It's been a few days since then and i heard from zach that some people will also move here later to be our companion

I was doing the laundry when i heard a footsteps behind me, i know it's axle so i didn't turned around instead i continued what i am doing

I felt small arms clinging on my neck softly "papa, let me help you" i chuckled then nods at him

Well, he wants to help and learn so how dare i reject him

I teach him how to do the laundry then we placed the clothes on the hangers when we're done

While we're resting i heard a giggles from a kid on the outside, we were curious so we decided to look outside then saw two small boys playing around with the two women standing near them

While we were peeking at them the other kid saw us then suddenly runs towards us leaving the woman yelling at him

"Helloooo, im red!" the kid said while smiling widely, he looked at axle then his smile widened more "let's play!"

Axle hid behind me as he was tugging my clothes, i chuckled then pats red's head "he's shy, maybe later?"

Red nodded then run towards the woman, all of them are staring at us so we have no choice but to follow the kid towards them

"Hello, im red's mother. Im a servant from the palace but my son is still a kid and no one will look for him so i asked the king for permission to leave temporary but he rejected and assigned us to stay here with you and i agreed since i can also bring my kid here" she smiled softly

I felt guilty and was about to say something when she interrupts me "uh uh uh, dont be guilty. You didn't do anything and im glad he assigned me here since you seems to be kind and it's a relief that im not alone while looking at my son"

I nodded at her then smiled sincerely "thank you. You can call me siah" she smiled back

"Im elliana"

Wait-- elliana?red? Servant from the palace?? I knew it! She's the mother of one of the male lead

I stiffened up that make her curious but i shook my head and make a excuse instead to avoid suspicions

"Hi, im mariel. Im also a servant from the palace and elliana is my friend, that kid right there who's playing with red is my son. His name is ethan" the other woman said, i see so both of them are the mother's of the two male leads

Im not that surprised anymore since i already knew that i kinda changed the plot of the novel but i hope nothing worse will happen

As we were chatting we heard a footsteps running towards us, we looked on the side and saw the three kids playing around

Isn't it too fast for them to be friends??? Well it's okay so axle wont get bored

"Papa, we're hungry! Time to eat" axle giggled while running towards me

"Papa??" Elliana and Mariel asked while looking at me with full of curiosity

"Papa is axle's papa!" Axle answered them while raising both of his hands like doing a hooray thingy

I chuckled and carried him "he just likes to call me papa" is the only words i said that leaves them in bewilderment but they didn't asked more

They called their sons and we entered the house to prepare for our lunch

While the three kids are waiting on the table, we were preparing the foods while talking

"What did the king said? Why are you here taking care of the prince??" Mariel asks while cutting the ingredients, meanwhile elliana is cleaning the other ingredients and im helping mariel to cut the ingredients

"Hmmm he said that ill only watch axle for the meantime until axle's curse lifts up at the age of 10 then he'll go back to the palace"

"What will happen to you?? Why the curse will only lifts at the age of 10??" Elliana asks

"Ill only live what i want in any way and about the curse, im not sure but all i know is if axle manage to stay strong while the curse is lifting then he'll succeed and the curse will vanish eternally. The curse effect will be an internal pain so im still anxious about that and axle's 10th birthday is already in 2 years" i frowned

They looked at me with concerns faces "he can do it! trust him" mariel gave me a reassuring smile

"Yes" is the only word came from my mouth and smiled at them slightly

3RD'S POV

Days passed by until the king decided to visit the house from the mountains to check them

As he were walking towards the main door he heard a chuckles from the three people inside

He stopped mid way and was about to leave again since he doesn't like to interrupts them when the three running kids suddenly bumps at him

They looked up to see who it is then saw the king staring at them with his usual stern face

Axle's face brightened while red and ethan hid behind axle, axle did the hooray thingy again and the king subconsciously leaned towards axle to carry him

Red and ethan were surprised, they thought that the king is cold even at his own son so they're afraid of him but now they saw this they immediately changed their minds and smiled widely at zach

Zach looked at them in bewilderment then suddenly looks at the door when he heard a click sound like someone opened it

Then he saw siah staring at him with his shocked face because of the king's sudden visit

"Your highness!" Siah exclaimed

"Im not in the palace, call my name as usual" zach said with his usual cold tone as he went straight towards siah while still carrying axle

Zach leaned that makes siah felt his heartbeat skipped a bit but shooks it and asks zach to enter the house
