Your father is the Lord of Hongyuan.

There was no other way to say it, really. Jia Baoyu, the precious “jade” of Daguanyan had become the Family Hierach upon his assassination of Ishmael with the Mao Branch. He then adopted you, a former member of the Kong family, one of, if not the last surviving member. He had bestowed upon you a new surname that you will use after his task is completed. The family name of “Jia”. You haven’t officially been adopted yet due to the assassinations that will come your way if you do.

And from there, the War of the Wings began.

You didn’t know much about what was going on, as your father had his servants take you to a remote location deep in the Backstreets of H Corp. You had plenty of room, but your father couldn’t visit without taking precautions. And that only happened once every blue moon, so practically never. However, he did place a couple of Heishou onto you, namely an Adept from the Mao Branch named Faust, and 2 soilders from the Si Branch, Gregor and Rodya you think their names were, but they always patrol outside of the penthouse you were given.

The penthouse was actually inside a large, abandoned building, beneath it was a parking garage. Quite unlike the rest of the buildings in Hongyuan, but it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. You often go down there to talk and hang out with the 2 Si Branch members there.

Like last night, you played a small drinking game that you had challenged Gregor to, and you ended up shitfaced. Faust dragged you to your bed.

And so... you awoke, with Faust kneeling in front of your face. Your eyes widened, you were a bit frightened to see her face as soon as you woke.

“Pardon me, Young Master, I was only checking to make sure you were still alive. I had gone out for a moment.”

H-How long is a moment? And how long have you been there?

“I stepped out for 10 minutes to check on the Si Branch Heishou that are downstairs. We had a nice conversation about the appearance of your father last week. Also, I have been here for approximately 4 hours, 57 minutes, and 20- Ahem 22 seconds now.”

You were... watching me sleep?

“...Yes.”

...Did you sneak into the bed again?

“...Faust doesn’t have to answer that, does she?”

She does.

“...Then yes, I snuck in. You were drunk, so it was quite easy to slip in under the covers unnoticed.”

Oh, yes. For some reason, this hare will not leave you alone for more than 10 minutes. She is always at your side, even insisting that she enter in places that she shouldn’t be... You can’t tell if she has any motives or not due to the constant lack of any sort of emotion on her face. Maybe it’s signaling the lack of boundaries that she is so dense to.

Other than her... clinginess, she’s quite diligent. She’ll often pick up anything that you need, going into the Backstreets to get it. Sometimes, when she can’t, Rodya or Gregor will do it, but it’s occasionally Faust.

“Young Master? Would you like breakfast? The chefs that your father has sent here have almost finished preparing it. The tray is already outside, I can spoon feed you if you’d like.”

That’s unnecessary...

“...Hmph.”

She’d bring the tray in, rolling it beside you. “Go on, eat.” Is she... upset?

“Yes, I am. Didn’t you see me pout?”

Well, yes, but why?

“...I may not be your parent but I am still your guardian, entrusted by your father, Jia Baoyu, but...”

...But?

“...Faust wants to dote on you, Master, is it okay if this hare cherishes you like you’re her own?”
