Chapter 150: Hungry

I was done after I finished eating. Nii-sama and the others will remain behind, and he signalled an apology to me, but I have Natalie and Hans, so Im fine. I quietly asked the waiter to do something after I caught them and went back to my room first.
Im glad Im your guard, Lei-sama. Luke-sama is only 12 years old but being a part of the Four Marquises or royal family is so troublesome.
Hans, dont say what you think out loud. It was funny to see Natalie quietly rebuke the grumbling Hans. As we slowly walked back to the room and prepared for bed, there was a knock at the door.
I am here to deliver what you had asked for, a maid came in with a cart. There were two baskets on the cart.
We havent asked for anything, Hans spoke with caution.
Lei ashwed. Thanwsh.
You did? Please tell me beforehand.
Sowwy.
It certainly is suspicious to have something delivered to my room. Still, Natalie took the basket for me.
Now were going outh.
Going outh? What are you saying, Lei-sama? Its time to rest.
Hans rested at night when we were at the mansion, but hes been nagging since hes been with me the whole time on this trip.
Were going tho where Nico ish.
Prince Nico? He should be back soon, but why are you going out again?
I stared silently at Hans. Hans scratched his head.
Fine. But were going back as soon as youre done.
Ai. Natalie, thhe big bashweth.
So, Ill be taking this one with me? Natalie immediately picked up the basket. Hans had to keep his hands free, so we couldnt let him hold it.
There werent any guards outside the door, so Hans took me to Nicos room without hesitation.
This is Prince Albert and Prince Nicos room.
My room is also shared with Nii-sama.
Hans-dono, what the hell happened for you to bring Leila-sama here at this time? The guard in front of the door asked Hans. Shouldnt you be asking me that?
Oh, Leila-sama has something to give to Prince Nicholas.
Its true that His Highness has just returned, but now is a little the guard hesitated, but I knew.
Nico! I shouted a little loudly outside the door, and it opened with a bang.
Lei?! Come in!
Your Highness, but
Shut up! I want to be with Lei! Nico snapped at the guard; he was acting like how he was when I first met him.
Excushe me.
The room I had entered was more luxurious than my room. To begin with, this must be the living room since I couldnt see the bed. Its not like Im jealous or anything. However, the clothes were sprawled on the floor, and the maid, who was with Nico, looked nervous. I pointed at him, Nico, magic big thoday.
What?! I channelled my magic into the magic stone before we arrived.
Did you do shomethhing differenth?
Lets see, Nico tilted his head while I made him sit on the sofa, and I climbed up next to him. I love sofas, but its a little too high for babies. Then, I took a magic stone out of my pocket.
Lei-sama, you carry it with you?
Ithsh a coincidence, I explained since it seemed troublesome, but I saw how Nico was like at dinner time and put it in my pocket a while ago. I hadnt felt it when I saw it at noon, but it was obvious at dinner that he had surplus magic. Nii-sama would normally notice, but he wasnt paying attention because he was socialising with everyone.
Sho, channew your mwagic here.
Hmm.
Nico was used to it since hes been doing it recently every time Nii-sama comes to teach. By the time he had finished channeling his magic, his magic had settled down, and he wasnt agitated anymore.
Good.
Hmm. It feels weird around my stomach. Nico pressed his stomach and tilted his head. Sometimes there are people like that. People who dont realise that theyre hungry, some adults are like this, so obviously there will be children like this too. Especially Nico who has never gone hungry.
Nico, youre hungry.
Hungry?
You didnth eath enough.
Why do I have to explain his stomach condition to him?
Nico, thawwed a woth. Your pwathe dishappeared before you couwd eath. (Nico, talked a lot. Your plate disappeared before you could eat)
Yes, I was going to eat, but my plate was gone before I knew it.
Nico held his stomach.
Its miserable to starve.
Dats wright. I agreed with him. When I was kidnapped, I had a fever and couldnt eat even though I was hungry, so I know how important food is. But I knew what it felt like to starve before that, so I might just be a glutton.
Lei-sama, were you looking at other peoples plates as well? Youre a glutton.
Theres a difference between knowing that Im a glutton and others telling me that I am one. Im going to tell Nii-sama later.
Natalie, bashweth.
Yes, Lei-sama.
Natalie could probably tell what was inside by the feel and smell of the basket. She put the basket on the table and gently opened the lid.
The room filled up with a nice aroma.
This is
Dewicioush food, I goth ith dewivered. I puffed my chest out. There are advantages to being a glutton too.
I recommend thhe wewi cawe. (I recommend the weli cake)
Cake? Ill eat the cake after.
Lei wiww eath thoo.
I wanted to eat it again when I saw it. Hans looked at me as if he wanted to say something, but Natalie stopped him, Dont say anything.
I really shouldnt eat before I go to bed, but its not good to sleep while feeling sad over an empty stomach. Nico ate the fish deliciously, and by the time he shared his cake with me, I was feeling sleepy. Then, when I came to, it was morning.
Lei, I didnt starve thanks to you. Nii-sama smiled next to me and greeted me before saying that straight away. It seemed that the small basket was useful too.
Giww?
I hadnt prepared anything for Gill, so I asked about him and Nii-sama answered, Gill could ask for seconds and keep on eating even when people come up to talk to him. As expected of Gill. Its better for one person to have a lot of nerves. Its definitely his growth period.
Nevertheless, Nico will fall sick if we keep going at this pace. They were planning on taking it slowly on this trip, but isnt that pointless now? I crossed my arms on top of the bed and looked complicated.
Lei-sama, lets change your clothes.
Ai. Food!
After changing, its time for food. Ill think about it after I eat.
