Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Side Chapter: Vivienne's Two Aunties (VI).

"Welcome to my home."

Crown princess Rosarie von Goldheart offers her hand to the little girl to which Vivienne gleefully takes it. The staff become even more curious, what is the relationship between the two to have one of the light princesses offering her hand just like that?

The newly adopted granddaughter of the Hills family.

Not too long ago the daughter of the Hills family, Lady Kein Hills, visited the palace before having a child that looked quite similar to her and everyone had seen.

"Home!" (Vivienne) yells out a little, her other mother was taking in her fragile hand as they walked inside the palace having Alfred not too far.

"..." He was looking for an opportunity to hand the princess a letter without being seen by so many servants. There were many eyes lurking, it would be bad if the letter was given to the wrong servant and thus the letter's content being read.

Princess Rosarie was so excited about having her little one inside the palace, it's not like she was feeling rather lonely having her sisters' company but she really missed the little one and seeing her figure has always reminded her of Kein.

"We'll be going to my room, the third princess is already waiting for you too- To test your affinity for light magic of course." (Princess Rosarie) was always horrible when it comes to lying but she did her best on this one that none of the servants found her behavior weird.

"Auntie Catherine?" (Vivienne) asks and each one of the servants gasped in shock! How ludicrous! A mere child from the lower noble house would dare call one of the prized possessions of the kingdom, the light princess- 'Auntie'?!

How inelegant! How rude! How commoner like-

"Yes, Aunty Catherine. She's rather excited to meet you again." (Princess Rosarie) at that time didn't care because what's the harm of letting a little girl call one of your sisters Auntie? "We'll have lots of fun- um testing your magical abilities after all my sister is definitely one of the best light magic users- definitely."

"Ohhh! Okie okie!"

Rose giggles hearing her satisfying little 'Okie' of a reply that she couldn't help but imitate it too. "Hold my hand to not get lost, okie?" she tells her and everyone around was in a state of confusion.

The crown princess for the past two years didn't once laugh, and was now giggling with a little girl from the lower noble house. Certainly peculiar the servants wanted to talk about it with one another after they'd been dismissed, it was only a few minutes before they'd arrived at the Crown Princess' front door to her quarters.

With the little Vivienne by her hand, she turns to her subjects and asks for them to leave.

"May I ask for everyone except Vivienne Hill's servant to leave, we'll be conducting some private tests and it will rather take a while. I wouldn't want to bore any of you on our activities and it would overwhelm the little girl if so many people were watching." (Princess Rosarie) tilts her head with a smile looking over her many servants to whom was obedient towards the princess.

They would often compare the twins to one another.

When it comes to orders, they would rather take them from the kind hearted princess than the scowling sick one in bed.

The servants looked at one another before nodding, then giving either curtsey or a bow to the crown princess. Vivienne seeing her other mother instruct her orders, she wondered if they were playing a game of charades.

Everyone there looked so serious and scary, the only people she could seem to get along with was Alfred and her Mommy.

"As you wish, your highness." They all replied at the same time. The high ranking servant takes a step forward telling the princess, "If you need any of our services, your highness please do call us."

They all formed a line, leaving just as ordered.

Rose, who couldn't wait to get in, opened the door on her own and ushered the little girl to go inside dragging Alfred with them.

Clack!

"Ah! Now this is better!" (Princess Rosarie) raised her arms out to stretch, feeling so stiff keeping a firm and proper position because of her role as the crown princess to uphold. She pouts, wanting to be irresponsible for once, holding back the urge to break all the rules her older sister and father has given her to follow.

She groans, wanting to de-stress.

Right! Where's the little fluff ball she can hug and kiss?!

"Vivienne come hug mommy!" (Princess Rosarie) holds out her hand but feels no hug incoming. Not until she hears her little Vivienne giving her attention to someone else.

"Auntie hehehe!"

"!!!"

Princess Catherine who had a quill and paper in her hand immediately sets them to the side seeing the bright yellow muffin running to her direction for a hug. The third princess wanted to say so many words how happy she was that she got called as an auntie, all she could do was also wrap the girl in a tight embrace.

"I missed chu auntie." (Vivienne) gave a little cheeky smile, she has noticed this auntie doesn't talk to much but she sure is kind. The hug they had wasn't for long, the little girl looked up to see the bright happiness filled expression of her lovely auntie.

"Did chu miss me too?" she asks, Princess Catherine nodded, eyes sparkling. So many things she wanted to say all at once!

The third princess thought of taking a sketch pad and a pen from her [Storage Ring], to write what she felt but stopped knowing children at her age can't read.

"..." (Princess Catherine) casts her head down dejectedly, Vivienne couldn't understand.

Princess Rosarie, sees how dejected her sister was not being able to fully express her joy of seeing their little bean again. As the kind hearted person she was, immediately she goes to them and asks her sister.

"Catherine, what would you like to say? I can translate it for you or if you want I can read whatever you write in your sketchbook to her." she smiles sitting down next to her, and pulls Vivienne gently placing her by her thighs for her to sit down. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

"..." (Alfred) who was also in the room has never felt so invisible in his life but seeing how happy the three were conversing with one another he didn't have the guts to interrupt them so he waits for another person time to talk.

Princess Catherine, whose heart melts softly for having one of the best sisters she could ask for, takes her hands and signs out for her to tell Vivienne more properly. 'Tell her I have also missed Vivienne so much and that I'm excited to play with her today.'

Her hands moved in various directions and signs.

Vivienne watches and realizes what it was, her aunt must've been mute this whole entire time! That's why she was the only one talking when they hung out with one another at the last visit.

Vivienne eyes blink looking at her small tiny hands turning quiet. As if possessed by something unknown, her hand formed the letter 'Y' sliding it back and forth towards her and the third princess.

'Me too.'

"Hehehe!" (Vivienne) giggles knowing full well what it meant. She was definitely happy and excited to be playing with her auntie.

"!!!" (Princess Catherine) almost jumped out of her seat reading her sign. Hearing Vivienne giggle, the childlike innocence suddenly scared the third princess because- that was so clean!

The sign language she used!

"What in the light!" (Princess Rosarie) saw the whole thing too and was perplexed, she signed her sister 'Me too'! She was so happy and proud that she was able to do such a thing at such a young age.

"Did Kein teach you how to use sign language?" She holds Vivienne by the waist smiling at how sweet her girlfriend is to teach her something so useful.

After all Kein knows how to do sign languages making her more attractive!

Alfred hearing everything, for the little girl to have known sign language- he doesn't recall Milady Kein having time to teach the young one sign language. He felt like something was amiss and walked up to the two princesses.

With the whole story she told her of someone else living in someone else's body- perhaps- this little girl is something similar to that too?!

But she shouldn't be rushing to assume, she might just be paranoid to all the things that's been happening around her after all Vivienne might have learned it from her old family!

"Then perhaps it was also a coincidence signing that like some sort of charade- we shouldn't just guess-" (Princess Rosarie) laughed nervously keeping Vivienne by her side.

Princess Catherine hearing her sister's reassuring words made her heart calm down.
