Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Chapter 213 77:

Side Chapter: Vivienne's Two Aunties (II).

Baron Hills set himself aside after dinner, excusing himself to enter his office and ordering all the other servants inside the dining hall to finish up and rest.

"Thank you for the wonderful dinner." He tells them before completely leaving for work.

The paperworks which he still hasn't done, matters with nobles were second to none.

Many papers flooded his table but all he had in his mind was ways on how to make his little granddaughter happy.

The idea was set, right as they talked on the dinner table.

"I must hurry and send a letter for her highness." He thinks of Rose, the only person she can summon within his authority and power to ask for a private audience.

While he still has some doubts, after all love blooms with the pillar and foundation of trust to which she broke by betraying his daughter leaving Kein's heart fragile and broken.

What father can bear a crying face of their daughter, knowing their saving grace?

"If she truly loves my daughter… and granddaughter, even for her she will find a way to be with them." (Baron Hills) nods knowing he was right.

"Let this be a little test."

A letter to her other mother was the right answer.

He sat down straight on his chair, reaching out to one of his drawers pulling it to grab his ink and quill.

An empty paper in front, writing the following:

"To her dearest highness, the crown princess of Puronia." He starts dipping the ink and then writing the content.

Addressed to the palace of the royals and more specifically to her highness Princess Rosarie Goldheart of Puronia.

"My granddaughter… If it would be possible to schedule a visit for she misses both of her mothers, I request for a playdate." (Baron Hills) sighs having finished so soon, waiting for the ink to dry she asked a servant to quickly deliver it into the capital and palace.

…

"I hope it won't be an inconvenience to you, your highness for I just want to see my granddaughter smile and her eyes lighting up during the dinner table where she misses both of your company…" (Princess Rosarie) has already received the letter in two days time and was reading it out loud for her sisters to hear.

Three princesses ate oranges together in one room.

Specifically Princess Cecilia's room.

They all felt bad for their sister's bad moods recently firing a hired help to brew her some of her favorite tea.

They were all incompetent, the way they made their beverages needed more honey, not warm enough and sometimes it was even poisoned.

After her maid, Kazari, has gone off duty for a 'vacation' many maids were hired to take care of the perfect princess who has almost all of her things adjusted and made all like her.

Perfect.

She could tell if the maids used too much sugar, less sugar or none on her tea.

None of them survived for even a day, even at bedrest the first princess cannot see her room being out of place, most asymmetrical, in correct order of color, order and weight.

The letter was sent to Rose from the Hill's estate.

Immediately she read the letter after only a day being delivered. It had a wax seal of a dove carrying a rose. The family crest if the Hills family and Kein's.

She admires the wax seal before opening it with a letter opener.

Reading the letter that was from Baron Hills, her heart almost dropped thinking it was bad news.

She smiles after knowing it was only their daughter, Vivienne missing them so much after all Rose has realized it should be the time Kein has left their home for a long while.

"Ah… Kein…" (Princess Rosarie) sighs her lover's name longing for her company and their silly little banters. It has been a while and she's already received the knight's first letter before the news they'll be leaving soon.

"Is that letter from your little love bug, sister?" (Cecilia) grins as she rests herself in bed feeling so horrible if she dares even move an inch now.

"How come you only have a letter and not me?" she teasingly asks, knowing full well that the letter wasn't really from the traveling artist.

After all, if the traveling artist has one, Kazari wouldn't hesitate to send one too. They should be at a certain port in Sprivanto where they'll be able to take a boat and continue venturing off there.

"Oh it wasn't from her… It was from Baron Hills, her father! He asked if Vivienne could come over to visit for a little playdate." (Princess Rosarie) turns to her sister enthusiastically with excitement.

Princess Cecilia looks over at her little twin sister, coming out from the same womb but having different interests.

She doesn't like children.

"Will she be loud?" (Princess Cecilia) asks resting a hand on her chin looking tired.

"She's a very wonderful and obedient girl." (Princess Rosarie) tells her, crossing her arms.

Princess Catherine who has been working on her manuscript while listening in to her two sisters talk to one another.

