Through the windows of the dining room that welcomed the passage of light, the vibrant hues of the daylight made the dining room lively. Their conversation made everyone laugh and smile.
All of the servants head was down, and will only look up when the royals need help, all of them had some space between as they stand in the side of the table.
The dining table was lively not just because of its light but because of the warmness, you'll feel as you set foot inside, as well as, fill your stomach as it is the dining room and is full of different types of food.
The Emperor takes the seat in front and The Empress takes the other end of the table together with Celestine in her oak high chair that had a cushion to make her comfortable.
Francine is standing by Celestine's side and feeds her with her food that can be easily digested in her stomach. And is suitable for her age.
Their etiquette left them, as they enjoy a wonderful time teasing, having a little fight, and a little argument with their brothers.
Both Her Majesty and His Majesty didn't utter any word to calm them, as they were laughing at them.
'They may be not performing proper etiquette, but seeing them laugh and enjoy their breakfast... It's making my heart feel a warmth that I have never felt before. In the past, whenever I'm eating all I could hear was shouting, my heart was also filled with anger and fear. Fear that something might happen again, fear that I might be hit with glass in the back and my face again. Anger, that I couldn't do anything other than watching them fight. But this is something new and I hope this would last forever.'
She watched them, her brothers, teasing and fighting each other it also, made her laughed with her clapping her hands.
Meanwhile,
Francine who was always lively didn't show any emotion as she feeds Celestine. The Empress looked at her with a questioning look as her usual smile was not there, "Francine, is something wrong? Something bothering you? Perhaps... Someone threatened you?"
Francine shook her head, she was about to look at The Empress's eyes but remembering what The Emperor had said, so, she looks down, "There's nothing like that, Your Majesty. Neither is something wrong, Your Majesty."
The Empress looks to The Emperor, seeing him drink his half-full wine in one shot. A smile formed on her lips, "Dear, I need to talk to you later."
The Emperor continued to eat his meal without batting an eye and saying anything at The Empress. The Empress also didn't say anything as she didn't want to shout and have an argument with him in front of the kids.
The Empress turned around to look at Celestine and saw her with tears falling from her eyes, "Baby, What's wrong?"
'Ahh, tears fall on their own and my hand's feels like it's being tickled,' She chuckled inside her head by the end of her words.
Now that Avery questioned and was looking at her closely, more tears fell from her eyes. She later sobs as Avery gets her out of the high chair.
'Mom, don't look at me you're just making me cry even more'
Her brothers got up from their chairs and circled her with worries in their eyes even more tears fall. Caitel stands up and said, "Boys, don't circle her you'll only making her cry more."
The four princes step back and The Emperor pats Celestine her side, "Did something went inside her eyes?"
"There's seem nothing on her eyes," The Empress's heart starts beating fast. Then, she touches Celestine's forehead, "Caitel, she's burning!"
Everyone's eyes including the servants' eyes widened, The Emperor turned around to shout, "GET THE IMPERIAL DOCTOR, IMMEDIATELY!"
All the servants marched out of the dining room to go to the other side of the palace to get the doctor.
After all of the servants were out looking for the doctor, The two youngest princes, Damian and Vladious looked at Celestine in the hands of The Empress with eyes that are about to flood out tears.
Damian placed his hands in the arms of The Empress that was carrying the princess. "Mom, is she gonna be okay?" he asked, pouting.
The Empress looks down with a sad smile on her face and said, "Yes, she will. Little sister is just going through growing up."
"But why does mommy look sad?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowing.
"Damian, I think that's enough questions," The Emperor lift him and put him to the chair beside Celestine's high chair. The Emperor then goes to The Empress and guides her to her chair, as well as, trying to calm her down.
"Calm down it's going to be okay," He calmly said as he brushes his fingers in the hair of hers, and she looks him in the eyes.
'Okay, right now I'm witnessing Wattpad moment... Oof! I never got to ever witness that in the... Anyways, glad that they're my parents I only probably have a cold or my teeth are starting to grow but they are so worried! This is what happiness feels like?! Wow, lucky me. Lucky me pancit canton. Why... Why did I say that? Gosh... Now I'm missing it.'
They both looked down and saw Celestine smile at them, "Caitel, look at her she's smiling."
Avery's sadness was wiped out of her face leaving nothing but a genuine smile.
The four princes rushed their way to look at Celestine, "Let me see!" All of them shouted as they run to each other to look at her.
"Boys! Slow down! Your gonna startle your sister!" Caitel tried his best not to scare the boys as he shouts, as well as the little princess.
"Dad, your gonna scare Celestine. Shh." Atlas said. The four boys stand in line and took turns as they look at their sister.
'They all look like gods compared to me who looks like a cockroach. I'm hurting my self-confidence' She laughed in pain that was only heard in her thoughts.
The Emperor stands beside The Empress with a smile in front looking at them as they take turns, "Atlas, you repeated what I had just said."
"Yeah, I did. And mine was quieter than yours and that was startling our dear little sister." He said in a whisper but was enough to be heard by everyone as they are close to each other.
"Yeah dad, you should control your voice. It's startling our baby." Aziel said the same volume as Atlas and was pouting as he is peaking through the back of Atlas staying in his line.
