Chapter five: Harvest Festival and Meeting Again with the Gods.

Laughter, music and the rhythmic beats of horse footprints enliven the streets of the city during the day.

Cheers of admiration and applause rang out when a polite bowed young man finished playing the accordion.

Behind the crowds in the city, two boys who are the sons of the king spend the day in a small Mansion, reading books.

The two maids— named Tina and Sia—who guarded them, watching the two young masters take turns.

Arthur Melvielle, his once bloated body is now beginning to take shape. His little hand held the etiquette book that Killian had read with him.

Killian Tierney, the fat on his body that used to be a lot of clumping has now begun to decrease, his firm facial lines have begun to be seen.

The two were sitting on a wide, hairy carpet in the middle of the room.

Killian, who was sitting in front of Arthur, read the etiquette book, leaning his back on Arthur's chest, tired of reading the book without pictures.

"Actually I was happy to see the peaceful sight of Young Master Killian and Young Master Arthur like this... But I want to feel like I'm taking them to town to see today's harvest festival." Tina lirih.

"You're right. Moreover, this harvest festival only happens once every 3 years.."

Arthur glanced at the two maids from the tail of his eyes. His head then looked up, staring at the expanse of blue sky outside the window.

As the two servants said, the harvest festival happened once every 3 years. Three years have passed since Arthur saw the future.

During those 3 years Arthur studied the calculation of the year in this world just like the earth. A Solunar year is equal to 12 months.

The harvest festival is usually held every early spring, Tupa— month mid-March on earth.

Seasons change easily, but the future I see has not changed.

Frankly, Arthur was feeling troubled.

After Emma gave birth, Emma fell into a coma. Then Shandechz moved Arthur and Killian to a small Mansion located quite far from the Main Palace— where Arthur and Killian were previously. Not to forget to ask her two children to learn royal etiquette and learn to protect themselves.

Arthur suspects that Shandechz removed himself and Killian from the main palace so as not to grieve seeing Emma lying in bed every day.

Once upon a time Arthur tried to see the future again through his forehead that came into contact with Killian's forehead. Luckily Arthur only had a fever for 3 days. But unfortunately Arthur had to swallow disappointed because the future he saw did not change.

Arthur stretched his body, "Kill, get away dong, my body ached into a backrest."

Killian moved to face Arthur, staring at Arthur expectantly. I wish Arthur would play or read a fairy tale to him.

Despite knowing Killian's wish, Arthur ignores him. He changed his position to prone, still faithful by holding and then reading a book of etiquette.

If it wasn't for my lazy etiquette class, I wouldn't be at home reading this etiquette book.

Though I am still a child who has not even 6 years, but has been burdened with learning etiquette, huft.

Even so, all the complaints that Arthur can only say in his heart.

Arthur glanced at Killian who was still staring at him.

Killian could have taken an etiquette class today, because her teachers paid more attention to Killian than Arthur. But Killian would rather go to class if Arthur did, too.

"Bright..." Arthur sighed softly.

I don't know since when Killian so keep sticking to me.

Arthur was in an amused tingle when a small hand touched his back. Both eyes stared at the perpetrator.

"Hey."

"You're tired. The servants do this when my body is tired." Ignoring the annoyed gaze—right hold back geli—Arthur, Killian back massaging Arthur's back.

This shitty kid! The problem is your hands are too small to massage so amused!

A pillow fight ensues between the two boys.

"They both started again..." Tina shook her head with a faint smile, no wonder to see Arthur and Killian who often fight.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

A knock followed by the open door of the room stopped the two boys from acting.

A male servant named Aide walked in, bowing his body to Arthur and Killian. "Good afternoon Young Master Killian, Good afternoon Young Master Arthur."

Then switch to face Tina.

"Tina, Madame Chief Maid, you bought this in town." Aide gave Tina a piece of paper.

Tina was visibly shocked when her finger came into contact with Aide when she received the paper.

Oho..

Arthur's instincts that heed it say there's a seed of love growing. A prickly smile spread across his face.

