Chapter 397 - 397: 2 days until Rean's wedding

[Savel point of view]

"Your Highness, this is yesterday minutes report that we compiled" [Crow]

"Thank you Sir Crow. You as well Savel" [Queen Rinz]

"It's my pleasure to do so" [Savel]

As Queen Rinz of Kiserre skim through our report, reading the highlighted important points made by us, she make a sigh

"I see, the First and Third Queen of Estel are still acting childish" [Queen Rinz]

"Feels like you know them personally" [Savel]

"I agree. It might be rude, but what sort of relationship do you have with them? Just asking out of simple curiousity" [Crow]

A curiosity that is shared by me as well. If anything, I think I can make a simply guest as to what their relationship are

"Just like how Princess Diana and Princess Nurhaliza are friend, the same can be said for my relationship with them. Although the second queen was the one we politically had the strongest relationship with" [Queen Rinz]

"She did supported the old follower, and if I'm not mistaken, so does your late husband" [Savel]

"That, they are. If anything, I am glad we are changing our alliance toward Saint Louis and Saintess Rumia of the new teaching, although the process was far from easy" [Queen Rinz]

Various skirmishes between the new and old follower were and still a frequent sight to see once someone step into Kiserre. Spitting against each other, calling the other devils follower etc, even going as far as to step into the portraits of their beloved Saint and Saintess. Even when Saintess Angela of the Old Teaching is our enemy, seeing her potrait being ridiculed to that level actually makes me angry. I'm sure Saint Louis and Saintess Rumia would stop them moment they notice what happen, as they're just not reflecting the behaviour taught by the Goddess. If anything, her being her is rather strange as the country needed her and Mrs Saga more than ever, but then again, showing that they're on a good term with us (and by us, not as Orphanages, but as heroes) is also an important task politically speaking

"If there's nothing else, we will take a leave" [Savel]

"Do take care and have a good rest" [Crow]

"Thank you, both of you as well" [Queen Rinz]

We left her room inside of Estel's castle. Once we are outside, Sir Ceanu Reaves is walking together with his dad (Duke) and his mom (Duchess). Just like King Estel, the duke have multiple wives, and the duchess in front of me isn't the one that kidnapped me long time ago. Still

"I won't. My alliance is with Princess Diana" [Ceanu Reaves]

"You're the heir to the household! You should pick the side that will bring most benefits for us!" [Duke]

"The benefits of the citizen and country as a whole will be the best interest for us, the duke household. If you can't understand that much, than I suppose we will never be on the same page" [Ceanu]

"With power come stability, which then come progress!" [Duchess]

"Indeed, but how one acquired it is also important" [Ceanu]

It feels like they're talking about the future of their house. I can see the stress on the duke and duchess faces while Sir Ceanu is calm like that of a still ocean

"We should probably leave" [Crow]

"True. I don't know why I was looking at them rather intensely" [Savel]

Their arguments simply captured my curiosity. That's why, I can't help but keep looking.

As we keep walking, I can hear the footsteps of Sir Ceanu catching up to us. He looks tired, and yet still greeted us with a sincere smile. Truly, he's a great man with a great heart. He might not get much action, and he will usually be like that of Princess Diana hidden vampires guard, always lurking beneath the background, but should he gone, I'm sure whatever Princess Diana built will collapse. That's how important he is

"Are you three going to the Orphanage?" [Liyana]

"Yes, we will like to meet Mrs Saga. Care to join us?" [Ceanu]

"Please, allow me" [Liyana]

Liyana quickly join us, and I can see the First Prince from a far, looking at her. I can tell that she coming along with us is simply her way of avoiding the prince, something we will gladly do. I even buff myself and make myself bigger, and walk behind her, just so that the First Prince stare wouldn't penetrate her. Sincerely, his stares is a frightening one...

"Thank you Savel" [Liyana]

"You're Elise and Mile best friends, couldn't just leave you behind" [Savel]

Once we arrive at the orphanage, it's a complete mayhem as they're all playing around without care in the world, that's until

"I LEAVE YOU FOR 5 MINUTES AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN!" [Khamishah]

(Run away! Run away me!) [Savel]

Her angry shout causes the younger group to freeze out of fear, and even us the older one could'nt help but to feel scares. My instinct tells me just to run away now itself and don't get myself involve, but

"Savel! Charlotte! The two of you will join them! Clean up this messes!" [Khamishah]

"Eeh!? I just arrived myself!" [Savel]

"And I'm tired... It wasn't even me the one messing it up..." [Charlotte]

"Ohh... Care to repeat that?" [Khamishah]

"All right everyone! Move move move!" [Savel]

"We will make sure that there is not a speck of dust left behind!" [Charlotte]

Her deadly stare, like that of a mother, quickly send shiver down to our spine, as Charlotte and I quickly clean the messes made by the younger group. Well, the two of us are the oldest among them all, so we quickly take charge and tell them what to do, until

"You're all working hard. I'm proud to see it" [Mira]

"It's not as delicious as the one Claude, but treat yourself to some biscuits" [Rafiah]

Since Grandpa Claude is busy making sure the festival going smoothly, he's rarely home at morning and evening, but he will still make sure to cook something healthy for us all, and speaking of him

"We are home" [Anjin]

"Hmm" [Kucin]

"Thank you for helping me, the two of you" [Claude]

"No problems" [Kucin]

"Squarrel like that are common in Kiserre, so you can just leave it to us" [Anjin]

"There's something only the energy from the youth can achieve, unlike us old bone" [Filvisar]

Seeing as to how tired they are, Charlotte quickly prepare some chocolate ice drink for them

"Sound tough, just have a seat" [Charlotte]

"Oh, you're already home little Charlotte" [Filvisar]

"So, how was the Sea Serpent Project?" [Claude]

"Well..." [Charlotte]
