“Where did you get this!” Grandfather said in a high tone to me.
“Reclaration.” Answer me with a smile
I could see Grandpa's sad look on the letter. He loved his long-gone wife. Tears slowly coming down his cheeks seemed to be proof of how much love he had for his wife.
"You're Aurel, right?" Ask grandpa gently.
"Yes grandfather." I said cheerfully.
"Is your time empty this morning? Can this little lady accompany this old man for tea?" Grandfather invited me to sit down.
"Yes grandfather."
We enjoyed tea while having a light conversation, grandfather gave me a lot of questions.
“Aurel how old are you?” Grandpa asked while looking at me.
“Seven years, grandpa.” I answered while pointing seven fingers at Grandpa.
“I'll have the waiter pay attention to your food every day. Your body is much smaller than children your age.” Grandpa was worried.
“Good thanks grandpa.” I answered while enjoying the cake in front of me.

"Looks like miss is so happy today." Ishana said while preparing my lunch.
"Hehehe.. Yes, it." I said while laughing.
Today I am so happy to be able to accompany my grandfather to enjoy tea in his beloved garden. The first step I have passed, the next is to get my father's heart.
"Ishana, can you teach me how to make cookies?" I asked while enjoying the lunch that Ishana had prepared.
"Miss, why would you want to learn to make cookies all of a sudden?" Ask Ishana curiously.
"It's okay, just want to learn Ishana."
In my past life, I loved pastries. My late mother used to make pastries for me to enjoy with tea. And now I'm going to use cookies as a way to take Dad's heart.
“This lady is kitchen, and introduce her is a cook in this house Robert.” Ishana said while introducing the man with a full body as well as a unique thick mustache.
“Hai Uncle Robert.” I said a greeting.
“Gosh how cute this miss one is.” Robert's heart followed the stunned gazes of the servants around him.
“Your name is sweet once.” Said one of the servants.
“True miss.” Connect another waiter.
“If I meet the lady first, I will definitely apply to be your personal servant.” The other waiter that the servants followed nodded in agreement.
I need to earn the hearts of these servants, they will be of great help going forward.
Time passes so fast. Me, Ishana, and the house cook had spent about 3 hours learning to bake cookies. Finally after going through those 3 hours, the pastry for dad was done.
“Wahh, finally done yes miss.” Ishana is happy.
“Iyaa, Ishana.” Reply relieved.
“But... for whom is this pastry?” Ask Ishana curiously.
“Hehehe, for dad.” I answered while putting the cookies on the plate.
“Ohh for sir. May I help you with miss?” Ishana offers help.
“No need Ishana, I'll deliver it myself.” Answer me with a smile.

Geck..Geck..Geck..
"Dad.." I said with a tray of cookies and tea.
The cold gaze did not care to welcome my presence in the room. It feels like an unbearable gripping atmosphere in there. Maybe if this was me in the past I would have cried and ran out of the room. But this time it can't happen, I have to get my heart.
"Dad worked all day, Aurel made cookies and tea for dad." I said while giving my sweetest smile.
"Ohh since when did my little daughter start caring about me." Answer me with a cynical smile.
It felt like my whole body was frozen. Father's answer makes the spirit in this self extinct. Did I fail this time? Can't I get my father's love in the least? Am I hoping for life this time?
The man stood up, rising from his seat. Leaving behind all the important documents he had to complete and sitting on a long sofa in front of his desk. "It seems like this guy wants to try a princess-made pastry that's very considerate of him."
My father's words surprised me. I-i. succeeded? Will you notice me after this? I promise to save everyone, including my father, grandfather, aunt, and those who love me. I will protect you and this family.
"Yes, Iitha.." Happy speech.
I was so nervous that afternoon. I looked at the man with a handsome face capable of hypnotizing all the women in this empire. The man enjoyed every bite of the pastry that entered his mouth. Did you like the taste? Time passed by for so long, with a thumping feeling every moment.
"Thank you, you can go." Said the father while cleaning his hands with a handkerchief from his pants pocket.
Is the cake not so good? Or does the tea I serve have a strange taste? In desperation I got off my dad's couch. Walking with a feeling of disappointment towards the exit while holding back tears.
"Aurel from tomorrow comes every afternoon to my father's office. Bring cookies and tea to enjoy together." Said father while reworking the pending documents earlier.
"Nine father." Reply spirit. While opening the exit.
"From tomorrow ask the waiter to help you bring the tray, don't bring it yourself." Fatherly
"Yeah dad."
In front of my father's study, my tears began to flow. This time it was not tears of sadness that fell, but tears of happiness. Dad started to notice me.

Geck..Geck..Geck..
"My master is here." Say a man with round glasses and long brown hair tied up.
"From now on please pay attention to Aurel." I said while remembering our moment.
At that time I felt that the girl was pretty sweet. The hatred from Audrey's death that was in my heart was reduced. The girl who never once wanted me to meet, apparently chose great attention to me.
"Have you spent any time with that lady?" Ask Henry my trust assistant.
"Yes"
"All the way to the master's room, I listened to the servants talking about the lady." Said Henry who made me stop working on the documents in front of me.
"The waiters praised about the lady's sweet and cute demeanor. They received such sincere attention from Miss Aurel today." Henry kept me glued.
"The girl who was originally timid and reserved, was now able to take the hearts of the servants." My heart while remembering Aurel's personality first.
"Miss also spent time with the Great Lord in Keukenhof's garden." Henry said to my surprise.
"Spending time with grandfather? In his favorite park?" My words are amazed
"From now on look at Aurel well and raise 5 times the budget for him." I continued while returning to work on the documents.
"Good sir." Henry answered and went out.
"Audrey our son is full of mysteries isn't he? He looks like you."
