The Next Morning,

I woke up early in the morning, of course, well it's quite understandable. I mean I already slept for 7 hours during the daytime only, so waking up early is no biggie.

And right now, the temperature is very low maybe around 15° to 20° Celsius.

And at times like this, I thought of going for a walk in the garden. "Hah, it's quite chilly but somehow it refreshes me," I said to myself as I felt the fog on my face.

"So Good~," I said happily as I felt at ease.

I looked at the flower garden located near the training halls. And all I could see was Camellia of different colours.

"They are all so pretty~ especially this one," I said as I touched one of the red full bloomed camellia, its petals were so smooth and delicate. This red colour reminds me of her majesty and his Highness eye colour, so beautiful and mystical.

I was all lost in my world when suddenly I heard the sound of someone swinging the sword, and it was coming from the training grounds. " Who could be using the field so early in the morning? It is father or is it Ash?" I said as I walked towards the field. The closer I got the more the sounds became audible to me.

I went inside the field and saw Ash in a white shirt and long black pants with gloves to cover his hands and a sword in his right hand, He swings the sword as if it was nothing new for him...like it was his everyday job.

And he was in perfect sync and aggressive with his every single move.

But as he turned, his legs twisted which made him fall to the ground with a loud thud.

"Ash!!" I said as I ran towards him with a worried look on my face. Ash looked at me and soon derived his eyes away.

"Are you okay?" I asked him as I made him stand up for the ground and dusted down all the dust present in his pants.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" I asked as I looked at his face.

"No, I am fine." He said as he avoided eye contact with me.

"Ash...Are you really fine?" I asked as I ruffled his hair.

"Umm...I am really fine." He said as he moved backwards.

"Okay then...I will leave you here..Practice well.' I said as I turned around to leave.

" Si...Sister wait!" Ash said as he held my hands. "I will come with you.." He continued as he gave his sword to the servants.

"Okay," I said as we quietly went towards the mansion and after that to our respected rooms, to freshen and wash up.

After 1 hour, me, Ash and Father gathered together at the dining table. "Good Morning Father." Both Ash and I said as we greeted father.

"Good morning to both of you too," Father said as he smiled towards us.

"Yes, Father." Ash and I said we both sat down on our respected seats.

"Did you guys have a good sleep last night?" Father asked us.

"Yes Father, I slept well," I said as I smiled towards him.

"I see that's good, what about you Ash?" Father asked as he looked at Ash.

"Yes, I slept well too..." Ash said as he chewed a piece of steak he was given. But his face doesn't look that good...Is the food not to his liking?

I thought as I looked at his face. Ah right, Ash didn't have his dinner last night.No wonder he is acting all sulky and on top of that he practised so hard this morning.

This kid, he must not push himself so much.

I looked at the table, everything was oily and heavy to eat so early. Except for one thing,

"Ash, you didn't have dinner last night having meat early will make you sick so first have some soup," I said as I passed him the soup which was made of some mushrooms and all.

"You would like it," I said as I looked at him.

"Huh..okay." He said as he pour the soup into a small bowl.

As soon as he drank some of it, his face brightened up, "This soup is delicious and its taste is different than the ones we had before." Ash said as his eyes widened in delight.

"Really?" I asked as I slipped a bit of the soup. And it tasted different or should I say it tasted like heaven.

"So Delicious!!" I exclaimed. I have different foods but this must be the superior of all.

"Who cooked and how come we never had this before?" Ash asked as he looked at the chefs standing beside us. He had a pleasant smile on his face.

"Well, this dish wasn't made by me which is why the lady and young master never had this before." The chef said.

"Huh?? Then who made this? Is there anyone who can make even better food than the head chef?" I asked as I looked at the soup. Even its texture looked delicious.

"Well, I can't really say if the lady was complimenting me or not but this soup was made by the Lord himself. And that too just for The lady and Young Master." The chef said as he smiled brightly.

"What!!!" Both Ash and I said as we looked at father who was sipping his tea acting like he doesn't hear anything.

It took me some time to process his words like, this was the first time I heard about father cooking.

"Father, did you really make this?" Ash asked as he looked at father.

He slightly nodded his head indicating it as a yes.

"Really! Wow! I didn't even know that Father could cook." I said as I happily drank the soup.

"That's cuz I rarely cook..." Father said in a low voice as if he was embarrassed.

"And why is that? This is so good I am sure other dishes made by father must be as good as this!" Ash exclaimed.

