《The Protagonist's Child》Chapter 40
Advertisement
A few moments after that blinding situation. We're now being served with two compiled sweets. The other side with big kinds of sweets were from Delancy and the small bites kind of sweets are from Nicorine, it's obvious that she had taken great consideration about me. And I saw a familiar one on Nicorine's side, macarons.
So then I started eating or tasting them rather. But why does father looked so excited about this?
A moment later, he took a piece of macaron and placed it in front of me. His face is expressionless but while I looked into his eyes, they're shining with excitement.
I was confused at first but I just then took a bite from the macaron in front of me.
It's really heavenly but to be fair of course, father took a spoon and scooped from the cake on Delancy's side. So I ate it too. It tasted sweet and delicious too, but there's something I couldn't explain from it and since father's enjoying this I just didn't mind.
At the end of the day, we couldn't decide who's the winner of the 'duel' so both of them can serve me. Yes, they're serving me. They'll be my exclusive patissier, so on my call they'll be there. I don't need sweets everyday since Leia said it's bad for my teeth and health too, so maybe just occasionally or moderately.
"Are you happy?" Leia said while putting me to bed.
I nodded as an answer.
The next day, I was lying in bed the whole day except of course when I need to eat and take a bath. But I think I'm forgetting about something.
Oh right!
"Leia."
"Yes?"
I sat down after remembering something.
"I haven't given my reply to Lin yet. Can you bring me some paper?"
She then brought me a pen and a scented paper. It's very fragrant. Rose scent.
I wrote a message asking how is she and thanking her for giving me a letter as she still seemed to care for me. Then, I invited her to have tea with me if she have time. Although I hate tea time as I love to go napping.
And after the sweets or pastry event that caused so much commotion, father went busy again. It's for real now, busy with work. Even though he said he would still give me time if I would visit his office but his assistant Victor won't recommend it since the Emperor left his piled paperwork and Victor can't handle more.

Tomorrow's the day the teachers that was hired by father would arrive. At first I thought it would be only one but since there's a lot to know and learn, a few is needed.
History class, etiquette, dance and magic class. There's also combat class where I would use weapons but since I'm in my recuperating moment, even though I'm fine now, father insisted that I still need a month or so before engaging to kind of activities. But studying is not a vigorous activity, though my mind will go off. I don't know if you get me but nevermind, I'm interested in studying though.
Ah, calling George as father is still quite unusual. Well, I'll get use to it as time goes by.
I stretched my arm for a bit and put the letter down, and read it again and again. It's quite okay now.
Then someone knocked on the door.
"My lady, can I come in. This is Leia."
With that monotonous tone and voice, that's definitely Leia.
"Come in."
She opened the door and got inside, and she was holding a tray with a letter.
Letters nowadays are kinda popular huh? Or I'm not just particularly fond of it since it's so new for me.
"There's a letter addressed to you my lady. And his majesty has message for you."
She handed me the letter, it has a black seal with a rose crest.
"And what did father said?"
"He invited you for dinner, you can go to his office first so that you can go at the dining hall together."
I nodded as an answer.
"What's this crest for? There's no name of the sender at its back."
"It came from the Academy my lady. Since it's from there it may be from the young master."
"It may be. Thank you Leia." I said then dismissed her.
Right. Cloud and I aren't really that close but at least we had that kind of bonding even though awkward we don't hate each other. At least.
I opened the letter and read it. It definitely came from Cloud.
'Hey kiddo, you awake now right? Don't let anyone teach you magic other than Derick. And do something about that weak body of yours, I might go back this summer break. What do you want as a gift? None? Ok. Anyways, eat a lot you're so skinny like a twig that you might get blown away by the wind. See you.
From, Cloud.'

What a very thoughtful message indeed.
Ah, father said we would have dinner together right? Might as well go there now.
Turn left, then right and at the middl there's a huge door with the family crest then viola, here's father's office.
"Is this the right path..?"
I mumbled as I walk through the corridors.
"Oh, my lady. You should've called me if you're now going to his majesty's office."
Ah, it's Leia! Thank goodness! Why didn't I think of that?
"Hehe, I should've done that. Well, anyways you're already here."
She nodded and lead the way through father's office. It was alot more complicated than I thought. This place is so huge.
Leia knocked on the door.
"Your majesty, this is Leia. And the princess has arrived."
And then there a loud bang and crash that was heard that clearly came from the inside.
After minutes, he responded.
"Come in."
Leia opened the door, and for a second I saw tiny dots of blue light. But it faded before I could even looked at it for seconds.
"Let's go and have dinner, tell the chefs and maids to ready the dining hall."
"At your orders."
Leia bowed before heading out. Father got up from his seat and slightly spread his arms. I tilted my head as I am confused.
His assistant victor was holding his laughter as to what his liege's doing.
I walked near him, and he lifted me up. He hugged me gently, as if his life depends on it. It was like he's holding something so fragile like a glass.
It wasn't uncomfortable, it's very relaxing instead.
"Let's go."
We headed to the dining hall, there was plates for two but he let me sit on his lap and fed me instead. Why isn't he eating? And this seems pleasing him so much.
I took the fork from him and stab a sliced meat and offer it to him.
"Oh..?"
He was definitely shock but later on took it on his mouth.
"Don't starve yourself."
I said, and we both ate eagerly. We exchange turns. The maids and chefs have weird expressions. They're way too happy right now.
"You should drink milk before you sleep alright?"
I nodded as a response. The dinner's good, and after that he brought me back to my room and waited until I finished waship up and wore my pajamas.
He smiled and gently pat my head before he left.
"Ah, I forgot to send the letter!"
I got up and go on my desk. No one touched it, the letter was still on the table.
I opened the drawer to take out an envelope and seal it. Now Lin's letter is ready to deliver but it's already night time, I can't bother Leia anymore. I sighed and noticed the other drawer on the side, I haven't opened it yet.
So I opened the drawer to keep Lin's and Cloud's letter but to my surprise, there's a lot of envelopes of letters in there.
All of them are still sealed. They all haven't been opened yet.
I opened them one by one. They're all well kept and taken care letters. And each message has- different kind of insults? or was it to tease me?
'wake up soon twig..'
'hey, we'll still play with snow next time right? wake up now, I'll make you into a ball of snow..'
'Ah, there's a villa at the seaside in the South Eastern continent, we can spend summer there..'
'I wanted to be there by your side when you wake up but I have to study, I'm already intelligent I already know this stuff I don't why I must need to study this again..'
'Ps. I wanted to be by your side so I could see how you get fat.'
Am I something that must need to get fat? Am I a pet? or what?
All of them were sent with different dates, most of them was a day or 2 days apart from each other, the longest may be a week.
I never felt this loved and hated (?) at the same time. He's so weird.
"Wow, you've opened the letters already."
The window opened and the night breeze came in. Since it's spring, it's still kinda chilly. The moon outside's so bright, I blinked at the rare sight I am seeing.
His long black silky hair's fluttering with the wind, his long curly eyelashes are mesmerizing whenever he blinks, and his golden eyes looked at me as if looking deep into my soul.
Such a gorgeous person.
Wait, why the hell am I saying those things? Did I just admired his beauty for a minute? No way. Wait, his beauty? He's pretty?
"I know I'm pretty handsome but quit staring."
When I heard that I immediately slapped my face for a moment, and why am I hot? It's chilly, there's winddd. What the hell's happening!?
