Suddenly a Nanny!?
Eps. 14 About Zack

A black-haired woman sits in a chair and is grumpy. He was faced with a piece of paper. The woman closed her eyes and slightly scrunched her forehead.

"Hufts... What am I supposed to do?" Mumbled Via.

It's been a year for via and Stella to be Zack's babysitter. There are not many unexpected events. Lea and Leo are already gaining magic power with a large manna. It was Zack who taught them how to control their magic power.

And of course now the relationship between Zack and the twins is well established.

...****************...

After Lea and Leo are finished in recovery, Lea immediately invites Zack to a picnic together in the city park. Of course Zack immediately handed over all the tasks to Dion, Zack's assistant.

"I trust you all!" Zack said as he passed away.

"Ba. good Duke! Huft... Looks like I'll be late for home" Dion murmured.

They were in the city park. Stella and via come with them. Cheerful face decorate the face of the twins. So did Zack. They spent the whole day outside the mansion.

After the picnic, they went around the market that was there. There was a festival at that time. There are a lot of shows they see. One of them is a theater show which is the most awaited by people. But not with Zack, he doesn't really like boyish things like that.

The four of them, Stella, via, and the middle twins are enjoying the show. Via felt something was lacking. Zack wasn't inside. Via decides to go looking for Zack.

Via looking around. Suddenly he stopped for a while, then he pointed at two men who were chatting.

"The Duke? Why don't you come in?" Tanya.

"I don't like things like that" Zack said.

The view via was diverted with the man who was beside Zack. He was wearing simple clothes but not his face. White hair and red eyes. Eye color that only royal members have.

Who else if not Alex and Zack is now neglected.

"Huh?! His majesty... Eh I mean sir" said via while bowing slightly.

"Hi via, next time be careful with your talk, I could be pulled back to the palace" whispered Alex.

"Ma... Sorry sir... But did you run away?" Tanya.

"Well that seems to be it, what a coincidence there is you, let's go for a walk! I would like to ask you for help too!" said Alex who immediately pulled a hand via to leave.

suddenly someone reached for his hand via the other one. via looking quickly.see the Duke's face changed badly.

"but sir, I haven't asked permission with the duke" he said, staring expectantly at Zack.

"yeah yes. right too. just allow via this time with me Zack!"

"he came with Leo and Lea, so he has to be with them" Zack said.

"there's no other nanny.. Who is that? ah yes Stella? take it easy I will keep and return via safely." said Alex while carrying away before Zack agreed to his words.

"DON'T BE LATE! YOU ONLY HAVE HALF AN HOUR!!" Zack yelled at Alex, who he didn't even hear.

...****************...

"hahah.I can finally take you away!" alex laughed while looking around him.

"but where is this master going?"

"i'd like to thank you for giving me a present,"

"sama-sama sir" said via clumsy.

"so now I want to ask for help, I want to give something to two women that I really care about"

"you're asking me to pick something for them?" tanya.

"Yep! that's right, the first lady is my mother, I want to give her something precious enough "

"if in my opinion, the most beautiful gift sees you grow up healthy and happy, sir"

"hmm. yes, but I want to give you something, I hope you can help me" Alex said, making a clear face.

"Eumm... okay, if you can tell who the second woman is for?"

"i'll tell you when the time is right" Alex said with a warm smile.

they went around from one store to another, when they arrived at a pretty antique store selling antiques.

"well, this is the most unique notebook I've ever seen" Alex said with sparkling eyes as he looked at one of the antique books he held.

"you are absolutely right, sir! this book is quite difficult to find, especially this book can be locked by magic so no one just opens it" said the merchant master.

"how's via?"

"hmm I think it's good, but who do you want to give it to?"

"i'll give it to my mom, she loves to write" Alex said, smiling at the book.

the view via diverted on a music box is not fancy but very memorable.

"lord look at this!" said via grabbing that music box.

"well I'll buy it. ohiya is there anything you want to buy? buy one"

initially via not good if you choose yourself, but he had glanced at a simple hairpin that is very beautiful according to him.

"eum, can this one?" tanya via while pointing towards the hairpin.

"well, you're very good at choosing, take it"

after making the transaction, they walked out of the store and directly went towards the direction Zack was in.

"i've heard about the twins.it must be exhausting right?" ask Alex on the via while walking.

"ah neither sir, the Duke must be tired because there is a lot to do" he said via.

"huftt.I didn't expect the twins to be able to activate their magic that fast, but Zack is the fastest"

"you mean?"

"you don't know because you haven't been here too long? well I'll tell you a little bit about Zack, but you're quiet" Alex smiled as he showed his teeth.

"i remember once when I was two and Zack was three, he also had an older brother. Zayn was just eight years old when his parents were very concerned about Zayn. he had to be the heir of a very powerful young Duke...

"but Zayn had the disease since childhood, but the people around him no one noticed, only Zack who always accompanied Zayn. but the fate of Zayn was no longer able to withstand the pain that he was suffering at that time, until he died at a very young age...

"while losing his brother, Zack seemed to lose his way, until he finally activated his considerable magic energy.Zack's father immediately stopped him but Zack's magic was so powerful, Zack's magic was, finally, Zack's father also left them, until finally he lived with the mother who constantly blamed Zack for the death of Zayn and also his father...

"therefore, he did not want such a thing to happen to the twins, although the marriage was done because it was forced by his mother.My mother was very eager to help him, she said, but unfortunately, Zack's mother was very stubborn that it was their business, and we were also part of their family." Alex said at length telling the story of his cousin. until now Alex still feels sorry for Zack, so he also wants to help Zack in everything.

"sir, thank you for telling me, I know it must be very difficult to tell especially the Duke himself." said via which it did not feel he had reached the place they were headed.

"you guys are so long!" said someone right behind via. sontak via and Alex looked back.

"hahah, sorry yes, we chose the goods too long" said Alex.

"all right I'll go first before they realize I'm not there, see you!" Alex immediately covered his face with the hood he was wearing and left.

"i go in first Duke" said via politely and then boarded the waiting chariot.

Zack who was behind him saw an object that hooked in the hair via. he then followed via riding a horse.

"via... Where have you been? hooaamm.." asked Leo to hold back his sleepiness and open both his hands.

"sorry lord" said via then carrying Leo. he lun fell asleep, while Lea was in the arms of Stella.

The Duke sat down before them and gave the code to the coachman to leave.