"Yeah, that's what I think too!" I said as I looked at father but his face didn't show any delight rather than that he looked as if he was in a dilemma.

I looked at the head chef and he took looked as if he was in an awkward position.

Right at that moment. The butler came into the room, "My lord there is some urgent matter you need to attend to." The butler said as he bowed towards Father.

"Hmm, okay. Both of you enjoy your food, I will be going now." Father said awkwardly as he left the room.

"Then please enjoy your meal." The head chef said and he too went back to the kitchen.

"Did we say something wrong?" Ash said as he looked at me, he had the same confused face as that of me.

"I don't know...." I said as I chew a piece of the steak.

After having breakfast, Butler Mill was ready to escort us to our respected rooms.

"Butler Mill, Did you know Father can cook?" I asked him as I walked beside Ash.

"Lord and cooking.....Hmm, My lady must be talking about the mushroom soup." Butler Mill said as he smiled brightly as if the mention of that soup brought him back some good old memories.

" Yes, that what we had today!" Ash said as he looked at Mill, hoping he would tell us something about that mysterious soup and the story behind it.

"Both of you did, that's nice....and it brings back many memories." Butler Mill said as he looked at us.

"Memories what type of memories?" Ash asked.

"Some Golden memories of Lord's newly married days." The butler said as he had a sweet smile pasted on his face.

"You Mean about the time when father and mother got newly married," I asked as I looked at Mill with curiosity in my eyes.

"Yes now that I think of....in a blink of eyes 10 years have passed already. Ha...I still remember their first day as husband and wife...it was such chaos, I don't think a single day passed when they didn't bicker but as time passed things between them got better. And the result is right in front of me now." Butler Mill said as he chuckled as he looked at us.

"Mother and Father used to bicker?" Ash asked as he looked at the butler with *That can't be true* look on his face. Yeah, I understand what he must be thinking, cuz we never saw them fighting ....like as far as we remember they were always in love. So the thought of them bickering around and being on each other bad side sounds revolting.

But then again...Mother did mention political marriage when I first opened my eyes here....and why is there marriage related to the soup? hmm, there is so much I don't know about them.

Ha!! I am curious!!

Should I ask the butler about this? He won't deny it...will he?

"Butler Mill, you seem to know a lot about father and mother early days. Would you mind lighting us up a bit..." I said as I looked at him with a small smile on my face, praying that he accepts it.

"Yes Please tell us more!!" Ash said as he used his puppy eyes to win over him.

The butler looked at us and chuckled, "My Lady, Young Master, Both of you don't need to use your tactics on me. I must serve you no matter if it's materialistic or informatics." Butler Mill said as he patted both of our heads, just like the way he always does.

Other nobles might find it offending but we don't...cuz mill is like guardian when mother and father weren't with us. He would take of us both as a mother and as a father.

Which is why we are so close to him.

"Hehe, we were just trying~," I said as I giggled.

"You know these tactics need practice," Ash said as he grinned.

"Yes Yes, I understand." Butler Mill said.

"Then are you agreeing on telling us about our parents' early life?" I asked as I looked at him with my big sapphire eyes.

"Yes I agree but not today...I apologize but I have other tasks to do today." Butler Mill said as he showed us the list of his works.

"Ohhh..." Both of us said as we looked downwards. It's disappointing but no worries we can hear it some other day too it is not like he is running away.

"Then please tell us when you have time," I said with a smile on my face.

"Yes I will for sure do." Butler Mill said.

And after that mill left for his work as for me and ash we were back to our rooms.

"Now what should I do? Father won't let me go outside or do any work, since he wants me to rest for someday." I murmured as I looked at my hands.

Oh right! I didn't ask them about my wounds.

I should ask Ash about this, and as soon as I thought that Ash entered my room.

"Wow! I was just thinking about you! And you are already here." I said as I looked at him with excitement.

"Let's call it a coincidence~but 2hy was sister looking for me?" Ash asked.

"OH, that I wanted to know how did my wounds heal so fast? Did anyone from the temple cane over?" I asked as I showed him my hands.

"That was done by the crown prince," Ash said as he played with the crystal ball on the table.

Huh?? the crown prince but he doesn't have any healing powers...then how did he...Don't tell me.

"Ash, did he tell you what magic he used?" I asked Ash.

"No, but...father looked worried about him using that magic," Ash said as he looked at me.

"As I thought...he used Empathic healing on me...but why?" I thought as I looked at my hands.

Why would you take my pain.....Why....
