"Come to my room, we have to discuss the banquet about his birthday." Alexandrien finaly broke the silence
Chrystalya just nodded as she help her finger up to Reon.
At first she looked like she was listening to Alexandrien's words, but in reality she onl had eyes on Reon.
The maids, buttlers and soldiers all looked at the little family weirdly, but they valued their life so they didn't dared to stare at them longer than ten second.
Alexandrien lead them to his room. As soon as they arrived Reon started to fidget and ran to his mother in the minute his feet touched the ground.
He could already speak and he was rather clever for his age so Chrystalya was a little confused about his behavior. She didn't minded it that much, after all Reon was doing it for a reason even if she couldn't understand the reason.
"First of all you two need new clothes so I will bring the tailor here. Also the reaon why you and the prince didn't returned before was because you had complications during labor and both of you where in a bad condition. In the last two years you two finally regained your health to come back." Alexandrien trowed himself on the couch relaxedly as he waved at Chrystalya to sit down.
"I understand." Chrystalya nodded slightly.
"From now on you will be staying in my room and the prince will be staying in your previus room." A maid come in and served some tea and quickly left sensing the weird atmosphere.
"Excuse me... but.. I'm used to sleep with Reon. Suddenly leaving him alone for a night is a bit..." She looked at her son and slightly patted his head.
"Then he will be sleeping here too" Alexandrien shrugged nonchalantly.
'Huh? But I just wanted to avoid sleeping here... why did it turned out like this?'
She couldn't help but sigh a little.
'What is even going on with the original plot?'
Reon climbed on thw couch and sat on her lap as usual. He didn't looked at Alexandrien at all. He was playing the innocence child who has no idea what going around him.
'What are his plans with me? Will he still try to kill me? I don't really care as long as he won't hurt Reon.'
"Empress. Is there anything you want to bring here from the Cold Palace?" Alexandrien asked her curiosly.
"I would like to bring my maids back if its not that big of a problem." Chrystalya finally looked him in the eyes wich Alexandrien answeared with a grin.
"Thats okay. You also need some Lady in waiting huh? You don't have any."
"No. Thats not necesarry at all. I can manage." She shook her head a little as she picked up the cup.
"You also have to attend to the responsibilities of the Empress." He crossed his legs and leaned back.
"I understand. I will make sure to do my job responsibly." Crystalya recieved tutoring for this. After all she was going to be an empress since birth. This was the only thing her father let her learn. Well she could only learn this because the emperor didn't wanted to get shamed by bringing up an empress who can't even do her job properly.
