Night Time

It's already night. I'm in the bed right now, thinking about what should be prepared for tomorrow.

Grel : "Hmm I can just bring some food and drink, the housekeeper said I just bring them some carrots and water if they are tired or getting slowed down. The rest is giving the house when we arrive to the housekeeper at might kingdom... But that girl..."

I'm a bit worried that she became uncomfortable because the seat might just be too tight.

Grel : "*sigh. She is really into me huh..." with a tiny smile.

Thinking about that girl, she must be sleeping with her mother, right? My father's mansion has 3 extra bedrooms. It's a common mansion to be having 5 or more bedrooms since this mansion was used for a queen and king bedroom.

door: *knock-knock-knock.

Hmm... Who is knocking in the middle of the night like this? *While walking toward the door. Did my maid forget about something... As soon as I open the door.

Grel : "Arhi ?" She is wearing pajamas and bringing a pillow with her.

Arhi : *Quickly hugging me with the pillow she brings from nowhere.

I awkwardly react to that sudden hug. Then I smelled something fragrant. My third leg is about to raise. And quickly I grab her shoulder and push her back a little bit.

Grel : "Why so sudden?"

Then I see her mouth drooling, and her mouth breathes its smell. Oh, she's drunk. Wait, she's drunk? since when does she like drinking? And her eyes kind of almost fully closing. Yep, she's drunk. But how can she walk all the way here, the bedroom was far from here. Then I see outside of my bedroom right after the door, a little shadow. I realize it was my maid who did this to her, and probably bring her all the way here.

Grel : "I see you two there." with a bit loud tone.

Both girls make a surprised squeak. Then I look outside while holding Arhi shoulder.

Dai : "That's a Finnq idea, not me." I see her running really fast leaving Finnq here.

Finnq : *Confused looking back to Dai and back again to me repeatedly. "That's not me young prince, believe me, please." she is bowing 90 degrees toward me.

Grel : "Yea I believe in you, Finnq ." she instantly goes back and straightens her body again and smiles.

Finnq : "Really?"

Grel : "Just tell me why you are helping."I'm intentionally making a rude facial expression.

Finnq seems frozen with eyes wide open after hearing it.

Finnq : "I'm sorry young priiinncee..." While running back chasing Dai , probably going back to their bedroom again.

Grel : "*sigh, what is wrong with these girls."

Then I look back at the Arhi face, still sleeping. I can't bring her from this place to another girl's bedroom with her mother. Maybe I can ask for help for the guard.

Suddenly I remembered something important *With my eyes wide open. Then I look at her asset. Never mind I can't let someone feel them. Then I decided to take her sleep on my bed. I bring her on then cover it with a blanket.

I see her beautiful face sleeping so deeply *While blushing because of the beauty. Quite long until her hair just falls down to her eyes from her head *While smiling. I decided to go back to my plan before, preparing what to do in the might kingdom tomorrow. I stand up and go to my table and sit down on my chair. I wrote everything I need to do tomorrow on a piece of paper.

I wrote everything I needed to do even though maybe I can't do that because of some reason. The distance between the might kingdom and the bulwark kingdom is far. If we ride a horse but not running and just a tiny slow run, it took about roughly 12 hours. But if we run it, roughly we can arrive in about 4 hours. And maybe coming back again around 1 week, but not sure with Arhi . How she will go back to the Rose kingdom. The Bulwark Kingdom is in the center of the might and rose kingdom, the might kingdom is on the right side, and the rose kingdom is on the left side. And we go together, it means I will go to the Rose kingdom as well later.

Grel : "Haahh this is tiring, maybe I will stay for 2 weeks instead. There's so much to do in here. Especially the weapon Smith here. I remember Fasmel heavy sword is glowing in the middle, like a flame."

Time just passed by, and I didn't realize that I'd been writing quite much. I am stretching my body and hand, and I see the perfect moon just right above me. I think it's about time to sleep. Then I look at Arhi face again, still in deep sleep.

