Arion was tired from riding bike with Noel, so he only stopped for a quick greeting before making his way to the room.
In the hallway, he stretched his arms. 'I wanna hit the bed' he whispered softly.
Arion stopped and turned around for a moment before continuing to walk to his room, thinking about why his father called Akio over. With this thought, he opened his room door. Without wasting a single moment, he crashed onto his bed.
'Phew… so tired' he hugged the bed. Struggling to keep his eyes open, he slowly closed them.
The bright white ray of sunlight coming through the window slowly turned warm yellow as the sun started to set.
Arion rubbed his eyes with a long yawn. Stretching his body, he slowly sat up on his bed.
'I feel fresh.' Arion whispered in a soft voice. He got down from his bed.
He was still in his school uniform. His uniform was messy while some buttons were open.
'I should shower first!' he muttered.
Inside the bathroom, the warm water ran over Arion's skin. Arion lifted his head up as the water directly fell on his face.
'Akio Asara was it? I wonder what kind of person he is.' With that thought, he stepped out of the shower.
After wiping himself, he opened the wardrobe. There were many clothes inside, but he was confused about what to wear. He stared at the wardrobe.
'hmm...hm....hm... ah, this will be perfect.' Finally deciding what to wear, he took the outfit from the wardrobe and closed the door behind him.
In front of the mirror, looking at his reflection, he smiled. 'Wow… this looks perfect and cool.' He was wearing a long black t-shirt with sleeves that reached his elbows and black short pants.
Arion looked at the clock on the wall. 7:54. 'I should go, I'm hungry and I wonder if Akio is still here.'
He opened the door of his room. 'How did the marriage proposal go? I should ask brother Alex,' he muttered with a giggle.
In the hallway, Arion was going to the dining room, but stopped when he saw Yoran sitting on the sofa in the hall.
'I should give him a surprise,' he thought. With sneaky steps, he stopped behind Yoran, who was busy on his mobile phone.
'BOO!' Arion shouted in his ear.
Yoran's heart almost came out of his hands. His phone almost fell, but he somehow managed to grab it in the air, sweating as he looked behind. "D-Don't scare me like that, I almost died," he said, catching his breath.
'Hehe, sorry,' Arion replied with a playful grin, sitting beside Yoran.
'So why did you call Akio, dad?' Arion asked.
"Akio?" Yoran raised an eyebrow. "Oh! Akio Asara, you mean? You see it tomorrow," Yoran replied with a grin.
'Huh? What do you mean? Tell me now!' Arion leaned forward with curiosity.
"I told you, you will see him tomorrow." Yoran placed his finger on Arion's forehead and pushed him back.
'Like I said, I want to know now,' Arion moved Yoran's finger from his forehead.
The phone in Yoran's hand rang.
"I don't wanna," Yoran said, getting up to take the call.
Arion pouted with a hmph 'Like I want to know now,' he muttered.
'I should eat something,' he muttered as his stomach growled.
Arion stood up and made his way to the dining room, where servants were still making dishes. Arion looked at a woman who was making something with a smile on her face, and he decided to go there.
'What are you making?' Arion asked.
The woman flinched in surprise before turning back. "Uh, y-young master, I'm just making curry," she said, her voice shaking in surprise.
'Uh... sorry if I scared you. It's just you looked happy while making it,' Arion said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Yes! Her Highness really likes this curry, that's why I really enjoy making it," the servant replied, smiling as she added ingredients to the curry.
'Really? Seems like you really like mom,' Arion said, smiling.
"Yes. Since my delivery was on the same day as Her Highness, she understood and gave me time to be with my child and care for him until he was big enough. I'm truly grateful to her highness" the woman replied in a soft voice.
'Really? Then me and your son should be the same age! What is his name, aunty?' Arion asked.
The woman turned around, shaking her head. "Oh no, young master, please don't call me aunty. I'm just a servant."
'Please don't be like that,' Arion said politely.
"You're really kind, young master! My son's name is Akio!."
Arion's eyes widened in surprise as he heard. 'Huh!? Akio is your son!?' Arion asked in a loud voice. Even other servants were surprised.
"Y-Yeah, do you perhaps know him, young master?" she asked, confused.
'Ye—I mean no, nothing' Arion said before running from the kitchen without eating anything.
"Young master?" she whispered as she watched him run off.
Inside Arion's room.
He jumped onto his bed. 'Whoah, I can't believe it! But that means I can see Akio often, right?' He muttered and kicked the blanket like a little boy in love.
'I should wait for tomorrow morning! Yes, next morning,' he said with determination. But his stomach growled again.
'I should call mom to get me food to my room tonight,' he said, taking his phone.
The bird started to sing as Arion's alarm turned on. 'I'm already awake,' Arion shouted from the bathroom changing into his school uniform.
He came out of the bathroom and heard a knock on the door. 'Who is it?' he thought before opening the door.
Arion's eyes widened in surprise as Akio was standing at the door, wearing the same uniform as him.
'Akio?' Arion whispered in a low voice.
