New Flag!

Arden stared at Rose for a few minutes with his friendly stare that made Rose tremble in fear. He waited till Rose is standing in front of him before looking down at his plate and all the contents of it.

Chicken meat, mashed potato and some vegetables on the side, his mouth was simply become watery while he stares at the food. All this time while Hans is beside him, confused on his request he hasn't make clear of.

'Hehe, this meal would be delicious' He continues staring at for a few more seconds while he gulped his saliva.

"Sir?" Bob disrupted his thought and brought his awareness back.

He startled and quickly regain his way of talking, "Ah yes! As I was saying, cook me salmon for my next breakfast, you can go now, I have something to talk with Bob and Rose," Hans looked at him shocked.

He is raising one of his eyebrow in confusion, while at the same time, surprised "But that's the food normal people ate sir" Arden heard him but proceed to take a spoonful of mashed potatoes and stuffed it in his mount and swallow it before answering him.

"I miss the taste" Hans nodded lightly in understatement and quickly left the room with his polite manners.

Arden looked at the door as it was being closed and just smiled lightly. He then proceeds to eat his food at the plate while taking his time and enjoying it.

The salty and a little bit sweet flavour exploded in his mouth, his tongue taste the flavour as it dances inside his mouth right after he chews it.

All the while Rose just standing in front of him, still trembling but at the same time filled with confusion. She didn't know what to do in that situation and just stand.

Some thought came up in her mind as he just stood there, 'Should run for the door? But it will be no use' She sighed and didn't know what to do.

Arden raises his head and saw Rose trembling in front of him. He just decided to stop what is he doing while finishing the foods he already put in his mouth.

He cleaned his mouth with a napkin beside all the plates all this time and just smiled while doing nothing at all.

His expression stayed the same while he is having thought in his mind 'I should mess with her!'

He quickly regained his awareness of surrounding and just sat at his seat while relaxing. He sighed once again and look below the table as if there is something there.

Once again, his body stopped and his mind started wandering on its own 'Well, I need a babysitter for both of them and since she has worked together with Cassandra before, I think it would be a great match!' Wall this time, Rose just standing there, still in fear and confusion. But now also nervously sweating and shaking.

"So, Rose, you remember what I said yesterday? Well, you must have heard about the happy new, right?" Rose stood there having the same expression and slowly gathering all of her willpower to open her mouth just to answer this simple question.

"Y-Yes si-sir" Arden smirked before slouching at his table and putting his hand as a support of his head.

��Well, since I'm at a happy mood today, I went back on that word and since I lack of babysitter, your punishment from now is to be the babysitter of my children forever!" Rose just stared at him.

She quickly calmed down and not trembling anymore, while filling in confusion, she breaks down crying at floor kneeling at the floor and just repeating "thank you, my lord"

Arden just smiled before saying more things out of his mouth "You can pack your things and move to Cassandra's bedroom, there should be 2 bed there and also… apologize to her!"

Cassandra still crying and slowly stood up from her kneeling position and left the room. Arden just looked at her while finishing his delicious food.

His food became more delicious as he thinks "Making people's day better made my food taste better!" And he quickly finished it while Bob still at the room waiting for him to finish his food.

After he finished his food, Bob rushed to it and quickly grabbed the plate and carefully walking towards the door to leave the room.

"Bob, after you have done, bring your canvas and painting tool, I know you can paint stuff," The fact he knew Bob can paint shocked him and he fastened his walking speed.

'What should I tell him to paint?' Arden thought to himself while waiting for Bob to return to him.

'Should I tell him to pain my old idea or just making a new one?' Still thinking…

'Is the golden dragon on a white background seems too good to be my flag? I'm just a baron after all…' still waiting and thinking…

'I'll just go with my old idea, if the king is mad about it, I'll change it in the future!' Just at the right time, while he finished thinking and Bob entered the room.

With a stand that has 3 legs on it and made out of wood, Arden didn't know about this and just sat at his comfortable chair patiently while raising one of his eyebrows.

Bob rushed out and came back with the painting tray in his hand and a cup full of brushes in his other hand. He placed it at the small platform of the wooden things. After that, he rushed back to outside and came back with a normal wooden stool with him.

"What is that wooden thing?" Arden asked curiously and Bob just finishing his preparation of things and tools.

"It's an easel sir, I place the canvas like this and I can paint the drawings better," He sat down at the wooden stool he brought with him.

"Okay, sir, what do you want me to paint today?" Arden just stared at the easel and understanding its structure.

"I want you to paint a dragon with a golden colour and white background, this will be the army flag" Bob looked surprised and his right-hand tremble instantly. He gripped his right hand with the left and it quickly calmed down.

'Wait! Didn't my thought say to me that I don't know what a dragon is? I think I have some sort of bad memory here! There are also some problems with me when I'm thinking, should I ask someone that is the expert of mental things?' He realized something wrong with his body and mind and thought about it. All of this while his awareness of the surrounding is gone.

'This is no time to think, I should focus on the painting' He quickly regained his awareness and realized he was staring at the easel this whole time.

"Bob, can you make the dragon stretch its wing and showing off its stomach, but just in the colour," Bob quickly painted it and tried as best as he could.

A good 1 hour passed and now Bob is still sweating, his butler uniform is almost covered in sweat as he thinks in the hot weather of the noon. He thought of the shape of the dragon, the detail, wing, head, basically all of the appearances of the dragon.

He is nervously sweating, some of his canvas already sacrificed because of some slight mistake he made on it. He is nervously sweating, his hand were trembling a little as he tries to paint.

Meanwhile, his lord in front of him, staring behind the canvas, his eye were full of hope and curiously waited for Bob to finish the painting, which made Bob more nervous than before.

He continued and on his painting and with the last soft touch of the brush to the canvas; he was finished and sighed in relief. Then taking the canvas from the easel and showing to Arden.

Arden looked at it and examined it, his eye became sparkling and he looked at it as he was watching an interesting show. The painting was simply magnificent and gave out a real dragon aura there, even tho Arden never saw a dragon before.

Arden dropped his jaw and quickly throwing out praises, "This is so good! No doubt, I will use this as our flag from now on!" Bob smiled and realized what his lord just said.

"Wait, this is going to be the main flag? Isn't this only for the army flag?" Bob quickly became excited and, strangely, nervous.

'What if this it's not good enough?' Bob bitted his nail as he thought of it.

The main flag meaning it would be placed at the settlement that noble own, it would also be used if a noble is called into hastilude to the capital by the king to indicate the noble. It would surely be a good thing to be proud of and brag about it to others.

The painting of a dragon with its wing stretched and the tail pointing down. Its head watching the side as its terrifying form is shown at the paper would be the new flag of Arden!