Then I just went to the bed and tried to sleep. Then I closed my eyes and sleep.

The next day. I open up my eyes slowly while the sun a little bit dazzling my eyes. Then I remember quickly I sleep with a Arhi in the same bed. Then I look to the right. My face and her face are so close that I can feel her breathe. She still sleeping. I tried to pinch her cheek.

Grel : "Hey, wake up, or we will be late join Mr. Gemun ." While keep pinching her cheek.

Arhi : "Heewewe..." She is still in deep sleep. Then I tried to pinch a little bit harder and make her feel a tiny hurt expression. Slowly her eyes open.

Arhi : "Ka.. rl.." While I keep pinching her, I don't know why, but it's cute.

Grel : "Good morning young queen."

Her eyes lock on me and her face turned red so quickly.

She keeps staring at me or she just froze again. I realize this is a bad position, our faces too close. Then I tried to wake up from my bed to avoid her staring at me.

Grel : "*Doing fake coughing. It's almost time, we must hurry." Then I get off the bed and stand up and untie my shirt pajama. Weirdly, I didn't hear a single word even though she already awakened. I am turning back to see her face again.

Grel : "Are you still sleepy?" Then I see her already woke up but still on the bed, her eyes still wide open like before, but this time her eyes lock to my body while I untie my shirt.

Then I just kick her out of my bedroom. She was still freezing, then I closed the door.

From an outside perspective, Finnq and Dai lean to see Grel 's bedroom. And they see the young queen get kicked out just like that, leaving them both surprised.

Finnq : "You said they will make a loud noise at night." with a confused look, she doesn't understand what Dai means.

Dai : "Shhh... Look at her."

Then they both see her spacing, looking a bit upper, and her mouth smiling but in a perverted way.

Dai : "Hmm... Did that work?"

Finnq : "Is she still drunk?"

Dai : "*sigh. No Finnq ly. *Her full name. I still don't understand how your mind and body don't match up."

Leaving Finnq way more confused.

Dai : "Let's just take the young queen, we need to dress her up as the queen said to us." While she is walking toward spacing out the young queen.

Finnq still thinks about what she meant before, but then just ignores it with the Shoulder raising for a second.

Finnq : "Yeesss!" with enthusiastic energy. Then she catches Dai and walks to the young queen together.

Time skipped, and both girls help out young queen to walk by lifting her hand side by side to their shoulder while she still dozes off imagining something.

From Grel 's bedroom door perspective. Those girls keep walking to the other bedroom far ahead.

Dai : "Hmmm↑..."

Arhi : "Hehehe..." The voice gets lower as their position keeps getting far from the door.

Finnq : "R-r-r-r, rip-off?" The voice keeps getting lower. Finnq : *Talk like not caring Dai said. Hawawwa... is that really? *$%&*$%&*" Dai : *Talk at the same time with Finnq ."*Sigh. That's not the plan my young queen. You are both really just cute people, really."

Going back to my perspective. Standing right after full body mirror. While changing clothes.

Grel : *Looking at my body part. "Hmmm... This is probably a bad idea to ride with her together. Should I ask the horse keeper to bring one extra horse for her?"

While looking in the mirror, my body was a rip-off 6 pack. This makes me remember how hard my father trained me. It pained my body a lot, at first, I thought my father was just going to kill me with almost non-stop bodywork. But looking at my result now, I'm very confident. Judging from Arhi expression, she even locked her eyes on me. *Smile of joy.

Grel : "I don't know if I need to push harder again. We can't train our power, but we still can train our physical. But it will look a bit too much isn't it?" Tried to Imagine it.

Grel : "Nope. Never."

After I am done changing clothes, I bring my note with me and leave my bedroom. I'm going to the front of the house to have some dinner first.

After a while, I open up the door to the living room and see my father and Mrs. Cira already eating. And my two-maid went back and forth to pick down the menu from the kitchen.

Cira : "Ah, hello cutie."

