William's Pov (The First Prince)
After mother had left with the Doremitro Family we were left to take care of the rest of the nobles.
They did give us some 'okay' gifts but thanks to mother who had given us a necklace that had some kind of skill we were able to tell what there true intentions were.
Some of the young ladies even tried to seduce us which was really frustrating that I really wanted to snap their necks right here and then, if I could I would not marry anyone at all and just stay by mothers side but me and my brothers know better than to always rely on mother.
We had our faces remain as expressionless as possible which had successfully stoped them from trying to win us over.....
And so once they were finnaly all done giving their gifts I stood up and announced that the dancing will commend, unfortunately as I am the oldest out of the four of us I had to pick a dance partner first.
I really didn't want to dance especially with this two faced barbies so I had to think of something fast....
And how my luck was so great mother and the Doremitro Family had already come so I rushed towards her and asked her to be my dance partner.
Everyone in the whole room was shocked even me.... I forgot that mother was still the empress and I'm just a prince.
But gladly mother took my hand and answered, "Sure I do not mind at all." I breathed in and was so glad that she didn't scold me.
Because although mother had spoiled us she is still the empress and so she had also been very strict.
My brothers glared daggers at me for stealing their only hope of escape, I smirked at them making sure that they could see my face.
Once I had mother as my partner Charles had picked Liliana the young miss of the House of Doremitro, indeed the miss had blushed a bit but she was still a lot better than the other ladies.
And so after Charles Philip had asked the second daughter of Prime Minister Ronell while George had asked the third daughter of Duke Smith.
And so after all of us had chosen our partners we had started dancing, "Hmmmmm~ your quite good at dancing aren't you my dear son." Mother said to me while giving a very warm smile.
"It is all thanks to Imperial Mother for giving me a lot of good teachers." "Well son if we are the only ones or if we are alone with your brothers and if no one else can hear us please just call me mother." I tried to decline but she gave me a look of sadness so I had no other choice but to agree....
We continued to dance and enjoy the rest of the banquet while having mother tell us stories of the past.....
After the Banquet was over...
Victoria's Pov
"*sigh* that was tiring." I slowly removed my clothes and went to my ginormous bathroom it's got everything from sauna to a swimming pool, well maybe they don't call it a swimming pool here but like it was as big as a swimming pool.
The maids insisted that I don't bathe myself but I wanted some peace and quiet so they reluctantly got out of my chambers.
I have grown very fond of those four sons of mine so I will definitely go visit them if I have the chance. Unfortunately once they join the academy they will stay there for five years and they won't be able to go home because they will have their vacation on school grounds.
It doesn't seem as bad as you think because the academy owns the surrounding cities that is why they are allowed to go to those perspective cities.
Well if I say that they must come home even the academy can't do anything, but because I have to give them some face because they will have to take care of my sons for five years so I won't do that.
After I had finished bathing I went inside my walk in closet and grab a rather more normal clothes as I don't need to wear anything extravagant.
And so after that I got on my bed and happily slept.
