' How uncomfortable. This place has never have this much workers before since I came to this world. '
Francis drowned himself in deep thoughts alone in his room, while lying on bed, after his breakfast. Ever since the new set of workers came to the Ruby Palace, he was thoroughly taken care of, at least not having to starve to death like before.
' Come to think of it, isn't it going to be Francis 7th birthday soon ? Then it will be my first meeting with Caesar the First Prince isn't it ? '
From when Francis first reincarnated to this body, it had been almost 6 months. And yet, he was still not able to catch a glimpse of Caesar.
' Caesar should be attending my upcoming birthday party, if not, it would be insolent of him. And there would be more rumours circulating around about how the two princes are not on good terms. Caesar should understand this basic thing so he will most likely show up at the party.'
Since the birthday of the Second Prince of the Kingdom would be coming soon, the Palace was giving out the invitations to all the noble families in the country. There would be a lot of guests from prestigious families from this country and the neighbour countries attending, the servants were too busy to take care of both the cleanliness of the Palace and the event venue.
" Wait, where are they going to hold the party ? I thought it might be the Ruby Palace, but it is definitely to small and simple for all the aristocrats. I heard that there are going to be overses guests, too. So Ruby Palace is out of question. "
" FRANCISSSS !!!! "
While Francis was thinking about the upcoming party, the Queen, suddenly barged into the Palace and screaming his name frantically.
" Wha- Mother ? Why are you here ? " Francis's poor heart almost jumped out because of the scream. He had never experienced this kind of shock, even in the past lives.
' Even the scream of my cousin when we went to the amusement park haunted house was not this loud. ' He thought.
" Y-Y-Your br-brother " The Queen stuttered her words, her was trembling while holding Francis's arms.
" Y-Yes. Mother please calm down. Inhale. Exhale. What about my brother Caesar ? "
" Listen carefully, Francis. "
" Yes, I am listening very carefully. "
" Your brother woke up ! "
At that moment, Francis thought that his ears blew up. His head spun like a wheel and he could see stars with his eyes. Not because of the news the Queen had just delivered, but because she shouted with an unbelievable volume into his ears.
" My son, are you alright ? Did the news shock you that much ? "
Poor Francis could not bring himself to say anything about the Queen's volume.
" Y-Yes. The new certainly shocked me. But why is brother waking up a big news? Isn't it normal for people to sleep and wake up? "
" Oh, my! I think I forgot to tell you this. The they you fell and broke your legs, you fell on top of your brother and he has been in a coma ever since. "
' Nani the wut ? What is this woman talking about ? '
" This is such an important piece of information, why didn't you tell me before ? "
" Mother has a bad memory, forgive me. Tee-hee! "
" Forget it. Is it be alright if I visit him now ? "
" About that, dear... " The Queen hesitated to continue " Your brother seemed to have a memory loss... "
" MEMORY LOSS ? " It was Francis turn to shout into the Queen's ears.
" Indeed. When I heard that he woke up, I hurried my way to the Diamond Palace. But when I saw my Caesar the first time in 5 months, the first thig he said to me was < Sorry, who are you ? > "
" Brother.... " Francis was surprised, but also felt uneasy. ' Maybe it was my fault that he suffered like that, since I fell on top of him. '
" Mother, I think I should visit Brother after all. "
" Be careful with your words, dear. His mental state is very unstable right now. Don't mention too much unnecessary information, alright ? "
" I understood, Mother. Please do not worry too much. "
" Then I will report this to Luther. "
"I hope you have a safe trip, Mother. " Francis bowed at the direction that the Queen had just left. ' Luther ? Isn't that the King's name ? But that's not important at the moment, I need to check on Caesar first. '
