4.5

Lyon was now forced to be a bedridden patient in his bedroom by a titan who acted as a sloppy nanny. Javier would come to his room regularly with the exact same schedule. He would come with a tray of food that was supposed to be delivered by the maid.

Instead of maids or butlers who took care of him, Javier shooed them all and said that he would be the one who took care of Lyon until he fully recovered. The servants had no saying in this, because Prince Javier was the Crown Prince of Golden Camellia, and was Prince Lyon and Princess Layla's long-time friend. 

He would sat at the edge of Lyon's bed, and then started preparing the food. However, Javier was had really clumsy hands. It was very prominent that Javier held sword more often than he held a cup of glass.

Javier held a cup of glass and then tried to pour in the hot tea. However, he used too much strength when he pinched the cup handle and the handle cracked. Javier was surprised when the cup handle cracked and the porcelain cup fell to the ground, he caught the cup with his fast reflex. But then again, he used too much strength that he accidentally crushed the porcelain tea cup in his hand.

Javier looked at the teacup dumbly, and he scratched his head, "Why do the Great Palace bought cheap, fragile teacup? You should buy something more durable."

"That's because you used too much strength!" Lyon scolded, but Javier didn't seem to pay him in mind. He just took another teacup and repeated the same thing again. 

"Ah, what a cheap porcelain," Javier complained, and he took another teacup.

[Pupa: That teacup is very expensive, it costs around twenty gold coins in this world, or around a thousand dollar for each teacup.]

[What?! So Javier had wasted ten thousand dollars in less than thirty minutes?! I can buy a truck of grilled turkeys with that money! This kid, I will kill him!] 

Lyon was angry, all he wanted was to drink a cup of tea, not watching this titan breaking the teacups over and over, "Let me do it myself, you broke the tenth teacup for today! Damn, you are making a lot of mess!" Lyon snapped at Javier and he snatched the teacup from Javier's hand.

Too much moving caused him to wince in pain again, although three days had passed and the pain in his stomach was getting better, he still couldn't move too much.

"No, No, it's my fault that you are like this. My parents always teach me to be responsible for everything that I did, I will take care of you," Javier worriedly snatched the cup back and in process, he broke the eleventh cup.

[Pupa: Eleven thousand dollars.]

[NOOO! My grilled turkeys!!!]

Yunyu imagined the truck of grilled turkeys and another truck full of chicken drumstick that went wasted by Javier. His anger peaked, "Stop touching the teacups! You will break every—Ouch!"

The pain in his stomach got worse and Javier nervously tried to calm Lyon down, "Why you get worked up over teacups anyway? It's just a cheap porcelain," Javier said. 

"It's twenty gold coins each!" Lyon said. But Javier only tilted his head dumbly in response;

"See? I told you it's a cheap porcelain teacup," Javier said.

[… system, how rich is Great Arctyr in the world setting compared to Javier's Golden Camellia empire?]

[Pupa: Great Arctyr is very wealthy, but compared to Golden Camellia, it's about 1:100.]

[You are kidding, right? That's a huge gap!]

[Pupa: I'm not kidding. Golden Camellia under the lead of Aster had reached a new height. Javier is the richest second generation you can find in this world.]

Yunyu was slapped with the reality of rich kids. His parents were a middle class family in his real world, but since he decided to live by himself after his father remarried, he tried hard to not ask for too much from his father, he also did a few part time jobs. 

Aside from the duplex as his family's old house, he was basically a broke as heck.

Thus, he had a personal animosity towards rich second generations, including this simpleton in front of him.

"Why do you need to care for me like this anyway? Ugh, if you really want my blessing with Layla, fine! I give you my blessing, just leave me alone—Ouch!"

"No, no, Layla is also happy that I am helping you to recover," Javier said.

"You are not helping! Where is she anyway? At least, I can use some of her help!"

 "Uh… Layla said that she is meeting with her friend, a young duke, she said? Well, she told me that she is just meeting her good friend," Javier said innocently. Meanwhile, Yunyu and system telepathically had the same thing in mind.

[Layla is popular bachelorette, right?]

[Pupa: Indeed. She has a lot of suitors, this young duke is one of her suitor. But Layla didn't lie, based on the character background, this duke is indeed her good friend.]

[I feel like, we have a severe case of a green boy who is going to be cheated on eventually. I will talk with Layla later.]

In the end, Javier helped Lyon to eat the lunch that had been prepared, but with the expense of fifteen broken teacups, three bent forks, and five broken plates. It was a horrible mess. The servant cleaned the mess that Javier made and he just blinked innocently, as if he had done nothing wrong.

Lyon glanced at Javier who yawned as he rested his body on the sofa in his room, "Why are you still here?" Lyon asked.

"Huh? Uhm… I will be guarding you, in case you need anything," Javier said, honest.

"I'm fine here, go find another person for you to bother," Lyon said.

Javier opened his eyes, he stared at Lyon who was across the room, lying on the bed, "Big brother Lyon, do you hate me that much? I really don't want to be enemy with you. I think of you as a good friend of mine."

"I never said I hate you…" Lyon lowered his head and mumbled something, "I'm just afraid that feeling will keep growing…"

"Huh? What do you say? I can't hear you clearly," Javier asked. He didn't catch Lyon's words except 'feeling' and 'growing'.

"I—It's nothing!" Lyon shook his head, he tried hard to hide the flush on his face, "I just want to say that I don't hate you... b—but you are still a dumbass!"

"So, Big brother doesn't hate me? We can be friends again now?" Javier asked, his mystifying golden circle seemed to dilated slightly, but it was only a flash before it returned back normal, "That's great! I really don't want to hurt Layla's feeling by fighting with you!"
