Chapter 274 Resolve to Fight

Aldrich looked around his Boundary and took in a deep breath, nostalgia washi+ng over hi roos, his father's comics, all of the warm memories associated with it all welled up in his heart

This was a good place And he could thank one little girl for all of it

"Father?" Chrysa whispered out, her voice still shaky with sleep She sat on the couch, in front of the telescreen She rubbed her eyes, wiping away sparkling tears of sleepiness

"How are you feeling?" Aldrich sat down beside her

"I' her hands together in pensive gesture "I' scared"

"It's fine" Aldrich patted Chrysa's head, and she started to smile "It's fine to be scared in a situation like that We were in a fight, a real fight, and you probably couldn't handle the stress"

"Nuh-uh" Chrysa shook her head defiantly "The loud boo didn't scare me!" Her smile tipped upside down into a frown "It was…it was…"

"Go on You can tell me"

Chrysa side eyed Aldrich "Promise you won't talk to me mean?"

"Of course I promise"

"You also pro that proood tiet in the way of it"

"Okay" Chrysa took in a deep breath, psyching herself up, then confessed "I wasn't scared of the fight, I was scared of you, father"

Aldrich blinked "Me?"

Chrysa nodded "Not you you, because seeing father always makes me happy, but what you wanted frohts and big sounds first happened, but not for too long!

I thought about fighting and using what I learned from Meddy, but I didn't know if you wanted that Because you didn't want ot confused, and that made me more scared, and then, and then, I fell asleep"

"I see" Aldrich put his hand on Chrysa's head again in a cootten overwhel, but because she did not knohat to do, and that confusion only ht even worse

The Death Lord had been right Aldrich had coddled her too ht No, he had actively tried to shi+eld her froer ca, and that shut her down

It was easy for people to freeze up in intense situations Aldrich had only made that reaction worse
