion

"Hm?"- Esther

"How......you got that horrible killing intent"- Dion

"How should I say it? For example, when you hate someone, you'll give off a killing intent strong enough to make others panic. If this were said more clearly, you wouldn't understand, because you have to learn it slowly. "- Esther

So Dion began to follow what Esther taught him, and as time went on, he always got high marks in tests and practice. Like most siblings, he couldn't beat Esther in the month-end test. Dion gradually values ​​Esther more, because for him she is not only a tutor but also a friend, a second mother. But that didn't make Dion feel right.

One day, Dion went to see Lord Lant because he knew that his father was always in the office when he was free. As soon as he entered, he didn't even look at his son.

"It's best this isn't a stupid question, or else get out" - Lord Lant

"I want to know about Teacher Esther, Father"- Dion

"Are you interested in that creature?" - Lord Lant

He didn't say anything but just nodded.

"That creature, originally not a human, but a Spirit. It looks so young, but it's actually more than a hundred years old!" - Lord Lant

Hearing those things made Dion extremely surprised by the truth. All this time, he'd always thought of Esther as just a young girl who just did the job she was assigned to do. But no, Esther was a real fully grown woman, several hundred years older than his mother. Now he understood why Esther had always considered him one of the children she raised, simply because the age difference was unusually large.

"Young master Dion, are you okay?" - Esther

Dion woke up from his thoughts, it was now Esther's class, and at this moment his mind was a mess of thoughts. He didn't know what to say to the person opposite him.

"Got top grade again today, well done, young master Dion" - Esther

"Teacher Esther, can I ask a question?" - Dion

"You're welcome" - Esther

"Really......how many people have you married?"- Dion

"Pfff!!!"- Esther spit out tea

"Teacher Esther!" - Dion

"What kind of strange question is that?"- Esther wiped the tea from her mouth

"Because...... my father said Teacher Esther is a Spirit that has lived for more than a few hundred years. So I'm curious to know...." - Dion

"Actually, I've never had a husband. I've never married anyone!" - Esther

"Really......I mean why?"- Dion

"Young master Dion, do you know what the difference is between a Spirit and a normal human?" - Esther

"What is that?"- Dion

"It's longevity, young master"- Esther

She stood up and put the book on the shelf, took out another book and placed it on the table when Dion approached to look.

"Longevity?" - Dion

"Look here, this is a human whose maximum lifespan is 100 years. But Spirit is a special species that doesn't have a lifespan but can still be killed. When love happens between two kind. The immortals will suffer and be lonely when they see the one they love die. Meanwhile, themselves have to continue living and are tormented in despair. That's why, I never loved or get married for a few hundred years, but maybe in the future someone will make me change my mind?" - Esther

"...."- Dion

"It's almost time for the next person's class, young master Dion, please go" - Esther

Dion sat in his room thinking about what Esther had said, he wondered what his strange feelings were for Esther. Suddenly he saw the figure of someone running into the forest, although he was told not to go out at night, but he wanted to find out.

So he followed the footsteps left by that person, the more he followed, the further he went from Agriche's mansion. When he saw that the footprints stopped in a large gap where a black cloak was, he picked it up and sniffed it.

"This smell......is the smell of roses that Teacher Esther used to keep in her room...." - Dion

"Young Master Dion......Why are you here?"- Esther
