"How about a kiss?" I asked Daulla.

Her face immediately flushed.

Yes!

"Please don't say shameful things" 

"Das!" mom yelled.

"...."

I forgot that she was here.

"What is the meaning of this? She is older than you, talk to her with respect. And don't joke about kissing! You are not a kid anymore!" 

I glanced at Daulla. She looked dissatisfied and disappointed.

Now she knows what mom thinks about us being in a relationship.

I just asked for a kiss, and mom got furious. Imagine what would happen if Daulla and I get into relationship. 

"Now, now, Di. Don't get angry. As you said, he is not a kid anymore. Now it's for him to decide what to do and what to not do" 

Only if mom was as cool as Lirole. But then again, that's what makes mom my mom. 

The best mom in the world.

"But he is still my kid. And you should also stop touching him, Lirole" 

"He is my nephew too. You can't stop me"

Sigh~

"Let's go now, Lil Das. You still have to meet the King"

"Wait a minute" 

I walked to Lier and said, "What about you? Want to say something?"

She wrapped her arms around me and kissed me on the lips.

They were giving me glare.

"What? She is the one who kissed me"

"Lier. You shouldn't do that in public, okay?" mom said.

"Okay"

"I demand justice!"

Lier fixed my buttons, though they were already fine to begin with.

"Good luck"

"Thanks"

"I will be going to the Royal Garden now. We will meet there at night" 

"Take care"

"I will. And...you look great"

"Thanks"

"Let's go, Daulla"

Daulla and I went our way to grandpa's room.

As soon as we passed two hallways, Daulla pulled me in and placed her hand on my lips.

"Only for today"

She kissed her hand. 

"You...look...good"

"Thanks"

"Let's go now"

"I was expecting another kiss on the lips"

"I can't do that"

"Come on"

"I might follow it if it's an order from the King"

"Okay then, I will order you. Kiss me, Daulla"

"You are not King yet"

"Just two more hours"

[Das]

"What's wrong, Lily?"

[I am feeling sleepy. I will sleep for a while now]

"Okay"

[Wake me up when something happens]

"Don't worry, nothing will happen"

[To wake me up you have to say 'I love you, Lily' otherwise I won't wake up]

"...."

"It's your pixie?" Daulla asked.

"Yeah"

"I would like to see her"

"You will have to log in into a VR game to see her"

"I don't like VR games"

"Why?"

"Uhh...has Ange told you about this?"

"Oh! You mean she got stuck in the VR game?"

"Yeah"

"No wonder you hate it"

"In those 18 months, there has never been a moment where I didn't cry and prayed for her safety"

"I can't imagine what grandpa did when he heard that"

"HE really went berserk. He got the owners and all the developers of that game arrested"

"Then?"

"Nothing. They said they had no idea what was going on"

"It wasn't done by them?"

"I don't know"

According to Zero, his father was executed for trapping the players in the game. But that wasn't done by his father.

"Don't worry. Everything is safe now"

Even if I get trapped somehow, I can easily log out by using my system.

"I still don't want you to play those games"

"I have to play"

"I will ask your girlfriend"

"Please don't"

She was also talking about some new type of VR gear.

Daulla poked me and said, "Let me fix your hair" 

I bent down on my knees--

"What are you doing?!"

"You can do it easily like this"

"Stand up. Your clothes will get dirty"

I got up.

Daulla dragged me to the bench in the balcony, and I sat on it.

"A king shouldn't kneel in front of anyone" Daulla said, fixing my hair.

"I don't mind kneeling in front of you. And mom, dad, Lirole, Lier, Elena, Grandpa, Serah, Lily"

"So many girls"

"I am famous"

"You will get more after today"

"Huh?" 

"Girls"

"I don't plan to get more"

"You won't get to decide"

"What do you mean?"

"If you get any proposals from any other royal families. Like from the princess of the neighboring kingdom, you have to accept the proposal and marry her"

"Not happening"

Talking about princesses, Rosemarie will come tonight. And Karkas too.

I wonder what they look like.

Karkas said he was 15 years old, so he will probably look like a kid.

What about other kingdoms? Will they be joining?

I don't really care about that, but I want to meet a royal other than me.

"Do you remember I used to comb your hair every day?"

"I do"

"I miss those days"

"Me too"

Sniff~ Sob~

"What's wrong, Daulla? Why are you crying?"

"I can't believe you have grown up so much"

"That's no crying matter--"

"I...I wanted to see you grow up. But the last time I saw you, you were a kid. And then I saw you after ten years"

"Daulla"

"I wanted to see it by my eyes. How you grew up. I know I shouldn't say this, even though I was supposed to be dead. I know I am being selfish but..."

I hugged her and said, "Don't worry. You can still see the rest of my growth from now on"

"But You will become King today"

"So what?"

"What if you fired me?"

"Why would I do that?"

"You can do anything you want"

"Why would I fire the girl I love?"

"You won't fire me?"

"I won't. Although I might change your position and make you my personal maid, who only serves me, days and nights"

She chucked and hugged me back.

"We have to go now, Daulla. Grandpa is waiting, remember?"

"Yeah. Let's go"
