Chapter 933 A Grandfather That Opens His Heart To His Grandkids
-----
After waking up and taking a bath, we meet with the rest of our families in one of the many terraces around the castle, the one closest to the flower garden in the back. Grandpa, Auntie Aina, and Grandpa were also invited to this breakfast.
Grandpa's figure was imposing, but now that he took off his armor and his crown, he looked rather normal, just a huge elf man packed with muscles... Wearing a green, rather loosen shirt and brown pants with sandals.
Wow he sure looked different.
"Thank you for coming over to our little breakfast, father." My mother said with a smile.
"Ah, well, we were here already so it wasn't anything too much to ask for." Grandfather shrugged. "Sylphy, how was the night? No discomfort in the bed?"
"E-Eh? Ah, yeah, all's fine. The bed was really good, soft, and fluffy!" I said with a giggle.
"I see... Zephy?" He asked big brother the same.
"It was fluffy Grandpa!" Zephy said, sitting over his lap for a couple of minutes by now.
"I see." He kept his stoic, almost expressionless face, but he seemed rather softened by my little brother.
He stopped drinking tea and then caressed the boy's head gently.
"Hmm... Well, if you ever feel like... living somewhere else, or in the capital. There will always be rooms here for you two." He said. "Ahem... I mean, if you ever want to, I'm not saying you should come over to live with us. Well, that would be great too, but I know you have your responsibilities back in Agartha and... But if you ever need to move, you can..."
"It's okay, honey." Grandpa held his big arm. "He's trying to say that you're welcome in our home at any time! You could come over to live with us forever and we would fine with that too!"
"Thank you for the hospitality, grandpa, grandma." I smiled. "I'll consider it once I grow older, maybe!"
"Ooh..." Grandpa suddenly got a bit happy about that. "You must consider it thoroughly!"
"Ahh, I'm still nervous. I can't believe we're having breakfast with the king..." Zack muttered.
"Just go with the flow and eat to your heart's content!" Mist said, munching on the sweets and pastries, as maidservants brought new things over and over.
"These teas are so good too, and the donuts go so well with them!" Said Celeste. "My King, your bakers and tea blenders are sure talented."
"Thank you, I've chosen the best ones qualified for the job." Said the King sternly. "Celeste, I'm glad our food is of your liking. If you ever want something more endemic of demon cuisine, we've been working on demon tribe menus, we've got a few demon chefs that joined our kitchen recently, they come from countries of the Demon Continent and the Araburn Continent."
"Ohhh? You're really putting it in effort, gramps!" Celeste laughed.
"D-Don't call him like that, Celeste!" Lara panicked.
"Gramps..." The King muttered. "No, it's fine... Children will be children." He let it go easily.
"I wonder if there are anima chefs?" Asked Luck.
"Yes, there are quite a few! Most of the things you're eating are made from Anima chefs, they're usually better than elves because of their keen, heightened senses! The best chefs out there are all Anima people." The King said pridefully.
"Wooow..." Lara was amazed. "Maybe I could become a chef once all the hero job's done..."
"You're already thinking about that?" Luck was surprised of Lara's carefree mindset.
"Well yeah! Sylphy's parents and Aquarina's parents are all free now and they're dedicating themselves to other things!" Lara said. "It's fair we think about it too, no?"
"Hahahah, well, I guess..." Luck laughed, amazed on Lara's lighthearted remarks.
"Never change, Lara." I said with a giggle.
"More importantly, I wanted to talk something with you children." My mother suddenly interrupted the peaceful breakfast.
Things were getting a bit serious now...
