The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Wandering Dream #15

Caitlyn finished treating the eagle's right wing, and tied a red bandage to the bird's wing to stay in position, not moving too much or shifting. Not only covered her with bandages, the woman also applied a medicine to the blisters on the right wing of the white eagle. After being treated, Altezza again carried him slowly, and moved him into a bird cage that was large enough and spacious in the corner of the park.

The eagle, which is quite large, can be seen standing on a branch in a cage. His condition was better after receiving treatment from Caitlyn, able to stand up again even with the right wing tied and unable to move. But that bond didn't hurt him.

"Don't forget to feed and drink, pity if you don't, right?" said Caitlyn, standing next to her son who looks fun looking at the eagle he just found.

"Oh yes!" sahut Altezza, then immediately left the park. The man looked very excited and enthusiastic, as if his attention was currently completely taken over by the white-colored eagle he had just brought.

Caitlyn just smiled looking at her youngest son who looks enthusiastic to take care of the very rare bird. He then looked at the white eagle for a number of times, and found the attitude of the animal was quite different from the usual eagle. The giant fowl was seen several times bowing its head before Caitlyn, even making a light sound several times.

Shortly afterwards the man in the prince's formal uniform returned with two small buckets, one filled with small fresh fish, another clear and clean water for the fowl to drink. Slowly he opened the cage, and then began to give the small fish as his new pet food.

Altezza looks quite painstaking in feeding the animal. Caitlyn only smiles when she sees her son engrossed in his new pet, and patiently waits until the man is completely done with his activities. When it was completely finished, Altezza returned to the early gazebo along with his mother.

"Mommy's still free, isn't she? I want to talk something" said Altezza, then sat down with his mother.

"Of course, what do you want to talk about? Mother will always be willing to listen to him" replied Caitlyn, smiling warmly to her son.

Altezza was silent for a moment, was stringing words in his mind, and thinking where he would speak from. The second prince looked worried, and was a little disappointed at something.

"Can a prince like me pursue his dreams or ideals?" tanya Altezza, seemed worried by the question.

Caitlyn smiled at her son's question, "everyone has the right to pursue what he dreams of, and what he dreams of. Including yourself."

"If I had it, would you support me to achieve what I want?" sahut Altezza, again asked with a serious look direct eye contact with his mother in front of him.

"As long as it's good and not off the mark, surely a mother will always support her son." Caitlyn replied with her graceful face that seemed meek, her smile did not fade, especially when it came to looking at the handsome face of her youngest son.

Hearing this certainly makes Altezza's heart a little more calm and happy, but anxiety is still visible through his movements that tend to be silent with a downward look. Caitlyn must have realized this and asked, "what do you dream of? I have to ask like that."

"If you really knew your son, you should have known what my dreams and desires were." Altezza answered the question, briefly staring at his mother sitting right in front of him, before turning back to the trees on the edge of the park.

Caitlyn smiled gently at the question, and as if she was testing herself as a mother. He slowly stood up from his seat, and marched away, sitting back right next to the Altezza as he spoke, "if mother is not wrong, when you were a child, he said, you had said that you have aspirations or dreams to be a wanderer, that's about .. 13 years ago, exactly when you were five years old."

"Is mother's guess right? Or just wrong, huh?" caitlyn continued, asking to confirm the answer to her youngest son.

Altezza smiled to himself when he heard the answer from his loved ones, then turned his head, looked at his mother and replied, "right, really." He slowly leaned his head into Caitlyn's arms and said, "mother is not wrong."

Caitlyn smiled warmly as she rubbed her son's head so gently, as if hugging and pampering little Altezza. When he did this, he asked, "then what makes you nervous? You know how to be a wanderer, don't you?"

Altezza took off his arms, nodded, and replied, "know, just come to the adventurer guild, and register and register there."

"I'm thinking about my responsibilities here, besides that .. There will definitely be a conflict between me and my father. I know for myself, I even want to arrange myself in search of a life partner, it's certain that he won't allow me to be a wanderer." Altezza spoke without further ado, directly to the core of what he wanted to talk about, and looked as if he was pouring out his heart to his beloved mother.

Caitlyn chuckled little hearing what her beloved son said, "what are you saying? Why do you think you're that kind of person?"

"Of course I have that thought, let alone father is a man who obeys rules and obligations" said Altezza, with intonation as if he was complaining.

"He was like that, but your father was the one who saw through determination and intention. If indeed you are determined and really intend to become a traveler, then show them in front of him, and explain your reasons, and why do you want to be a wanderer so much" said Caitlyn, looking meek as ever, especially when talking to her son.

"Especially considering you are the second prince, and not the heir to the throne. So the opportunity to be a traveler as you dream is still open" Caitlyn continued.

"Determination and reason, yes ...?" muttered Altezza, looking to think. But there was something else he wanted to ask, "then what about my responsibilities as a second prince? I know for myself I also have important duties in the palace, often become an envoy as well as a field command, handling important royal documents, and there are many more," he said.

"On that .. let the mother arrange it," replied Caitlyn, then smiled sweetly to her son.

Despite having talked a few things and expressed his heart to his beloved mother. Altezza's facial expression was still agitated, unable to be so calm, especially when thinking about the decision he would take to pursue his ideals. Caitlyn again realized this, she unceasingly smiled as she looked at her son.

"Is there anything strange about me?" altezza asked, realizing the gaze of his mother who had not been able to escape from him.

"No, I just feel, when I look at you, you're looking at yourself as a teenager." Caitlyn casually answered that question.

Altezza stared and slightly tilted his head, puzzled, "do you mean? Didn't he say I look like you?"

Caitlyn chuckled and replied, "indeed, physically and at first glance you look like your father Aiden, very similar. But ... Different from your father and your brother Welt, there are some traits that exist in you and those traits are similar to those that you have. I'm pretty sure of that."

"What kind of nature is that?" altezza asked, looking curious.

With a smile that refused to fade Caitlyn replied, "it is difficult to obey the rules, not so much like with many rules that curb, as well as love with freedom, not so much, and being interested in things that are not yet known or rather often feel curious."

Caitlyn then turned her gaze toward the clear blue sky this afternoon and resumed her speech, "even ... first, I had the same dreams and ideals as you, which is to want to be a wanderer, and travel to places very far."

"Really?!" sahut Altezza, looks very enthusiastic when he heard what his mother said, "then did the mother have time to make it happen? Travel to those places?" he continued to ask directly.

Caitlyn shook her head but still with her sweet smile, "no, because mom was already in love with your dad, and then she suddenly proposed to me."

Altezza immediately snorted in annoyance when he heard this, "no! Father thwarted the dreams and ideals of mother," he said.

Caitlyn just laughed hearing and seeing the annoyed expression. He then landed his delicate palm right on Altezza's head, rubbing it gently as he said, "if mom hadn't married your father, there wouldn't have been you here, dong ...?"

"Oh, yeah, yeah ...? Hehe," said Altezza, then followed by giggling after realizing it. Similarly, Caitlyn who saw her son's expression slowly turned cheerful, fading the restless and uneasy feeling that from earlier enveloped his handsome face.
