"Don''t worry about it too much. Knowing her she wille around soon. Just give her some time," ra consoled her old friend who shook her head saying, "I don''t mind. I am just happy that I get to see her grow." Clown Mask''s eyes never left the retreating figure of Cortney. Though she was a cmity daughter gem she held the highest degree of freedom a cmity daughter gem could have as such her love for Cortney was only second to her loyalty to her master, Wyatt. Therefore, when Cortney refused to even acknowledge her as her mother, let alone talk to her, it hurt a lot. Her heart felt like someone was slowly barbecuing it over a bonfire. Yet, she did not let her emotions show on her face. "Then what do you n to do now?" ra asked. She knew her friend had always been content with watching over Cortney from a distance, but she also noticed the pain her friend felt for not being a part of her daughter''s life, despite thetter choosing to conceal it. Hopefully, things will change for her now. N?v(el)B\\jnn
"I am nning to volunteer my time for the orphanage unless my new boss requires me," Clown Mask replied indifferently. As of now, Wyatt had not assigned her any task so she was basically free to do anything. "I am nning to volunteer my time for the orphanage unless my new boss requires me," Clown Mask replied indifferently. As of now, Wyatt had not assigned her any task so she was basically free to do anything. Usually, as a cmity daughter gem, Clown Mask would try to live her life for Wyatt but since he had ordered her to behave normally ording to the situation based on her judgment long ago when she was imprisoned by the Southern Royal family, right now she continued to do the same not nning to reveal her rtion to Wyatt. For now, as far as the world was concerned he had freed her from the secret prison to win a wager and to make a point, nothing more. "Excellent, it would be great to have someone like you on board with us," ra would always wee trustworthy manpower. Considering the number of kids in the orphanage, not having enough staff was always an issue. "Okay, so how can I help," Clown Mask asked nning to do something normal for once in her life. However, she knew nothing besides killing. After all, both her lifetime she has trained and served as a hound dog for the circle. "I am thinking about having you teach the older kidsbat arts. They are about to leave the orphanage soon and enter society, they could use it as self-defense even if they do not manage to awaken as card apprentices, what do you think?" ra had long nned to teach kids tobat arts as a means of self-defense believing it woulde in handy. However, she never found someone trustworthy, skilled, and free to teach the kids, until Clown Mask volunteered. "I can do that," Clown Mask readily agreed, if it was teaching kids how to fight she could do that as she had trained quite a few kids who grew up to be remarkable individuals in the Circle''s ranks. Diana Kieth was one of the exemry examples of her tutge. Seeing Clown Mask''s enthusiasm, ra was scared and hurriedly rified, "I don''t want you to turn my kids into ruthless killing machines. I just want them to be able to defend themselves if they were to get into some unfortunate incident. That is all. Is it clear?" "Are both the same?" Clown Mask asked ra in confusion, causing thetter to exim in bafflement, "No, they are not the same. How could you possibly think that self-defense and killing someone are the same?" "Well if you kill those trying to harm you, they can no longer harm you, isn''t that self-defense?" Clown Mask inquired, as someone who has only known killing for two lifetimes she really believed this to be true. After all, in her business, one only stopsing at you when they stop breathing. "Sigh, they did a number on you didn''t they, " ra looked at her friend in shock and pity. Knowing that Clown Mask was a victim of unfortunate fate she genuinely felt sorry for her but she did not believe it justified her thought process. "It''s okay," Clown Mask brushed off and asked, "When do I start?" "First, we find a suitable assistant for you. Someone who will help you differentiate between normal and not normal. To keep you on this side of the line. Otherwise, I will be worried for my kids'' safety the whole time you are with them," ra believed with a little assistance Clown Mask would be able to adjust and integrate with society making her a good instructor for the kids. "No need, I think I know what you are talking about, believe me, I have it covered. Why don''t you judge after watching my first ss with kids, what do you say?" Clown Mask understood what was trying to say and used the Hive AI in her cmity daughter gem to help her correct her behavior making her a modelbat arts instructor for kids. Back in the top secret prison, Hive AI was key to her keeping her sanity. Among all the cmity daughter gems she master the full extent of Hive AI''s abilities. "Um, okay. I will be your assistant for the first few sses and judge if I can leave you alone with the kids. When ites to the kid don''t expect me to do you any favors," ra was too busy with orphanage work to act as Clown Mask''s assistant but since it would help her friend she decided to make time. Now that she was a card apprentice, she was more energetic and able than before. So she could afford it. "Alright," Clown Mask eximed jubntly hearing ra agree to her request. Seeing her friend happy ra was happy but just then a figure appeared in the office out of thin air and grabbed Clown Mask by the neck saying, "I am sorry little girl but you areing with me."
