"Brother Manus!" Leonia called out with a big smile present on her face as she ran towards the knight.
The knight known as Manus smiled as he turned to look at Leonia while holding Amadeus in his arms.
Manus then turned and gave Amadeus to the maid beside him as he then kneeled down.
"You'll die if you trip while running." Manus stated worriedly as he caught Leonia who jumped on him.
"That's not enough to kill me!" Leonia exclaimed as she looked up at Manus.
"No, but it will kill us." Manus stated.
"But hey..." Leonia spoke up as she moved backwards.
Manus let out a "huh" as he waited for what Leonia is gonna say next.
"Can I touch your leg muscles?" Leonia asked as her eyes shined "innocently" and sparkles are seen surrounding her.
"No." Manus immediately answered bluntly.
"You used to create waves with your chest muscles." Leonia stated.
"That's why I said no." Manus said bluntly with a smile that did not reach his eyes as he raised his hand in a stop motion.
"I'm really grateful that you and Madam like my muscles, Milady...But I was eliminated from your's and your mother's order of guardian knights because of my muscles as well..." Manus explained.
"There's nothing wrong with having muscles! It's my father's fault!!" Leonia argued.
"It's the Chief's order. You'll become a pervert just like your mother if I let you touch my muscles so easily. He also told me not to listen to you whine" Manus pointed out.
"I'M ALREADY A PERVERT FOR MUSCLES!" Leonia shouted out.
'...Chief...' Manus thought as his smile twitched and he sweat dropped as an image of Duke Phileo sighing appeared in his mind.
"Please think in another way, Milady. If I like your's and your brother's soft cheeks and I want to touch them. Will you let me do it gladly." Manus questioned as he held Leonia's hand and carried Amadeus in his other arm as they walked towards a bench.
"If that's the case, I'll tell my father?" Leonia responded.
"And I'll tell him to bite you with his fangs. You're not a pervert..." Leonia continued as Manus face twitched at what Leonia said.
"That's the point! If you really love my muscles, you'll have to hold it in on a certain level!" Manus stated.
"You'll be mistaken for a pervert if you like muscles..." Manus exclaimed with gritted teeth as imaginary tears ran down his cheeks.
~Manus: TMI
He was dumped by his girlfriend not too long ago because of a muscle pervert.~
"But I'm still a kid!" Leonia exclaimed happily with sparkles surrounding her.
Manus jumped in shock as he held Amadeus tightly in his arms so he doesn't fall.
Manus then put Amadeus on the other side of the bench.
"Milady, are you..that insidious." Manus stated as cold sweat ran down his face while staring at Leonia in shock who right now has devil horns and a devil tail appearing on her as she smirked evilly at Manus.
"I think I've been showing it less." Leonia stated.
"Less...?" Manus questioned with sweat running down his face.
"AND THE LOWER PART!!!" Leonia shouted.
'Such...' Manus thought with a blank smile on his face.
"But I miss my father so does, Amadeus and mom." Leonia exclaimed as she rested her chin on her hand with a bored look on her face.
Manus stared at Leonia before glancing at Amadeus who was reaching out for a flower as he leaned half his body on the railing.
Manus immediately held Amadeus and sat him down back on the bench.
"Is he that busy?" Leonia asked Manus who was plucking a flower that has no thorns before handing it to Amadeus.
"Mm...Shouldn't he be here by now?" Manus questioned as he stood back up with his hands behind his back.
"Father..." Leonia mumbled with a depressing look present on her face.
Foot steps are then heard.
"What's wrong." A familiar voice called out which gained both Amadeus and Leonia's attention as they glanced towards the familiar voice.
And there stood Duke Phileo holding 2 teddy bears each representing a certain child as he walked towards both his children.
Leonia's eyes shined as she stared up at Duke Phileo with lips parted and wide eyes.
Amadeus glanced up at his father with a flower in his hand as he blinked.
Duke Phileo stared at his children before he noticed something.
"I told you to wear a coat and make sure your brother also wears a coat when you both go out. Isn't it you who suffers when you catch a cold? And think about your brother he is younger than you." Duke Phileo stated as he walks towards his children who are just blankly staring at him as Manus bows to him.
"Here." Duke Phileo simply said as he first handed a blue teddy bear with jewel magenta eyes towards Amadeus who took it with sparkles in his eyes.
Duke Phileo then handed Leonia a black teddy bear with jewel black eyes as Leonia blankly stared at the teddy bear that represents her.
"I was late because I had to make this for you and your brother. I also took time to get stuff for your mother as well." Duke Phileo explained as he held the teddy bear out for Leonia to take it.
Leonia stared at the teddy bear that was in front of her.
"You both will love it." Duke Phileo stated as he put Leonia's teddy bear beside her before he sat in the middle between both his children.
