It is small noises, but if it's repeating over and over again, that can piss off anyone. Kaylie pulled the blanket up to his head. It's morning, and he's already feeling frustrated to the point of almost gnashing his teeth.
Living with Melas alone for days, he doesn't know how many times he threw the blanket away angrily. If anything, making him wake in this way, it was none other than noises to come from the scullery in the morning time. There's a window connecting his room and kitchen. When he was a child, the window looked so much bigger than now. He would put his chin on the window sill and read a book while at times taking a peek at Tesla who wash all kinds of kitchen tools. There's a difference, but only a slight difference since he grew up. The reminisce of childhood.
Thanks to Melas, he had so much to reminisce about. He slides the window to the left. Answer come without him asking. Marvelous.
"I have to bake."
"Bake? In the morning?" Kaylie eyes naturally to clock whenever Melas saying something doesn't make sense to him. He could understand if he saw Tesla at the time, but Melas?
It's 4 a.m. Again. "Have you quit being a carpenter today?" He thought Melas had quit his unofficial job today since he didn't hear any banging sound outside, but the noises just changed its place to the kitchen. He doesn't mind much what time headmaster wake up or what he wants to do at 4:00 a.m. particularly, but the problem is the stupid headmaster just had to make noises near his room. That could easily blow his top.
He had very much an interest as to asking who it's between Tesla and Melas arrange his bed beside scullery? If it's himself, he should be slapping himself for getting a room near scullery. He doesn't know why back then he could sleep soundly in the room beside the scullery but now, as he's getting older year by year rarely, could he sleep soundly in this kind of room. Probably as a child before because Tesla is always in the kitchen most of the time, he felt secure for the sense of warmth of a mother beside him. Now he questioned himself again, why right now are all those things burning him up?
"I forget about it, but the order of cakes hasn't been suspended, and we have to fulfill it. I guess Tesla didn't tell them she was away from home and some orders have been delayed."
"Why wasn't it suspended?"
"I forgot about it."
"The dawn just comes, and you're going to wake the whole neighborhood with all those noises. I won't be surprised if one day there's someone come to you complaining about noise."
"I'm just cooking. Where all the noises come from?"
Kaylie loss for words. Should he stamp in Melas's brain, the nosiest noise sound is cooking. "You in the kitchen is like having 10 chefs in there. If we have a neighbor next to the house, they would think we're having a party every day."
"I'm just baking. Our neighbor, they live far from us."
"Even if you don't think of the complete neighborhood, just think of me as your neighbor who wanted to sleep right now. Can you?"
"Can you help me?"
"Do I look like I in position want to help you?"
"You're certainly not but if it's you the customer can't find faulty cakes. They would think Tesla made it as usual, if not we will hear the complaint about it."
"If you're worried about them fault-finding, then make it faultless."
"I'm not Tesla."
"Because you're not Tesla they will surely find something different about it because you're both different people and different people of different taste. Have you ever seen the same dishes taste the same with different people making them? You're already dumb, I don't want to call you fatuous. Don't let me go to that extent."
What Kaylie said is far-fetched for a headmaster, always called dumb and stupid by Kaylie on a daily basis. He's certainly not a faux pas as one could see anywhere. He could have expected it. Kaylie never lived with the royal family nor received an education on how an empire's sole heir should behave, but from time to time he could see the dignity of royal bloodline in him. Although just now, he's just babbling at him about cakes. He couldn't imagine how all those top brass would age faster with Kaylie's tongue.
With the appointment of a new royal heir, Kaylie unlikely will be the next emperor, but even if he's not, still a single no from him could halt everything. The new royal heir is still second to him after the emperor. He had witnessed him half cooked grilled, one of the top drawers ended theirs making the final decision on the matter. They could be not more than grateful he was sent to the countryside and living a commoners' life. He's still young but is treated as one of royal senior in the matter of empire, especially inner selfish evil desires nothing but must go to ways he wants it.
The plan for Kaylie to be adopted in Ianchenster family began long after his birth. That the only reason why the only library is exclusively symbolizing royalty…
Melas showed Kaylie the cake he baked and the word 'indecent' came out from his son's mouth. Endless questions pop up in his mind just because Kaylie letting out the word 'indecent.' It happened the moment Kaylie laid his eyes on love shaped cake.
It's only indecent because it was no other than it was shaped love. And Kaylie wasn't the kind of person who likes what other people usually like. Melas letting out 'hmm!' as usual. When he had nothing to say, … Melas would stop and prepared the breakfast. Looks like Tesla's customers will be divided into two from today on. One who's complaining and asking about taste and the other questioning about a new baker in the household.
