It turned out that it was true that Grandfather was not at their secret meeting place. The cats are not there either. Anastasia peered around. Decided to walk, but secretly let it not be found out.
The boy had no idea that all along the reason why he, the little boy, had not been caught by anyone was because Grandpa, aka Eris, made sure everyone pretended not to see him.
And the reason why Eris forbade him to go up today was .. because this was the day Erekleus returned from duty.
When Anastasia was busy sneaking around, Erekleus landed on the helipad. The man looked at the surface of the lake every time he came home, holding back the longing for his son that he had never seen even knowing if he was a girl or a boy.
"I'm sure your son misses you too, Young Master." Ariadne rubbed her back gently. "You can go to the lake again after resting."
Erechleus nodded slowly, about to walk when he heard the sound of pegs from the rose bushes. Spontaneous Erekleus paused, staring at the bushes.
"Daddy's pet cat may get lost," he says. "Care, take that and give it back. He'd go crazy if he lost his cat."
"Yes, Young Master."
Icarus went to the bushes, opened them.
But instead of determining the cat, which he found was actually a small child, glaring with his mouth closed.
"Eh?"
Anastasia who is hiding because she remembers not to be seen anyone keeps her mouth shut. The boy's face began to pale, imagining how angry Mother would be if she knew she was rising to the surface.
Different from Ikarus who was glued empty.
"The emperor? Take the cat and give it back."
Ikarus swallowed the saliva. Although there are still some Young Masters who are not married and each Young Master even has more than one wife, only one has children under the age of five years.
"It's not Mr. Eris' pet, Young Master." Ikarus turned around, while hiding the Naughty Cat. "This is Mr. Ares' pet snake."
Erekleus nodded. "All right."
The man walked away, but Ariadne felt that there was a discrepancy in Ikarus' attitude. The woman did not follow Erekleus but looked at Ikarus.
"Young Master Ares isn't it forbidden to roam?"
Ikarus is rigid.
"What is that, Ikarus?" sue Ariadne, suspicious.
"Mrs—"
"Hiks."
Ariadne's in the sculpting. Hurriedly he pulled Icarus' body shifted, opened the bushes and found a 'Snake' crying sobbing.
"Huhuhu, snake." Anastasia sniffled, thinking that there was a snake there. "Ana was afraid of snakes, hyks. Ana doesn't like snakes, huhuhu. Bundaaaaa."
Ariadne immediately asked Icarus to take the child, removing it from the bushes where she was hiding until it was mistaken for a cat and a snake.
How could this kid be here? Shouldn't Sanya be keeping him from ever rising to the surface?
"Calm down, kid. There are no snakes." Ariadne patted the top of her head. Pity also saw him sobbing in fear. "It was just a lie. Just jokes. Don't cry."
Anastasia kept crying. "Chocolate" said the boy. "Hiks. Want some chocolate."
Chocolate boy?
Ikarus and Ariadne exchanged glances but soon Ikarus left, taking the chocolate from the main building to give to the crying boy.
Whatever it is, he didn't cry.
Anastasia immediately sparkled. Struck with chocolate from Ikarus' hand, it filled his mouth until it bulged. The fear of snakes instantly went from his brain.
"Where's your mother, son?" Ariadne could finally ask. "Why are you hanging around here? Is your mother here?"
"No." Anastasia nodded honestly. "Ana came to see Grandpa but Grandpa wasn't around."
"Grandfather?"
"Yes, Grandpa Cat."
Eris, they both thought they were spontaneous.
The only one who keeps cats and has the title of grandfather here is just him. They both immediately understood that Eris was secretly meeting Erekleus' son when Erekleus was not allowed.
Well, it's not against the rules because Eris is free to do it but better not. Shouldn't have.
Ariadne smiled. "No. That's not Grandpa."
"Then? Why does his face look like Grandpa's?"
"Eitherway. Maybe it's a coincidence." Ariadne could not let this child know of Eris and Erekleus' relationship because it would make her know who her father was.
His orders said no.
"Go home, son. Your mother must be worried. Promise me not to go up to this place again."
Anastasia scrunched up her face a sign she didn't want to. But Ariadne just rubbed her head before handing her over to Ikarus to be escorted away.
"Tell Aunt Sanya not to let her pass by again" whispered Ariadne silently.
"Good."
"See you, Little Girl."
Anastasia waved brightly. "See you, Beautiful Aunt."

Mute just remembered that today Erekleus is back from duty. He always left three months or five months ago to go home a week before leaving again.
Well, Mute didn't say she missed him or anything. After living her life long enough and stopping being a foolish country girl, Mute realizes that she is not even close enough to Erekleus to fall in love with him.
Mute really is just a girl he hamili accidentally on.
"Not to think, Mute, don't." The woman shook her head. "Sanya is still alive even if she does not marry again. Just calm down."
Mute moved out of his chair, decided to go look for Anastasia. It was found that the boy was in Sanya's room, asking her something.
"Aunt Sanya."
"Huh?"
Mute peeked silently.
"Did Grandpa have a brother?"
Grandpa? Who does he call Grandpa?
"Yes, have," replied Sanya. "His brother was a madman named Elios."
"So that Grandpa-like uncle was named Elios?"
"Uncle?" He looked at Anastasia. "Elios is in another mountain, boy, so it's impossible for him to be here. Uncle who do you mean?"
"Uncle who looks like Grandpa. She thinks Ana is a cat. Then her friend said Ana was a snake when Ana hated snakes."
Sanya shaking hands. "I don't understand the talk of children. Because it's not important to forget it."
"But Ana is curious!"
"I'm not being quiet!"
"No way!"
"Whose grandfather?" Mute finally raises herself and immediately asks a question. "Anastasia, who did you meet? Whose grandpa?"
Anastasia immediately rounded her shocked eyes. Without further ado he pointed at Sanya who was hissing due to being bestowed trouble.
"Servatories." Sanya lied even though Anastasia's grandfather was her biological grandfather. "She often comes to pick up the file and gives Ana some chocolate."
Mute was suspicious but as soon as she heard it, she couldn't help believing it. She was afraid that Anastasia might meet Narendra.
"Ana, come here."
The boy came.
"Mother is tired of working." Mute. "Mother's company playing, hm?"
Anastasia nodded brightly. Pretending to be nothing, his little head was still curious as to who the man with a face like Grandpa was.
If Grandpa wasn't around, would his brother give Anastasia some chocolate?
