First Meeting with Daddy

"The Emperor is Finally coming back from the war"

A moment of silence

umm...a war?Why does it feel chilly?I knew this new life doesn't resemble my past life's world but a war?!

"Is that true Castro?"

My mother asked as she Put down the cookie she was holding

"Yes,the people are getting ready for his return... It's super busy in the Imperial Palace right now"

"Oh my!"

I decided to ask Mother what they are talking

"Mother...what is going on?"

"Oh baby!!"

She got up from her sit and Hugged me and Zieke

She smiled at the both of us and Touched our chubby cheeks

"My children,I know that You wonder where your Father is"

"Your father is arriving from a long journey,and soon My children,You will be able to see your father personally"

Oh. My. Gosh!!

Zieke and I looked at each other

A strange feeling built up inside me

A father....I will be able to see the other person who brought me to life in this World,A related by blood.....a Father,what an unfamiliar feeling

" The three of you Need to Get ready Fast,They are Expecting The Emperor's Arrival Tomorrow so I need to get your clothes ready"

" Thank you,Castro"

Mother smiled even brighter to us and hugged us again

He is here now,huh? From a war? That's why I didn't see him For Two whole years...

How will I Act around him though? Should I act like a Baby or act Ignorant? Or should I act cute Teehee!

Ugh.. let's just act Normally as we do with mother then

I feel really nervous In this world...will our father Love and never leave us like what we had experienced in the past? I hope.....

**********

Two days had passed and The afternoon arrived

There was nothing to do,Zieke and I was just Laying down On the Large bed, whispering To each other since we don't want anyone to think we are weird because we are talking with an unknown Language

"We didn't get to see the Emperor,Yesterday"

"Yeah"

We were looking forward to it but the Emperor and his subordinates arrived Very late at night

Mother put us to bed Early In the evening so we were not able to see him

Due to the Late arrival of the Emperor the people,Wide awake Waited for him and his subordinates well of course excluding us

Mother said there was Light greetings and Speeches that happened but There was no celebration that occured since it was very late and They were in a long Journey

It was Postponed to another date And The people are getting ready for an Even grander Celebration because time was not limited not like The other days

We The bored children,with nothing to do Ate and just Chilling

Zieke Got up From laying down and Started jumping on the soft Bed

"Cut it out! What are you a child?"

"Duh~ I am a child" He continued jumping

"Yeah right" I rolled my eyes and eventually Got up And copied what he is doing

"I thought This is childish?"

"Duh~I'm a child"

He pushed me lightly and I pushed him That He almost lie down the bed

We continued pushing Each other And I almost fell from the bed...That brat Just laughed at me

"Just you wait you-"

"Princess?Prince? What are you two doing?" A maid Suddenly appeared out of nowhere

"We were just playing" Zieke Said cutely..Ugh He looks cute But That is Still Jam, twenty year old Mentally so I'm a bit disgusted....

"Your highnesses,You couldn't have asked me to put you down from the bed so you could have played,It's dangerous here,What if you fall?" She Put me on the ground

"Look at your dress, It's ruined now"

She also Did what she did to me to Zieke

"We are sorry" We both said

"Hmm...Your Highnesses, you shouldn't apologize to me,You are a prince and a Princess, Don't apologize to a Servant of yours,okay?"

" Okay,But we can apologize to you,a Person and an Adult,right?"

She seemed stunned,Well,Where can you find a Two years old Child talk like this..

"O-okay,Hehe..."

We went outside the room and Went straight to the garden

"Your highnesses,The snacks will be ready soon,so you can take time and play a little bit"

"Okay"

"umm..miss?"

"Hmm? You can call me Kelze"

"Oh..Kelze"

umm My pronouncation is kinda weird, I talk Pretty well like an Adult but there are still some instances where I won't be able to pronounce something Correctly

But Anyways,This is better though,I know some Thinks Zieke and I are weird because of how we talk At such a young age

"Umm...can I call you Elze?"

"Yes,Your highness" She smiled brightly at me

"Pfft.."

I ignored my brother and ran towards the flowers

This is my favorite spot since The flowers here is so Beautiful and they smell sweet

I saw my brother went to the Benches and how Elze helped Him to sit

I continued picking flowers, When I picked a handful of Flowers I Got up and Went to Zieke and Elze

"What is this your highness?"

Ehehe...is she blind?

"This is flowers Elze" I said cutely hiding my thoughts behind that smile

"Umm..Yes Your highness,But What will you do with the flowers?"

She asked Uncomfortably....I feel bad

"Oh...This is beautiful so I was planning on giving it to mother later"

"Hmm...The miss will Love that"

"Yes! Can you please help me Sit?"

