chapter 35

A Month has already flown by and today was the day! Enrique, personally got up before the husband and baby. He looks at them sleeping on the bed. His little angel will cry if no one is beside him on this big bed so he gives Leslie a big kiss on the cheek then gently drags his knees next to Astolpho who was sleeping soundly. For the past few days now his imperial work has been keeping him on his toes especially since the regents would be arriving soon.

He gently moves his arm then rests the baby's head on it, Astolpho shifts. "Mm, what are you doing?" He mumbles.

"Resting Leslie on your arm, I'm going to make something," Enrique smiles.

"Aren't you going to get some sleep… I haven't Mm been doing my side hmm" he mutters still half asleep.

Enrique chuckles, "I'm glad you know that, so when your done with everything your on your own"

Astolpho inhales and snuggles with the baby, "... okay"

Astolpho was already out cold, while Enrique snuck off the bed then went and brushed his teeth then took a morning shower. He puts on a simple tunic and trousers, then heads out.

On his way out he asks for directions to the kitchen, though the servants were taken back by that question they guide him there. The kitchen staff upon seeing him bows respectfully.

"Greetings to your Majesty Queen Ishley!"

Enrique smiles, "raise, go back to what you were doing I just need to make something"

"No need, your majesty, it is our duty! What do you require?" the chef said.

"Hmm fruits, a bowl, potatoes, fruits, some vegetables and a pot with water! Also water knife and a few other things" he smiles.

The servants were all confused, was his majesty planning to cook?

Getting what was requested, they diligently watch the queen, fretting instead their hearts.

Cleaning and peeling the ingredients carefully, he puts on the pot on the stove. Conveniently he learns a lot about the magic items and stones of this world which wasn't hard so he could adapt quickly, he didn't know what type of baby food little Leslie would like so he is thinking of making mash and well prepared potatoes or fruits or simply vegetables.

Enrique is happy, this world didn't make it difficult for him, he is happy. He wonders how everyone is back at his home then again grief happens they all have their own lives to move on to. He remembers how he used to believe nothing will ever make him complete but seeing this world was very welcoming of him he can't help but be full with happiness.

If it's a dream, don't wake him up…

Astolpho gets up, when the conversation he previously had finally processed through his mind, he looks at the child in his arms. Then realised if the child doesn't get any breast milk in the morning his temper becomes the worst.

He sits up and looks up to see if his mate left milk at least… nope he's doom.

"You're now at the mercy of an infant HAHAHA" the evil king laughs at Astolpho.

"Now, now don't listen we shall be—"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH"

Astolpho looks at the child who was red as tomato, he was just sleeping and now his swelling. He gets up off the bed when the door suddenly opens.

"Perfect timing you for—"

Enrique walks up to him and takes the crying child. "Let's go have breakfast!" Enrique smiles

Astolpho was confused, but didn't resist when Enrique grabbed his hand and hurried to the dining room. There was a high seat next to their table, he looked at his mate who put the baby down inside and the maids came with three tiny bowls with sauce instead.

"Why are you giving Astel sauce?"

Enrique looks at him, he puffs for a while then chuckles. Astolpho was more confused as he said something ridiculous, he turned to the baby as he scooped a little of the well cooked and mashed vegetables then moved it closer to the baby's mouth.

Leslie looks at the spoon he tightens his mouth shut when the spoon reaches his mouth, he looks up at his mother with a glare.

"Oh my, what a fierce look," Enrique said

Astolpho whose arms were fold looks at the child with humour, "hm, he looks familiar"

"Now open up, little pumpkin time to eat breakfast," Enrique coos.

Leslie waves his hand slapping away the spoon causing the food to spill, "Gagaga! Buuu!! Bababa!"

The child was becoming extremely cranky, Astolpho looked at him. "I don't think he likes it"

"How will he know if he likes it, if he hasn't tasted it" Enrique glares at Astolpho.

Astolpho would be lying if he said he didn't find it funny, as well as cute. Seeing the mother and son with the same glaring expression makes him want to kiss them both.

"Okay, young man you shall be eating this today!"

Leslie slams the table, he wants milk. "Buu!"

"I shall make my ultimate move"

Enrique scoops some more then starts moving his arm around while making a whistling sound, Leslie's eyes follow spoon pupils widen at the movements, his mouth then gapes and Enrique slowly flies in.

"And the plans lands" he said

When the baby closed his mouth realising what happened he was stunned but then paused, his gums started to move as a big smile came. Enrique did the aeroplane again feeding him.

Soon the empress walks in the room, "huh, Astolpho why are you not dressed, it's inappropriate to walk around in only your night garments" she lectures.

"I–"

"Queen Ishley I'd like to discuss a matter on the musical you want…"

She looked at them tilting her head when she saw the mother and son. "Oh, your personally feeding him, well I guess we can discuss this after breakfast"

Astolpho looks at his mother, then sighs. "You can, I'll feed him while you two talk"

She scratches her cheek awkwardly, "um, how about we talk mother and son bonding time" she offers.

The door soon opens as another servant rushes to his side, bows at the royals then whispers something in Astolpho's ear. He sighs then combs his hand through his hair.

"Sorry, love, mother and your highness but I must cut breakfast short" he said.

"But you haven't eaten," Enrique said.

"I'll eat soon, don't worry," he smiles.

He exits the room, leaving the rest. Enrique pouts a bit upset. He didn't even drink the smoothie he made.
