The ruthless assassin and his gentle prince

Special Chapter - Date

Arthit was drenched. Oh but that was an usual occurrence for him. Because it was bath time for his babies. And by babies, he meant Alyssa, Ae, Kongpob and Slate. A bathtub big enough for all of them. Two small bathtubs enough for his babies inside the huge one. Don't even try to understand the extravagance of the demon prince for his children. Even Arthit had given up in this case. "So, are you having fun, Aly?", he asked his daughter as the latter slapped her little hands into the water. With her only two teeth out for everyone to see, she grinned at her mother. Well, Arthit got his answer; she was clearly enjoying herself. Arthit smiled back at her and proceeded to wash her up.

He knew Slate and Kongpob were clearly waiting for something. So, he announced the news: "The dragon tattoo is on her right bum today." Slate shouted triumphantly in his head and Kongpob groaned in defeat. "How? Just how does he win this everyday, Ae? Just tell me how.", complained Kongpob as he washed his son. Ae blinked at him and then frowned at his father. Kongpob sighed: "You are my baby, Ae sweetheart.. Adrestia is your father. The mighty Adrestia. It's high time you start to love water.. Come on, baby. Stop frowning that much at your papa. You'll break my heart otherwise." In the meantime, Alyssa was gurgling happily as Arthit rubbed her hair. Slate chuckled as he watched the opposite reactions of the two babies. He decided to answer in Ae's place. "It's not his fault that his twin stole the love for water for herself."

Arthit picked his baby up and Alyssa gasped in delight, her eyes shining gold. At once they disappeared. Kongpob swore under his breath and proceeded to get Ae out of the bath as he called out Arthit's name telepathically: "Baby? You okay?" Arthit was laughing as he replied: "We are fine. We are in their room, so bonus for me." Both Slate and Kongpob relaxed. "You know better than to make her excited like that, Arthit.", retorted Kongpob as he wrapped Ae in a towel. Ae gurgled at his father, as if he was mocking him. Slate laughed: "He looks happy that his sister made you scared. Revenge for that bath, Kongpob." "Haha", replied Kongpob drily as he teleported to the twins' room. After placing Ae on the bed, he teleported back to the bathroom.

He proceeded to take his shower and when he came back, the scenery in front of him was quite funny. Alyssa was climbing her mother's leg while Ae was getting dressed. "Stop taking pictures and continue to dress Ae so that I can pick that monkey up.", Arthit said. Kongpob placed the phone on the bed and picked his daughter up. Delegating the task to his soulmate, Arthit walked away. Kongpob raised his hand to make the toys float right in front of Alyssa to keep her occupied as he dressed his son. Ae was appreciating the song that Slate was humming to him and let Kongpob do the job quickly. When he glanced at his daughter, his eyes nearly popped out as he saw the toys jumping over each other. He scratched his head and placed Ae on his tummy so that he could join his sister.

"Aren't her powers increasing by day?", he asked Slate as he observed his babies. It was fascinating how the toys came to Ae too. Alyssa believed in sharing. Slate just whispered in awe: "She is amazing." Kongpob nodded and jumped in surprise as the door suddenly opened. Diana shouted: "So, where's the tattoo today?" Slate excitedly exclaimed: "On her right bum! I won again!!" Diana laughed as she patted her son's shoulder in sympathy. "And how are my pumpkins today?", she asked as she walked to the twins. Both Alyssa and Ae were grinning and waving their hands excitedly as they saw their grandmother. "Oh dear, I feel so loved.", said the demon queen as she reached over and then picked them up. At once, the toys fell down and Diana glanced at her son. Kongpob shook his head and explained: "I was trying to distract her at first but she soon took over."

The demon queen smiled and said cheerfully as she looked at the babies: "We should tell grandpa about this, hmm? And what about you, sweetheart? Did you finally fall in love with the water today?" Ae gurgled happily and Diana continued to baby talk to them as she walked away. Kongpob followed her, smiling at her interactions with the twins. To think that he had once thought that his mother did not want him and took him for cruel experiments. He shook his head, pushing these dark thoughts away and stopped walking when he felt two arms come around his waist. Arthit said against his back: "I am ready." Kongpob turned and kissed his soulmate. "Ready for our childless day?", he whispered into Arthit's mind. And Arthit hummed as answer. Reluctantly breaking off the kiss, Kongpob clutched Arthit's hand and smiled when Arthit curled his fingers around his. "Time for a date!", Arthit exclaimed with a grin.