"Yes Your highness"

She hold me up and put me besides Zieke

"Your highness,You should refrain In talking politely to us your servants"

This is why most Noble Children Are Growing up without Respects to the people around them

"Elze,You are an Adult,And adults should be respected by people younger than Them"

She seemed stunned again

She didn't utter a word and just smiled

I can see By her Expression that she is Wondering if we really are Two years old heh

"So you can scold me and also Zieke W

whenever we make mistakes, Please forget our Status Elze"

"This children...are they two years old?" She mumbled

I ignored what I heard and Talked with Zieke who never uttered a word For minutes now

After a couple of minutes I sense Someone from my back So I looked that way

It was The other Maids Carrying the foods and drinks

"Your highnesses,The Snacks are here"

"Yes,Thank you!!" Zieke and I said Brightly

They set Up The Snacks and Leave except for Elze

I started Choosing a food to gobble

"Would you like to join us,Elze?"Zieke Asked

He said that,Acting cool....dude That doesn't suit you,Two- year-old brat

"Uh..no Your Highness Thank you for inviting me though"

I said this earlier but She is too polite...It's so uncomfortable,An Adult being polite to a Two years old Kid

Well,I mean I know I am a Princess and In a higher position but as an Asian before it's so Uncomfortable

Castro is the one who Take care of us alongside with our mother,And She nags at us a lot

So whenever they left The other Maids will be the one to take care of us,And I'm not used by how they act

But who am I to say this things? I don't even Use honorifics To Them except to mother,Except for my mental Age Castro nagging us to stop addressing her politely or she will Let us not eat sweets anymore helped us to refrain in being too respectful

Ah this reminds me!!

"Elze? Where are Mother and Castro?"

"Hmm? Ah they were called by the Emperor,Your Father,Your Highness"

"Father!" I said loudly

"Y-yes Princess"

I forgot about him!! Anyways,Why is mother called by the Emperor? Silly me They are a couple after all

"Your Highnesses!!!!!!"

A maid suddenly appeared before me

"umm...yes?"

"Castro asked me to get The two of you,Your Highnesses"

"Castro? Why?" Zieke Asked

"She didn't tell me why Your highness"

"Uhh..it is Castro,so We should Go,Zieke Let's go... Elze Can you please help us down?"

"Yes Your Highness"

********

"Move,Move Hurry!!!!!"

"Faster,The Emperor will be here soon!!!"

What am I doing?Why am I here?I can't Think Straight Wait..who am I???

"Princess,Can you please sit down here for a minute?"

Castro said pointing at The Chair so I followed Her without Questions

I felt a Fast swoop From above and Before I knew it my Shoulder length hair is braided

God Castro,How do you do that?

"Finished!!!!"

"Kyaaahh..the Princess is too cute!!!"

"Look at yourself at the Mirror,Princess"

Oh wow~ cute I'm too cute hahaha!!!

They dressed me up more Extravagantly today,I new I am cute but I'm a lot cuter today...how will I look when I becomes an adult? I bet I will be Popular heh

"The Prince Is ready as well!!!" A maid Shouted

"Very Good,I want to see him"

Zieke Appeared out of a Room Dressed in a Formal Attire with His Golden Hair neatly brushed...He looks Cute except that he was wearing An Uncomfortable expression

"What Happened?Your face is soo ugh" I whispered

"It was Uncomfortable even if Castro or mother are the one bathing and dressing me But Tltoday there were so many and I don't know them,Eeeeek" He whispered to me as well

"Dude,I feel you"

A knock was heard at the door so a maid opened it

"Castro? Are they ready? The Emperor will arrive soon" A middle aged woman Appeared from the door

"Oh yes,Is the miss Ready ?"

"Ah no She said She won't change her clothes,So I went to check if everything is ready"

"Okay" Castro looked at us

"Your Highnesses, let's go"

"Okay!!!"

Castro And A maid carried me and Zieke

The Emperor will actually Visit us.....My stomach hurts suddenly I'm nervous

We went outside our rooms,Six Maids Including Castro and Elze followed us outside,The others are maybe Cleaning the room

We went straight to the Usual place,The Leisure room and mother was there and she welcomed us

Mother hold me in her arms....I felt that she is trembling

Is she Nervous? We are the same then

I hugged her tightly and I felt that she is starting to relax a little bit

"Then Miss,We will be outside then,Call us when you need something"

"Ah! wait,Castro you can stay here, please?" mother said

"Oh...okay Miss"

There was silence between the four of us,so I started to Play My Brothers Hair

"Hey,you are making it messy!" he whispered

"Don't worry about that,Nothing will change since no matter what you do you are still ugly" I whispered back

"We are twins,We looked alike,Does that mean You are ugly too?"

"Gah!"

"What's wrong,Eliz?"

"No...Nothing hehe"

"The Emperor has Arrived!!!!!" The guard outside shouted

Sh*t I need to go to the Comfort room again!!!
