The four of them squeezed themselves into the doorway and were all looking at us with one smirking proudly. And I ant Eon, by the way.
"We ca in peace," Eon stated and bowed like a gentleman that he's not.
'I doubt it.'
"What-- I an, why are you guys here so early in the morning?" I inquired.
I'm not gonna ask them what they ca here for because I know it already. The four of them ca closer to us, crowding the room.
"It's still morning? But it's already quarter to 12," Noah pointed out. He was wearing casual clothes today and it actually suits him.
I grinned at them, "That's still early, and it's technically morning either."
"You really have an answer to everything huh," Conrad comnted and shakes his head.
'What can I do? I am special this way.'
I looked at them one by one.
"Did you guys plan this or what?"
"Well, we did. My sister was just too eager to co here so she went ahead of us," Eon answered on their behalf.
"Our sisters," Conrad interjects and glanced at Bea.
Ah, speaking of Gwen...
I glanced at the lady in front of and saw her fidgeting. Fufufufufu~ Whenever Conrad is near, she gets all jittery like this. How cute.
I turned my attention back to them again.
"How about we move to the West Hall? It's getting crowded in here," I declared and stood up from my chair.
"Welp, sorry 'bout that," Luther apologized.
"It's okay. I am grateful that you all ca here for my sake," I said and offered them one of my genuine smiles.
'It is true. I really am thankful for visiting .'
All of us then made our way to the West room, which is much bigger than the forr one and could host more than ten people at once. As soon as we situated ourselves on the sofas, they began to get chaotic.
"We didn't co empty-handed," Luther said and nudged Eon on his side.
"Right! We brought your favorite cake from that famous cafe-- Oh Shit!" Eon exclaid, "I forgot to bring it!" he gasped out then scratched his head in embarrassnt.
"Why did we entrust the gift to him again?" Conrad sighed and leaned back.
"Oh man…" Noah mumbled.
Eon then grinned sheepishly, "Oh well. You're full anyway…" was his reply.
"Idiot…" Gwen whispered and rolled her eyes at her brother.
Eon perked up in defense, "What? I was rushing here to see Nadia so I forgot!"
'I doubt it.'
"Then what are we going to do?" Luther voiced out and stared at the others in question.
Eon clicked his tongue, "What else? We ca here to check on her and not only feed her cake."
Conrad looked at him in amazent, "Wow, Eon. You said sothing that makes sense. Congrats!" then patted his back.
"What do you an by that?!" Eon exclaid with a frown on his face.
"I am so proud of you," Luther muttered, joining in as well.
A smile escaped my lips. They are starting again. I kind of missed their senseless banter. My day would not be completed without witnessing it.
"I brought sothing else though," Noah suddenly voiced out and handed a box. "It's cookies. I tried baking but…" he then averted his eyes to the side.
I gladly accepted it, "Thank you, Noah~"
"I should have brought sothing too…" Gwen muttered beside as she eyed the box in my hand.
'Your presence is enough, Gwen.'
Bea shuffled in her seat and then handed a tiny wooden box which made blink in surprise.
"Gift…" she whispered which was almost inaudible.
I clasped it in my hands as well, getting too emotional from all the pampering they are giving .
"I knew it. I really should have brought sothing!" Gwen uttered with a pout.
'This is not a competition. Don't get fired up for wrong reasons, Gwen.'
'That's what makes her 'her' anyway…'
"So Nadia, are you okay now?" Conrad asked after a while.
'Heh~ Of course, I am. I'm a strong independent beautiful woman after all.'
Conrad perhaps saw my expression, or read my mind because he imdiately added sothing.
"Okay, that was a dumb question. You clearly look fine judging from that proud smirk on your face."
Wah--
"She really is smirking," Luther comnted as he looked at .
"I bet she's thinking of sothing along the lines of pretty and cool," Eon chid and made a tsk sound.
I also forgot to add that they enjoyed teasing as well. Just because I was the only girl in the council!
"Our little sister is such a haughty brat," Conrad joined in and shook his head in disapproval.
This too. One day, they just started calling their little sis. Maybe because Nathan would grill their behinds if they even think of sothing funny.
My eyes rolled heavenward but said nothing. I am guilty anyway.
Mari then chose that mont to suddenly burst in while looking frantic, as if she had joined and ran on a marathon.
'Let guess. Another guest, ain't it?'
"Milady! Prince Ezekiel had co! His Highness' carriage just rolled inside the gates!" She announced.
'Oh, cousin visits as well? Everyone sure is visiting one by one, I feel flattered and important...'
The room remained calm with only her panicking. She must have noticed that we were not as nervous as her so she instantly straightened her back and masked her expression.
"I will prepare refreshnts," she then bowed and retreated from the hall.
After she was gone and the room had beco silent again, the chaos ensued.
"That damn Ezekiel, coming in here late and creating a ruckus," Eon muttered with gritted teeth.
'I don't think you should curse a crown prince though.'
"He is such a flashy bastard," Conrad agreed with him as he narrowed his dark eyes.
'Ah, Why do I bother? They were always like this whenever prying ears are not around, even from before. I should be used to this by now....'
