Reborn as the Tyrant's Son

Chapter 32

Chapter 32

"We should postpone our tour in your garden, Your Imperial Highness."

Loki blinked after he heard what Cherish told him.

Hindi siya makapaniwalang nawala ang chance niyang mapalapit sa babae! How will he make her side his and Hera now?!

Wait, he should calm down. Marami pa namang araw para magawa niya 'yon.

"Walking around while you're injured is bad." Cherish noticed Loki's dismay so she quickly added that. "You should get treatment later."

Loki nodded his head, unconsciously pouting cutely that made Cherish to stare at him for a while. She soon shook her head bago tumikhim nang mahina saka uminom sa tsaa niya, making sure na hindi mapunta ang tingin niya sa pinakabatang prinsipe.

On the other hand, Loki's already thinking about what he would do to befriend the lady in front of him. He's already scheduling some activities for their next playtime in his head.

After finishing their snacks, Loki and most of the maids with Iris, escorted Cherish out of his palace as their playtime and introductions are over. Sakto namang dumating si Sigyn with Cleopatra.

"Mama!" Loki beamed after he saw his mother, the Empress.

Sigyn only stared at him but she welcomed him when the little boy ran up to her, hugging her waist as he looked up to his mother with an excited expression.

"Greetings, Your Imperial Majesty." He smiled cheekily.

"Oh, my! What a lovely child you have, Your Imperial Majesty." Cleopatra smiled softly as she stared at the mother and son duo.

Loki was startled after he noticed na may kasama pala ang ina niya. He blushed in embarrassment, looking down at his shoes after he detached himself from the hug. Because of his action, he didn't notice the slight frown from Sigyn's lips.

"Allow me to introduce myself, Your Imperial Highness." Cleopatra knelt down in front of Loki, her hand on her chest as she slightly bowed her head. "This humble being is Cleopatra Ricarda Daivat, the Marchioness of the Daivat family and Cherish's mother. It's nice to finally meet you, my prince."

"O-oh!" Loki was shocked and flustered. "I'm Aileth Morana di Lokesio, the youngest son..."

He glanced at his mother who's staring at him, waiting for him to finish his whole introduction. He got nervous and flinched.

"I mean! The third imperial prince of the Aileth Empire. It's nice to meet you, Marchioness."

Loki sadly looked at his shoes again after that. He felt embarrassed for nearly calling himself the Empress' youngest son.

Well, totoo naman na siya ang bunso ng Empress but what if his mother doesn't want it? She looks like she was displeased when he glanced at her earlier.

Cleopatra noticed what Loki did kaya she glanced at the ruler of their empire. She bit her lower lips to avoid laughing after she noticed how hard Sigyn's gaze is, unlike her usual natural cold expression. It seems like she didn't like how Loki took his words back before he could even introduce himself as Sigyn's youngest son.

Cleopatra's gaze met her daughter's who glared at her after she noticed that her mother nearly let out a laugh as her mother stood up from kneeling because of the misunderstanding between the two members of the Imperial Family.

Cherish can only sigh at her mother's childishness.

"Hmm..." Inilibot ni Cleopatra ang tingin niya sa paligid after noticing that the only princess of their empire is not with them. "Where is Her Imperial Highness, the only princess?"

"She chose to be with her older brothers in the delegation I sent to the Oseniaz Kingdom." Sigyn blankly answered, still not in the mood because of Loki's action earlier.

"So, it's only the two of you kanina?" Cleopatra was shocked.

Based on what her twin brother told her, the Empress adores the youngest prince. She thought that the Empress would be really protective of Loki because of it but it seems like she's more laidback than she thought.

When her gaze landed on the mother of the four Imperial Siblings, she noticed the hardened and shocked look from her. Soon enough, anger filled her eyes but she remained calm and cold looking.

"Or not..." Cleopatra whispered, immediately taking back what she thought about Sigyn being laidback.

"Me and my daughter will leave now, Your Imperial Majesty." Mabilis niyang paalam para iligtas ang buhay ng sarili niyang anak from the Empress' anger.

"Prepare a carriage for them." Sigyn ordered Fred, who just got there, beside her.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fred guided the two ladies who greeted the two Imperial members goodbye bago sumunod sa lalaki.

As soon as they disappeared from their line of sight, the maids went back to their duties. Iris stayed behind Loki though. She's his nanny, after all.

"Why did Ate Hera choose to be with Kuyas instead of Loki?" Loki looked up at Sigyn who's coldly staring at him, her irritation at him vanishing quickly after their gazes met.

Sigyn blinked before carrying him.

Iris gasped because Sigyn's holding Loki by the back of his collar like a cat! Loki quietly dangled in the air, blinking in confusion and dizziness because of his position.

"Your Imperial Majesty!"

Iris snatched the youngest prince, carrying him like how an adult should carry a child. She protectively hugged him as Loki's arms tightly embraced Iris' neck, scared and shocked by what happened earlier.

Sigyn's gaze, once again, hardened after she saw how Loki hugged Iris' neck tightly like he didn't want to let go.

"What?" Hindi niya na-control ang boses niya kaya napalakas nang kunti.

"If you want to carry him, carry him right!" Iris scolded her. "He's not a cat, Your Majesty!"

"He isn't?" Sigyn was confused, pure confusion drawn in her face.

Both Iris and Loki looked at her with a shock expression written in their faces. Hindi sila makapaniwala sa narinig.

"Can I hold my own son." It wasn't a question nor asking for permission, it was a demand dressed as a request.

Iris stared at her bago niya hinayaang buhatin nito si Loki.

The youngest prince was hesitant to detach himself from Iris but immediately went to his mother when he noticed the displeasure forming on Sigyn's face after seeing his hesitance.

Sigyn wrapped her arm behind Loki's thighs as her other hand was placed on Loki's back para alalayan ito, just like how Iris held him. She soon stared at his face who already got comfortable in her arms almost immediately.

"He's not a cat...?" She can't believe it!

"Your Majesty!"
