Roselia ca and coughed, poor girl! She was bound by the code of conduct of knights, yet trying to gain a part in the conversation. I smiled brightly looking around. These were the ones who loved ,
"You are still a kid, Dami, running around complaining about . What shall I do with you.'' I replied, shaking my head and laughing.
"Calling him childish, just let look at you and see, how mature you are Mari?" my mother replied and I giggled.
"Alright, then let's go to my chamber and have a good lunch together,'' I replied, clapping my hands and my mother shook her head, but there was a bright smile on her face.
They all nodded and we started walking back to the duchess chamber, holding one hand with Killian.
"Mother, I can walk by myself." he replied looking around, 'oh my, look at my baby, he was so shy and cute. Sotis I just want to pinch his cheeks all day'
"Of course, you can. It's just I was feeling tired, so I decided to take your support.'' I replied pouting, but he did not believe , his eyes narrowed at , and I wondered if he would be angry now.
"Grandmother is right," he replied sighing and my brows furrowed.
"About what?" I asked.
He shook his head, like a tired old mother and said "you are still childish."
I was dumbfounded, while everyone around laughed. How! When did the serious baby adult start cracking jokes?
"Alright, let's move, there may be rain today." said my father in his strict voice, but I could see his twinkling eyes. He was enjoying the conversation but would never agree to that. That's how he was, just like coconut, strict from outside while softer inside.
Just look around, my family, my friends Rose and Dami, and even my killer of my last life, my son Killian, they all are with , my chest filled with happiness and pride.
As we finally reached the sitting room of my chamber, everyone sat around and started chatting like they had known each other for ages. Now I feel so loved and pampered.
I wonder why they were not with in the past! Was it because I was cruel back then, but then I would never have beco cruel if they would have been here!
"Mother"
"Yes, Mary"
"Why did you never co before." I couldn't help but ask, it's not about this life I was talking about, my past life too.
She smiled, as she patted my head, "we were always here, Mary. You were the one who had closed herself in these four walls. You just needed to extend your hands and you could have us." she replied and I was lost.
Had I never tried to be with them before?
"Alright, don't be a sentintal person today, it's ti for celebration. You should treat us with that special chocolate brownie cake today." exclaid my gourmand rose.
"Hey, I am the one who has given treats to you since childhood, you know." I realised and she nodded.
"What can I say, mother had given desserts for you, but I had always eaten them on the way as I had been hungry," she replied, shaking her head with a sigh and I was stunned.
"You know we like a few steps away" how can anyone turn hungry in such a less distance!
She nodded, 'of course, I know, I have co here daily." she replied as if I was confirming the distance and I did not know what to say anymore.
"I still am not sure, how you even beca a knight, with all this food in your stomach."
"By working hard" she replied shrugging her shoulders.
And all laughed.
"Lisa"
"Yes, your highness"
"Go and ask the chef to cook his best dishes for around 30 people."
"Yes, your highness" although confused, she bowed and walked back to follow my orders.
"Mari, we are just seven people, why are you ordering this much food," asked Dami.
"Oh, is it because you are counting like 10 or you are going to invite others too," asked Rose.
"No, but I am going to repay the favours" I replied, smirking and they looked at , bewildered.
I ignored them and asked my mother, "how have you been?"
She looked surprisedly at and laughed, "what would happen to ? I am fit and fine,"
I wanted to ask then why had you stooped going out, why have I not see you at an empress party, and why were you not enjoying your life as before. I could see the dark circles and dull skin which was not there before. but I bit my lip and controlled it, it was a happy mont for everyone and I did not want to ruin it. I will get plenty of chances from now, I would make sure of that.
"Even your brother is going to return finally, so I am over the moon," she added, when she found lost in thoughts.
That surprised , in my past life, my brother only returned I was in jail, he had co to et once, saying he would bring justice to , but then I had told him the truth, that all the accusations were right, and he was heartbroken, after that he never ca back, he must be disappointed with .
"How did he suddenly decide to co back?" I asked with widened eyes.
"We told him that you are going to jail, and within three days, we received a letter that he was already on his way to co back." the mother replied laughing.
And father shook his head, "he is going to bring a hurricane, when he would've co back, just because of your lie." said father, in a grave voice, but his eyes were telling that he was very happy with the outco.
"But why did you say that mother," I asked, surprised, my mother was not the one to lie with her children.
"I did not lie, I told him the consequences that would have happened, if Dami, would not have joined," she replied and I shook my head, but before I could say anything, Dami spoke first.