Bugh!

"Akh!"

Killian hit the back of Arthur's head with a pillow.

"My excuse was wlee!"

Fucking kid.

"The lady also advised to invite Young Master Killian and Young Master Arthur. Today is a bright day, a pity to miss." Aide showed her sweet smile making Tina speechless for a moment to nod Aide's smile.

"O-oh.. All right, thanks."

Aide nodded then left the room.

"You're good, you can see today's festival in town." Sia frowning.

"Hey, how about you come too? You know I alone can't take care of two young masters.. I'll ask the Kitchen Chief's permission."

"really? Yeay!" Sia ran over to Arthur and Killian.

"Young Master Killian, Young Master Arthur let's get to town!"

•••

"Yohhhh.."

I don't know how many times Arthur heard the word 'wuoh' come out of Killian's lips.

There are plenty of quirky, classic-style booths and shops. Plus colorful pieces of paper mixed with flower petals scattered every time the dogcart that the royals were riding passed.

Undeniably, the atmosphere of the classic-style festival is amazing!

The four of them decided to go around buying the necessities that Madame Head Maid had requested, occasionally they also stopped at one of the booths to take a look.

Arriving in front of a small colorful painted shop with a wooden board banner hanging a picture of a dolphin, Arthur pulls Tina's clothes slowly. Automatic Tina and Sia who took Killian also stopped.

"What's Young Master Arthur?"

Arthur pointed to the unique little shop without the name.

Arthur recalled, while taking a tea etiquette class with Aide, Aide suggested going to a store with a signature banner dolphin drawing board. All the desserts in the store were delicious.

Actually Arthur had guessed that the shop Aide meant belonged to the Aide family, judging from the way Aide was so proud and very expecting Arthur to come.

Tina followed Arthur's direction.

"Aide said the dessert at the store was delicious."

"Eh.. Does that store sell dessert? Looks like an accessories store." Tina was doubtful.

Not wanting to linger, Arthur pulled Tina's hand into the store. A unique store without a name.

"Welcome!"

A red-clothed middle-aged woman greeted them in front of the cashier's desk.

Arthur's guess is correct. The appearance of the woman is similar to Aide, if asked if the woman is Mother Aide, Arthur will answer for sure 'yes!'.

"Woah, it turns out that this is really selling dessert." Tina said she was embarrassed because she had hesitated.

"The smell is so sweet!" Sia said cheerfully. While Killian. Compared to Arthur, Killian prefers dessert, because Killian's physique is more contained than Arthur.

"Tina, I want an apple cupcake."

"Ready Young Master Arthur!"

When the four of them coolly choose a dessert to buy, Arthur's body accidentally nudged the arms of another child.

"Ma—" Not yet had time to apologize, a white-robed child who was nudged by Arthur ran out of the store.

Arthur fell silent as he glimpsed the long green strands of hair that were blocked by the hood of the child's robe.

White robes, green hair...

Not likely.. God Vita?!

Arthur hurried after the boy.

"Hey Arthur, we've never eaten avocado pudding, have we?"

There is no reason, Killian turned to look for the whereabouts of Arthur. "Huh... Arthur doesn't exist." Right after muttering, Killian's red eyes glowed.

•••

"Hoshis... Hoshs.. You can't run anymore. Dead-end alley!"

After long enough chasing after a child that Arthur believes is Lord Vita, the two of them finally stop at a dead end alley.

The robed little boy turned his body to face Arthur. The hood of his robe he lowered, revealing a familiar face.

Arthur smiled proudly.

My guess is right!

"It is you, Lord Vita."

Vita in front of Arthur now looks different from what Arthur previously met. The current form of Vita is a small child, has a body size not much different from Arthur.

"Hello Arthur. How's it going? Have you found an answer about yourself?" Vita smiled until her eyes formed a crescent moon.

"of course. Thank you, thanks to you every day I always wonder when I can see you again. Because there's still so much I want to ask you."

"Haha, I expected it. That's why I came to see you and brought you here. Say, what makes you wonder?"

