Last time, James stole rum from his father's house so Charles can make Banana Fosters French Toast. That night, it was a constant silence during that dinner. Your mom told me you are in the student newspaper. Agwe replied. Yes, I am. James replied. James, what did we just go over? Siân asked. I am going to eat in my room. I have to study for my Calculus test in the morning. James replied. He grabbed his dinner and went to his room. He really hates me that much? Agwe replied. Think about your track record, Agwe. You would constantly make promises to him you never kept. Siân replied. He adverted his eyes. He is fed up with you disappointing him. Siân replied. As James ate his food, he was studying. You should see if he fell asleep in his bed or his desk? Siân asked. Why would he do that? Agwe asked. As the two walked up to his room, Agwe was surprised. He is sound asleep at his desk. Agwe had a flashback of a younger James yelling and crying. Daddy, I hate you. Siân hugs James. Agwe, I'm tired of you disappointing him! Siân yelled. He had a deadpan expression. You can get out yelling. Morgan replied. I will. Agwe, I want you to reflect on your actions. One day it will be too late. Siân replied. She slammed the door. Agwe put a blanket over him. I'm sorry for disappointing you, James. James cried. Agwe petted his head. He turned his lamp off and left his room. The next day, James wakes up in a panic. I need to get ready; I am going to miss my Calculus test. James replied. You already missed it. You missed school entirely. Siân replied. He grabbed his head No, no. James replied. Calm down. Your body finally gave in to the exhaustion of work. Siân replied. That friend came to check up on you. She's so adorable. Siân replied. You can come in Amber-Rose. Siân replied. Didn't you text me, you overslept at lunch? Charles asked. How? James asked. James turned around and looked at his mom. Mom, did you use facial recognition and my password to open my phone? James asked. What? Siân asked. He had a deadpan expression. You look like your father right now. Siân replied. Note to self: change my password more often. James mumbled. Well, I made you this yesterday. Charles replied. Is that pasta? James asked. Is that ravioli? Siân asked. Yes, but you have to warm it up in the oven. It is leftovers of what I made yesterday. Charles replied. My mom smiles as she sees the ravioli. Does your mom like ravioli? Charles asked. My mom likes pasta. James replied. Hey James, I thought. Siân replied. He shook his head. What's wrong? Charles asked. Nothing. James replied. I have to go. See you at school. Charles replied. She waved goodbye. You know Charles; you are what he needs around him. I replied. Oh, my friend came to get you. He's here. I replied. Thank you, Ryo. Charles replied. Anytime, Charles. I replied.
I texted James.
Me: She made a secret batch for you.
James: What?
Me: Yes. So don't waste it.
James: Can you tell her I like it? More my mom loves it too.
Me: I will tell her.
James: Thank you, Ryoko.
Me: you can call me Ryo for short.
James: why do you call Amber-Rose, Charles?
Me: We have a great great grand aunt named Charles.
She looks like her in her youth. The only difference is hair and eye color.
James: Really?
Me: Yup, ask her the next time you see her.
James: Alright.
On the way home, I looked at my phone. A notification for Kaoru Book Three: Part One: Chapter Ten is up. What are you reading? Charles asked. It's called Life of Kaoru. I replied. You are tearing up. Charles replied. She is always like that with Reve Avaritia's works. Sosuke replied. She is amazing. I heard she is coming to San Francisco next year in January. I replied. Sosuke sighs. Other than that, the Princess has her knight. Now the Lunar Emperor's child is a going to show himself soon. I thought.
Who is the Lunar Emperor's child? Stay Tuned.
