THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES

Chapter 11. Grey

  Standing.

  Standing can be alot of things depending on where exactly you are. If you are flirting or being flirted too and the other person is enjoying the mood? You're sold, you would even forget what you're standing until it's over or they mess up.

  HOWEVER. If the situation is not as bearable as you try to make it seem or is just horrible? You'd try to make an exit or just do anything to avoid standing. Like in this situation.

'..... from all the hallways and corridors of this entire palace you chose this one.'

"Question. if girls and women can call us head of the house, why can't we?"

  Standing by the large windows were three individuals;

• Steven, who was wearing his attire apart from his leather gloves.

• Sir Feronous who was in his usual formal get up of the day with colors of greys and yellows.

• and the nobles trusty body guard who standing next to the person who complained about this whole scene.

  "You mean "daddy"?" Sir Feronous squinted his eyes with suspicion as he somewhat knew where this topic was going.

  "Yeah, can't we do the same?" Steven shrugged his shoulders with his hand up in innocence before leaning aganist the wall between two windows.

  "Calling each other "Daddy"?" The guard asked after trying to find the right word.

  Sir Feronous shook his head. "No, in between the royal pillars."

"Oh." The guard realized with disappointment in what the conversation was about.

  "Don't give me that look." Steven snapped before huffing and folding his arms. "Besides, as if you can be a father figure like me?"

"Yes" / "I have two kids."

  After hearing Sir Feronous' and his guard's solid answers respectively with a straight face Steven muttered words of distain aganist their answers. This making Sir Feronous chuckle at Steven's reaction.

  "Okay, so why do you want to call women mommy?" Sir Feronous raised a brow and folded his arms, wondering what his answer would be.

  Steven paused and looked upward towards the left in thought. "Honestly, I don't really know the reason why..... but I'm sure Hika knows, Right Mommy?"

If you paid attention, the guard was standing next to someone during this entire conversation. That person being Hika.

  The reason why she was there in the first? The door which was right to her was Lady Ainsley's chambers, she was working. Unfortunately for her, the two standing infront of her were too blind to take note of her uniform. Hika would also blame Sir Feronous' guard but she knew that he just tagged along because of work.

  "..... no." Hika answered after the pause of thought to the actual question he had asked her.

"Really? Thought Lucas called you that since you were older than him." Steven hummed in thought but paused once he realized what he had said.

Hika took note of the realization he had but didn't react to it. "He did try it once, but I refused it. Though he did press on it."

Rustle smiled. "Stubborn as always huh... he'd love the dreads though. Nice touch with the ring."

  Steven furrowed his brows in shock and looked back at Hika, taking note that today she was dressed differently.

Hika had braided her hair with platinum locks which were tied back into a bun while letting some braids flow down the side of her face, the braids having red roots of her natural hair. The braids matching the golden ring which was on her left index finger.