Arthur straightened his body. Adjusting his still-stiff breath.

"What business do you have with me?"

There was a silence a few seconds before laughter came out of Vita's mouth. "Bwahaha, I didn't expect your first question to be like that."

Arthur put his shoulders together no matter what. "Let's just say I'm easily suspicious of anyone. You used to meet me to turn the clock around so I wouldn't die again, right?"

Vita smiled faintly at him. "I meet you to tell you, no matter how hard you try to change and think, the future will not change."

Arthur's countenance turned sad, "Then there's no hope Mama will wake up huh?"

Vita walked over to Arthur. Both of his hands held Arthur's shoulders tightly. "Who said there is no hope? You haven't come back to your hometown."

Arthur raised his head. Staring at Vita's glittering golden eyes. "Go to the village of Melvielle, find the trapping plants of the past. Then ask Ras Naiad to make a potion from the root of the plant."

"But I don't understand."

Vita quietly waited for Arthur to continue speaking.

"Is the current Melvielle Race mostly a mixture of other races?"

Vita looked into Arthur's eyes as if reading Arthur's mind.

"It looks like your father said that Ras Arthan is actually Ras Melvielle, hm."

Arthur nodded in confirming. "Because of that, shouldn't Mama be fine after giving birth to Ras Arthan's child? But after looking at Mama's situation and talking to you, I guess my guess is correct."

Father pure Ras Melvielle, Mama Mixed Ras Melvielle.

"You're right about the Melvielle Race now being more mixed race, so not all Melvielle Races have powers like you. But Ras Melvielle's supposed ability to give birth to Ras Arthan was a different thing." Vita explained.

Vita's mind thinks quickly looking for the right sentence to explain the purpose of the explanation. "From the beginning, even though Ras Arthan was Ras Melvielle, they were still different. You could say Ras Arthan is the evolved Race Melvielle."

Arthur bergeming. A whole new set of questions popped into his mind.

"Then... What should I do if I can't change the future? What do I have to do to become an evolved Melvielle Race?"

Vita gave a meaningful smile. His mouth was open about to say something if only not interrupted a shout..,

"GET AWAY FROM ARTHUR!"

The scream echoed through the alley followed by a wisp of water magic that shot rapidly towards Vita.

But as if there was a barrier protecting Vita's body, the magic bounced back to attack the attacker.

"Eh.. The magic...?" The assailant was surprised that his magic bouncing back would attack him.

"Wine..." Vita hurriedly formed a shield to protect the little attacker.

The water magic blob broke into a water speck upon touching the shield Vita created.

"Killians?" Arthur approached Killian who was sitting on the ground, looking a little shocked.

"Just calm down, her body was only shocked at being forced to cast magic. To be able to come looking for you, he used magic." Vita says relax.

Arthur crouches down to help Killian stand up, but instead of accepting Arthur's help, Killian hugs Arthur tightly.

"Arthur can't go!" Killian's voice was shaking. "Mama's not awake anymore, Papa doesn't care about Killian anymore. If Arthur leaves too, Killian alone.."

Arthur's eyes were hot when he heard Killian's words.

So all this time she was also very sad Mama was in a coma.

Arthur recalled Killian's attitude when he saw Emma lying on the bed, flat facial expression, then indifferent attitude as if he thought Emma was just sleeping as usual.

I thought she didn't understand because she was a child, but it turned out that she was lonely too..

"Hueeeeeee... Excuse me... I promise I won't leave suddenly again...!" Arthur was crying.

"Youngpam..." Followed by the cry of Killian who was also no less fierce than Arthur.

"Haishis... These two boys. I forgot they were kids so it's easy to cry." Vita massaged his forehead, dizzy.

After crying for a long time, Vita tells Arthur to go back to his servant and have fun in the city.

Before leaving Vita, Arthur hears a voice in his mind.

"The only thing you can do even if you can't change the future and so you can evolve is to try to be strong."

And when Arthur turned to look for Vita's whereabouts, Vita was gone.
