"D-do you like ?"
Upon those words leaving Hinari’s mouth, she couldn’t help but hold her breath. Her eyes focused on his lips waiting for words to co out. Her heart was like a drum beating so loud in her ears that everything else faded from existence.
1 banana... 2 bananas... 3 bananas... 4 bananas... 5 bananas...
Hinari counted the seconds silently in her head and when the number reached ten, her tensed shoulders dropped. She even began to sweat because of her extre nervousness but at the sa ti, she was sowhat disappointed that the sleeping beauty didn’t respond. Sigh... stop acting crazy Hinari, there’s no way a sleeping person could answer every question you ask, you know?!
Heaving a long deep sigh, Hinari bit her lip and she again gazed at the beautiful sleeping beauty. She raised her hand and she caressed his hair carefully. And as she caressed his hair, sohow, Hinari can’t help but giggle. This is the first ti she could take advantage of this sleeping beauty and the feeling was really blissful. Wow, i didn’t know that petting this man feels this good... if only he would allow to pet him like this when he’s awake... Sigh... i bet he’ll just flick my forehead if i do this to him while awake, right? Damn... his hair is so soft... this beauty really is too much... he’s driving mad...! T^T
"Don’t mind and rest well, beauty." She whispered to him, giving up her silly attempt to take advantage of a certain defenseless and innocent sleeping princess.
She again surveyed his beautiful face and she felt like there were prickles in her heart as she looked at the dark circles under his eyes. For so reason, Hinari felt like she wanted to just embrace him tight. She didn’t know why she felt like this but maybe this is because she wasn’t just used seeing Zaki looking weak and defenseless?
"Looks like my beauty really is tired this ti around. I better behave and let him rest." She then softly said to herself and she carefully leaned her head on Zaki’s, which was lying on her shoulder.
Hinari slowly closed her eyes and it seed like she too finally felt the fatigue of roaming around the entire day. Adding the anxiety and fear from recent events, her body felt like it was drained of its energy. In no ti, her body went a little limp and she seed to finally fall asleep.
At that mont, finally hearing her slow breathing, Zaki’s long lashes fluttered and in the next second, his eyes slowly opened. There was a glint of an indescribable emotion showing in his eyes and he seed like he had been awake for a while now.
Without moving, he blinked and he slowly clenched his fists so tight like he wanted to crush his own bones as he uttered her na in his mind.
Hinari...
...
anwhile, at the Chen residence, a certain old man in a butler’s uniform arrived at the back doorstep. He turned the knob, only to find it locked. Hmm, I wonder why this is locked at this ti of the day. Mr. Gou usually keeps this door open. He tried turning it again to no avail. Is there nobody at ho?
Well, wasn’t he just the boy scout because he was prepared for every possibility? He actually brought with him a set of spare keys to the house, being the resourceful grandpa that he was and he easily unlocked the door using them.
"Hehehe," he laughed gleefully as he thought about how cunningly sneaky he was.
He entered the house to find that nobody was around, not a single maid nor Mr Gou. Where did everybody go?
He left the amusent park early so he could sneak in here to see if the rumors about Davi being back were true. But to his dismay, there was no one around to even just ask to confirm if this was true or not. Sighing at his bad luck, he turned to leave again when he heard several cars stop in front of the house. Are they back?!
Curious as a cat, he tiptoed his way over to the window to peek outside to see who it was that just turned up.
One by one, each mber of the Chen family alighted from the cars. Sei, Little Shin, Davi, Mr and Mrs Chen, Hinari and Zaki who looked like they had just woken up from a nap. He quickly let the curtains fall back again to cover him and he quickly looked around to find sowhere to hide. He couldn’t be seen to be inside the house otherwise his grandson would find out that he had a set of keys for the place. He looked around the room but there was nowhere he could hide behind or fit into or under where it wouldn’t be obvious. He slightly panicked and he took hurried steps towards the back door where he entered from. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard tiny footsteps running towards the kitchen and then the words "Great grandpa? Where are you going?"
Caught red handed by his great grandson, he could only scratch the back of his neck. "Ah, I was just going out to, ah... water the gardens!"
His great grandson looked at him funny, like he had sohow gone crazy in his old age.
"Great grandpa, it’s already dark. You better not go outside anymore." The little guy said and the old man could only force a laugh.
"Haha, that’s right, that’s right. Sigh... I’m really getting old now."
Not long after, Davi’s voice could be heard, calling out for Little Shin. "Little Shin, where did you go?" Davi entered the kitchen and saw little Shin talking to a certain butler-looking Grandpa.
Sohow, Davi seed to feel sothing familiar about this old man. Have they t before?
While Davi was thinking about where she had seen this old man before, Mr. Mikazuki’s eyes glittered upon seeing her and he imdiately walked towards her.
"Oh my dear grand daughter in law. It’s really been a long ti." The old man said as he walked towards her and Davi simply blinked.
"Excuse but... have we t before?" she politely asked and the old man seed to have been struck by a wooden block which just randomly fell from the sky.
While the old man seed to be stunned by her words, Davi finally rembered where she had seen this old man before. I-isn’t he the forr king of country J? He was still young in the photos she saw but she couldn’t be mistaken right?
"Yo-you’re Mr. Mikazuki Youjirou? Th-the last king of country J?!" Davi exclaid and instead of being happy, the old man was again devastated. Well, it seed like his granddaughter completely forgot about him.
At that mont, Yuuki, the old man’s loyal right hand, appeared suddenly and walked to the old man and whispered in his ears.
"Sir, did you forget that you disguised your face back then? It’s only obvious that she would not rember you because she has never seen you before. The face that she knew back then was the face you used when you were disguised as butler Kazuki and not your real face." Yuuki whispered and the old man finally rembered that fact, causing him to scratch the back of his neck. Sigh... it’s really hard being old...
Mr. Mikazuki then looked at Davi with a serious yet gentle look. It had not been announced yet to the public what the relationship between Sei to the forr royals of country J was, so it seed like she still didn’t know that he was Sei’s grandfather.
Just as the old man was about to introduce himself, Sei suddenly appeared.
Sei had actually been watching them for a while now so he saw what happened. He failed to introduce his parents to her formally so he would do it right this ti with his grandfather.
Sei then held Davi’s hand as he stood beside her and he spoke.
"Davi, this is my grandfather. He is my late mom, Fei’s, father." He said and Davi’s eyes widened. H-huh? This forr king is my husband’s grandfather by blood? So that ans, Sei was the rumored mysterious prince who never appeared until now? M-my husband is actually a real prince?
