[1] But even with these amazing abilities, Cheshire…

RIW V1C1
T/N: I love PTCOYF but my brain needed a break. This series was on sale for <$2, only two volumes, had a 5 star rating, and from the synopsis appears to feature one of my all time favorite characters (the Cheshire Cat!) as a love interest. So…happy Halloween. Let’s see how it goes! The day…

PTCOYF V1C3-3
Lavi’s eyes widened when she saw pink hair. Akkad, whose expression had hardened while locking eyes with Rose, lowered the corners of his eyes when he made eye contact with Lavi and returned to his usual harmless expression. “Lavi, it’s been a while.” “… so, you’re aware that it’s been a while, then?” Lavi’s answer…

PTCOYF V1C3-2
T/N: Sorry for the wait, I had a kind of crisis over narrative POV. More in notes. In the unusually hot summer weather, a cool breeze blew for the first time in a long time. Lavi was looking out the window with a pleasant smile on her face. The hair that had once brushed her…

Chapter 3 Lavi, now ten years old, was writing a letter with a very serious expression. [Dear Akkad, The time you’ve spent in the territory is longer than expected. How can you not come see me for a year? You don’t want to see me, do you?] “Hmm? If I say this, do you think…

* * * “Akkad? What are you doing at this hour?” Lavi made a puzzled face when Akkad came to see her late the next day. She’d already had dinner and would be going to bed soon. His lips were pressed tightly together, and his silver-gray eyes darted back and forth as she watched him.…

PTCOYF V1C2-6
* * * “What took you so long?” Today was the first day Lavi would see Akkad in an entire week. She was sprawled out on the bed and muttering groggily. The stamina she had gained from being with Akkad had long since been depleted. Damn those sword lessons, Lavi continued muttering to herself disgruntledly.…

PTCOYF V1C2-5
* * * The Marchioness gave up trying to make Lavi another friend and left her to play alone with Akkad. She’d come to realize that Lavi’s leaving the mansion had nothing to do with making friends. “It looks like he won’t come today either.” Lavi sighed softly as she read the letter from Akkad.…

PTCOYF V1C2-4
* * * The Marchioness, shocked that Lavi ventured outside of the mansion on her own, invited the children from nearby to come over. In the garden full of flowers that her mother cherished, Lavi was sitting with an ambivalent expression on her face. There were six children around her, including Akkad: two girls of…

PTCOYF V1C2-3
* * * Lavi woke up with a gasp, feeling a cramp in her arm. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes were damp pink eyelashes. Akkad was sleeping on her arm. Lavi raised her eyebrows. There were no cuts remaining on her short, skinny arms. “Akkad.” At that time, Akkad snuggled…
