After surviving Arthur's assassination attempts, I took a quick shower, dragging my smelly dragon with me. He cried in distress at the warm water drenching him but I didn't relent and soon after, we were both sparkling clean. 

"...Kyu" Azrael moaned, as he plopped down on my bed, exhausted from struggling. 

"Don't complain! Both of us were filthy and we didn't wash yesterday either."

"Now that you and Azrael showered, can you help me wash Sylvie?" Arthur asked with a sigh.

"Fine. I'll consider it payment for the illusion." I relented with a wink.

After washing Arthur's baby dragon and ignoring Arthur's grunts and complaints about my illusions, I hear a knock on our door, so I quickly walked over ignoring Arthur's shouts about making another illusion.

"Coming!" I said.

Opening the door, I looked down to spot a shy Eleanor, looking down, with her foot rubbing something on the ground. 

"Well hello there, Ellie." I squatted down so I was at eye level with her, giving her the most gentle smile I could muster. 

"G-g'morning Bruder. Mama told me to w-wake you up. " She muttered, her head still down. 

"Haha, I see! Thank you very much, little sister," I exclaimed while patting her head. This seemed to get a good response out of her as she started blushing a little. 

"Can you take me down to the kitchen?" I asked, holding out my hand. 

"En!" She nods excitedly and while she hesitated for a second, she grabbed my hand and pulled me along. 

Sylvie and Azrael followed behind us, trotting while taking a look around at their new surroundings. 

I'm met with a pleasant smell of bacon as we entered the kitchen. Inside, I spotted Tabitha and my mother cooking something as they chatted. Lilia was sitting down at the table already, her legs swinging, obviously waiting for breakfast. 

"Good morning Mom, Ma'am, Lilia!" I announced. 

"G'morning!" "Kyu!" Both Ellie and the baby dragons echo. 

"Ah! Cathan, come eat breakfast with us! I remember having the hardest time waking Art up even when you two were babies. I swear he slept like a log."My mother chuckled as she placed some eggs into a large plate. 

"Did you sleep well?" Smiled Tabitha as she tossed the bowl of salad she had in her hands. 

"I slept great, Mrs.Helstea."

"Hi, Ellie! G-good morning Cathan." Lilia softly said as her voice trailed off after meeting my gaze. 

I smiled and return the greeting.

The breakfast was great. Mother mentioned that usually the maids are the ones to cook but she wanted to cook today for us. It had been too long since I had mother's cooking and I now realized how dearly I had missed it. I made sure to give some of the meat to Azrael and Sylvie who didn't hesitate to gobble whatever entered their mouths, including my finger. 

Eventually, I had to use wind magic to feed them as they kept biting my finger, as Arthur walked in Ellie and Lilia both wanted to try feeding the dragons so I told them to go ahead. Needless to say, the baby dragons warmed up to both of them a bit more after being fed by them.

Arthur made sure to glare angrily at me when I used illusions to trick both Azrael and Sylvie so they would leave my food alone, I swear those two could an entire elephant by themselves, thank god Miras taught me how to create illusions.
