Chapter 11 - The Capital of the Asten Empire - Part. I

Katherina Chelsea Layla Evie Hadassah.

That's the name Eirwen gave me after traveling together for two months.

And as I thought, he was traveling in disguise.

He told me that to other people he looked different from what he truly looks like because he was using a spell that changes his appearance.

But it didn't work with me, because I'm an Immortal.

Most importantly, my telekinesis finally showed up, right in time.

Now I can talk telepathically with Eirwen, which makes my situation tremendously easier.

And after those goddamn sixty days, we finally arrived at so-called Gefroren, the capital of the Asten Empire, we entered the palace in the back door, once Eirwen was in a long and secret mission.

["We'll do as we agreed. You will let me with a nanny, and then you will spend time with your real kids. Most importantly, with your heir, once he's the one who's met you before your journey, and must be missing you the most."]

["Mm-hmm, you're right. I have to pass some time with them. I will officially introduce you to them in a few days, okay?"]

["Oh, come on, Eirwen boy, no need to hurry. I won't miss you."]

["Eirwen boy, my ass. Even if we count your real age, I'm still six years older. And ouch... that hurts."]

I laughed and he smiles at me.

["Haha, what a joke. If you count my real age in human years, I will be much older than you."]

["Says the one in a baby's body."]

["Haha..."]

["Anyway, no one would believe in you. So, I'm the older one here in everyone's eyes."]

["You're an idiot, that's what you are."]

["I miss the days when you couldn't talk at all."]

["So funny. I remember very well that you said that you were anxious about the day I would start talking. You can't go back now."]

["I regret that day."]

I laughed again.

["And that's because you aren't even really talking."]

"Greetings, Your Majesty, the Emperor! Did you call for me?"

A woman in her late fifty's said, bowing to him, in respect.

It's strange to see because I don't take Eirwen seriously at all after those two months of traveling together.

"You can raise your head, McRae. And yes, I called you here. I trust you with my life because you're the one who raised me because my mother died when I was a little kid. So I'm trusting you with Evie, she's my new daughter. I adopted her in my journey, now she's a Hadassah too."

Oh... so she was his nanny.

And she'll be my nanny?

This is really an honor because taking him seriously or not, he is the Emperor!

"Neither the Empress, the Queens, or my children know about her yet. I opted for spending time with them first, before announcing the existence of the new princess to them. That's why I called you, to be her nanny. She's exactly ten months, but she's a very energetic and smart kid. And I trust that you will keep this a secret for now."

So he knows how sweet talk, what a surprise.

I think I'm one of the very few people who know how's his true nature.
