Chapter 356 (2/2)

“Yeah, that’s right. So, don’t cry. Mom said if you cried, you were a bad girl, right?”

When I stopped walking and listened to their conversation quietly, I came to see Dia who was trying to comfort her younger sister with an embarrassed expression. Letting out a sigh of relief, Dia poked her in the ribs and said, “Elina, Daddy, the emperor is here. Go and say hi!”

“Uh, really? Wow, Daddy, Your Majesty!”

The little girl jumped off the chair cheerfully as if nothing happened. Rublis smiled at her, lifting her jumping into his arms.

“Why are you so late, Daddy, Your Majesty?”

“I’m sorry. I tried to come quickly, but I had to take care of some other stuff. Did you wait for me a lot? ”

“Yes, I’ve been waiting a lot. Mom told us that we should not eat the cake until you came.”

Obviously they were more focused on the cake than on him.

When he walked into the shade of the tree, holding Elina in his arms, Aristia greeted him with a smile.

“Come on in, Rube. It looks like you were quite busy.”

“Well, not necessarily. My aide, Lanckle, kept holding me without any sense. I found it hard to hold back my anger.”

“Don’t be upset. He is working hard for the emperor anyway, right? And he is very diligent.”

After calming him down with a soothing voice, she said, looking around her children, “Diana, Adrian, say hi to your father.”

“Welcome, Daddy, Your Majesty!”

“Hi Daddy.”

Diana was smiling charmingly at him, Adrian just bowed to him and Elina buried her face in his arms. He and Tia had three children, but their character was different from each other.

Among them, only Adrian seemed to resemble him, so he looked cold. But Rublis felt he was still so cute. When he was stroking his son’s hair like now, Adrian frowned his eyebrows but liked it. Sometimes, Adrian acted like an adult, but Rublis still regarded his actions as cute.

Of course, other people didn’t necessarily think so.

After stroking Adrian’s hair once again, Rublis sat in an empty seat, holding Elina in his arm. As he had Elina sit on his lap comfortably, she said, picking up a small fork immediately, “Your Majesty, can I have a cake now?”

“You have to say to Daddy, ‘Please try it first, Your Majesty.’ Say it, Elina.”

“Yes, Mom. Please have a cake, Your Majesty. ”

“Sure, baby. Enjoy the cake a lot.”

When she pretended to lift the fork after nodding, Adrian quickly grabbed a cake plate as if he was waiting for this moment.

Rublis watched him in satisfaction for a moment and looked aside, turning down the fork off.

“By the way, Tia.”

“Yes, please go ahead, Rube.”

“As for what you told me last night, I think I’ve figured out what to do. Would you want to go with me?

“Ah yes. Sounds good.”

“Good. Then let’s go after tea time. ”

“Sure.”

Her warm, glowing golden eyes smiled at him. He winked at her gentle smile.
