"Wuuu... papa, hurt?. Does dad and papa are fighting??" Axle hics while tugging my clothes

"No, we're not" I shook my head and smiled at him then pats axle's head

We're now in the garden for tea time to discuss some stuffs again, Axle is on my lap while zach is beside me and amethyst and noel is in front of us

What just happened? Earlier when i opened the door i saw axle silently crying and slamming the door, when he saw me he hurriedly run towards me and hugs my legs. confusedly, i looked around and saw amethyst and noel behind axle holding their laughs back

"What??" Is the only word i uttered as i was still in bewilderment

Noel already can't held back his laugh, he laugh so loud until he cried his heart out

"Axle... axle thought zach is hurting you" he said while slapping amethyst back and laughing so hard

My eyes widened from the realization of what he meant and suddenly felt my ears warms again

And that's what happened, after that amethyst asked us to go to the garden so we can continue our discussion

They seemed fine now, it doesn't feel like they're awkward to each other so i shrugged my self and asked them

"About the engagement" i looked at them and saw them flinched but i still continued what was i saying "will you get engage with someone or the both of you already discussed about it?" They nodded at me

"We decided to get engage just so she can get away from her parents's nagging... then break it off when we like someone else" noel said while he averted his eyes when he said the last part

"Ohh" i see, ohh i see. I chuckled lightly at them then nodded my head while they looked at me weirdly

"Then, ill support the both of you... on your engagement" i smirked at them as i sip my tea

"Hmm? How about you? When is your engagement with zach?" Amethyst asked teasingly

I choked up on my tea and was about to exclaim at her when zach spoke

"We'll think about it later" he smiled softly and held my arm on the table

"Ahem, we're still here ahem" noel coughed continuously but zach ignored him

"Uwaaa zach ignored me, he doesn't love me anymore hic" noel acts like he was broken hearted, he literally gripped tightly on his clothes on the chest part and wipe his nonexistent tears

"I dont know this human" amethyst said while moving away from noel slowly and covering her face from embarrassment

This sight made me laugh and them and i only stopped when axle tugged my clothes again, i smiled at him and asked him what is it

"Papa, i wanna go to the ocean!" Axle suddenly exclaimed that made me confusedly

"Why so sudden?" Zach asked but axle just giggled "Play!"

We looked at him in bewilderment but just agreed anyways

"Can we invite red and ethan?? Pleaseee" he plead while using his old trick, his puppy eyes that he knew i cant protest

I chuckled at him and nodded he then raised both of his hand, doing the hooray thingy

3RD'S POV

They're now in the beach, it's really far away from the palace but since magic exists they didn't need to travel for a few days just so they can go there

The three kids; red, ethan and axle are playing on the sea shore while the adults are relaxing on the cottage

"My mother said that after a month the school will start and she said that'll ill enroll next week, how about you ethan?" Red asked while carving the sand castle with a stick

"Ill ask mother to go with you, how about you axle? Mother said nobles doesn't go to school until they reached 14 years old, if the noble kid is 15 above they can enter the school as long as they're a student of it" ethan said then giggled when he pierced the sticks and seashells scattered around on the sand castle they made

Axle pouted "but how do both of you can go and not me?"

"We're commoners, they said commoners studies early on the school while nobles are homeschooled" ethan replied then sat down on the sand

"Unfairrr" axle exclaimed then threw a stone on the sea but after that the three of them only giggled and continued their own businesses

In the cottage, siah and zach are relaxing on a chair while drinking a juice. They heard the children's chattering so siah asked zach about it

"Should we get a tutor for axle?" Zach nodded

"Wont he get lonely??" Siah asked again

"Then should we enroll him to a school?" Zach asked then leaned towards siah, siah didn't mind the sudden move and continued to drink his juice

"Yes?" He replied hesitantly but zach hummed as an agreement

Siah chuckled at him "will we disobey the rules?"

"It's fine, ill hide his identity"

"Perks of having a lot of money"

Both of them chuckled and continued to discuss random things while watching the three kids and eating their snacks

On the other hand, amethyst prepared the ingredients for the barbecue and other foods they'll cook later. Noel stared at her but averted his eyes when amethyst looked at him and placed the things they needed on the table, he then leaned beside amethyst when he noticed that she's having a hard time of cutting the meat, noel held amethyst hand that's holding the knife and helped it pressed hard so the meat will cut immediately

Siah noticed the two having their time not so far away from them, he smirked when he saw noel hesitantly and embarrassingly making his moves on amethyst

"Tsk tsk, noel seems like a playboy but he's really a virgin" siah chuckled from the thought while zach's lips only curled up

When the sunset came, the kids entered the cottage while siah and zach helped amethyst and noel at cooking until it was already at night, they're done and started to eat leisurely on the cottage

After eating, the adults placed the tents outside which they made from siah's idea, they decided to make a bonfire and enjoyed their night relaxedly

•••

Where's ethan and red's parents?? Idk i forgot to add them, i just now realized after i finished the chapter and now i cant add them on one of the scenes here so ciao~ (let's just make an excuse, just imagine that their parents are busy cleaning the house but they have their consent to go with axle and others)

And so i wonder why i even made an effort to make an info about siah's abilities since im not focusing on magic lol
