Chapter 45: Allowed to kiss you
"Big brother, what have you made?" The young girl asked while the young boy started laughing.
Lucius chuckled at the children’s enthusiasm, holding back a laugh as the young boy teased him.
"Big brother doesn’t know how to make a castle," the boy giggled.
Lucius leaned back, trying to defend his creation. "Hey! That’s a barrack. You kids don’t even know anything," he replied with a playful smirk, proud of his "barrack."
The young girl tilted her head, her brows furrowing. "A barrack? But why? We need a castle where a princess lives, then her prince will come to save her," she explained, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Before Lucius could respond, the young boy piped up, full of energy. "No! It’s a castle for a prince, who fights dragons!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide with excitement.
Lucius raised an eyebrow at the boy’s declaration. "A prince fighting dragons, huh? That sounds more like my kind of story," he said, smiling down at the boy, who nodded eagerly.
Layla, watching the playful exchange, couldn’t stop herself from laughing softly. "Why don’t we make both? A castle for the princess and a barrack for the prince to fight his dragons," she suggested, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
"Oh that’s a lovely idea!" Both the girl and boy said together.
"So, I’m that prince and this young lady is the princess," Lucius said.
"But I want to be the prince," the boy said.
