"...then Morie said that she jump too!" Baby Shana was even jumping in the bed while sharing his stories with the twins.
"So? Is that why you are jumping here?" I was holding my laughter when I ask him that.
Baby Shana nodded happily. "I want to jump higher too."
It's already been a few days since I stopped dreaming about that young child, and Eiliff even said that my complexion looks better than the last time.
And, I woke up every morning having this small kid beside me!
"My baby Shana so..so so cute!" I took him to my arms and hug. My smile became wider when he hugged me back with giggles.
"Are you enjoying him that much?"
I roll my eyes when I heard his cold voice. He's been in that mood too since this morning.
"Yup!" I tried to make my voice lively.
He sighed at my answer. "By the way, Baley said that he already brought kid clothes for that brat." He even pointed his finger.
Tsk.
I pull baby Shana closer to me for him not to see that pointing finger of Eiliff. "Then, we'll dress him up later. Am so excited.."
"Tsk, that kid is Sahana are you aware of that?!" Eiliff said angrily.
"I'm aware of that, still.." I cupped baby Shana's cute cheeks. "As long as you are still a baby like this, I will take care of you, you like that? Hmm? Baby?"
Baby Shana's eyes shine so bright. "Yesh!"
Eiliff finally left the room, his face looked like he was defeated by something. He's really been annoyed easily too.
"What do you think is wrong with him?" I blurted out suddenly that made baby Shana stops giggling.
"Papa is..?" He pouted, putting his finger to his cute lips! "..is papa mad at me?"
"No! Why would he get mad at you?!" I panicked when I heard him ask that.
You, Eiliff! Making this baby think about that?!
"But, he's always angry when you carry me mama." Kid Sahana retorted back.
Tsk. I will kill you Eiliff! If this kid cry because of you, I swear to kill you!
Days passed already and Eiliff is still grumpy whenever baby Shana's with me. So, the only solution about that is to ignore his moods.
"Why is papa so angry?"
"Is papa mad at me?"
"Why does papa always frowned at me."
There are few more questions that kid Sahana kept asking. And since I am not good with answering his questions, I will let Chess takes care of him.
"That's why I am telling you not to get so grumpy whenever kid Sahana is around." I tried not to sound nagging to him.
It's night time now and there's just me and Eiliff in my room. And as for baby Shana, he will be spending the night with the twins.
"It's just a good thing that he gets along with the twins. Even if he is known as Sir Sahana, the strongest spellcaster in this world he is in a body of a four year old!"
Eiliff didn't said a word, instead sighed and looked at me with a distaste look.
I really wanted to pull his hair! Rolling his eyes like that? Sighing right after I finished my sentence.
"What else?"
Trying to calm my nerves, I close my eyes silently counting numbers from one to ten.
'Five...six..'
"Is there something else you wanted to remind me? Should I just turn that child back to his original form?"
My eyes sting hearing him said that. I know Sahana' adult form is great, but thinking that joyous kid, rather baby Shana becoming an adult hurt my heart.
"If you ever do that, don't even think of talking to me!" I said in an angry voice.
He knew so well how I admired that kid Sahana, yet he has the guts to threatened me with that. The hell with him being the strongest magician!!!
If I cannot hurt him physically then I could give him silent treatment! That's the most basic revenge I could do to him!
He gave me a cold stare before leaving the room. Well then, I just roll my eyes too.
So rude.
"Everything has been prepared Lady Prestine." The madame's voice was a bit sad.
I gave her a smile. "Thank you so much for taking care of us."
She hugged me while saying.. "If ever you need anything just send me a letter, or you can ask Master Eiliff to contact me using magic."
"I will do that." I aggreed while hugging her back.
Today will be the day that we will leave for the next town. It took us quite long for our stay here since I got sick. And Eiliff did something to stop me from dreaming about that child.
It was good, though I worried about that child's situation. He only appears in my dream, and whenever that happens, it takes me more days before waking up.
"Lady Prestine!"
I find that cute voice calling my name. The twins, holding both kid Sahana' hand.
"You are leaving already?" It was Amorie who asked.
I nodded at her. "Yes, we have to leave for the next town. Thank you for taking care of is while we are here..."
The little cutie became emotional! Aww, I hate to say this, but she is still cute.!
There were tons of reminders the twins said to baby Shana. Like if he needs a break, or need snacks while in the carriage. It's just so cute of them reminding baby Shana.
"My Lady..." it was Flora.
"Yes?"
"Everything's ready now. We can depart anytime."
As she said that, I tried to smile facing the family who took us in.
The three idiots stands behind me, bidding their goodbyes as well. Thanking the viscount couple during our stay here.
Baley's sincere words are really unusual for my ears. A noble man, was he? They did mention about Baley's background before entering the tower of magicians.
Now that I remember about it, the red tower must be a prestigious place for them. Anyhow, they won't be bragging about being above the law, tsk. I hope they don't play around being so high and mighty!
Time came and we left the Viscount's estate.
Inside the carriage, Flora, who's sitting across me is carrying kid Sahana that is now sleeping.
Chess and Arcon were assigned to be the coachman, while Baley is sitting beside me.
"What happened to Eiliff?" I blurted out a question. He left after our little conversation last night and haven't been back since this morning.
"The master said he'll be following us after some errands." Baley was the one who answered me.
I sighed hearing him said that. How could Eiliff do such thing! Almost, every night, he'll stay with me until morning, but he never once told me about those errands he usually goes!
'So annoying..'

"My lady, please put this cover on."
I open my eyes to see Baley's worried gaze.
"From this point...onward it will be colder.."
"H-huh?" I was a bit confuse because of his action, neither noticing about the weather. "W-w-what happened?" Asking him while I'm trying to fix myself.
"You dozed off my lady.." Even if Baley was smiling, I get the feeling that he is actually worried about something.
"Y-yes?" I cleared my throat and straighten my back. "I only took a nap? Right? And I didn't see the child."
I heard Baley sighed, even Flora looked like she was relieved.
"Pardon me milady.." He said before carefully covering me with a coat.
"Thanks..." I smiled. "The weather suddenly changes, does that mean we are at the town's nearby?"
"It will take few more hours, my lady." It was Flora who answered.
"There are quite few words Master Eiliff wanted you to remember when we finally step foot to the town." Baley
My brows twitch. "Are you saying that Eiliff will be late?"
"Well..." Baley avoided my gaze. "..Master will surely be late."
"Isn't he a bit annoying?" I mumbled through my gritted teeth.
"A..ah.." Baley reacted of what I said. Though the way he did that was a bit nervous.
"...The master is currently busy, he is working with the Prince right now milady." Flora said in a calm voice.
I smiled to Flora's sweet smile. "Then be it. It's just that.. he didn't mention anything about that."
"He'll be back in no time milady, you shouldn't worry about the master." Baley
"Who's worrying who?" I mumbled through my breath. I got annoyed suddenly, and it's Eiliff's abrupt absence is the reason!
'...indeed, annoying.!'
