PART 172

" Well me and Lucas can bake a cake and you guys can decorate the living room." Leo said.

" Can you make cheese cake? It's her favorite." Sofia said excitedly.

" I have seen mom making it. We can try." Lucas said.

" Well that's decided then. But when will they come back? We have to be aware of that." Charlie said.

" Let me check their location." Antonia said and started checking her phone.

" You can track them?" Harry asked.

" Yeah. Aurora has connected Uncles, mine and Antonia's phone with hers so that we all know about our locations." Sofia said.

" That's an advance technology." Harry said being astonished.

" By now you should know how advance princess is." Charlie said chuckling.

" What if any of you freeze it? I mean if you are attacked and the enemy freezes your location?" Lucas asked.

" It can't be freezed in Auroras phone. Even if anyone freezes our location, it won't change in her phone." Antonia replied but as usually Lucas didn't looked at her. She sighed lowly.

" That's so cool!" Leo said.

" Now your phones are also attached to her phone." Antonia said.

" Ours too? So can we check her location?" Charlie asked.

" No. I can't see hers. Only Uncle and Antonia can. So yours ones should be like me too." Sofia said.

" Yeah she is right." Antonia said while going through her phone.

" She is a genius." Lucas said.

Everyone nodded at his statement.

" They are just moving from the cemetery now. So that means they are going to the training camp to visit master. It will take two to three hours to reach there. So I guess they will be here by 9."

Antonia said looking back at the heirs.

" After so many years both of them have gone to visit aunty together. I'm really happy today." Sofia said smiling.

" They don't go together often?" Charlie asked.

" No. Aurora likes to go there alone. She is used to like that. Uncle used to stay out of country very often back then that's why she is used to do everything alone." Sofia said.

" I can't even imagine how saddening her childhood was." Lucas said sadly.

"We won't even have a hint if we haven't got the chance of knowing her personally." Harry said.

" She is such a strong girl." Leo said.

Charlie was silent. He knew how terrific was Auroras childhood life. His heart was paining thinking about her past.

" The first day I saw Aurora I thought she is a princess as she is too beautiful. I even asked her if she was one." Antonia said chuckling.

Everyone including Lucas looked at Antonia.

" I have seen the coldest version of her. But I never thought her heartless as she took me out of the darkest period of my life. Does a heartless person help an unknown helpless girl? She took me in her care, nourished me with her love. Sometimes I think how can she still be this much soft inside after facing so much cruelty." Antonia said looking down.

" She was such a dumbo when she came here." Sofia said pointing at Antonia to ease the heavy situation.

Antonia glared at her.

" Well she still is." Sofia said rolling her eyes.

" Control your mouth bitch!" Antonia hissed.

Sofia grinned at her. Everyone chuckled at them. They kept talking about the celebration preparation and finished their breakfast.

Leo and Lucas were preparing birthday cake for Aurora. Outside Charlie, Harry, Sofia and Antonia were decorating everything. They didn't let others help them.

Lucas was watching a recipe video on his phone and warming milk.

" Lucas check the milk before it get burnt." Leo said.

Lucas was busy watching the video so he tried to turn off the gas oven while looking at his phone and as a result his hand get burnt.

" Ahh fuck." Lucas hissed in pain. Antonia was close to the kitchen. She ran inside as soon as she heard him groaning.

" What happened?" Leo and Antonia asked together.

Antonia ran towards him and hold his hand. She pulled him towards the basin and turned on the tap on his burnt hand. Lucas closed his eyes feeling pain.

" Who screamed?" Others asked coming into the kitchen and saw the scene.

" Are you okay?" Antonia asked with concern.

Lucas didn't look at her but nodded his head.

" Sofia there is an ointment in the freeze. Give it to me." Antonia said.

Sofia hurriedly took out the ointment and gave it to Antonia. Antonia turned off the tap. She took out a napkin and tap gently on his hand.

Everyone kept gawking at the scene.

" Thank god there is no blister." Antonia said observing his hand.

She gently put ointment on his hand. Lucas hissed at the cold sensation. Antonia didn't know but her eyes got teary seeing the burned skin of Lucas. A tear dropped from her eyes and Lucas looked at her being surprised.

"Is she crying for me? Why?" He thought looking at her.

" I'm sorry for being harsh. Is it hurting?" Antonia asked looking at his hand.

" This pain is nothing considering the pain in my heart." Lucas said staring at Antonia.

Antonia looked back at him. She felt pain in her heart too hearing his words. She broke the eye contact.

" I'm sorry for that too." She mumbled leaving his hand gently. But she didn't wipe out her tears.

Lucas's hands were itching to wipe her tears. But he doesn't have any rights, does he? He sighed.

" I'm sorry for making you guys concerned. I'm fine now." Lucas said showing his hand to others.

" I warned you to be careful stupid." Leo scolded.

" You should rest Lucas." Sofia said.

" Yeah buddy. Don't work with injured hand." Charlie said coming towards him.

" But Leo won't be able to do all these work alone buddy. I'm not that injured. Don't exaggerate it." Lucas said.

" Rosy or anyone will help him. You should go back to your room." Harry said.

" Then how will it be our special gift? Come on boys. I'm fine. Let me do my work. Go back and decorate the living room." Lucas said.

Everyone sighed. Lucas was about to hold that hot pot again but Antonia held his hand before that.

" You were again going to get burned." Antonia said sighing. Lucas removed his hand from her grip hurriedly.

" Let me help you. You can guide me and I'll do the chores. Is that okay?" Antonia asked.

" That's a good idea. Lucas let her help you." Leo said. Everyone nodded their head.

" It's not needed." Lucas said.

" It's needed. I won't let you work with your injured hand." Antonia said. Lucas looked at her.

" Why? What right do you have to stop me? Won't you feel suffocated around me?" Lucas asked.

Antonia again felt her heart squeezing in pain. But she didn't let pain overpower her.

" You don't suffocate me Lucas. I'm asking forgiveness from deep down my heart for those words. Can't you see that? And about rights. Do you want to know the long list of my rights on you?" She said staring back at Lucas.

Everyone was enjoying the drama. Lucas looked down this time. She has rights on him? Well obviously she has. But since when she has started to claim that?

" Well that's decided then. Antonia is helping Lucas. Harry, Sofia and I will decorate the living room. Let's go now." Saying that they hurriedly went out of the kitchen. Leo smiled and started doing his work.

" Now tell me what to do. I don't know a thing about baking." Antonia said.

Lucas sighed and started guiding her and Antonia kept following his orders.
