Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Royal Palace, Guest Palace
"Wyatt, if you want to we can arrange for people to bring your manager and Corey to the southern capital. However, Anna would be jealous that arranging to bring your manager to the palace was your first business in order after you woke up from the cryosleep," Ann said walking into the guest palace hall and catching the boy and his friends by surprise.
"Ann, your family love to eavesdrop doesn't it," I said sarcastically
"No, it is just the burden we have to bear as a result of our high realms," Ann retorted implying that her family member's realm was so high that they hear voices from afar causing others to mistake their ability as eavesdropping.
"Sure, blame others when you guys are too dumb to control your abilities," Right now I was not a big fan of anyone in the Heatsend family except for Anna who was accepting punishment for doing something I asked her to do.
"Burn!" Aba yelled as she had a score to settle with Ann for those embarrassing pictures Anna took of her. She could care less that Ann and Anna were two different people. Honestly, In the guest palace apart from the boy she was the only one who could get away with taunting the royal family.
Even so, Agatha desperately nudged Aba her elbow hoping her princess would not enjoy this too much. After all, they were in the heart of the Southern Royal family so it would not be wise to cut the branch they were sitting on.
Listening to the boy call the royal family members dumb to the face of Ann Aria's mood kept fluctuating affecting her stealth. However, she desperately tried to control her rage knowing that the Soldier Queen held the boy in high regard and would probably overlook his rudeness again. As for Laura, she was the only one enjoying the refreshments prepared by the head butler for the guests, *Crunch* *Crunch*
Attracting the attention of everyone in the hall. Feeling the gaze of everyone Laura paused and defended, "Sorry, these cookies are just too good."
"The royal baker will be happy that you like the cookies, Miss Hill, would you prefer a glass of milk or a cup of tea with them?" the head butler said trying to erase the awkwardness in the room.
Colton knew the boy was a very important guest regardless of his realm because the guest palace no.1 was only allocated to those the Southern Royal family held dear or those they wanted to impress. And from the looks of it, it appears the Souther Royal family held the boy dear and also wanted to impress him. Therefore, he did not hesitate to step in to smooth the conversation between Princess Ann and the boy.
"A cup of milk without sugar, please," Laura replied enthusiastically ignoring the gaze of everyone in the room.
"What about you, Sir and Madams?" Colton politely asked others if they wanted any beverages.
"None for me,"
"Nope"
"No"
The rest of us rejected Colton's offer only to hear Laura say, "If you guys don't want them, can I have all these cookies?"
All of us nodded our heads in shock looking at Laura stuff her face with a dozen or so cookies. Soon Agatha came to Laura's defense saying, "Laura, looks like you have grown quite an appetite practicing your sword dance the whole night."
"Yes, but how do these cookies taste so good despite being sugar-free," Laura said while stuffing her face with another cookie and then continued to ask, "You guys sure you don't want to taste them?"
"*Ahem* Miss Hill, those cookies are not sugar-free," Colton pointed out to Laura wondering why she would assume that the cookies were sugar-free.
"They are not sugar-free?" Laura asked Colton in shock. Because of her ugly past with weight and food, in Sun blossom city's Hill family the servants prepared all of Laura's food following a specific diet, so she unwitting assumed the same in the guest palace.
"They are not," Colton awkwardly nodded his head
*Barf* Laura suddenly began to vomit uncontrollably spilling saliva and digestive juices mixed with chewed-up cookies. Thankfully Colton was quick to act he used his cleaning card to clean the floor and make it spotless and shiny again during the small interval between Laura's uncontrollable vomiting.
"What the fuck?" Aba cussed, only to hear Agatha and Ann yell simultaneously, "Language Princess/Aba."
"Don't mind her, she was called cubby during her childhood causing her to become overcautious about her weight," I explained in Laura's stead. Letting others know that Laura's condition was psychological and there was no we could do about it.
"Kids are mean," Aba instantly felt for Laura because kids called her shorty her entire childhood and they still do.
Understanding that Aba misinterpreted my words I said, "It is not like what you think."
"Believe me, I know what she has been through," Aba argued as she finally found a common point to bond with Laura. Shaking my head, I decided not to bother correcting Aba because it was too much of a hassle.
"Wyatt, how about we start our palace tour now?" Ann asked the boy ignoring that a few seconds ago the boy called her dumb.
"Sure, lead the way," A palace tour sounded a lot better than watching Laura vomit everything she eat after her last bowel movement while the head butler used his cleaning card to clean the vomit again and again.
"Where are you going?" Ann asked Aba seeing her follow her.
"Palace tour, didn't you just offer to take us on a palace tour?" Aba respond.
"No, the palace tour is just for Wyatt and me," Ann corrected Aba, there was no way she was letting this shorty and her bodyguard become the third wheel to her alone time she had managed to get with the boy.
"Why not?" Aba protested and demanded why she could not go on the palace tour with the boy
"Yes, why not?" listening to the boy question her too, Ann had no choice but to cave, "Sure, why not?"
Before following Ann and me on a palace tour Aba yelled at vomiting Laura, "Chubby, Ann is taking us on the royal palace tour, join us when you are done barfing."
