When Evan shifted the conversation back to Finley and Ainsley, even the quiet fairy, Percival, couldn't help but look at Finley with sparkling eyes. 

Yes, gossiping nature ran inside this family's blood. 

Finley suddenly felt the need to run away, not wanting to tell his dad about Ainsley, afraid that he would adopt her or something. However, to borrow a force from his dad or use his own force, he had to get his dad's permission. 

After all, he's still 8 outside and not even his dad knew that he went back in time. 

"Uh...if you ask why I want to accompany Ain...simply because I'm worried?" Finley chose a rather mild answer as not to arouse his dad's curious nature. But what he said became a boomerang instead. 

"What kind of relationship makes you feel so worried for someone until you want to go to the town that is 3 days away from the estate and is full of danger?" Evan rolled his eyes at Finley's innocent answer. 

"Fin, tell me, what do you think of Ainsley? It can't be that you two are only friends, right?" 

"Dad!" Finley instantly reacted as if someone stepped on his tail. 

"Ain is only 3, okay? What kind of beast am I to have any indecent thoughts about her aside from friendship?" For a moment, the boy's face flushed red a bit.

"And I'm only 8 this year. We are still kids, okay? Our relationship is purely a good friend! A partner!" 

"A partner? Is it not you being that girl's nanny? After all, she's only 3. What can she do to be your equal? Nothing much." Evan subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows. 

It's not that he belittled Ainsley, but the reality was cruel. His son got so many fake friends wanting to latch on him because of the Walter Family's prestige. As his father, he had to make sure his son never fell for those snakes. 

How could Finley not know what his father was pointing out when the guy already looked as if he ate a sour lemon? Finley inhaled deeply before sighing. 

"It's not like what you think, dad. Ain...doesn't even know that I'm the heir of the Walter family." 

"Ah? Is it because she's still 3? Make sense. Even if she's a genius that awakened four abilities at such an early age, she should still be rather naive–" 

"Mmm, no, dad. Ain is smarter than kids her age, so she should already know about the power hierarchy of the mafia world." Finley shook his head. He suddenly put on a bitter smile while scratching his cheek. 

"It's just that...I meet her under another identity…." 

"Oh? You disguise yourself?" 

"No, no. She saw me before, so I can easily use my current appearance. But...I lied to her." Finley stuck out his tongue when he muttered the last part. 

"You lied to her? How? Don't tell me you make use of your appearance similar to a fairy and say you're a royal fairy or something…" 

Evan laughed as he threw out that fairy joke thingy, thinking that Finley would pout because he never liked to be called a 'fairy' before. 

However, contrary to his belief, his son suddenly nodded weakly. 

"Hahaha...yeah. I told her I'm a library fairy, Chronos's brother." 

At that moment, even Percival, who was nibbling his popcorn he got from nowhere, almost choked and died. 

"What?! Fin, you told her that you're a fairy?!" Percival instantly transformed into his boy appearance and pounced on Finley. 

"But you never like it when we tease your appearance! You said that you're prettier than fairies, and it's an insult to say you're just like Chronos– " 

"Perry. If you say anything more than this, those old hags at your kingdom will skin me alive." Finley pushed Percival's face away since the fairy got too close to him. 

But even though Percival got kicked away, it didn't stop the fairy from bullying Finley. 

"Fin, did you eat a forbidden fruit or what? To think that you volunteer to say you're a fairy!" Percival burst out laughing. 

"Just...who is this Ainsley? You go as far as doing something you dislike to fool her…" 

"Ugh, at that time, when I visited the Sloan Family to greet their new family head, I saw her at the library. That's when I knew she's the new family head, so I want to tease her." 

Finley grumbled as he kicked Percival's knees, yet that didn't stop the fairy from harassing the boy. 

"And? And? How the hell do you think of impersonating a fairy?" The usually quiet oracle fairy suddenly became a chatterbox. 

Even Finley's dad, Evan, was a bit dumbfounded. 

He knew that his son was someone loved by many powerful fairies but didn't think that these two's relationship was close enough for his son to treat Percival like a mere fly…

"Geez, Perry! Why are you so curious, anyway? I thought of impersonating a fairy only on a whim! It's because of the circumstances!" Finley finally snapped. He glared at Percival, ready to punch his pretty face. 

But Percival, this dense fortune teller, ignored Finley's glare and took advantage of Chronos's absence to tease this human boy. 

"Ohhh, what circumstances? Is it because that girl likes fairy, and you thought of fooling her?" 

When Percival said this, Finley froze on the spot. He suddenly regretted saying anything to this oracle. 

It's clear that Percival just used his ability to peek into the past and already knew everything going on between him and Ainsley. 

"...dammit, Perry. You're not playing fairly." Finley gritted his teeth. He decided to ignore Percival's evil smile and went to look at his father instead. 

Let's ignore this fcking fortune teller!
