       "Hello! little guy, can i also call you little Raine?" Roselia asked Ashraine enthusiastically.

  "Oh hello too! and of course you can! um...uh.." Ashraine answered politely but he suddenly realized he did'nt know what to call her.

   Well, who can blame him? all he heard was he was Azral's mother and the current Queen dowager but they never told him how to address them properly. Sure, he previously acted on many historical dramas and movies back on Earth but almost all of them were either Asian histories and fantasy royals and such, he never really knew the right way to greet royalties when it comes in western etiquet and his knowledge about these topics are particularly very limited.

  Roselia saw his dilemma, she was about to tell him to just call her by her name when she suddenly taught of an idea, her eyes beamed very brightly as she blurted out the words..

  "Well, how about calling me grandma and call my son Daddy, little Raine?"

   Ashraine was stilled at her words and so was Azral.

   ....

   ....Eh?

   "EEEhhhh!!!??" They both exclaimed.

  Chapter 10

    Both were very flabbergasted at her words, not to mention the two of them, even the usually calm Jill and the servants in the room were all shocked speechless when they heard this.

    Azral couldn't help but to twitch his mouth as he realized what his mother was on about. Although he really liked what his mother was suggesting and it was indeed a very efficient and convenient way to protect the little cub but—

    "Umm... pardon me your...um..your majesty, m-may i ask what do you mean by those words?" after a while of silence Ashraine suddenly asked. He seemed to have been very confused at the situation.

    Azral was awakened from his thoughts when he heard little Raine speak, then he gazed to his mother who seemed to have sobered up a little from her excitement and seems to have just realized what she just said.

     "Oh...um..ehehehe..that? well..n-never mind what i've just said just now little Raine, it's just one of my nonsense talk acting up again, i guess? heh..hehehe." Roselia answered while laughing awkwardly, trying to keep herself look composed as much as possible as she eyed Azral.

    Azral who noticed his mother's gaze which was directed at him immediately understood what she wants him to do, he then looked at little Raine and started to talk, hoping to distract the little one's attention from the previous topic.

   "A-Anyway little Raine, why don't you sit first and eat, the dishes are all already served, they're all specialties from different countries made by the royal chefs. I don't know which foods you like so i asked them to add a little bit more. Dig in before it gets cold."

     Fortunately, Ashraine's attention was successfully diverted at the table full of various delicacies which all looked very delicious. There are also some dishes which looked exactly the same in western countries back on Earth. Back then, everytime he got to shoot some movies abroad, he always makes sure to try some of their local dishes whenever he can before his work ends.

     As a matter of fact, he was a foodie. A major foodie if one must know.

   His agent, which was the only one who knew this one and only flaw of his (A/N: *sneers at the words*) has always been nagging at him about this and that, saying that it's bad for his health to eat too much and it can also greatly ruin his image if ever he was seen eating like a pig by a fan or even worse captured by some papa razzies and such.

          

    If he were to choose between him ruining his image because of this or continue to eat....he.... well he'l probably choose the former rather than the latter if it means he could eat delicious foods whenever he wants.

   But fortunately he can still at least control his eating capacity to a certain level whenever he gets to eat outdoors and it's also fortunate enough that he couldn't get fat no matter how much he eats or else he would definitely get an earful of nagging and scolding from his agent everyday and he also doesn't need to do any more excercises like the other artists as his figure was always well maintained no matter what he eats and do.

    At the very least he was quite thankful at this body constitution of his although he was quite confused on why is this so. Being a mer person doesn't necessarily means that they can't get fat no matter what and how much they ate, so far he hasn't met any of the mer race with the same situation as him back on Earth. Perhaps maybe he's an exception?

    Unknowingly his mind began to wander off somewhere else without him noticing. Azral and Roselia, who was watching him from the side both heaved a sigh of relief at seeing that the little cub was successfully diverted off the topic from earlier.

    Butler Jill who stood still as he watched how the three peoples interact, let out an audible cough which caught the trio's attention. At the same time, all the people in the room heard another sound which was this time now coming from the youngest person among them.

  Groowlll--

    A hungry stomach seems to be wanting to make it's existence known to it's owner as it continues to make noise, letting everyone hear it's pitiful pleas to be filled with foods.

   Ashraine's face, who just snapped back from his reminiscing thoughts by butler Jill's slight cough noise, was now blushing red in shame as he covered his wailing stomach, at the hope to minimize the noise which was stubbornly persistent as much as possible but to no avail.

   Azral who saw all this, chuckled at how cute little Raine's actions was, then he walked towards the blushing little cub, picked him up and sat him at the chair beside his. His actions was all done in a quick and swift motion that Ashraine has no chance to react before he realized what had just happened.

   Roselia, on the other hand, was now picking and placing various kinds of dishes at little Raine's plate which now seemed to have formed a small hill and might soon become a mountain, fortunately, old butler Jill stopped her in time before it does become one.

    However, Roselia seemed to be adamant on refusing to lessen the foods on Ashraine's plate as she seemed to really want to fatten little Raine up as she was became worried after seeing that he was too thin and short for an almost 8 year old kid. Although they only just knew each other for not even half an hour, she already knew that the kid was by no means harmful to them as she sensed no malice nor hatred coming from the cub and she can see that what the latter was showing was his true and genuine nature. Added to the fact that Little Raine was just too unbelievably cute even with the lack of nutrition, makes her like and care for him more than she does when Azral was just a toddler.

    Jill, on the other hand, although he too wanted to take good care of little Raine like the Queen Dowager does, but as he looked at little Raine's plate that was overfilled with various kinds of dishes that might even take at least two or three people to finish....... he couldn't help but start to worry about the child's well being, considering that even his highness has also suffered from her highness's 'unique' way of caring in his childhood years.

   Azral who also thought the same as Jill, laughed nervously when he remembered the ordeals he had to go through as a child and looked at the little one who was now drooling at the sight of the various delicacies and seemed to have already forgotten his shameful action just a moment ago, and his rumbling stomach, which was the cause of it, was now making even more noise at the scent of delicious foods.
