Song wanted to say something soothing to help the little glutton’s mood, but after opening her mouth, her voice wouldn’t come out.
Two years…
The queen’s been gone for a full two years.
If I start lying just to make them feel better then I am only adding salt to the wound. They will eventually find out and be even sadder.
“By the way Sister Song, Father and Mother have been out playing for so long, why haven’t they come back?” Jin Tian hung his head down pitifully, “Is it because Mother thinks I am too greedy when eating and hates me? But Ling Yan is so well behaved, why doesn’t Mother and Father come back to see her? My sister is crying everyday. It’s making me sad too….”
Song’s soul quivered in pain as well after hearing those words. She came from a family that didn’t have parents, only a grandfather, so she could fully relate to the loneliness of not having family members around when you need them.
Wiping some of his tears that are almost leaking: “If Father and Big Brother can come back, I will never be greedy again when I eat again. I will be good, and…. Sister Song, you see these osmanthus cake? I made it myself. I originally wanted to let Ling Yan have them so she wouldn’t be sad, but she won’t even try them….”
Looking at the poor little appearance of the little prince, Song who’s only a few years older squatted down and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe that snotty face.
“Princess is only acting this way because she misses the king and queen a lot. Her mood is really bad right now so let’s leave her alone for now, okay? Her Highness will get better with time.”
That only made the little glutton more depressed: “Actually… I also miss Father and Mother. I used to think the most important thing in my heart is the food of this world. But after they left home, it’s only then did I realize they were the most important. If Father and Mother comes back, I… I am willing to do anything, really, I can make myself smarter if that’s what they want.”
Towards those sensible words, Song who had always kept her distance from the prince suddenly found herself feeling a sort of kinship for him. It’s not like she wants to be lying to the little glutton, but Suzaku has exhausted all means in the past two years and still couldn’t locate their whereabouts.
“Your Highness, you are plenty smart enough already…” Song faintly smiled and said in a kinder voice instead of a formal tone.
“Really?” Jin Tian beams with light in those big eyes of his, but then dims again as the light fades. “But Ling Yan is always looking troubled by her thoughts. Not to mention I am too greedy about food. I know Mother doesn’t like it when I’m like that. I can change, I can change all my shortcomings.”
As long as Father and Mother comes back, I am willing to change everything about myself.
With that thought in mind, the prince then looked down to the osmanthus cake on the ground.
I really want to take a bite…
No! No, I must correct this problem of mine, otherwise they will not come back!
Song could tell how much the prince was struggling and spoke: “You haven’t eaten yet today, I’ll go and prepare some food for you.”
“No, I don’t want to eat.” Jin Tian hurriedly stopped the girl despite the great urge to eat.
Poof!
Who knew that as soon as he said that, the boy that was the little glutton had reverted back into his silvery fox form. He’s lying on the ground in resignation due to hunger.