She claps her hands and signs- 'The little one will be visiting?'

The two looked at Catherine having little flowers above her head. The third princess were fond of children too it seems.

'I want to see her soon! I hope she hasn't forgotten me.' (Princess Catherine) pouts hugging her work as Rose giggles walking over and hugging her back.

"I'm sure she hasn't Catherine." she reasurres her little sister who smiles fondly signing her thanks.

"I'll be setting up some arrangements and a letter of reply for Baron Hills first before you can see your niece." (Princess Rosarie) smiles holding the letter more tightly to her chest, being excited to see little Vivienne.

Clap clap clap!

Princess Catherine claps a little louder once more showing great interest and joy that they'll be seeing Vivienne again so soon. 'I could study little Vivienne for my upcoming novel as reference too!'

So that's why she was excited...

Rose has seen how her sister has worked on her novels, Princess Catherine was using their personal love stories to get turned into a romance drama themes novel that was selling like hotcakes over at the streets of [Sprivanto].

Princess Cecilia has to hold her pretty little head and groan. "You two know I detest children, just a warning but perhaps keep her out of my room."

The first princess would rather deal with cats and dogs than children. Those things are the devil's spawn!

"She might disorganize my things, complain and cry about not having food- what else do children do?" (Princess Cecilia) raises an eyebrow looking towards Rose who shakes her head.

"We were them at their age!" (Princess Rosarie) tries defending her daughter.

"Yes but we're no longer at that age, focus on the present little sister. Do keep her on a leash." (Princess Cecilia) sets a final warning before Rose pouts nodding.

It won't be easy to convince her older sister, who has always detested children to change her opinion on things.

Princess Cecilia has never dealt with children, but after being expected to bear one and being tied with a man in marriage she has grown to hate the idea of having them.

"Alright, Cecilia… she won't be getting anywhere near your room and I promise that." (Princess Rosarie) assures Cecilia who smiles in relief.

"Wonderful." (Princess Cecilia) replies looking satisfied with the thing she heard.

"I'll have the day be filled with activities for us to do." (Princess Rosarie) was already imagining their time together doing so many things. From eating cakes, a little picnic and reading stories to her in the royal library. "I could have a reply sent in a matter of a day before Vivienne can visit the palace, I should take her to the library when we have time."

A lot of plans that she wanted to do with Vivienne that wouldn't be able to fit in a day.

Princess Cecilia stares at her sister and forgets something important.

The rumors the visit will bring.

She quickly thought up a good excuse so they would be able to not worry about speculations going around the castle.

"Have the servants be warned of a guest coming. It would be difficult to explain why the light princesses want an audience with your little one." (Princess Cecilia) explains to Ride who makes a shocked face not expecting that suggestion to turn up.

"You're right... I need to think of a believable enough excuse that they won't paint the scene into something horrible." (Princess Rosarie)

"I'm glad you're learning, if one sees you with a little one holding ulit hand and being all affectionate, people might call her your secret child with some random commoner." (Princess Cecil) reaches for her tea by the bedside table and stops to smell the unbalanced flavor.

She frowns putting back the tea in its place. The water was really bitter, the cup and the small little plate with it were clashing in colors.

It was horrible, straining her heart and mouth. No one knows how to properly act and brew the perfect tea. The sweets the chef made were different...

Don't tell me Kazari would wake up bright and early just to bake her the perfect cookies she always couldn't help munching on every day?

Princess Cecilia's head casted down a little, feeling a little lost of her maid's company being gone for only a week. She's very much aware of how selfish she's been and might even have to add as to how she's been caught up to work taking her for granted.

"I really miss her..." she mutters to herself not having her sisters hear or else she'll be teased endlessly.

"Well we could have the reason for being curious about Vivienne's eyes- we could have an excuse of wanting to know if she's capable of the affinity of light magic."

Princess Cecilia holds her chin and nods remembering that the little girl was someone who might also have high affinity in light. "Ah yes I never took interest in the time but I suppose that would be a decent enough excuse to believe."
