18 Prince's Birthday [2]

"Don't cry. I don't hate you."

Serin with fake tears look at Xanric intensely and said, "Really?"

Xanric nodded his head.

"It's true. I like you so much." then wave his hand in a circle saying, "Like this, this big. I like you a lot so don't cry hmm? If you cry I will feel sad and cry too."

Serin wipes his fake tears and smiles: "I like you too!"

Then drop a kiss on the other party's cheeks while giggling.

Xanric was caught off guard at first then kissed back fearing that Serin would be sad again. After that, they grab some toys to play together, having a two-person world and refusing to join Sion and others. Then after hours of playtime, the host started another program again and then start dining right after, since the kids are vying for food.

Qise took a sit with President Strauss and others with the kids.

The main table is round and big. Five kids and Six adults fit which makes it lively.

Serin grabs the seat beside Xanric, pushing Conrad to sit beside Qise and help Xanric eat, and ended up feeding each other heartfully. Looking at the two children makes the adults look at each other and sigh, each has their own thoughts in their hearts.

"Eat this, this tastes good."

Xanric opened his mouth and chomp on Serin's spoon, his cheeks bulging.

Serin found pleasure in feeding Xanric so he keeps on giving him food but Qise notices it and immediately reprimands his little master that it's too much.

President Struss suddenly feels distressed and wipes his son's mouth, pushing the plate away.

"Don't eat too much, your tummy will hurt."

Xanric hummed and purse his lips leaning on his father.

Serin panicked and wanted to grab Xanric back but Qise pick up Serin and make the little child sit on his lap while wiping the little ancestor's mouth. Conrad on the side receives the tissue and throws it in the nearest trash can, then asks for some wipes for the children to use. The servants immediately complied and come back with a stack of wet wipes and give it to the parents of the children and also offered it to other tables.

Conrad pick up the little brat and told Qise to finish his food.

Serin sat on Conrad's lap while trying to grab the plates but Conrad will hold the child's little hand to prevent it from getting dirty again. Seeing the scene, Qise put down his utensils and grab a small toy, and put it on Serin's hand to keep away the child's attention from the table.

"Bah!"

Serin throws the toy angrily and turns around, grabbing Conrad's face in anger.

Everyone looks at Serin and sighs.

Qise feels bad and was about to snatch Serin back into his arms but Conrad refuses and grabs the little brat's hand before hitting the child's ass.

Serin's round eyes widen.

"Y-You..."

Serin turn his head and look at Xanric and saw that he is looking at him.

Serin's eyes turn red and leans on Conrad's chest, feeling embarrassed. Tears fall from his eyes and silently cried causing Qise to feel distressed. However, Serin is wronged so he never bothers to coax upon seeing that Conrad is talking to the little kid in a low voice while pointing at Xanric who is looking at Serin confusedly, wondering why his doll suddenly gets angry.

Serin shook his head, feeling ashamed.

"Don't cry. If you cry you will not be able to get married."

Conrad teased the little brat.

It's a useful method because Serin stops crying and wipes his own tears. Leaning on Conrad, feeling sleepy. But the party is still ongoing and the birthday boy still needs his presence so Conrad put back Serin next to Xanric to keep the little brat awake.

Qise looks at Conrad dumbfoundedly.

Why does he feel like, Conrad handles his ancestor too well?

Conrad glance at Qise's plate and said softly, "You still have a little left, finish your food. Don't worry the little one won't cause trouble as long as you keep it near Xanric."

President Strauss glanced at Conrad with a raised eyebrow.

Qise swallowed his curiosity and nodded.

"Well, thank you."

Everyone watches the interaction of the two in a secretive way and found that if Qise is not looking, Conrad's expression is cold with a usual domineering aura that would make people back off. However, when Qise turns his head, Conrad's facade will appear, looking like a fine gentleman that seems to treat everyone softly.

This made them scared.

Who is Conrad Nekriel? It's a national figure and his backing is the whole country. Someone who is standing on the top of the pyramid and have no time to look down on others.

Someone like that actually know how to flatter someone?!

Oh god. Tell them they're dreaming right now!

The third part of the program started and Serin stood on stage, bowing in front of everyone before walking towards the grand piano and positioning himself.

Qise smile like a proud parent.

His host is a talented person, who wouldn't get amazed?

Serin perform a not-so-complicated piece but still enough to amaze the audience because a five-year-old wouldn't have such a skill that could be on par with a piano student that is attending a music club or academy. As expected of a little prince, it's too good for others.

"This child is not bad. So talented."

Qise smiled at President Strauss and said, "It's natural."

Conrad's lips twitch.

"Did the child undergoes music lessons? The level is not something a normal five years old kid could do. If this is a talent then I'm afraid other people will cry in their bed."

Qise chuckled and shook his head, saying, "That child has been receiving an elite education, for us it's natural that he can speak ten languages at his age and play all instruments. You know, an heir is someone who is posed to be perfect because a single mistake can drag him down his steps. That's why education is crucial to that child."

Just kidding.

