Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Damien words that were about to come out got stuck in his mouth as he realized whose voice it was.

"You never gave me a single bite of that thing!!"

Max exclaimed loudly as he moved towards Damien with grudge-filled eyes.

Lily who was walking behind Max, along with Grace, scanned the compartment swiftly until her eyes found Alex sitting where he was when she went out.

Her eyes brightened as she exclaimed, "You are still here, big brother!"

Alex turned his eyes toward Lily and a smile automatically graced his lips.

He just couldn't stop himself from smiling as Lily's smile was just that infectious.

"Hm? Did you think I would go back on my words, little girl?"

Alex questioned with a tease.

"No…. -wait!" Lily started with a smile but then she paused as Alex's last words registered in her brain.

"I'm not a little girl!!!" She exclaimed with a pout as she turned her head to the other side.

"Oh? Did I say, 'little girl'? My bad, I wanted to say, 'cute girl'."

Alex corrected himself with a thoughtful look.

Lily's eyes brightened, but she wasn't that easy to fool.

"Really?" Lily squinted her eyes, looking at Alex with suspicion as she placed her hands on her waist like a haughty young mistress.

"What? You don't think that you are cute?" Alex asked with a fake astonished expression.

"Huh? No, I am cute, I know that!" Lily quickly defended herself.

"Then why do you not believe me, I said the same thing, didn't I?" Alex asked with an innocent look while smirking inwardly.

"Yes…." Lily nodded in agreement, but she was a bit confused as she felt like she was being played.

Alex on the other hand smiled as he saw Lily who was standing right in front of his seat place her hand on her chin with a thoughtful expression.

'I want to say that this thoughtful expression doesn't look good on her, but damn, she looks cute in every expression,' Alex sighed inwardly when suddenly his vision blanked for a moment.

He arrived in an area filled with nothing but greenery, plants, and trees everywhere.

There were many cute animals running around, but somehow, Alex who was seeing this scene felt that those animals were far from ordinary, especially the white stag with golden horns that was looking at him with its eyes squinted.

'Did it discover me?' Alex thought as he felt like the stag was looking at him, rather than whoever this body belonged to.

'Wait a second, where am I in the first place?' Alex thought but then he heard a sweet, gentle, and childish voice filled with complaints from his side as he felt a tug on his arm.

"Quit spacing out, big brother, you said you would give your whole day to me!"

Alex wasn't in control, he couldn't move the body, but he somehow felt like this was how it should be.

He wasn't feeling uncomfortable or anything, all he was feeling was the power running through his body right now, and that power...

'I won't be able to survive a breath of this body...' Alex muttered.

But then the body turned toward the source of the voice.

'Huh?' Alex exclaimed in confusion.

Alex closed his eyes and opened them again, but what he was looking at didn't change.

All he could see was a girl or a teen with the body of someone the age of 14 or 15. She was wearing an emerald-colored loose royal gown long enough to touch the ground.

Everything was fine, Alex could tell that she was a beautiful girl with a line of suiters ready for her to be of age so that they could ask for her hand from her father.

But the problem was that he couldn't see her face, no matter how much he tried.

One thing he could see on her face was her emerald eyes matching her gown.

Those eyes, however, somehow reminded him of Lily.

"All right, I will have all my attention on you for the rest of the day, no more spacing out."

Just then Alex heard a calm, clear, magnetic, and majestic voice coming out of his mouth.

That voice shocked Alex, because….

'Why does that voice sound so much like me?!' Alex exclaimed inwardly.

Then he saw his right-hand stretch toward the girl's head and pat her with care and love.

"Hehe…."

Alex heard a giggle but unlike the voice of the girl earlier which although childish had some wisdom hidden beneath, this giggle sounded like that of a much younger girl with little to no experience in the real world.

Alex's vision blanked again, and when his vision came back, he found himself patting Lily, who was giggling with a big smile on her face.

Long gone was her thoughtful look as right now, she felt relief, peace, care, and many more emotions from a single pat from Alex.

Alex finally realized why the voice sounded different from the one in the vision.

'Wait- the vision…' Alex felt that he was on to something, but he looked at Lily who had a wide smile on her face and he spoke.

"You know, your uncle Damien gave me a special pastry to eat, one that he never gave you," Alex whispered to Lily.

"What?!?!" Lily exclaimed in a low voice when she heard Alex's whisper.

Alex stopped patting Lily after giving a small pat and spoke again.

"See that," Alex pointed at Max and Damien who were talking, or more like Damien trying to explain himself.

Whenever Max had asked him to get a taste of the product S, Damien would strictly deny it, so seeing the same product, made Max a bit grumpy.

Max was not actually grumpy or anything, he was just trying to get Damien to get some pieces of pastries out for his family as well.

"Your father is scolding him for just that, he must be saying, 'Why did you not give the same pastry to Lily?'

You should go and ask for it as well, maybe he'll listen to you."

Alex whispered to Lily and Lily nodded with a serious expression.

'How could he not treat me to this special pastry that he gave big brother to eat?!' Lily was not happy with Damien, after all, she loved sweets.

"Uncle Damien!" Lily exclaimed and both Damien and Max who were still talking about the topic stopped and turned toward Lily.

But Damien who saw Alex smirk knew what happened.

"What's wrong, cutie pie?" Damien asked with the best smile he could muster.

He knew that he was going to make a loss from whatever Lily was going to demand, but he couldn't say no to what Lily would ask for, after all, he cared for Lily just like he would for his own daughter.

"I want the special pastry that you gave the big brother as well!" Lily demanded and her face literally said, 'I dare you to say no!'

"…. Yes, I will get it right away," Damien sighed before he gestured to Jamial with three fingers out and Jamial just nodded his head and went in to bring three more pastries.

Jamial knew it was not his place to speak, and although he wanted to have a taste of those pastries as well, he knew his place.

"Hahaha…." Max laughed as he saw Damien standing with his shoulders slumped.

He just patted his back before he went to his seat and sat there, waiting for the best pastry he had ever seen to arrive.

Damien might look depressed on the outside, but he was quite happy inside.

'I would've sold them anyway, after all, they won't be my best products after a while.'

Damien muttered inwardly with a smile as he secretly pushed the markup given by Alex in his pocket.
