Chapter 350
"I hope I don’t hear about the two of you running away from your tutors when I speak with them tomorrow. It seems far away right now, but it won’t be long before you are made queen of this kingdom so while I like you having your fun, do not skip your lessons to go play in streams," Amelia said, cutting into a slice of cake she had to enjoy with her peace.
Mara smiled, trying to appear innocent. She didn’t know her mother was aware of that. "Yes, mother."
Amelia held the fork with cake on it toward Mara for her to eat. "If you’re going to be sneaky, you need to be better so your father and I don’t find out about it. It would also help if you stay out of the sky when you are thinking of sneaking off somewhere. I might not fly, but I have eyes."
Mara took the fork from her mother and placed it in her mouth so she wouldn’t have to respond right away. Her parents never brought it up so she thought she hid it well. "It won’t happen again. Thank you for the cake, but is something wrong? You don’t let us eat cake before dinner."
"That is because then I will have to deal with the four of you not knowing how to calm down after eating sweets, but the cake is already here so there is no reason why you shouldn’t eat a little. I will get a piece for you after you drink some water," Amelia said to Silas.
Silas sat up to get the jar of water to pour himself some water. He wanted juice after flying around with his sisters and struggling to catch up to them, but he didn’t mind the water. Not when he could get cake right after it.
"Mother, when are you going to fly with us? Father says he wants to take us somewhere after dinner and we will have to fly to get there. It’ll be forever if we have to wait until you reach us in your carriage. I can teach you how to use your wings," Mara wanted.
It was fun to fly around with her siblings, but now she wanted to fly with her mother. Why travel in a carriage if you have wings?
"It is nice of you to offer your help, but it is not needed. I will use them one day, but not right now. Silas and your sister cannot fly for a long time so they will be riding in the carriage with me. It will be sooner than you think that I will be flying around with all of you. I have been learning since you were a baby, but I never took to the sky," Amelia replied.
