Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen

Chapter 10

"It seems like I've been turning dull and gray that my own subordinate became brave enough to

dictate to me what I am supposed to do?"

Zero instantly knelt on the floor and bowed on it. "Punish me however you see fit, my lady. This

subordinate is very wrong."

Veronica was no longer surprised by Zero's utmost loyalty. In fact, she knew too well of the extent

of his loyalty that she could even rely her life on him. In Spite of the hierarchical relationship between

them, she considered Zero as her younger brother, actually almost a son, if not for the fact that she's

only five years older than him.

She found him extremely adorable everytime she praised him for a job well done, the look in his

eyes reminds her of a dog wagging his tail for his owner. After all, Zero never experienced any motherly

love and her being a mother to her twins, her maternal instinct kicked in every time she's around with

Zero to the point that she starts seeing him with dog ears and wagging tail.

She can't tell anyone and absolutely not Zero that what forced her to saved him from a sure death

three years ago was aside from her recognizing him as her fellow Country P people, her sudden

maternal instinct kicked in after seeing the innocent glow in his eyes like that of a child waiting for a

wished to be granted, however in his, is his death.

"Zero," Veronica squatted in front of him and ruffled his hair, "after you stabilize everything with our

force, you can use all the resources available to look for your origin."

"Lady?"

"I know that you also suspected that you're a person of Country P. I do suspect as well if we are to

consider your facial features."

"I do not wish to find my origin Lady. Just to be beside you and protect you is my ultimate mission

in life."

"It's a task. And be sure to do all things necessary. If I ever find out that you do not take it seriously,

when I am to return back to Country R, I will leave you here and would never allow your entry back, not

until you would be able to find your own origin." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"But lad-"

"Is that clear?" Veronica said sternly.

"Yes lady." Zero was hesitant but had to agree unwillingly because that's what his lady's asked him

for.

"Now call Nueve."

"Lady?"

"Too much curiosity Zero. Didn't you advised earlier that you think it'll be best for me to have

someone around?"

Zero was delighted and his eyes glowed. Veronica took a great amount of self control not to

pinched Zero's nose. Oh goodness, she could clearly see Zero's fluff ears and tail wagging back at

her.
