I was done after I finished eating . Nii-sama and the others will remain behind, and he signalled an apology to me, but I have Natalie and Hans, so I’m fine . I quietly asked the waiter to do something after I caught them and went back to my room first .
“I’m glad I’m your guard, Lei-sama . Luke-sama is only 12 years old but being a part of the Four Marquises or royal family is so troublesome . ”
“Hans, don’t say what you think out loud . ” It was funny to see Natalie quietly rebuke the grumbling Hans . As we slowly walked back to the room and prepared for bed, there was a knock at the door .
“I am here to deliver what you had asked for,” a maid came in with a cart . There were two baskets on the cart .
“We haven’t asked for anything,” Hans spoke with caution .
“Lei ashwed . Thanwsh . ”
“You did? Please tell me beforehand . ”
“Sowwy . ”
It certainly is suspicious to have something delivered to my room . Still, Natalie took the basket for me .
“Now we’re going outh . ”
“Going outh? What are you saying, Lei-sama? It’s time to rest . ”
Hans rested at night when we were at the mansion, but he’s been nagging since he’s been with me the whole time on this trip .
“We’re going tho where Nico ish . ”
“Prince Nico? He should be back soon, but why are you going out again?”
I stared silently at Hans . Hans scratched his head .
“Fine . But we’re going back as soon as you’re done . ”
“Ai . Natalie, thhe big bashweth . ”
“So, I’ll be taking this one with me?” Natalie immediately picked up the basket . Hans had to keep his hands free, so we couldn’t let him hold it .
There weren’t any guards outside the door, so Hans took me to Nico’s room without hesitation .
“This is Prince Albert and Prince Nico’s room . ”
My room is also shared with Nii-sama .
“Hans-dono, what the hell happened for you to bring Leilsama here at this time?” The guard in front of the door asked Hans . Shouldn’t you be asking me that?
“Oh, Leilsama has something to give to Prince Nicholas . ”
“It’s true that His Highness has just returned, but now is a little…” the guard hesitated, but I knew .
“Nico!” I shouted a little loudly outside the door, and it opened with a bang .
“Lei?! Come in!”
“Your Highness, but…”
“Shut up! I want to be with Lei!” Nico snapped at the guard; he was acting like how he was when I first met him .
“Excushe me . ”
The room I had entered was more luxurious than my room . To begin with, this must be the living room since I couldn’t see the bed . It’s not like I’m jealous or anything . However, the clothes were sprawled on the floor, and the maid, who was with Nico, looked nervous . I pointed at him, “Nico, magic big thoday . ”
“What?! I channelled my magic into the magic stone before we arrived . ”
“Did you do shomethhing differenth?”
“Let’s see,” Nico tilted his head while I made him sit on the sofa, and I climbed up next to him . I love sofas, but it’s a little too high for babies . Then, I took a magic stone out of my pocket .
“Lei-sama, you carry it with you?”
“Ith’sh a coincidence,” I explained since it seemed troublesome, but I saw how Nico was like at dinner time and put it in my pocket a while ago . I hadn’t felt it when I saw it at noon, but it was obvious at dinner that he had surplus magic . Nii-sama would normally notice, but he wasn’t paying attention because he was socialising with everyone .
“Sho, channew your mwagic here . ”
“Hmm . ”
Nico was used to it since he’s been doing it recently every time Nii-sama comes to teach . By the time he had finished channeling his magic, his magic had settled down, and he wasn’t agitated anymore .
Good .
“Hmm . It feels weird around my stomach . ” Nico pressed his stomach and tilted his head . Sometimes there are people like that . People who don’t realise that they’re hungry, some adults are like this, so obviously there will be children like this too . Especially Nico who has never gone hungry .
“Nico, you’re hungry . ”
“Hungry?”
“You didn’th eath enough . ”
Why do I have to explain his stomach condition to him?
“Nico, thawwed a woth . Your pwathe dishappeared before you couwd eath . ” (Nico, talked a lot . Your plate disappeared before you could eat)
“Yes, I was going to eat, but my plate was gone before I knew it . ”
Nico held his stomach .
“It’s miserable to starve . ”
“Dat’s wright . ” I agreed with him . When I was kidnapped, I had a fever and couldn’t eat even though I was hungry, so I know how important food is . But I knew what it felt like to starve before that, so I might just be a glutton .
“Lei-sama, were you looking at other people’s plates as well? You’re a glutton . ”
There’s a difference between knowing that I’m a glutton and others telling me that I am one . I’m going to tell Nii-sama later .
“Natalie, bashweth . ”
“Yes, Lei-sama . ”
Natalie could probably tell what was inside by the feel and smell of the basket . She put the basket on the table and gently opened the lid .
The room filled up with a nice aroma .
“This is…”
“Dewicioush food, I goth ith dewivered . ” I puffed my chest out . There are advantages to being a glutton too .
“I recommend thhe wewi cawe . ” (I recommend the weli cake)
“Cake? I’ll eat the cake after . ”
“Lei wiww eath thoo . ”
I wanted to eat it again when I saw it . Hans looked at me as if he wanted to say something, but Natalie stopped him, “Don’t say anything . ”
I really shouldn’t eat before I go to bed, but it’s not good to sleep while feeling sad over an empty stomach . Nico ate the fish deliciously, and by the time he shared his cake with me, I was feeling sleepy . Then, when I came to, it was morning .
“Lei, I didn’t starve thanks to you . ” Nii-sama smiled next to me and greeted me before saying that straight away . It seemed that the small basket was useful too .
“Giww?”
I hadn’t prepared anything for Gill, so I asked about him and Nii-sama answered, “Gill could ask for seconds and keep on eating even when people come up to talk to him . ” As expected of Gill . It’s better for one person to have a lot of nerves . It’s definitely his growth period .
Nevertheless, Nico will fall sick if we keep going at this pace . They were planning on taking it slowly on this trip, but isn’t that pointless now? I crossed my arms on top of the bed and looked complicated .
“Lei-sama, let’s change your clothes . ”
“Ai . Food!”
After changing, it’s time for food . I’ll think about it after I eat .
