"Otousama are you okay?" Sylvie asked her father, Claude.

"Everything is okay sweetie. How about you go get some rest, you must've been tired coming all the way here." Claude said as he went to his room.

…

"Sweetie Sylvie. You have killed your own father by coming home… Your mother, she will burn me at the stakes tomorrow…" Claude muttered to himself as he held his forehead with both hands.

Tears started to drip down his face as he opened a cabinet taking out a piece of paper and a quill with ink. He then started to write his will before putting it in an envelope directing it to Sylvie. He was prepared for his death tomorrow, as he knew there was no way he could escape from Laura.

After he finished writing his will, he hid it carefully. He then went to sleep while having nightmares of what would happen to him tomorrow.

…

"Okaasan, why is otousama acting so strangely?" Sylvie asked her mother as they both looked at a crystal orb. The crystal orb was actually a spy device Laura installed into Claude's room.

Thus, they had known every single thing Claude had done just now. And also had heard everything he had just said. And now, they were watching him having a nightmare, it also looked like he was having a seizure on his own bed.

"Your father is always a weird man. Don't worry though, you won't be seeing him anymore tomorrow." Laura said as she stroked Sylvie's head.

"Why won't I be seeing otousama anymore tomorrow?" Sylvie asked Laura.

"Ah, he has some very important mission to do in another kingdom. So he will be gone for a very long time." Laura made up a lie immediately without flinching.

"Oh, is that so. Oh well, I guess I'll see him in the future. I should say goodbye to him tomorrow morning." Sylvie said.

"Ah, no need to. He is leaving tonight when you're asleep." Laura said as she made up another lie on the spot while keeping her poker face.

"Oh, alright," Sylvie said.

"Let's go to sleep, shall we? It is pretty dark out now." Laura said as she carried Sylvie like a baby to her room.

"Goodnight Sylvie," Laura said as she turned off the lights.

"Goodnight okaasan," Sylvie said before she drifted to sleep.

…

"Claude, surely you're awake now right?" Laura said as she appeared by his bedside.

"..." There was no response as Claude continued to fake his sleep.

"You do know I can tell you're faking your sleep right?" Laura said as she immediately casted a fireball at him.

"AHHH!" Claude said as he immediately dodged that fireball which left a hole in his bed.

"LET'S SEE WHERE YOU CAN RUN TONIGHT!" Laura said as she made sure to make a soundproof barrier in Sylvie's room before she went all out on Claude.

"I AM SORRY! FORGIVE ME ALREADY LAURAA!" Claude shouted as he ran out of the Martel's mansion with Laura chasing him throwing fireballs, waterballs, icicles, and lightning.
