Chapter 429 - The Newly Risen Atlantia (2) (1/2)
The next day, Tricia and I were getting the twins's luggages ready for the trip ahead. A letter cane from my mother in Alvannia stating that she is very excited for our arrival.
”It has been a long time since I have visted Alvannia.” I said while getting the twin's clothes insided the luggages. ”I am a littlet nervous but also excited as well.”
”I heard that there have been many changes in Alvannia since we left.” Tricia replied. ”I wonder how are the other maids in the palace of Alvannia are doing?”
Tricia who is also from Alvannia have not been home for a long time since we left. She has been with me for so long now.
”Have you been in touch with them?” I asked casually.
”I exchange letters with a few of them who I was close with.” Tricia replied. ”I heard some of them have married and have their own families.”
Tricia had also been an outcast inside the Alvannian palace because of being my maid. But even with unpleasant stares on is, she has been a great companion to me. I am just glad that the few friends she had in Alvannia are still keeping in touch with her.
”I am happy to hear that.” I said. ”How about you Tricia? When are you planning on settling down?” I asked with a smile.
Tricia's first love has ended and a new love started to bloom. Theon, whom I knew had feelings for Tricia sonce before started to pursue her romantically. Tricia is still a little reluctant until now, but I can see that she is starting to soften up with Theon's advances.
”I-I not yet thinking of something like that, your majesty.” Tricia blushed and smiled shyly. ”I still want to be by your side and the twins' to serve you.”
”Oh Tricia.” I said. ”You know that you can still serve us even while married. I doubt that Theon would stop you from doing what you want. He adores you so much.” I smiled at her.
”E-Even so...” Tricia replied. ”Marriage talks have nit yet been set on the table. Maybe I will think about it after it has been asked.”
”So, you are just waiting for the question.” I giggled. ”Then I guess it will not be that long.”
”Your majesty, please stop teasing.” Tricia's cheeks are burning red with embarrassment. I giggled seeing that she is happy with the life she has now.
”Okay, I will stop.” I replied with a giggle. ”Let's finish this before the twins wake up.”
*TWINS CRYING*
The twins started to cry one after the other.
”Speaking of the devil.” I said and giggled.
”Don't you mean angels, your majesty.” Tricia giggled as well.
”Good thing we are just about done.” I said.
After closing the last luggage, I stood up and walked towardd Aerith's crib. Tricia on the other hand went to Alphonse's. We both carried the twins and rocked them gently to stop them from crying.
”Are the both of you hungry?” I asked.
Tricia got the milk bottled with my milk that were stored inside a basket. They were still fresh and ste good to be given.
”There you go.” I said while giving Aerith her bottle while Tricia does the same with Alphonse.
”This will be the first trip the highnesses prince and princess will be going.” Tricia said. ”I hope there will not be any problems.”
”I hope so too.” I said while looking st the twins. ”But I feel that this will be a great experience for them.” I smiled.
”I am coming to, right.” Snow came in from the open window. ”I am carving for a new view after a long while.”
”Of course you are coming with us.” I said. ”You will be accompanying me and the twins.”
”That's good news.” Snow said and sat on one of the sofas. ”The woods here are big and vast, but it has been a long time since we traveled. I am quite excited. But before that, I will need to take a nap.” She yawned and closed her eyes.
”It looks like you have been busy outside.” I giggled. ”Go get some rest.”
*KNOCK KNOCK*
”My love, it is me.” Regaleon's voice was heard outside.
”Come in.” I replied.
The door opened and Regaleon came inside. He saw the done luggages and smiled at me.
”It looksike you are done with the twin's luggages.” Regaleon said. ”How about yours?” He walked towards me and planted a kiss on my forehead.
