The Last of the Miras

XIX | Jū Kyū

The Altarian princess' daily activities were set in a specific time and schedule. It was thoroughly prepared by the queen dowager with a tad bit of assistance and suggestions by the queen and the king. Wherein each scheduled activity of Helen lasted almost one to three hours.

The three royalties had finalized the ten year old girl's varied activities per day.

After finalizing, they told the beige haired princess about her daily schedule. The four of them sat and had gathered along the round table of the palace's drawing room to inform Helen.

Okaa-san. She kissed one side of her mother's cheek as she goes to her grandmother and did the same.

Obaa-san

While saving the last greeting to her father.

Otou-san. While the girl made her way towards her seat to settle down.

Helen. The queen dowager called for her attention.

Yes, obaa-san?

Your parents and I had decided your daily schedule starting tomorrow.

Her grandma gave her a piece of paper which contained her daily activities.

Her father, the king cleared his throat to get his daughter's attention towards him. I hope it's not too much to ask of you, dear daughter.

The princess turned from her father towards the piece of paper she was holding. With a swift read and scan, she replied. It's okay. Not much of a trouble for me.

With the answer coming from the youngest child, the queen heaved a sigh. Good. She stopped for a second and continued. Helen, I hope you understand your schedule. It's for your best.

I understand, okaa-san.

At dinner, the whole Mira family ate at the palace's dining room on a long rectangular table. The clicking of silver utensils were heard as the family partakes their food. Axel, the prince, had observed his sibling who seems to be in deep thinking while eating.

He softly called out to the princess. Helen-chan?

It seems that his first call may not have reached the princess' ears. Then, he tries once more.

Helen-chan

After the second try, still no reply coming from the ten year old.

Helen-chan! He whispered and emphasized the girl's name for the third time.

Finally hearing her brother's call, she replied while finally going back in eating. What is it, Axel-niisan?

Are you fine? You seem to be thinking too much, Helen-chan.

The said sister nods her head once, before giving her brother a semi side glance.

Sorry, Axel-nii. Thank you for worrying about me. I'm fine.

Alright, I'll let you off the hook for today. Her brother thought, glancing at his younger sibling while finally finishing the food that was served in his plate.
