Zeyn opened his eyes, feeling the glare of light that instantly pierced his eyes. He got up, sat down on the bed and yawned widely and felt his energy had recovered completely after resting all night.
He heard a breath from beside him. Looking to the side, it turned out to be true, there was Charlotte who was fast asleep there. Recalling what happened last night, she realized that she was in Charlotte's room right now, and that it was worse that she slept here.
‘Sials. Due to my exhaustion last night, I fell asleep. How'this? What should I explain to Father and Mother?’
Zeyn got out of bed and immediately left Charlotte's room, because she didn't want to stay in there too long, after all she shouldn't get too close to the child Charlotte, rather than having the soul of a grown man.
Her body was indeed a small child, so it should be fine, but she still had the pride to not touch the little girl as per Charlotte.
“Finally you wake up too.”
“Eh..” Zeyn looked back, clearly seeing his mother smiling at him.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
“Er... Y–Ya, good luck once.”
“Good. The Princess managed to provide sleeping pills for the Prince who was very tired that night.”.
“A–What are Mothers talking about, yes.?”
“TheIntimate..” Vierra approached her face to Zeyn with a serious look. “You did nothing to Charlotte, right?” Ask.
“Of course not! What are you talking about?”
“Good. Mother can calm down. Then let's go to your dad's room.”
“Eh? Want what?”
“Didn't Mom tell you last night that there was something to talk about. But you're sleeping in Charlotte's room. Luckily Charlotte patiently always waits for you and chants songs, even when you are asleep even though she still does.”
‘He still does? Do you think Charlotte actually has a special ability of her voice so that it can produce sleeping pills for people.?’ Think hard Zeyn.
‘No, no. Not likely. Surely it's just because I'm too tired.’ Zeyn thought of not pushing himself too much next time.
“What to talk about? Sounds important and unimportant at the same time.”
“Why can you say this doesn't matter? Though this is important, eliminate the insignificance.” Vierra.
“Soalya, if this is important, then it should have been from last night Mother will wake me.”
“Ohh... Well, that's Mom's intention, anyway. But you know! Cute Charlotte to forbid Mother and continue to spoil you. Kyaa~! She is so cute!”
“...”
Zeyn walked down the aisle, thinking about what the Father and Mother were talking about. Something that is serious and should be discussed from last night, but because he was exhausted last night, yes then he must also get ready today.
Zeyn opened the library door, looking at the calm and relaxed Charlotte reading a book by the window. So, he picked up one of the books on the shelf and approached Charlotte.
“Good morning.”
“It's noon.”
“Hmmfh... So what's up?”
“What?” Zeyn asked confusedly.
“There's something you want to talk to me about, right?”
“Hmm... Yes, so it is.”
“I heard from the Servants not to enter Mr. Geiur's office, because Mrs Vierra, Mr. Geiur, and you are talking about important matters.” Charlotte.
“Hehe... If Mom hears you still call her ‘Nyonya’, she might pout.”
“I–It doesn't matter! L–After all, I also need time to get used to calling him that.” Charlotte turned her face away and slightly covered her with a book. “Ah! Don't change the subject!” Her speech.
“Good, good. There's something I want to talk to you about.”
“What is it.?”
Zeyn inhaled, then threw it away. “I also just found out about the hereditary Tradition of my Father's Family, if for example.boys from the Leonardo family, when they turn 10 years old, will undergo special training.” Reveal it.
“Special exercise?” Charlotte was curious, but also confused.
“Huft... I also just found out this, so I was a bit surprised too. In essence, this particular exercise should be done in order to prove that they deserve to carry the name ‘Leonardo’ as their surname. And, this exercise will run for approximately 3 years.”.
“L–Aftertime. T–But isn't that nice? Because you can get stronger anyway. You see, you will also definitely become the Heirs of this family. Hihihi..”.
“Ya, problem... This exercise is done outside, traveling to and fro, from one city to another, to the other country or even another continent.”
Charlotte was speechless, surprised when she heard it, because she felt reluctant. He didn't want to be far away from Zeyn, let alone Zeyn going away for 3 years. A very long time for him, for everyone who feels the same as him.
“Y–Well, i–that's good. It i–it can make you become independent and more insightful, like Mr. Geiur. I support you!”
“Thank you.” Zeyn smiled calmly, then breathed a sigh of relief. “I'll leave tomorrow. I have to get ready now.” Her speech.
“T–Wait... Tomorrow then? I–It was very fast!”
“The knight who escorted me to this special training ground, can only be assigned tomorrow, because the next few days Father has a lot of busyness in the Empire, Mother also goes with him.”
“B–So, yes..” Charlotte clasped tightly onto her book, her head lowered down, making Zeyn unable to see her current expression.
“How about we make an appointment?” Zeyn stood up and held his pinky.
“Appointment?”
“Yes. When we meet again, on the next 3 years, I will give you a special gift.”
“Really?!”
“Yes. Appointment..”
They hooked their little fingers to each other, Charlotte was given a hint of hope and fun. Zeyn felt more relieved and it was time to mentally prepare him, welcoming the problems to come.
