Only speak about eating in the house, nothing comes to mind except the son of his and if he remembered the son of his, eat word never escapes the mind most the time. The one who will eat much of everything he likes and quite a lot of them. It wasn't a coincidental when Kaylie's sweet toothed and his wife is a baker. Melas wasn't fond much of sweets but seeing a little son he adopted munching small cupcakes made by his wife gave him the felt of a son liking the sweets made by his mother. Tesla didn't eat much of anything she made, but on the contrary, she likes making sweets. Reminisce of past, little sweetheart is what his wife called Kaylie. Later it changes to sweetheart as he grows up till 13 years old. Melas could tell how much his wife loves Kaylie cause up till rarely his wife call Kaylie by the name. She always uses endearment terms to address him.

When Kaylie follows him anywhere around the house, there's time he would call his 5 years old son 'babe' but most of the time he called Kaylie by his name. Once, Kaylie complained he's already a grown up at the age of six years old, and he wanted people to call him by his name. He likes the acting up and sulky Kaylie when he's being treated as a newborn baby that needs protection 24 hours. Kaylie will be nosy even when's he having meals or eating, or he wants to talk. He will do it even if he's having a favorite food of his. The two times Kaylie being quiet is time he's reading a book and time when he's stocking up anything in the stomach. As the father always watches his son eating, there are feelings likes that rather him being quiet because he didn't eat better, lets him that's make him 'Kaylie.'

A sense of father in him is rich when Kaylie was a child. Kaylie treatment to him is much more like a father with a son living together in the same house in and out of daily life. Only leave out 30 percent out of 100 percent. Probably the kid aware he's not the real father but as a kid, Kaylie's still wants someone called father be around him. He knew up to stage by stage to teenage hood, by then, his relationship with Kaylie is more like a guardian or a friend mostly. The times Kaylie called him 'dad' is something he adored and treasured. The treasured times how Kaylie is in his protection as in Kaylie is always in his arms, back, or thigh. Mostly it was always the thigh. He would take Kaylie to sit on his thigh whenever he saw the child reading a book on his own. The kid would fall slept leaning against his torso. In Kaylie teenager hood, a sense of father was replaced with protector apart from father sense.

The time he's growing up, the resemblance much more the royals, the one. Whether it's his speech, style, movement, and judgement. All of them are dignified. The only thing he never witnessed is his fighting skill, but he's excellent handling of anything called weapons and the kinds of it. Especially, arrows and bow. He had guessed Kaylie fighting skill as magnificent as how the way he handled weapons. It never crossed the mind, the land he where he's living for years God blessed them with long awaited empire sole heir raised here. In his very own house to say.

After two years he adopted Kaylie, at 7 years old he discovered Kaylie is sharp tongued and much annoyed to him, that sharp tongued could piss off anyone that pissed Kaylie or not. The reason why those dairy cattle had no barn for years cause in one afternoon long years ago, when Kaylie sneaked up to him to see what he was doing, he told the son he wanted to build a barn for dairy cattle. "Barn? Why?"

"They also need a home, just like us. Shelter, food, and warm house like how we're living."

"Isn't our home being already a home to them, why do they need another home?"

"…" Melas couldn't right sentences to give. Guessed back then, he was already made a fool of himself as a father.

"Why justification aren't they living with us?"

"They are. They are with us. But they're animals, creatures having their own nature about living like us put down roots from the birth."

"So, dad, you're going to build a home for all of them today?"

"An animal house is different, and it's taking time building them, but as it progressed, we'll be finished in days."

At that time, he couldn't understand why Kaylie started counting dairy cattle in the field. After the child finishes, he knows Kaylie could belong in a genius clique of another level.

"Dad, you could never have finished the barn today. There are dozens of dairy cattle families. Let's build something similar to it."

Melas speechless. He's out of idea how to give answer on answer of how supposed an adult should give. Suddenly, he felt he still had stupidity in him, despite living quite a long time.  Melas laughed at the sentence. But he doesn't mind the childish sentence. There's times Kaylie words and actions tickle, bring a laughter. The felt talking to his own flesh and blood. He was annoyed at the thought. Why a cutie in front him not his son but someone else son. And just like that, he built something that is not exactly a barn but almost something similar to it next house. It was more like a hut. But it was built based on a barn sketch. Since his son wants to have feelings, dairy cattle live with them.

At that time, he hadn't thought much of the way Kaylie talked. And now, it has become, that's how it is. He once attended a royal palace party before. The time when he's still working as chief of palace chefs. He saw both the empress and the emperor. They look majestic in the eyes of the audience, but to him, they're just half dependent on each other in ruling the empire. The man who does his utmost for his people and the woman who supported the empire emotionally, Kaylie inherited sharp tongued from his royal mother while his striking and handsome gorgeous look come from both of his royal parents. There's not much difference between his adopted parents and royal parents.

Both fathers were quite afraid of mothers and occasionally obeyed them and didn't dare to object much to household things.
