"father"
"yes?"
"what kind of mother?" tanya Rere arrived.
"why are you asking?" asked Ano a little surprised.
"i just thought all this time I don't remember what mom was like, can you tell me?"
"emm your mother's a beautiful woman"
"s*al when I myself was also curious about your mother" another Ano inner.
Rere looked only at his father who looked confused, the boy then slept soundly until the morning, the morning when he woke up his father was no longer with him, Emma told me that the Emperor had gone out early in the morning.
Ano and 3 bodyguards went to the forest to hunt, while Rere stayed in the fila with Emma, Bel and a dozen of his subordinates, after Rere took a bath and had breakfast the boy returned to the market, he wanted to give Luis some fruit and pudding.
Arriving at the meeting place yesterday, Luis was sitting with 3 children, they were seen the same age as him, from a distance Rere noticed that the four children were sharing food, clearly seen 2 pieces of dry bread that they divide by half.
"Luis!" greet Rere.
"oh hello miss Nita" exclaimed Luis passionately.
Different reactions are shown by the three friends Luis, they look confused at the arrival of a beautiful girl dressed in luxury, even one of the girls his age is seen hiding behind his friend.
"haii Aki Nita" Rere said.
"ha-hello" the three replied nervously.
"you don't get nervous like that, this Miss Nita who yesterday gave me a bag of oranges, she baiiikk sangaaat" Luis said.
"i brought you again" Rere said, giving Emma the bag.
"wahh, what is this?" luis asked very curious.
"it's a pudding, it's very suitable to eat when it's this hot" Rere explained.
The four children in front of him looked amazed by the beautiful scenery of the pudding that Rere was carrying, they showed the same expression as Rere 2 years ago when they first saw the good and luxurious food.
"thank you Miss Nita, you're very kind" Luis said politely.
"same same"
Rere saw the four children in front of him eating voraciously, of course half the dry bread would not make their stomachs full, fortunately Rere brought a lot of pudding and other foods.
"your name is very good🥺" said one of Luis' glassy friends.
"hhhwhy are your eyes watering?" ask Rere confused.
"this is the first time I have eaten such delicious food, and only this time there is a noble child who is not disgusted to see our presence, plus the lady even sat with us, I'm really grateful to be able to meet with a noble lady who is as good as you"
Rere who heard the boy's words just smiled without replying to his words, it is true that children like them are often not appreciated, many nobles who act arbitrarily to them, it is true that children like them are often not appreciated, although not all nobles are bad but most of them feel disgusted and dirty to see street children.
When he first met Luis Rere, who claimed to be a noble daughter, the boy would never be able to acknowledge his status as Heibe's princess in front of a child like Luis, he understands how children like Luis feel when they meet someone of high status, they are often depressed and frightened.
"are you always together?"
"yes we are often together, as fellow orphans we often share" said one of them.
"but Luis still has a father"
"Luis? really true?" ask Rere curiously.
But Luis' reaction looked very uncomfortable, the boy looked upset and like he wanted to cry, even his three friends immediately smothered each other's mouths after seeing Luis' expression.
"i don't have a father" Luis said.
" ... " just silence happened.
"oh yeah I also bring fruits, you can share them, right?" said Rere melting the atmosphere.
"wahh what is this fruit?"
"which one? oh this? it's called Stoberi it tastes sweet and a little sour"
"yes it's wine" Rere replied kindly.
Thanks to the idea of the atmosphere that had been quiet again crowded, Luos also looks not sad anymore and eats with his friend, but the girl who was the same age Rere just grasping the fruit in his hand.
"why don't you eat?"
"i'm already full, miss, this fruit can I give it to uncle?" ask the boy in doubt.
"no"
"y-yahhh" he said glumly.
"did you see that?" point Rere at one of the bags in Bel's hand.
"yes?"
"it's food for uncle, so you just eat the fruit" Rere said.
"is that really food for uncle? so can I eat this fruit?" tanyanya looks excited.
Rere just smiled and nodded his head, after telling a lot and giving the rest of his luggage, Rere said goodbye to go home because it was past lunch time, and again Emma reminded me that the Emperor had lunch in Fila.
In the train Rere kept thinking about Luis' previous reaction, the usually cheerful and talkative boy was immediately moody and sad after his friend spoke of his father, who was a little bit of a bitch, Rere became a little curious about what happened to Luis, what else the boy did not admit that he had a father.
"what time is it?"
"degs"
Rere had just stepped foot into the fila but suddenly the cold voice of his father had welcomed his arrival, the boy was a little afraid and nervous because he was worried that his father would be angry.
"sorry father" said Rere immediately realized because it was wrong.
"from today onwards when you return to the palace you are not allowed to go out"
"DAARR"
The words Ano had just said felt like lightning in broad daylight, Rere immediately realized that his father was really angry with him.
"b-but dad.."
"didn't come out or did I cancel the construction plan?"
"no no! i-i will obey" Rere replied directly.
Honestly, Rere was just happy because he finally had a friend of his age to chat, but when his father had forbidden how else, Rere did not want because of his momentary selfishness his father would completely cancel the construction of the orphanage.
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the horse-drawn carriage was back on its way to the palace, the difference this time was that Rere was with Emma in the carriage because her father chose to ride on horseback, the mood and face of the 6-year-old boy looked very gloomy, Emma did not dare to talk because the child looked almost crying.
"d-dad!" exclaim Rere from inside the train.
"what?"
"forgive me yes I am guilty" he said, holding back tears.
"guilty of what?"
"i broke my father's orders yesterday, I'm sorry"
"have you looked at him?"
" ... " nodded quickly.
"stop the train"
"good"
"Emma's back in your carriage"
"good Your Majesty" the girl replied immediately hurried over.
Ano re-entered the chariot and his horse was led by his bodyguard, the gallant white horse being rode by only one man during his lifetime, the Emperor.
