Suddenly a Nanny!?
Eps. 32 Visits

"Do you seem to do this very often?" Said Via.

"How do you know?"

"Eum... Maybe because you're used to doing this..."

Zack drank his drink and fell silent while looking at the starless sky.

"Are you going to take the final exam?" Ask Zack.

"Emm.. sure Duke! What's up?" Said Via.

"It's okay.... There are no stars tonight..." Zack diverts the conversation. Via raised his head.

"Ah.. Right" said Via. After that conversation they just quietly drowned each other in their minds.

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

Early in the morning, Via had brought enough supplies to go to the eastern kingdom. Zack escorts Via to the front of the mansion. Via will ride the horse carriage that has been prepared.

"Thank you Duke for delivering me" said Via while bowing politely.

"...Yes." said Zack, his voice barely heard by Via.

"You... Be careful there.." he continued. Via who was already sitting on the chair looked at the master from the window and smiled.

"Okay Duke! I'll be right back!" Via. said the horse carriage slowly walked until it moved away from the mansion.

Huft... It still feels so sleepy because of last night.... Inner Via.

Last night they took quite a long time to enjoy the night with Zack's hot chocolate.

Via that is not tasty leaving Zack alone it must withstand drowsiness. Zack saw Via closing his eyes and then opening them quickly.

"You can go back first" said Zack.

"Ah... L am... Not sleepy... OHHMM! UH...!" Via evaporates instantly.

"Here you go, just looking at your face is already visible. You can be late tomorrow. Don't let Lea and Leo whine with you, your meeting with Prince Hans may be delayed..." Zack.

"Baa... Good Duke! Excuse me first..." Via said while leaving his own master there.

Via only fell asleep during the long journey. The horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of a large building.

"Hm? It seems to have arrived..." Mumbled Via while stretching his muscles. Then he came down from there and saw a palace that was no less magnificent than the western kingdom, king Claude.

Who would have thought Via who was not from the upper class nobles got a welcome from the owner of the kingdom. Who else if not Prince Hans himself.

"Gee... You're finally here!" Hans.

"Greet me to the prince from the east" said Via, bowing slightly.

"Then let's mas-"

SREK... TWOGH!

The voice was quite a distraction to Via and Hans. They looked for where it was coming from.

"Hey... So narrow! Huft... Finally got some fresh air..."

"Gee! You are the great! Yeay... We've arrived"

"Lea?! Leo!?" Pekik.

Via was surprised not to play seeing the twins with him now.

Means all this time the two of them were behind the carriage goods!? Oh my... How's the Duke doing now? Inner Via.

"Via!" Lea and Leo ran towards her happily. At the same time they saw Hans in front of them.

"Ah... Good morning prince!" Said Lea respectfully.

"Good morning, prince..." Followed by Leo.

"Ah.. Yes, it looks like Zack managed to educate his children" Hans said smiling at the twins.

"But... Via also educated us to behave politely prince..." Said Lea.

"Ah really? Does this woman mean she's really good for you?" ask Hans.

"Eum... Sure was! Via a very great woman!" Said Leo.

"Hm... I don't think I can take Via away like this..."

"What's!? You want to bring Via?! No. I can't!" Scream them both.

"Human... I have a need for a moment with him..."

"Sorry prince but Via has to!-"

"It's a pity that there's a lot of chocolate cake still warm inside... If only saj-"

"Brown?"

"We want to!"

"alright... Fugo takes these kids to the living room. I'll catch up!" Hans's Word.

Hans' personal bodyguard immediately executed the order from him. The three of them left Hans and Via.

Huft.... Why are they so fast when it comes to chocolate cake... Inner Via.

"Well then, since you're already here, wouldn't it be a pity not to go around?" Hans.

"Well prince with pleasure"

They both went to the palace.

Along the hallways in the palace there are many interiors that are very beautiful and make Via very captivated.

What he likes most is when he sees the kitchen belonging to the kingdom. He also studied there. But many of them rely on magic that Via is unable to use.

Next, when they approached Lea and Leo in the living room they met a married couple who had just come out of the library.

"Prince Hans..." Said the woman.

"Yes aunt! Have you finished looking for the book?" Hans.

"Yes already" The woman looked back at Via from head to toe.

"Who is this woman?" Said the man next to her.

"His name is Olivia, uncle. He's the one I talk about a lot..." Hans. Via was quite surprised to hear the statement from Hans. How can he often talk in this kingdom.

"Gee... I'm so glad to see you! My name is Janne Colantz and this is my husband, Alaric Colantz." Janne.

"They're my mother's family" Hans explained. Via who heard it nodded in understanding.

"My name is Olivia, you can call me Via! Nice to meet you sir Colantz and Madam Colantz..." Said Via politely.

After a short conversation, Hans and Via went to where Lea and Leo were. Upon arriving, Via sees the twins laughing with Fugo, Hans' personal bodyguard.

Fugo stood straight at the arrival of his master.

"Hows it? You guys happy here?" Hans asked while sitting on the sofa.

"Yes prince, here is quite pleasant. But our house is also very fun!" Said Lea.

Hearing that, Via felt that something was stirring in his heart.

"Ohh.... Geez!? Does Duke know you're here?" Said Via who started to panic.

"Don...." Lea and Leo looked at each other and were just looking at Via.

Huft... Surely Zack was surprised not to play his children could be with me all this time.... How'this? Inner Via.

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

After delivering Via to the front of the mansion, Zack immediately returned to the room continuing his work. It was early in the morning that he had not woken his children.

GECK...GECK... FLECKISH

"Duke, it's time Lady and Lord woke up. Should I wake up?" Dion.

"Hmmm... Yes" replied Zack briefly. Dion went straight to the twins' room not far from Zack's.

DUAGHS.... DUAGHS... DUAGHS...

From a distance Zack could hear heavy footsteps leading into his room.

FLECKISH

"DUKE!?" cry Dion.

Zack immediately stopped his activities.

"What's wrong?"

"They.... Lady and Lord.... Not in the room?!"

"What!?" Zack went straight to the twins' room. There's nobody there.

"Ck! Where are those kids? Dion quickly told people to look for them!" Zack.

"Baa... Good Duke!" Dion left Zack alone there.
