BXBX NOVEL Chapter 332 Family Routine
It\'s been a month since the celebration and the rebuilding of the Capital.
The skies are now as bright as they should be and the atmosphere is now even more lively than before.
The biggest blessing that happened during the war was the rise of the Three Great Princes of the Seriende Empire.
The First Prince Kazimir, although his maternal family was the main culprit in the matter, chose to protect the people and become the frontline in the fight against his own mother.
Now, no one in the Empire thought of him as a son of the traitor, but as a full-pledged prince who stood on the side of justice and righteousness, even if the other side was his very own flesh and blood.
Moreover, most of the people witnessed how he nearly died trying to resist the power of the curse that was forcefully injected at him. Everyone thought that they would truly lose a prince of the Empire, if not for the Paladin descending from the heavens, bringing healing to him and to the land.
The Second Prince Antoine, once whom the Empire thought was dead but was secretly saved by the Third Prince and The Great Doctor.
His act of sacrificing himself to save his older brother and the rest of the platoon has earned him a reputation of being a selfless prince whose mind is set on the safety of the people.
To add to that, when he miraculously came back, everyone was deeply surprised because his strength was now comparable with a peak level A class summoner, just one step closer to being an S Level mage.
Speaking of S-class, who would have known that the biggest surprise of them all was the Third Prince of the Seirende Empire, Leon!
Who would have known that the supposedly trashy third prince was actually a legendary open path and a formidable S-level mage! Every person in the capital would never forget how he casually summoned the spatial spirit, King!
The Spatial Spirit King!
That was a feat that Prasinon would never imagine achieving!
Contracting the ruler of the spatial realm would mean that you could also control the teleportation void which everyone could only access by setting up a complicated array and countless amounts of spirit stones.
The renown of the three Princes started to spread out to the nearby kingdoms and territories. And so some of them showed interest in having a good relationship with either of the three for they were sure to gain benefits by being close to them.
Everyone was now waiting for the Seirende Empire to once again open its doors to diplomatic relationships, especially the women.
Too bad, the first two princes were already married and Seirende royalties aren\'t really keen on taking multiple spouses with the exception of the current Emperor.
And so the hope was now put towards the chance to get closer to the Third Prince, the strongest and most formidable one!
Even the noble ladies in the capital had also seen this opportunity and have now started to try to make ways to get acquainted with the Third Prince.
But who would have known?!
Even as his renown was known, Third Prince Leon maintained his seclusive routine by just attending to the matters in the main palace, or to the Crimson Blade Barracks and then to his home estate. He would never be seen attending social gatherings unless it was an official assignment ordained by the Emperor himself.
The ladies and even the hoping noble families were actually frustrated about this matter. It seems like they had to work harder to catch the prince\'s attention!
Unbeknownst to them, the most anticipated prince of the Capital was actually maintaining a faithful routine of a family man. After work, he would ensure that he would get home early to see his son and wait for his soon-to-be-wife to finish her job in the institute.
"Daddi!!!" Little Han stood from his plushie playground and peeked over the picket fence. Excited to see his dad going home, he jumped excitedly calling out to Leon with a wide grin.
"Did you have fun today Little Buddy?" Leon immediately went to him and carried him in his arms.
"Aye!!!" Little Han responded excitedly.
"Welcome home Prince Master!" Baobao was the one who looked after Little Han along with Rosea.
These days, Eli and Leon decided not to bother the elders as they were also busy with the matters of the capital and so they asked the five knights, Baobao and Rosea to look after Little Han.
As for him and Eli, they made their schedules work that Eli would be the one to take care of Little Han\'s needs during the morning then she would go to the institute during the midday after making Little Han take his meals.
Leon would then be the one who would look after him as he clocked out of work during early afternoons. As for the nap times, that was when Rosea and the rest would have to look after Little Han.
Leon and Eli felt somehow relieved that this current setup would work for the two of them. In fact, they realized many things now that they were trying to work out their family on their own, on top of their respective duties to the Empire.
But the couple welcomed this kind of change to the family as they were both looking forward to becoming a real one in the eyes of the heavens.
"Now let\'s go to the kitchen and start preparing the food… Your mommy likes to eat right after work so we have to get ready by that time…" Leon told Little Han as the two went to the kitchen.
"Yay!!!" Little Han excitedly shouted because it was his favorite part of the afternoon!
The father and son would often go to the kitchen to prepare their dinner. Leon would always make sure that Little Han would have something to work on even if it was just peeling some freshly harvested parsley for garnish. This activity had become their habit for the past month.
"Ok… for today, Baobao had grown some cherry tomatoes, can you help Baobao harvest the little fruits??" After Leon let Little Han sit on a high chair, he had Baobao bring two flourishing pots of tomato plants. He placed it near Little Han and beside him was a wooden bowl where he could place the cherry tomatoes.
"Yesh!!!" Little Han blinked and his eyes twinkled with interest when he saw the pot of cherry tomato plant. There was anticipation and curiosity in his eyes, but before he touched, he looked at Leon asking if he had any more instructions.
Leon smiled at his son\'s adorable appearance and pointed at the cherry tomatoes that were now red-orange. "This color is red-orange… if the cherry tomato looked like this, then it was now ripe for us to eat today. So you should only get these ones and not the green or lighter ones.
He plucked the glistening cherry tomato and let Little Han touch it for inspection. Then he looked at his father and pointed to another one who had the same color as the one Leon gave, "..matoe?"
"Yes… you got it right!" Leon praised him for getting the color right.
"Jiheeheee…" Little Han giggled as he plucked the cute tomato and put it in his bowl. Now two cherry tomatoes were rolling on his wooden ball as he showed it to Leon proudly.
"Keep it up! Now you and Baobao have one bowl each to fill, alright?" Leon brushed Little Han\'s head tenderly and pulled the apron near the counter to start his cooking.
"Aye!!!" Little Han responded happily as he started to lift his hands to carefully pick the tomatoes just like how Baobao was doing it.
He would occasionally look at Baobao to be sure that he was doing everything right, and so he was able to pluck the cherry tomatoes successfully without destroying the little plant.
"Yay!!!!" Soon enough Little Han finished filling his wooden bowl with tomatoes and so was Baobao.
"Good Job!" Leon praised the two as he had also finished braising the beef in the pot and of course, the rice, which Eli really loves.
"Now let\'s set this aside for later… this will be mixed with the salad…" Leon then took the plants away and cleaned the tomatoes. Then he also carried Little Han to the kitchen sink and washed his hands.
"Hmmm, I smell lovely beef and luscious rice!!!"
Suddenly, an excited and beautiful voice rang from the kitchen door, surprising the trio.
"Mommi!!!!" Little Han raised his hands excitedly, but because he was in the middle of washing his hands, his actions made Leon a bit wet with the splash.
"Oh!" Leon and Eli were a bit startled however, what came after was a light chuckle.
"I\'m home my loves!!" Eli smilingly went over to the kitchen sink and kissed Little Han\'s cheeks.
Leon was a bit down when Eli kissed Little Han like it was nothing, especially when she kept on interacting with his son as if he was on the air.
Just as he was about to harumph to indicate his sulkiness, he felt a damp soft kiss landing on his cheeks. Eli had suddenly kissed him and his body jolted stiff as he was not even ready for the kiss that was landed on him.
"Ah…" Caught off guard, he could only let out a startled sound.
But then he received another kiss on the other side of his cheeks, but this time it was Little Han who did so, "Jiheeeheeee!"