Grel : "Good morning my queen." While I bow to her. And cutie?

Cira : "Hmp↓Hmp↑Hmp↑... No need to be formal with me→↓."

Grel : "Then let me call you Mrs. Cira can I?"

Cira : "That's way better." She smiles really wide.

Dai : "Good morning young prince, would you like tea?" While I am walking toward the near chair and tried to sit down.

Grel : "Yes please." And begin to eat the dinner that was already served in front of me. She's coming back to serve my tea from the kitchen.

Dai : "Here you go young prince, anything else I can help with?"

Grel : "No thanks." then she nods and moves a little bit far to the corner of the living room where Finnq is already here and tried to make space for us to eat.

Cira : "You can call me Mom you know."

All four of us, my father, me, and two maids just spitting by surprise.

Elric : "Cira , I... *Coughing. Can you both leave for a moment?" my father means our maid.

Both said: "Yes." Then they both leave the room.

Cira : "C'mon ↓ now ↑, why do we hide this like forever? We already know each other, right?" She gives me a teasing smile.

Elric : "*Coughing hard. Cira please."

Cira : "Yes?" She gives teasing smile to my father.

My father feels embarrassed in front of me, knowing he has been teased.

Grel : "That's fine for me father, I support everything for my father as long it's for happiness." I smiled at my father.

Then I see my father actually crying in tears, but still manly.

Elric : "Sometimes our destiny doesn't match up with the plan we prepared. I'm not forcing Cira to love me, since we have our past love. But the feeling of loneliness keeps coming day by day." The atmosphere becomes sad all of sudden.

Cira : "That's why I'm here for you, I didn't mind as well, I already told you didn't I." She grabs my father's arms.

Cira : "I also have lost my beloved, but it's already a long time and I see both of us have the same pain we are bearing."

Elric : "But I still feel guilty if I am with you."

Cira : "Hmm. It really is, but the loneliness has really haunted us."

Grel : "Father, as I said before, I really support you for the sake of my father's happiness. I can live with it." I give my father trusted eye contact and smile.

Elric : "You are really a good person son."

Cira : "Did you pretend I'm still not here, hmm↑."

Grel : "Sorry, you too Mrs. Cira "

Cira : "Mother."

Grel : "Umm... you too, Mother." It feels weird.

Cira : "Hmp↓Hmp↑Hmp↑... I'm sorry for teasing too much. But please call me mother from now on." She smiles at me right now, not teasing again.

Grel : "Yes Mother." Now I feel welcomed.

Someone opens up the diner door. It's Arhi coming in. She wears something not formal like yesterday, now more like normal, but still she looks a beauty.

Arhi : "Ah, sorry for my intuition." She bows to my father.

Cira : "Daughter, for now on you will call Mr. Elric father."

Arhi : "Yes..." *She then thinks twice. "Pardon??"

Cira : "Why? Your babe is calling me a mother."

Both I and Arhi were shocked she mention it.

Arhi : "What? Mommm..." She sits down on a chair near her like a mad kid, she is also embarrassed.

Grel : "It's a bit of misunderstanding about that, umm... mother."

Cira : "Hmmm↑... Should I mention what happened last night here?"

Both I and Arhi were shocked spitting.

Elric : "What night? is there something happening?" Both me and Arhi to creep out.

Cira : "Hmp↓Hmp↑Hmp↑... They both just got drunk after playing a drunk game."

Elric : "What's the drunk game?"

Cira : "Drunk game is where two or more people sit at the same table with much alcohol. They drink one small cup of glass one by one. If someone drinks water instead of alcohol, they all can drink water as well. It's to prevent them get drunk earlier. And if someone collapses, they lose."

Both I and Arhi look at Mother with the blank eye. That's so much to explain.

Elric : "Hmmm... you both don't get drunk too heavy again you know, it's not healthy."

Both me and Arhi : "Yes..." We are actually relieved she doesn't mention anything about it. It's better than getting exposed too soon.
