“Aaah, I’m tired . ”
“Otou-syama?”
The door suddenly opened and Otou-sama staggered into my room . It was the end of December and Nii-sama’s birthday had already passed . Otou-sama had a lot of work to do, and I didn’t have dinner with him even though he was home . It was something that rarely happened .
It seemed like he was finally back from the castle now . He had taken off his jacket, but his tie was still wrapped around his neck, and he hadn’t even changed his clothes .
“Otou-syama, have you had dinner?”
“Lei time is more important than dinner . ”
When Otou-sama found me, he quickly picked me up, hugged me and took a deep breath .
“Those incompetent fools . They ask me about everything . Shouldn’t they ask the person in charge of the Rug Dragons about the Rug Dragons? Why do I have to adjust the numbers for the Rug Dragons?”
“Aiya . ”
I patted Otou-sama’s shoulders as he hugged me in his arms and motioned for his chamberlain to prepare a meal for him . Truthfully, I signalled Natalie, and she told the chamberlain to prepare a meal .
Not everyone can understand the adorable gestures of an infant . It’s not the chamberlain’s fault for being troubled since he couldn’t understand what I was gesturing .
Sometimes, it’s nice to have a meal in my room with just the two of us . I looked around my room .
I got a bigger room when I returned to the mansion . It had a big bed, soft carpet, a big couch for me to climb up and read on, and a table and chairs for snacks .
Otou-sama should sit down if he was tired, but he paced around the room with me in his arms and didn’t speak, probably because he was too tired . Then, a knock sounded from the door and the food cart was pushed into the room .
“I’ve brought your meal, Milord . ”
“Why in Lei’s room?
I patted Otou-sama’s shoulders again as he frowned for a moment, and said, “Puth me down . ”
“Lei…”
I sighed as Otou-sama complained that he didn’t want to .
“Lei wiww eath withh you . ”
“Alright then . ”
Otou-sama was in a better mood as he gently lowered me to the ground . I quickly got him to sit down and pulled a child’s chair next to him .
“Yoshi, yoshi . ”
“Lei-sama, I will do that . ”
Natalie quickly took the chair from me and placed it next to Otous-sama . She quickly picked me up from behind and placed me on the chair . Hmm . She’s very cooperative .
Soup was soon served to Otou-sama, and a small piece of grilled chicken, today’s main dish, was neatly sliced and placed in front of me . There was also dessert .
As expected, I couldn’t eat much even though I was joining him for his meal since I had already eaten dinner . I was only aiming for the cake .
So, why the chicken? I stabbed the chicken with my fork just as Otou-sama finished with his soup .
“Otou-syama, aan . ”
“Lei? What are you doing?”
“Aan . ”
The chicken will drop if you don’t open your mouth quickly . Otou-sama saw that the chicken was sliding off the fork and quickly put the fork into his mouth .
If I think about it carefully, it was bad manners to do this . But, Otou-sama skilfully took a bit of the chicken . As expected of a Four Marquis .
“Otou-syama, amawzing!”
“I’m not going to drop the chicken that Lei fed me!”
“Ai!”
“Hahaha!”
It’s a small price to pay if Otou-sama cheers up since he’s been sulking since Nii-sama’s birthday . The aura in the room was filled with relief .
I sat and snuggled with Otou-sama on the couch after a peaceful dinner when Otou-sama started to get heavy . He seemed to be dozing off . He must be really tired .
But, he’s heavy . A one-year-old baby, who was almost two, didn’t have the strength to support a grown man .
Natalie quickly pulled me out from under Otou-sama as his chamberlain gently laid him down on the couch .
“Give him a fwuffy piwwow . ” (Give him a fluffy pillow)
“Yes . ”
I took the pillow from Natalie and pushed it under Otou-sama’s head, then put a blanket on him .
It’s kind of on an angle .
“Yoshi, yoshi . ”
I pulled the blanket and adjusted it .
“Awrighth . ”
I’m satisfied .
“Let’s leave him like this for a while . He’ll wake up on his own,” Jude, who came to check up on us, said in a gentle voice .
“Ai, yeah . ”
On closer look, isn’t there a perfect gap under Otou-sama’s arms? I crept through the gap in the blanket and tried to crawl in . Climbing the couch was my specialty . I made my way through the blanket and popped my face on Otou-sama’s chest .
I think I heard an inaudible shriek in the room, but that’s okay . I looked at Otou-sama’s face and he was sleeping peacefully . He was sleeping soundly . Very soundly .
“H-hmm . What kind of present is this?”
Otou-sama was surprised that I had fallen asleep .
That’s because today must be the day when presents are given to those who worked hard .
Merry Christmas .
