Chapter 5: Getting to know the house
Upon leaving the room for the first time, Aziz was greeted by a luxurious and well-lit hallway.
Looking around and admiring his mother’s good taste in architecture, he was caught by surprise when he came across paintings of himself. Gazing at the paintings, Aziz wondered when his mother had made them, since whenever they were in the room, she only stayed in bed holding him.
’She must have painted these while I was sleeping—after all, with how little energy I have, I spend more time asleep than awake’,Aziz reasoned.
"Wait for me, I’m coming with you." Turning around, Isis saw her lady quickly leaving the room to join them.
After Astrid joined them, the three of them continued on their way. As they walked through the house, his mother, along with Isis, introduced him to various rooms, like the living room, kitchen, and even the training room.
Aziz was slightly puzzled by his mother and Isis. He didn’t really think it was normal for two adults to give a tour of a huge house to a five-month-old child.
"Well, customs and traditions differ from person to person, and from place to place," Aziz resigned himself.
After seeing the entire house from the inside, the three of them went to the backyard, which was truly beautiful, with glowing and exotic flowers he had never seen before, and a huge tree standing in the middle of the yard.
Aziz assumed that, on sunny days, that tree would provide a very nice and relaxing shade to sit under.
