Hearing Emi's words, an involuntary smile appeared on my face. It's not like I hadn't heard these words before; in my old world, when I was a child, I had already told this dream to the doctors, but all I received in response was a rather strange expression.
I remember it was at that time that I started thinking that maybe I would never leave the hospital. Anyway, it was thanks to this that I became quite sensitive to empty words. However, what Emi just told me came from the bottom of her heart.
"Thank you. Knowing that means a lot to me"
I said as I looked at Emi. Somehow, I felt that the mood had gotten awkward. I guess talking about the past really isn't very nice depending on the situation, but that was quickly replaced by an animated voice that echoed through the place.
"That was a very nice story to hear, but let's put that aside for now. I'm sure now that you and Emi are in a relationship, you want to know as much as you can about her, don't you?"
As soon as I looked at the person in question, I saw that Asia was looking in my direction with a smile on her face. To tell you the truth, I really wanted to know more about Emi. The only things I know about Emi so far are what kind of food she likes and her future aspirations.
"I'm sure he does. By the way, I heard something interesting while talking to Ren's parents"
Said Aria, drawing the attention of everyone around. As soon as we looked towards Aria, she was looking at me with a smile on her face.
"Apparently, Ren and Emi have the same birthday"
Hearing Aria's words, everyone was momentarily surprised, but soon recovered, with Asia being the first to speak.
"What's this? What's this? It looks like the two of them were meant to be together"
Hearing Asia's words, Aria let out a laugh as she looked at Asia.
"Fufufu, this is just the beginning. Why don't we go to the dining room? It will be a good way to end the evening"
After Aria's words, we talked some more before we started to move to the dining room. It's not like we didn't eat before, but to tell you the truth, we didn't eat as much as we wanted to. You see, in noble parties, we need to follow certain rules of etiquette. Unfortunately, this makes us eat less than we really want to. Honestly, nobility has some pretty stupid rules, but who am I to judge that? While I was thinking about it, we finally made it to the dining room.
After that, the conversation started to unfold naturally. Most of the time, the questions were about me, so my father and my mother had to do their best to answer the questions. At least they didn't seem so nervous anymore for being in the presence of the king and the queen. Although I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing, my sister wasn't paying the slightest attention to the conversation. All she could see was the candies on the table.
"So Ren has always been smart since he was a kid?"
The one who asked this was Albert, who was quite glazed over in the conversation. I really don't know why he was so interested in my childhood, but it wasn't something I wanted to hide either, so I really didn't care if my parents told or not.
"I don't really remember when it started. To tell you the truth, it came at a time when we just thought it was normal for a small child to read books and know complicated words, and that Ren was our first child, so we didn't really know how things worked"
Said my mother as she turned to me with a complicated look on her face.
"It was only after a few years after Ren was born that we realized that normally 1-year-old children couldn't read books"
Hearing my mother's words, everyone instinctively turned to me with wide eyes. It's not that they didn't know that I started learning to read early, I think the fact is that they didn't know it was so early.
"By the way"
As soon as that voice echoed, everyone instinctively turned to Asia, who had one hand on her chin.
"The checkers game that is currently popular was created by Ren if I remember correctly. How old was he when he developed that game?"
Hearing Emi's words, everyone's curiosity was piqued again, and soon all eyes fell on my parents.
"If I remember correctly... it was when Ren was 5 years old. He told me he wanted my help to make a game to play with Anna, so I helped him. To tell you the truth, I didn't think the game would become so popular"
Said my father as he looked at me. As soon as I noticed his gaze, I shrugged as well.
"I didn't think it would be so successful either. To tell you the truth, I created this game thinking of Anna. I didn't think older people would be interested in it"
I said nonchalantly.
"He's also very good with swords"
Lucas said as he looked at me. His short blond hair was quite similar to Aria, Asia, and Cedric's. You could really see the genetic similarities working when you looked at those three, although Emi and her mother were not that different either.
"Did Ren ever do any fencing training as a child?"
Lucas asked as he looked at my parents.
"Not that I remember. Ren spent most of his time reading some book"
Said my mom. To tell you the truth, all I did was adapt some fighting techniques from my past life while using the sword. I don't think it's really noteworthy since I would surely lose to someone with more experience.
