"Lancelot, you can leave because I want to talk to my dad," she said , This was such an apparent chance for her to learn a little more about her father and about whatever is going on.
"You don't have to tell me twice," Lancelot said into her head .
"Wait," the emperor's voice boomed throughout the room.
"Did he help you make the chair with the wheels on it?" he asked her
Hydrancea was stunned ,The emperor had taken the spare blueprint from me?
"No, Father, he didn't, but he motivated me a lot," she replied.
"You are such a corny girl," Lancelot thought with a significantly smug face .
Modern day statistics showed that complete jerks had a special smug face and Hydrancea didn't need any fancy-pancy Data-Analyst and Power-point presentation to tell you that Lancelot was a jerk.
"Shut up," I though back.
The emperor turned to look at Lancelot.
"I suppose that's the reason Hydrancea took a liking to you," he said.
"Good... my life is saved," Lancelot muttered under his breath.
"Aloy, send a letter to the Austina dukedom. I want Lancelot to become playmates with Hydrangea," the emperor ordered.
'F*ck, playmates? What are we, three?' Lancelot complained.
' next time stop sitting on random people's window sills 'Hydrancea pouted
"Reon Austina's son, you may leave the room. I want to speak with my daughter," the emperor said.
Lancelot had realised both father and daughter had casually told him to get out of the room and took it as his get out of jail card.
"Ah, yes, Your Majesty," Reon replied before leaving the room.
"Bye-bye," Lancelot called out before he left.
"Cea, do you want friends?" the emperor asked her , almost sad like a wet dog , the tone was clearly depressed.
"Of course, Dad. I want to make a lot of friends," she replied mustering any and all cheerful-ness she had left in her body.
"You remind me of your mother. She always used to come up with weird inventions, like carriages that move on their own. She called them cars. But in the end, it helped to make this empire," the emperor said fondly.
"those are Cars" she whispered before turning her head up , her eyes lighting up with hope
"Father, did she come up with the wheelchair?" she asked.
"She wrote all of her inventions in her diary, but she used a language even the highest of scholars couldn't decipher. I once skimmed through it and found the same drawing in one of the pages," the emperor revealed.
Hydrancea was surprised. It either meant her mother was also from Earth, or it meant she was the greatest genius this world had ever seen.
"Father, can I see that book once?" she asked hopefully .
"No!" the emperor replied.
"Eh?" she yelped , stunned , she was never going to get that book easily .
"It's yours. You don't need my permission. Also, the wheelchair will be coming soon," the emperor said.
Meanwhile, at a certain dukedom, Duke Austina received some exciting news.
"Reon! The emperor wants Lancelot to become Princess Hydrangea's friend!"
"Eh? Yes! Elrod, go to hell! Hahaha! Hydrangea is my daughter-in-law! I knew it! My son possesses the same charm I have! Hahaha! Lancelot, want a new mansion? It's all yours! Hahaha!" Reon exclaimed.
A simple letter put this family into such chaos , what would a Wedding Certificate do ?
