Weiss's expression eased up before being replaced by a hollow smile.

”Back at home, no one usually cares about me.”

Before he could react, Weiss sat in Magna's lap as if it were natural. She leaned back into him and entrusted her weight to him as she continued.

”My father pays zero attention to me and only sees me as a business opportunity while my mother just gave birth 2 years ago and has been busy taking care of my little brother ever since.”

”Now, no one pays any attention to me. When I try and draw something for them as a present, my dad throws them away without even looking at them. Then he'll berate me about 'upholding the Schnee name.' What does that even mean!?! I'm only 7 years only!”

Magna silently watched as this little girl who usually wore the look of a strong young lady broke down in tears as she unleashed all the things she had to silently suffer over her short life.

She didn't stop as she complained about how her family pressured her to live by their expectations, forcing her to become what they wanted her to be, not who SHE wanted to be. Her feelings flooded Magna's mind to the brim with all sorts of negative emotions.

He had to control himself from hugging her as he sadly thought to himself, 'She's only a little girl…'

Suddenly, her expression gradually started to lighten as she smiled and said, ”Then there's my older sister, Winter. She…”

Weiss's face brighten considerable when she started talking about Winter. From how she talked with such emotion and excitement in her voice, Magna couldn't help but smile as he knew she really loved her sister.

By the time she finished talking, Magna figured it out. When Weiss heard that Magna started training with her, she must have felt threatened because the limited time that she gets to spend with her big sister would become even shorter thanks to Magna.

When she finally finished talking, Magna noticed that she seemed to be in an extremely good mood. Lightly chuckling to himself, Magna roughly messed up her hair as he wore a wide smile and said, ”Feeling better now that you got all that off your chest?”

Weiss was slightly startled by how bright his smile seemed to be, as if it could chase away all the bad thoughts inside her. However, she had trouble expressing herself so she just softly snorted at him and said, ”No thanks to you!”

Magna only shook his head as he knew she still had trouble with being honest about her feelings while Weiss grabbed the sides of her dressed as she really wanted to say 'Thank you' but was too embarra.s.sed to say so.

Slowly, Weiss stood up from Magna's lap with a light blush on her face. Magna softly chuckled and tried to stand up when the s.h.i.+p suddenly shook.

The voice from the before bellowed across the s.h.i.+p from the as it urgently said, [Brace for impact! We are experiencing an attack from three Nevermores. Weapons will come online soon, until then, brace yourselves.]

The entire s.h.i.+p shook harshly. And Weiss, who was standing up without anything nearby to support herself, tripped and fell to the ground.

”Wah!”

”Watch out!”

Just before she hit the ground, Magna pulled her back into his chest. Unfortunately, because his arms were busy, he fell from the chair and hit the ground hard. However, even though it hurt, Magna made sure that he took the brunt, if not all the damage from the fall onto himself as he used his body to protect Weiss.

Once the s.h.i.+p stabilised, Magna collapsed onto the floor in pain. His muscle were still aching from the training, add on to that the damage he recieved from rolling around the room, protecting Weiss whenever they were about to hit a wall or chair, Magna just wanted to stay on the floor and rest.

But apparently, someone else had other plans. Weiss's hands were touching all over his body as tears fell from her eyes.

With shaking hands, Weiss softly wiped the dust and dirt from Magna's face as she softly asked, ”…Why did you protect me?”

A wide smile naturally appeared on Magna's face as he lightly said, ”Do you need a reason to protect your friends?”

His answer stunned Weiss.

'Friends? Who? Me and him?'

A small part of her wanted to glare at him and arrogantly scream, ”Friends? Don't get to full of yourself, commoner!”

But the rested of her dwarfed the small part of herself as Weiss lay his head on her lap, softly smiled and said, ”I guess you don't need a reason...”

While these two were off in their own little world, they were completely oblivious to the smirking faces watching on from behind the door.