What education?! Both he and his host has been living for thousands of years! Such a thing as playing music and language is nothing at all! His host has been trained both mentally and physically to withstand any pressure coming from the plot of the world!

That's a perfect villain in front of you!

Not a brat at all!

"It doesn't sound good but I guess with your family status, being perfect is needed. However, it's not necessary, because sometimes mistakes can help someone grow more."

Qise purse his lips.

"You are right. This is why I never push that child too much and just let him live his life. After all, as long as I'm here, he can be safe and sound."

Conrad held Qise's hand.

"I'm here too. I'll be with you whenever you need help."

Qise looks at Conrad with wide eyes.

President Strauss and others on the other hand fake a cough. This is the first time they would have this feeling to scream at someone to get a room and spare them some old men from eating a bunch of dog food! Come on, is it fun to show off?!

Qise retracted his hand at a quick speed with a red face.

Ah! Why is this man like this?!

So handsome! So manly! Just mere words can be a seduction! It should be a crime to be such a person! Come! He wanted to call the police and file a case! Someone is trying to kidnap his heart! This is too much! Is this a sign to surrender his virginity?! No way!

Qise uses his hand to fan himself from the heat.

Relax your hormones!

After the performance, Serin left the stage and run towards Xanric in a hurry, asking for praise. President Strauss pushed his son to compliment his friend but before Xanric could open his mouth, Serin shouted and asked for a kiss, and President Strauss is at a loss while watching the two kids exchange a kiss on the cheeks.

He suddenly got worried.

What if his son differentiate as an omega and got taken away as a bride?

"It's time to give the guests a souvenir."

Qise stood up from his sit and carried Serin who is clinging to Xanric.

Conrad, as usual, follows Qise like a dog and steps on the stage. Qise gives out a speech with Serin in his arms but the little kid is struggling, almost making them out of balance. Fortunately, Conrad is beside them and grabs Serin again so Qise won't have a hard time.

Qise glance at Conrad before looking at the guest in a quick manner.

Serin who was snatched by Conrad sat stiffly on Conrad's arms while pursing his lips.

The three stood on the stage in harmony.

Rachelle, Granpa Yul, and other servants wipe their invisible tears and cheer.

What to do? Master Qise and Mister Conrad look good at each other, they can't help but ship the two-person, screaming internally hoping that their CP will become real someday. Today is just too much of a service. They can't help but give their little master a thumbs up for acting like a cupid. So wonderful, the three people, two big and one small looks like a family.

What to do? It looks so good.

After Qise's speech, the servants pushed carts containing the souvenirs that Qise personally asked to be customized. The souvenirs are good-looking porcelain bears, perfect for room design. It is designed with real gold and the jewel that the bear is holding is made of real emerald. While the staff introduce what the souvenirs are made of and for what purpose, everyone couldn't help but gasp, wondering if they can leave it in their child's hand.

Such expensive souvenirs?!

They're afraid this is the first time!

Everyone was dumbfounded when the staff roam around the put the souvenirs on each person on the table. The children are excited and wanted to play with it but the parents have a quick reflex and grab the souvenirs before their child breaks it.

The children cried.

The hall was suddenly surrounded by the cries of children making Qise caught off guard, wondering what happen. He is about to ask what happen but a servant comes forward while wearing saying that the parents refuse to give the souvenirs to the children because it is too expensive and they're afraid that their children would break them,

Qise was speechless.

Well, it seems like, souvenirs made of jewels are not suitable.

He didn't think about it because his host has been playing with jewelry and porcelain toys since childhood and breaking such a thing or losing it is a normal occurrence. He thought that children will like it because his host liked those kinds of things but he didn't expect to receive a different result from what he expected.

Conrad frown.

"Qise, the souvenirs are not suitable for children."

"Huh?"

Qise look at Conrad confusedly and even Serin tilted his head in confusion.

Why they don't like it? His little ancestor liked it very much that he plays with it every day and threw it around. When it break Qise would order another batch so he can have something to pacify his little master. Besides what's the big deal with that kind of souvenir? Isn't it just jewels? Porcelain crafts are not rare and do so gold. Why not suitable?

Conrad suddenly feels helpless.

"How much did you spend on those souvenirs?"

"Just around ten billion."

Conrad and Qise look at each other in silence.

Serin slaps Conrad's face and said he wanted to be put down. Conrad let go of the little brat and drag Qise behind the stage.

Serin who is finally free run around grabs the servant's clothes and asked for his toy. The servant immediately open one of the souvenirs and gave it to the little master who said thank you and rushes towards Xanric's direction while holding the porcelain bear.

"Look, we have the same toy now!"

Serin looks at Xanric excitedly, "I like this toy so much, I have different types of this toy! But I will only give it to you when we got married in the future!"

President Strauss finally realizes that he's not hallucinating at all.

The little prince is coveting his son!

Xanric held the porcelain bear tightly, his watery eyes glowing while looking at Serin admiringly before nodding and saying, "Then it's a promise. When we got married you will show the toys to me, in exchange I will give you mine."

"Of course!"

A domineering president never breaks his promise!
