"He must like the cookies right?"
"Yes of course. Your highness and Lady Leonia made them after all."
"Will he like the tea leaves."
"I'm certain he will. It was a thoughtful gift that the prince spent a lot of time preparing."
"Miss Connie."
"Yes Your Highness?"
"When the candy jar is full, remind me to share them with everyone."
"Your highness."
"I want to thank everyone for helping me and treating me kindly even after knowing I'm royalty."
Connie is genuinely moved by the prince's kindness.
"It is our duty as citizens of the empire to do so."
"I wish that was so."
Connie halts as she barely catches what the prince whispered. She remembers how Cara told her to give special attention to him and wonders if this is what she meant.
Adlyn is a valiant child overflowing with joy and love.
His bright smile and personality melts the hearts of everyone he meets, even the coldest ones.
He is knowledgeable and has amazing talents yet he stays humble and takes pride in his craft especially when he does so himself.
Even with the divide between Boleoti and royalty, Adlyn has captured the hearts of everyone. He even gets along excellently with the lady and the Duke.
It is not a hidden fact that everyone serving Boleoti sees Adlyn as the young lord of the Dukedom.
"You're cherished more than you know, Your Highness."
Connie says, tucking the child under the white covers.
"Really?"
Adlyn's voice wavers as he hides his flushed cheeks by raising the sheets. Connie nods with a sincere smile.
"You were very busy today. Now let's get you to sleep. If you need anything, please be free to ring this bell."
The maid gives a golden bell with a well-crafted handle in Adlyn’s hand.
When he shakes the bell lightly, a clear tone rings.
She explains to Adlyn, who is sceptical that a person could arrive simply by hearing a ticking sound.
“It’s made using magic.”
“All the servants can hear it.”
She reveals a thin bracelet around her wrist, stating that everyone wears it. The colour of the golden piece on the strap matched the colour of the bell.
Adlyn's lips round in amazement.
“That’s amazing-”
“Right? We’re amazed, too.”
“It’s as expensive as it is.”
"Do you not have this bell in the palace?"
"No. Even if it did, it's of no use to me."
"May I ask why?"
"I'm not attended by servants regularly anyways."
This shocks and worries Connie of Adlyn's treatment in the palace.
"You are here now, Your Highness."
Connie secretly teaches him that he could live like this because he’s a part of the Boleoti family. She places the bell on his side table.
