Chapter 216
The afternoon went by with the three leisurely enjoying the stroll of the working sun. It was only at her request that they commenced their way back into the hallways under the Palace’s roof.
Only once they were inside it, young Dioclecià acted one last time in his older brother’s favour. Announcing a sudden leave, The child said his farewells to the kind woman hiding innocent intentions.
"Ah! I ought. to hurry! There are. pending studies. I must solve. by the end of today!" — A monotonous pace in his words was apparent, however...
’These b*stards... So even in medieval times, homework exists...’ — The unique woman thought, finding his speech normal for he usually stuttered when nervous.
’... Was he not free from studies today?’ — Zeleskiaz wondered instead.
"I will meet you after the Ball, Marianne!" — The Third Prince added, ignorant at what their eyes hid behind. To then give the push for them to stroll closer. — "Brother, please see that the Lady arrives safely as I need to go... Do accept my Brother’s arm, Marianne. Brother is strong!"
’... Yeah... I get it... For the thousandth time...’ — She answered in her corners as she watched the child flee away.
"..." — Also confused, the Crown Prince pondered in shared silence. — ’What is his intention??... Children are odd.’
"... May I, My Lady?"
Shoving the wonder Zeleskiaz offered his arm as the child said.
’... Well... Dioclecià asked that I accept, so...’ — Wrapping her hand around his limb she commenced. — ’It’s weird that Dioclecià keeps repeating things I already kind of know though.’
Feeling his toughness she walked by his side, bothered that most of what the Little Prince had conversed about that afternoon were things he admired his older brother for.
