** Sauru POV **
After the hellish week we just went through, I told the boys I should head home first—I needed to rest and process everything.
Even now, I still can't believe all that happened. I needed a moment to breathe. Just as I was about to sleep, my phone rang. I shivered when I saw the name on the screen.
"Salut, cous, tu as appelé? Il y a quelque chose qui ne va pas?" I answered. (Hello, cous, you called? Is something wrong?)
"Viens nous chercher maintenant. Nous sommes à l'aéroport." He said. (Fetch us now. We're at the airport.)
W-WHAT?? Airport? We? You've got to be kidding me... they're here? No way!
"Sauru Gun Den Haxel Blacksmith? Tu es toujours là?" he said in a cold tone. (Sauru Gun Den Haxel Blacksmith? Are you still there?)
"O-Oui, je suis toujours là. Je n'arrive pas à croire que vous soyez ici maintenant." I stammered. (Y-Yes, I'm still here. I just can't believe you're here now.)
"Hmm..." Hans answered quietly.
After hanging up, I called my butler, Devi.
"Jeune Maître, vous m'avez appelé?" he asked. (Young Master, you called for me?)
"Oui. Je veux que tu réveilles tout le monde. Demande-leur de se préparer et de nettoyer la chambre d'amis. Elle doit être présentable, car les princes arrivent et vont rester ici." I explained.
(Yes. Wake everyone up and have them prepare and clean the guest room. It should be presentable—the princes are coming and staying here.)
"Jeune maître? Qu'est-ce que tu veux dire?" Devi asked, disbelief in his voice. (Young Master? What do you mean?)
"C'est ce que c'est. Quand tu auras fini, nous irons à l'aéroport pour les récupérer. Je vais juste me laver un peu." I continued. (It is what it is. Once you're done, we're going to the airport to fetch them. I'll just freshen up.)
"Oui, jeune maître." he answered. (Yes, young master.)
I sighed.
Devi drove us to the airport. Thanks to his preparations, we found my cousins easily. In just a few minutes, we were there, blending in as civilian royal butlers while keeping them safe from any potential danger.
I approached them.
"Salut cousin! Comment s'est passé le vol?" I asked as I hugged them. (Hello, cousin! How was the flight?)
As the other butlers saw me bow in respect, they followed suit.
"Long, mais ça va." Hans replied. (It was long, but we're good.)
"As-tu vu la princesse?" Hail asked abruptly. (Have you seen the Princess?)
"Comment va-t-elle?" Haze followed up. (How is she?)
"Est-ce qu'elle va bien?" Hans added. (Is she okay?)
"Entrons d'abord dans la voiture avant que je réponde à toutes tes questions." I said calmly. (Let's get in the car first before I answer all your questions.)
"Bien sûr." They replied. (Of course.)
"Par ici, vos altesses." Devi guided. (This way, Your Highnesses.)
On the way home, I explained everything to the triplets. They seemed to understand my situation.
"Dans ce cas, tu devrais nous déposer demain là où la princesse séjourne. Nous voulons la voir." Hans requested. (In that case, you should drop us off tomorrow where the Princess is staying. We want to see her.)
"Bien sûr, pas de problème pour ça. C'est juste que—" I agreed. (Of course, no problem with that. It's just that—)
"Qu'est-ce que c'est?" Hail asked curiously. (What is it?)
"B-bon, comment dire ça?" I hesitated. (W-well, how can I say this?)
"Dis-le simplement!" Haze urged. (Just say it!)
"E-euh... Ne sois pas choqué par son apparence ou sa façon de parler. Sinon, elle pourrait encore s'enfuir. Parle-lui normalement, comme si c'était quelqu'un d'ordinaire." I blurted out. (U-umm... Just don't be shocked by how she looks or talks—she might run away again. Talk normally, like she's just a regular person.)
"C'est tout?" Hans asked. (Is that all?)
"Et porte des vêtements normaux." I added. (And wear normal clothes.)
"Nous portons des vêtements normaux, tu sais." Hail said, bored. (We're wearing normal clothes, you know.)
"Bien sûr. Je le sais, mais je veux dire sans marques sur les vêtements." I clarified. (Of course, I know. I mean no branded clothes.)
"Pourquoi?" Haze asked. (Why?)
"Parce que personne ne connaît son identité ici, et elle ne veut pas attirer l'attention. Elle porte aussi des vêtements sans marque." I explained. (Because no one knows her identity here, and she doesn't want too much attention. She also wears unbranded clothes.)
"D'accord." They answered. (Okay.)
I sighed. I asked Devi to helped them settle into the guest room so they could rest for tomorrow's meet-and-greet.
And just thinking about it sent chills down my spine. I don't know what will happen, but I hope no incidents occur.
A everything seemed clear. I decided to prepare myself for tomorrow. Good luck to my dear cousins.