Leonia took the teddy bear and caressed it's face.
Duke Phileo turned to look at his son who was also caressing the teddy bear's face before he glanced at Leonia.
A tear drop was seen dripping on the teddy bear's jewel black eyes as it started to slowly slip down it's face.
Duke Phileo's eyes widen as he noticed the tear drop dripping on the teddy bear before he raised his head anxiously.
There Leonia sat with an irk mark on her temple and big fat tears dripping down her face as she glared furiously at her father with flames behind her representing how furious she was.
Both Duke Phileo and Manus flinched back as cold sweat slowly runs down their face.
Soon, a loud cry was heard.
"AAAAAAAA" Leonia cried out angrily which made Duke Phileo sweat drop more.
The cry also made Amadeus flinch and fall off the bench, which thankfully Manus immediately caught him him and let out a sigh of relief, before he carries him and turns around as Amadeus held his Teddy bear in his left arm and the flower in his right hand while blinking and processing at what happened.
"YOU'RE A FOOL!!! SUCH A FOOL!!!" Leonia shouted as she hit her father's chest which made Duke Phileo shocked.
"ME, MOM, AND AMADEUS MISSED YOU SO MUCH! I TOLD YOU THAT I WAS SCARED!!!" Leonia continued with tears running down her face as she looks up at her father.
"Leo..." Duke Phileo called out softly with a sweat dripping down his cheek.
☆☆☆
I suddenly remembered the horror that I had long forgotten about when I woke up in the carriage.
It was like a nightmare, I woke up in a strange world, in a child's body.
Thankfully, mom came and saved me, but yet there was something in me that made me scared...
☆☆☆
"DON'T LEAVE ME, MOM AND AMADEUS HERE! PLEASE DON'T GO BY YOURSELF!!" Leonia yelled out with tears still running down her cheeks.
Duke Phileo pulled Leonia into his arms and hugged her as the sun shined down on them.
"I don't to see you like this..." Leonia said as she pulled away with flushed eyes and tears still dripping down her face.
But, before Leonia can finish her words her eyes widen.
There, Duke Phileo stood frozen with eyes widen and lips parted as sweat drips down his cheek.
Leonia simply stared at her father's expression.
"Father. Please apologize." Leonia stated sternly with tears still dripping down her cheeks.
"......I'm sorry." Duke Phileo said uncertainly.
Duke Phileo let out a sigh.
"I apologize." Duke Phileo said more sincerely as he cupped his daughter's face and looked down at her with a soft look.
Duke Phileo took out a tissue which Leonia immediately took it and wipe her tears away.
Duke Phileo then glanced behind him and there he saw Manus and Amadeus in their own world smiling happily.
Duke Phileo's eyebrow twitched as a gloomy aura surrounded him which Manus could feel as he shakily turned his head and saw Duke Phileo glaring at him.
Manus let out a sheepish smile as he full turned around and placed Amadeus on the bench before standing straight and tall.
Amadeus blinked as he stared at Manus before glancing at his dad who raised an eyebrow at him.
"No hugs?" Duke Phileo questioned with a gloomy aura still surrounding him.
Amadeus blankly stared at his dad before he placed down his teddy bear and flower and crawled over to his dad which made Duke Phileo smile and grab him.
Duke Phileo hugged his son as Amadeus stared to wrap his arm around his dad's neck, but then something happened. Amadeus pulled his father's hair which made everyone shock.
Amadeus didn't care of anyone as he pulled his father's hair more forcefully which made Duke Phileo dazed before he came back and immediately grab his son's hand that was tugging his hair.
Duke Phileo pulled Amadeus away from him and stared at his son who was blinking innocently.
"Are you mad at me? Where did you learn to pull hair from??" Duke Phileo questioned his son but before he could question more Amadeus slapped him.
Duke Phileo was still processing what just happened as a tick mark appeared on his temple and his eyebrow twitched.
A loud cry was then heard coming from Amadeus as he stared to slap his father which made Duke Phileo snap out of it.
Leonia stared blankly at her father and younger brother as she blew her nose. While Manus is seen on the other side of the bench slouching over with a hand over his mouth as his shoulders shook.
"I really need to find out where you got this side." Duke Phileo stated with his mouth twitching as he held his son's hand so he stops hitting him.
Phileo then grabbed another tissue and wiped his son's tears away as he let out a sigh.
☆☆☆
Leonia and Amadeus are seen with red eyes and a runny nose while holding their teddy bear.
".....How embarrassing..." Leonia commented.
Duke Phileo blankly stared at his children while holding two wet tissues.
Duke Phileo then threw them in the air as a fire burnt them.
"Why did you burn it!?" Leonia questioned her father.
"It's dirty." Duke Phileo simply responded back as the tissues are slowly getting engulfed by the fire.
