"Father, you could''ve just have gave them a budget and just let them do the cooking instead of making a representative come here which is a very hue inconvenience if I do say so myself. Wouldn''t you agree with me Nate."

    "Indeed. I do not see the point in making them come here when there is a very much efficient way to handle this."

    Father looked at us a blank stare before he pointed to the door.

    "Alright, I had it with the two of you. You are now requested to leave the perimeters of the Archea." He said faking his glare.

    I laughed and smiled at him before deciding to insult him once more.

    "Father, for a king, you do seem to fit with a clown role.."

    Nate couldn''t help it as he laughed aloud as father looked at the both of us i disbelief. I smiled nicely at him while batting my lashes. Father closed his eyes and turned around before walking towards his chair. I noticed as to how he glared at the protectors of the sea who was forcing themselves to not release a laugh and by doing so, they looked like they were pooping and was pushing so hard to release the thing. I sound so disgusting, eugh.

    I looked over to Nate who was wiping his eyes and was breathing hardly. Grabbing his hands, I dragged both of ourselves towards the table and sat near father who looked like a grumpy old troll. Much so in contrast to how he was when we first arrived.

    "Father stop acting like a kid, I was joking-"

    "Well your joke hurt me."

    "For sure, mhm." I stated sarcastically.

    "How can you be that mean? Your mother was not mean and I am not as well. Can you in the least act like you love me like I am the best dad in the whole world, please?" Father stated.

    "First of all father, mother said that I came from another man he was having an affair with and, you are not the best dad." This time, father looked hurt for real so the guilt feeling immediately struck me, thus I sighed and went near him.

    I hugged him from behind the chair and kissed his cheek. So feminine but what''s wrong with that right?

    "You are the best father in the world and for the record, mother told me that you were very mean when you were young which means, I''m the old version of you reliving this era." I said before smiling at him.

    "You know, I should feel bad at the half part of what you said but I feel so proud that you are just like me. Is that wrong?" Father then turned to the protectors of the sea who answered.

    "Oh, of course not."

    "Totally normal."

    "A profound feeling that is you are feeling, no need to feel guilty."

    They answered and it''s even more funny to see father being so oblivious when they were being sarcastic. I went back to my seat beside Nate and spoke to him.

    "He''s an idiot."

    "We know." We both snickered secretly as we don''t want to bully him further.

    "In commemoration of Alexander''s return, let us start this feast!" Father spoke. Everyone inside the palace were instructed to have a seat on the table and eat with us. Usually some King''s don''t do this but here, it has become a tradition to treat the people here inside the palace as family.

    We then started to eat and I must say that I have started to forget as to how food here at home taste. Ugh how I''ve missed the royal chef''s cooking which has been around since father was a kid. If he ever passes, let''s hope that that time is far from the present still, I don''t know who is going to replace him.

    We started to then get into the talking and after the mini feast if you may call it like that, is done, I went to my room inside the deep and royal chamber in the castle. When I came in, the room was tidy and was well maintained. I bet father wanted this to be the way that it was when I left it. I sat on the bed and remembered how I would wake up every time and see mom being beside me. Those were the days that I treasure the most along at the time when father would make sure to come and say goodnight to me alone every night.

    I stood up and went to the window pane, I saw the central city then and saw that many people were being at the central town in each of the district. Maybe because the food from here has arrived. There were flags and banners that signified my momentarily home coming.

    I heard the door opened and when I turned around, I saw father coming in with a gentle smile. I smiled at him back and went to sit with him on the side of my bed.

    "You know that I am sorry right?" I looked at father with confusion.

    "Oh, you know because I sent you there knowing that you have not gotten your powers but I just don''t want you to stay here inside these walls. There is a huge world out there and I don''t want you to miss that." Father spoke truthfully. I smiled at him and laid my head on his shoulder as his arm slung on my shoulder.

    "I did start to blame you at some point for sending me there but now, I think things are starting to make a turn for the better." I said with a smile.

    "Why do you say that?"

    "You''ll know tomorrow."

    I spoke. He looked at me with slight confusion but he the nodded and said okay.

    "How was your first day there? Made friends other than Nate?" Then I got to thinking if I should tell him what happen. Remembering that it''s only the two of us now, well three including Nate, I might as well tell him the truth. Because father first and foremost does not like and despises liars.

    "You can tell me Fin." I sighed and raised my head as I faced him directly.

    "Well now, I have made friends but being there the first day was not your typical first day of school. Very far from what you and mother told me when I go to the academia." Father looked trouble but I assured him with a smile.

    "I got bullied by Prince Hade and Kaval on the first day because they immediately knew my situation regarding me being powerless."

    "But how?"

    "The water was bland Prince Hade noticed and then informed the others. The only one that I became friends with the first day or did not have an issue with was Dianne." Actually, remembering it now, I did not thought that me and Kaval would be friends as he was just off the vibe check for me when we first met but then turned out that he was nice and I really did not know as to why he acted like a tptal asshole in the first place.

    "Don''t worry though, Kaval and I are in good terms now. As of Prince Hade, I do not know as to why he despises me. Although there are times when we do talk without wanting to cut each others throat open and when I feel like we''re starting to talk like civil people, he somehow finds a way to destroy the mood. I remember the first time that I literally had to leave the dinning hall in the academia and the worse case was that, it was my first day and it may seem that I have already made trouble and everyone else was there to witness it." I spoke.

    "Well then, I will make sure that I give that Hade a scolding when we meet."

    "Father, no. I don''t think he''s as bad at the first time I met him, well that if I forget about the fact that he wants to murder, well not murder but break my bones tomorrow in the clash." Father''s eyes then went dark and I sense his anger in the air so I held his hand again and said;

    "Father, do I look like the type of kid that gets punch in school? With or without power, I shall remain as the supreme heir among the batch." I said with a smug smile. Father''s mood then changed thankfully as he ruffled my hair.

    "Will you be there tomorrow? I have a surprise."

    "I won''t miss it for the world. If that Hade boy comes for you, I will put their fire off."

    "Father you can''t and even if you could, I won''t allow you. This is what I have to go through to learn things, you sent me to the academia, surely you know that it is not always sunshine there right?"
