Episode 3

Now with that I have to talk to Daren. I can't have the kids fighting over me in the shadows. It will lead to unpleasant scenes. "Daren." He's watching the television. "Yes mom." It's so natural now. "I am attempting on semi-adopting the first prince." On that note, Daren turned to face me. "What do you think of me being his aunt?" I explained the prince's situation to him and he understood. He was very welcoming of a cousin he could call brother. Another funny thing is that Daren and Kallion's birthday are on the same day. The author probaby wanted competition on what Julia would give each of them as they celebrated together.

"Ahh, It's Daren's birthday." "You knew." He looked at me with joyful eyes. No one remembered yet along celebrated their birthday. In this case I will be the adoptive mother of the male lead and the aunt of the first male lead, the prince. "We'll hold a party tomorrow, it's tomorrow right." "Hmm." he responded happily. I am planning on sending the prince his gift tomorrow night after the party. The next night at Daren's first birthday party. I got choclate cake coz who doesn't like chocolate. "Daren, make a wish." I got him a sword as his gift. He's been practicing in the VR training room and is as good as the royal knights. At such an age, am a proud mother. In the story, he was a magic swordsman. A prodigy. "I wish for our lives to continue living happily." "Of course. Now eat your cake and go to bed." So I've trained him to the level of the head magician. Chloe is past that though and she's really happy with her life. "Yes mom." She mostly plays video games in her free time though. Well you can't really blame her.

After putting Alen to bed. I snuck into the castle. Though I litterally teleported there. "First prince." He was still awake. He must be lonely. "W-who are you? I'll call the guards." No need to be scared. "Will they come?" I went closer to his bed. "O-ofcourse." We both know that's not true. I got on the bed and. "What are you." I hugged him tightly. he probably needed one but wouldn't admit it. "Happy birthday, first prince." that is what I stated before breaking free and standing up. "Here, you may have this cake. It's okay if you think it's poisoned. Goodnight." And just like that, I left. I gave him a slice of Daren's cake we had tonight and went to sleep. In the castle. The first prince got up from his bed. No one had touched him or hugged him since his mother died. Apart from the maids who bathed him. " A cake. It's delicious." The crown prince felt really happy. There was someone who remembered him on his birthday. Though they didn't state their motive behind it, it felt genuine.

A week later in the villa. Daren's settled in so has Chloe. Everyone has things to do. I should get a life or visit the crown prince. Ever since I discovered I could use teleportation, carriages look like snails. So I teleported to the crown prince's room and sat on his bed. He should be done with his training by now. The door opened, I was cutrently under an illusion. "You are." I stood ip and bowed. "Lilith Rodeush. A pleasure yoir highness." The prince looked confused. The guards didn't tell him someone was in his room and even though they didn't care they wouldn't let someone in. "What brings you here?" he asked. "Was the cake I brought you not to your taste last night?" I smiled. "It was you. I certainly enjoued it. He steeped more inside the room and closed the door. "What do you want? You could get more money and power by coaxing my brothers." Is that what you think of me brat. "Hoho. Your highness is quite tough. It's simple." I replied like the modern lady I am. "What is it?" he asked. "Call me aunt." I said nonchalantly. "Okay, you seem to want to tie yourself to the royal family " "No. You can choose not to do so in public but you must regard me as your aunt." He was dumb founded. "Okay. Don't call me that in public but you have to treat me as your aunt." He's speaking. "Why?If it's not to use me then why. You could have asked my brothers." he sat down on the couch. "But your highness is also a young boy. Wouldn't you also like an aunt. Come to my villa in three days or more, whenever you like. Ask for a rest or vacation, you can rest with me for a few days." I smiled and left through the front door while activating invisibility.

Three days later

The crown prince arrived atvmy door step with a carriage. "Take the luggage inside." "No." Don't bring your damned ancienr wear in here. "Your highness might not have known but if you are to stay here. You will be provided with clothes, food and everything." "Ahh, I see." He brought two maids with him. "The maids should go back too. He hesitated but soon told to set off with the luggage too. They didn't really complain as they didn't want to come here. "Come in."I smiled. "Then forgive me for intruding on you." I led him to the waiting room. Ahem, the sitting room under disguise. "Your highness is bow here. Please do swear an oath of silence before we continue." I need to be safe just incase my plan back fires. "You have my word." A faint yellow light envwloped the crown prince and I decided to take off the illusion. "Crown prince, you are welcome. No, Kallion." I chuckled. "You, what are you." I called Cgloe and Daren down. "Daren,Chloe. We have a guest. Daren, clean out your room and clean out your closet. You'll be sharing. Chloe, could you make lunch." "Yes mom."Darren yelled from his room. "Yes, Lily." Chloe as well. Those two were probably playing video games. Anyway, they finished and came down as Chloe made dinner and Daren joined me and the crown prince in the living room. He see.ed to be processing whar was going on until I switched on the television. He seemed interested so I put Daren's favourite show. "Daren, you'll be sharing a room with the crowm prince for today. I'll make one for him tomorrow." I said to a Daren sitting and watching the television next to the crown prince. "Yes mom." He instantly replied. "You aren't suprised or disatisfied." said the crown prince. "Nope. And you should stop talking like that here. I know how you feel. I was also like that before I met mom." "The same." the crown prince in disbelief. "Yeah, I was adopted from the Killion house hold last month." He said brimming with happiness. "Okay, I'll try." Kallion said. I had gone to help Chloe set up and called the kids for lunch and soon called them to join. Kallion was impressed and liked the food. And that was the first day the prince stepped in my villa.
