👑Crown Prince👑

(9) First Family Gatherings

"what!?" He yelled absurdly.nThere's no way! this is how he and rain would met not for the first time but as phayu's fiance.

"But the king and queen request you to attend the gathering" Aon said, he was just doing what mr.ostel said to him. He even got the formal attire phayu will wear. "Tell your royal highness, I can't" phayu can't even think of any reasonable for him to not to attend, but he also don't want to decline the king and queen's invitation."Tell the king and queen I will try"

Everyone are present inside the long table of the dinning area, none of them was absent even the sibling's or their cousins.

"I can't wait to meet, varain " princess flare exclaimed. Princess flare Nuttarat Tangwai, the second oldest child.

"Mom, tell me who brother looked the most?" Foil Nuttarat Tangwai, the third son asked in curiousity.

A proud looking smile was form on the queen's lips "me, of course"

"So as his personality?" Sai Nuttarat Tangwai, the fourth daughter and fraternal twin of foil.

"Mhm. Your brother almost got what your mother could have"

"is that a tease or compliment?" the queen though, she frown his eyebrow at her husband.

"What? Don't you want to looked like our son?" Well, it's a yes from the queen. But after they have the others, they mostly get everything from her husband. So you if asked the queen, rain is mostly likely to be her twin. "I do. But after having the rest they never get anything from me" queen pouted and sulk like a baby who's close to cry. That cause all of them giggle and chuckle because of the queen's behavior.

"Hey, val. Don't you felt excited to meet our brother?" They turned their gaze to their youngest brother, val.

"Nope, I already meet brother" his siblings run and surrounds him.

"When? How?"

"Last week, but I haven't introduce myself as his brother" he replied.

"Dude, you sucks" sai slapped foil's mouth. "Aw!"

"Watch your words!" She scolded him. "But that's not even a cursed word!" He complained.

"Foil and sai stop fighting, your brother will be here any minute so you better behave" their father says.

The big door opened assumed it was their brother they waited but that person was their brother's butler, sky. "Your royal highness" he bowed.

"The prince unfortunately can't attend the gathering due to a certain reason" he says.

"Explain"

"The prince caught a mild fever" he told. "I am afraid prince phayu also couldn't" he added. "Okay, thanks for information us" sky bowed as a respect before leaving closing the big door behind.

"How sad.." the queen sight. She missed her son even tho they live in the same house, she hasn't meet him this days.

"Can't I just visit brother to his chambers?" Asked flare. "No, she can't" her father says. "You may get infected" her mother commented. "But fever can't be infected only coughs and cold are" she insist. "No is a no. flare. You can meet your brother next time. Go and dig in"

Nuttarat Tangwai family starts to dig in and ate the food the maids prepared for the supposedly family gathering, yet the Reason of this gathering can't even attend due to his sickness.

But do the prince rain really caught a fever?

The prince is on his way to the bathroom when he rush going Infront of sky and that startle him. "Your royal highness... You.."

Rain locked both sky's hand with his "please let me skip attending the gathering" sky didn't know how to response on what he said. "W.why?"

"I don't! I... I..." Once again gin, it flashes through rain's thought (what he thinks earlier).
"But your royal highness that's... That's not a proper reason to skip the gathering" he says.

"Please, please, pretty please?"

That's when sky agrees on rain's unreasonable reason.

"How funny right?" He told phayu.

"Hey! Don't laugh, Phi!"

"Sorry, I can't just imagine how your butler agrees on that" a tear of joy was left on the corner of his eyes.

"Does my reason isn't reasonable at all?" He asked and phayu nodded almost Burst laughing again.

"It's not just me who didn't attend. My fiance also didn't " the word 'fiance' came from rain's mouth is music to phayu's ear, if only he can hear this all day. He might covered rain's face with kisses.

"What in the world did i just said?" He thought, he himself was also confuse.

"Phayu? Still there?" Rain asked, as he noticed phayu faze all of the sudden.

"Yes. What did you said again?"

"Nope, I am not gonna say it again. Nuh uh!"

"Oh come on! Please na?" Phayu continue to beg.

"Nope, not gonna happen"

Dark sky has spread throughout the sky even the sun was replaced by the moon and the stars, shining and gives light from the dark you see outside.

Rain refreshen himself and let his hair dry before going in, in his comfy bed. He almost make sure that he's in the comfortable position when he sleeps.

"Goodnight... Goodnight, phi"

"Phayu" the king and queen arrive at phayu's chamber.

"Raise up no need to bow down"

Phayu invite the royal highness in his waiting are inside his chamber.

"If you don't mind, May I asked your purpose here?" He asked politely.

"Right. So.. are you somehow free this day?" The queen asked before telling her purpose of being here.

Phayu though twice "as a matter of fact, I just finish my work 1 hour ago" the queen was delightful by his answer

"I heard you and my son rain hasn't meet up yet, right, prince Payu?" Phayu replied with a nod "indeed, your royal highness" now phayu has a clue of where this topic going through.

"I will go straight to my point. I set up a garden date for the two of you" the queen said without halting, a joy and excitement with the queen's voice. "to getting to know each other, you know? Before proceeding to engagement and wedding ceremony "

"Come again?" Phayu's mouth widen a bit, he seems misheard what the queen said. So the queen repeated "A date for you and my son, prince phayu" the queen summarize.

Now phayu was taken back from his seat "aren't your purpose of being here is to visit my dear son" yes, it's really his purpose of being here at the beginning. Phayu just introduced himself not a prince but a servant whom rain knows.

"I expected you to be present there, and rain will do the same"
