The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Warm Talk #33

"Sorry, I made you wait a long time, huh?" Caitlyn came with a waitress who appeared to be carrying a tray, on top of which were two cups of warm tea and a plate containing small cakes and still warm.

The waiter served both cups and a plate of the cakes on a ceramic table right in front of Altezza and Bianca. When he finished, the waiter smiled, lowered his head in a sign of respect and then walked away from there.

"What have you missed? You guys look at it from a distance so engrossed in conversation," said Caitlyn, sitting right across the street from the couple.

"Many things, but not important, take it easy." Altezza immediately answered the question, and then continued to say, "your own mother is done with her activities?"

Caitlyn smiled warmly replied, "already!"

Caitlyn's gaze and attention then immediately directed to Bianca who was seen sitting sweet listening to the conversation of the mother and child. Bianca very rarely speaks, the girl does not speak if not spoken to first by the interlocutor.

"Bianca, can I ask you a few things?" caitlyn asked, looking at Bianca's sweet figure with a gentle and friendly look.

"Sure, Your Majesty." Bianca answered the question, lowered her head, and smiled warmly.

"It doesn't have to always be formal like that, baby. If you are not wearing formal clothes, then just call 'mother' the same as Altezza," said Caitlyn, speaking with a very gentle intonation, even as if she considers Bianca is her own daughter.

"Ba-well, which-I mean .. mother," said Bianca, looking at Caitlyn and looking quite happy about it, although she would be very difficult to get used to.

Caitlyn again smiled warmly, looking at the woman before her with a soft and deep gaze. Both eyes were pitch-black and had a beautiful impression of it staring at Bianca, not letting go in the other direction.

"Bianca, do you have a dress to wear tomorrow?" caitlyn asked with her usual intonation, meek as when she talked to her youngest son.

The question made Bianca pause for a moment, looking confused and afraid to speak. The expression certainly invited the attention of Altezza, as well as Caitlyn who previously threw questions.

With a downcast look Bianca answered the two questions by saying, "I don't have such dresses, Your Majesty. I'm sorry," he said with a very low intonation.

Caitlyn gave a warm smile seeing the woman lower her gaze, and then apologized about it. "There is no need to apologize, Bianca," said the woman meekly.

"It's just that I want to make sure, because I want you to wear the dress that I've prepared tomorrow" Caitlyn continued.

Bianca raised her gaze again, then looked confused and surprised at what Caitlyn said, "sorry, Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Mother wants you to just come to the palace tomorrow without having to bring anything, just prepare yourself. For dresses and makeup, everything is Altezza and I prepare." Caitlyn immediately explained it a little slowly like a mother.

Hearing this, Bianca lowered her head and said, "thank you, Your Majesty. Forgive me for being so troublesome."

Caitlyn let out a small laugh, grabbed one of Bianca's blushing cheeks with one of her delicate palms, thus making the girl's gaze re-raise, and then herself spoke, "you're not a problem at all, honey. Honestly, I like you very much" she said with a very gentle tone, and her sweet smile was accompanied by her deep gaze staring at Bianca. The soft words immediately made Bianca silent and stunned. His heart seemed to melt and tremble, liking Caitlyn's treatment of him, reminding her of someone she loved so much.

"Sorry, mother was carried away," Caitlyn again removed her hand from Bianca's delicate cheek, and smiled happily at Bianca.

In the midst of the awkward atmosphere, Altezza interrupted the conversation by saying, "again, I'm the one who invited you, Bianca. So take it easy, I'll take responsibility for all your comforts in the palace, especially the clothes you'll wear tomorrow throughout the party" the man said, then sip slowly on her cup of warm tea.

Bianca smiled happily at what was being said, but her heart still felt bad for being troublesome, "thank you very much, Your Majesty," he said, smiling at Altezza.

Altezza just smiled to see the woman with him also look happy. The discussion of the three of them continued, discussing many things, and all the things discussed were things that were not too heavy or important, just a casual conversation.

Bianca also looks relaxed and happy when she can talk to the two important people. The girl felt her presence was very warmly received by Altezza and Caitlyn, even making her forget for a moment with the past trauma she had towards the noble family, she said, and managed to change his thinking that not all nobles are evil.
