Chapter 14.

¿A Kiss?

Nari was telling Brett about the languages ​​they spoke and he also told him very nicely that his father had also made him study those languages, because he said that they would be of great help in the future; the sympathy and comfort that existed between them was fun, the women seemed quite lively and even Maggie was dancing next to one of the musicians, apparently she had too much to drink; the duke had joined them in the celebration, but everything felt so familiar that it didn't really seem to matter that none of them really belonged to a similar social class, but on the contrary, the women belonged to a wealthy social class, the duke obviously belonged to a high social class, but the musicians were from the lower class and not only did they dedicate themselves to playing music, but they had a lot of jobs to survive, but all that seemed to have been left in the background.

At that moment, Brett being a little more familiar got up from the edge of the fountain, shook off the cake crumbs and held out his hand to Nari and said, put the cake aside and let's dance, however, Nari told him, but we are men and if someone sees us dancing together it would be a scandal, but Brett shook his head and said: we are just children, we are just being close, there is nothing to worry about; And leaving prejudices aside, Ciprianito got up and played along, neither of them knew how to dance, they really jumped animatedly hand in hand and entering the house again, they danced carried by the women who were there, who rotated them from one to the other in a fun way, when it was very late and everyone was drunk and asleep in different parts of the house, both children went up to the room, closed the door, lay down in the same bed and talked about how fun the night had been.

Brett promised him that tomorrow and until his last breath he would be on his side no matter what happened in the future, they would be like a team, and Ciprianito, already a little tired, told him: then you have to keep your pinky promise, both children joined their pinkies as part of closing the deal and before falling asleep, Brett told Nari that if I didn't know you were a boy you would be the prototype of a woman I would marry in the future, and for a man, your beauty is unreal almost as if you were a deity, but Nari half asleep grabbed the pillow and hit him in the face and said: go to sleep asshole I'm sleepy and tired, if you say something stupid like that again I will ignore you for the rest of my life.

Both children fell completely asleep; and in the morning when Brett woke up the first thing he saw was a butterfly perched on Nari's cheek and trying not to wake him up he chased it away with his hand, but the flapping of its little wings to escape caused a bit of an allergy to Brett who covered his nose with both hands to avoid sneezing hard, and when he thought the sneeze had passed he went to try to lie down again, however, Nari opened his eyes at that moment and the tickling in his nose that Brett had been feeling surfaced again and instead of sneezing he ended up falling face to face next to Nari who had her eyes as wide open as a plate and didn't know what the hell was happening, because innocently the lips of both children joined forming a sweet tender and innocent kiss, but before they could separate, the door of the room opened and the women entered with a big breakfast singing good morning, but seeing that scene they didn't last a second to burst out laughing and Nari feeling a little embarrassed pushed Brett away from her face and threw a pillow at his face again and said to the women: I just woke up, this was an accident on his part, however, Brett stunned by the situation said: there was a butterfly perched on his cheek and in order not to wake him I was shooing it away, but the wings made me sneeze and as much as I held on, I ended up falling on top of his face, this is a misunderstanding; and Lola, who saw the situation said: but there is nothing wrong with two men kissing, as long as the outside world does not notice it, Nari's face wrinkled in a moment and said: no matter how many men there were on this planet, Brett would be the last person he would ever kiss, I don't like him, he is very ugly, he looks like a wet monkey, just look at him: his hair does not match his tanned skin color and his green eyes look like cow dung. 

There was no shortage of laughter and Brett grabbed Ciprianito's shoulder and with the other hand he messed up his hair even more and said to him: you look like a girl, if I put a dress and high heels on you there won't be any difference, that delicate, white, soft and smooth skin with that totally white hair and those unique eyes, they should only belong to women, you confuse me with your doll-like appearance porcelain, and Sol told them: well, kids, we see that you woke up a little quarrelsome today, but that's how couples fight.

 However, breakfast is getting cold and your stomachs need food to survive the great romance that is destined for cow eyes and doll skin. 

The children jumped out of bed terrified by that comment and in the distance Ciprianito was heard shouting as he walked towards the bathroom: I would never see cow eyes as something romantic in my life, I like big, pretty women like Ana.

After having breakfast and the women continuing to bother them for a while longer about the kiss, the academic activities continued as if nothing had happened and they even began to be disciplined by some guards from the Count's army so that they could survive with hunger, without water, with cold, with heat, with great weight and even, totally exhausted, the disciplines were short because it was taken into account that they were two children: one of eight and the other of seven, but this did not indicate that they were not going to be strict and with a strong hand in their disciplines, those small trainings left the pair of children exhausted; And day after day, after studying diplomatic relations, foreign languages ​​and astrology, they took the afternoon to discipline the guards, but there was not a single day when Ciprianito did not complain if they took him to the areas where it snowed, he complained because he said he was going to freeze like a block of ice, but when they took him down near the volcanic craters he refuted that he was going to melt from the heat, it was a little difficult to discipline Ciprianito, but it was not impossible, and the guards had the patience of everyone to put up with Ciprianito's complaints, tantrums, lack of encouragement and annoyances, God had blessed them with the gift of being patient and having a wonderful temperance that not everyone enjoyed having.

***

For his part, the king announced that he would marry again and that it would be with Peyton, since a kingdom without a queen was considered an easy target to attack and invade...

The whore did not hesitate to accept the marriage proposal and the king took Bianca and Lina as his daughters, who had a governess who taught them to speak and behave with professional ethics and since they were intelligent, they quickly learned everything that the royal governess taught them.

However, Peyton dared to tell Cyprian V about the commitment that the heir had to formalize with some lady of the court to inherit the throne, the man listened attentively and told him: if duke Blake ever has a daughter, she will marry in the duchy and her life will be a little more peaceful, since both the duchy and the kingdom have very good relations and a union would benefit both, but he could also marry the daughter of Congressman Héctor Balmaceda; she was just born a couple of days ago, but she enjoys great prestige and good fortune; and if I think about it, there is also the daughter of the magnate, Sergey Fortunato, and the daughter of Count Agustín, who are relatively close to Ciprianito's age, they are between five and six years old at the moment, and also, if I think about it, any of these girls would be a sun for the kingdom, they would bring good relations, prosperity and above all they would be on par with him for being high-value princesses in the market. Peyton, realizing all the possibilities that there were, said to her: but your majesty, ¿Don't you think it would be much better if the purity of blood prevailed? If you allow me to give my opinion, I say that marrying him with Lina or Bianca would be the best option, since they are growing up together and have more coexistence, which would facilitate many things along the way and the royal blood would prevail within the crown, the king was not stupid and he thought about it, but those girls were not of his blood, so he did not want to offend his lover by telling her that her daughters were of dirty blood, but seeing the illusion and affection with which his words were reflected in her eyes, he answered her: let me analyze it and I will give you an answer after our wedding, when you are formally queen consort I will give you as a gift the engagement of Bianca and Lina with Cyprian or some noble of the court. ¿Do you think what I tell you is okay, dear? The cunning Peyton kissed the king's lips and looking into his eyes she answered him: whatever your majesty decides for me is fine.
