alison frowned confused. yesterday the elf prince was calling faes aster and now even the human princess was doing the same. but wasn't faes a princess herself? why were they calling her lady and much importantly why were they calling her as aster when her name was faes?
while alison contemplated about faes identity alicia noticed his frown and paled quickly holding nia's hand and giving faes a concerned look.
"brother alison and i know each other for some time now. we are friends no?" faes spoke before anyone else can while tugging at alison's sleeve; she had been watching silently enjoying the show but now she somehow felt nervous. looks like she would need to tell alison about her name aster.
"more like family" alison added his frown easing after he saw faes tugging at his sleeve, he knew that if faes wanted to tell him then she would and if she didn't then it wasn't much important; maybe she didn't wanted them to know her real identity who knows?
only after watching alison rub faes head smiling softly did alicia relaxed while nia frowned she somehow didn't like how alison only smiled for aster. how wonderful would it feel if alison rubbed her head with such affection. thinking about that nia began blushing.
"sister nia why are you turning red?" sky asked pausing her hand which was holding a cup cake.
hearing sky nia blushed more intensely. even she didn't know why she was blushing!
"i think i need more rest" nia cleared her throat to which alison nodded
"its best if you rest, we wont be disturbing you anymore" speaking that alison took faes hand and stood up forcing her to do the same being smaller than him.
"if you need anything just call me, and you have to come to my introduction party so get better soon" faes spoke as alison pulled her out of the room.
"see you later sister nia, we will definitely prank brother alex like we planned" sky too spoke before running out catching up to faes and alison leaving nia and Alicia blinking.
"mother is it just me or his highness seem different than the rumers?" nia asked once she recovered her senses turning to her mother who seem pale and concerned for some reason
"he is indeed acting differently but that precisely is a cause of my worry. its like lady aster is his toy and he might kill her once he gets bored" alicia couldn't help but want to talk to king augustus about this.
hearing her mother nia too turned concerned. is prince alison was showing such affection because of his interest then lady aster would be in trouble once he gets enough. she needed to get stronger! only then would she be able to keep aster safe.
...
unaware about her family's concern faes was walking alongside alison holding sky's hand while few cars followed alongside the road.
"you dont like cars?" alison suddenly asked as they paused in front of a car store.
faes glanced at the various cars with a wry smile. it wasn't like she didn't like cars but she wasn't able to drive. in her previous life she didn't have money to even own a bike much less a car hence she never bothered to learn how to drive while in this life she was barely twelve years old and was still too tiny to be able to drive.
"i dont know how to drive" faes replied truthfully as alison watched her observing various cars with a spark in her eyes. he suddenly wanted to teach her how to drive and buy lots of cars for her. before he knew he found himself speaking
"do you want me to teach you?"
faes turned to alison surprised but then smiled genuinely excited
"i would love to but my body is still small to be able to drive, maybe after i grow up a little?"
with that faes and alison made a deal both happy.
after some more time sky had fallen asleep while faes turned to alison. she still needed to finish some things before they left for the capital city vietra in the night hence she have to leave.
"would you like to come to my introduction party?" faes asked. even in this world she barely had much friends. other than royal family of reptiliance, leo, master martin, master agni, alison, and her companions she was barely acquainted with anyone.
"sure just send me the details and i would be there" alison replied instantly feeling happy that faes was inviting him even only after barely knowing him.
"then i have to take my leave, i hope to meet you soon" with that faes entered the car following her and left for the mansion shiva owned.
"you prepare a gift for her highness and commander shiva along with one of the best dresses for me" alison ordered his aide after entering his own car. he was going to make sure no boys get close to faes.
...
once shiva was done with his work they left the mansion to go to city vietra. this time though shiva informed faes that they were taking the train along with all the soldiers and will get to the capital till morning.
faes excited to sit in a train again was looking forward to it. on earth the food in train wasn't much good and according to shiva they were going to have dinner in the train. faes looked forward to the food in trains for this world.
after boarding the train faes was observing the scenery outside. the trains were mot much different than those on earth only much fancier and luxurious.
sky too woke up sometime ago hungry and when dinner time arrived they were served the food by the railway staff.
when faes took bite of the food she frowned.
'the food here was worse than those in earth's trains!'
barely eating anything sky and faes filled their stomach in mystic fog castle after faes complained to kai about the food. they were able to enter mystic fog castle because they were assigned a private bedroom! a private bedroom in train! faes was shocked but then she found it reasonable after all shiva knew they were princesses. princesses were born to be pampered.
