Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)-Chapter 203 76

Chapter 76: Till we come back home (II).

Kein's POV

With my words reaching them, some walked up slowly into the line taking a tray. The little kids who will be in the year kindergarten might be able to handle buying things inside the cafeteria, will be left to their teacher to take charge and have them eat at a specific time.

We slid our way into the line and the newly hired cooks- to which I noticed they were mostly all the elderly giving a warm smile. "Oh! Milady- please do point out anything that you want."

She tells me and I eye the food.

"Hmm…"

I look at Vivienne not knowing what to pick. I wanted to know if she has any preferences other than sweets, surely she wouldn't mind fruits?

"Anything you want to have Vivienne? Like an apple, orange or even some meat?" I ask her, interested in knowing what other food she may like.

She giggles looking over the fine array of snacks prepared by the lovely elderly cooks. They seemed to be very fond of her little stares chuckling. They tell me, "Oh your daughter looks so adorable Miss Hills!"

"Nomnom, cookie." (Vivienne) tells me and I nod going back to the cook completely agreeing with her with a smile.

"You could say she's my little cookie monster now." I chuckled, keeping her within my arms laughing a little with me. "I'll... take a side salad, some rich with some meat patties and this little one's cookies."

I point to all the things I wanted and the cook takes what I requested and places them on our tray. "Do you need any assistance from any of us to bring your tray to a table, milady?"

I shake my head, feeling a little bashful. Elderly people make me a little bit soft, all of them remind me of my grandma. "No... it's alright I can take these myself with my other arm."

I was fit enough to carry them both so I didn't need any assistance. The elderly cook smiles so sweetly, and reaches out to hold the side of my hand that was holding Vivienne.

"T-Thank you, I just wanted to express my gratitude milady for letting me have this opportunity..." The grandmother tells me and I panicked a little.

"You're a wonderful noble." she tells me, her face reminded me so much of my grandma.

"T-Thank you… and you're welcome."

Alfred was watching us converse with one another but seeing that I don't want to hold up the line because I know other people were still waiting, I had to give the grandma's hand a firm shake with a nod of my head.

"Seeing many people happy, giving jobs and having many children get the education they need has always been my goal." I feel my voice being confident and so sure, that I know I wanted this.

Everyone's ears perked at my words and soon the atmosphere of the cafeteria became a lot more comfortable to be in. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

I waved my hand in farewell to the lovely elderly woman that helped us with our food, Vivienne copied me and waved back her hands as well a little too enthusiastically.

"Bye bye! Bye gwanmama!" (Vivienne) waves over almost making me lose balance on holding my tray. "Ack!"

"Be careful, Vivienne!"

Alfred thankfully helps me by taking the tray from my hold, he was like a ninja suddenly swooping in to take it and standing up right with his posture. "Milady, watch your step."

He tells me and I sighed a breath of relief towards Alfred. "Ah... Thank you Alfred for saving my white suit over spilled food."

I looked down on my suit, momentarily forgetting that stains on white silk is not something our laundry maid can remove easily.

"It is a duty of a butler to be prepared for any possible outcome and danger, you are welcome milady." (Alfred) accompanies me, as I hold Vivienne close.

"Sowwy Moma..." she guilty bows her head and I pat the top of it.

"It's alright, but remember when I'm carrying something don't move around too much. I don't mind getting the white suit dirty but what if I let you go and you got hurt?"

Vivienne pouts and buries her head further to my chest, muttering sorry all over again and I had to assure her that it's okay now because Alfred came to our rescue.

"Milady, over here!" Ellis stands upon a table and chair where he has already occupied it for us and-

"Vivienne can sit here, Milady." He shows me a little chair with safety seat belts on them. Pfft- no way! It reminded me of those little chairs back in my old world- don't tell me Peter designed this one?

"A little children's chair. I can't believe you guys went all your way to have these." I placed a hand on my waist feeling impressed with all of the school's accommodating features.

"After introducing us to your daughter, we assumed she would visit the school often if you would permit." He tells me as I slowly put Vivienne inside the chair buckling her little belt in.

"My fiancé and I would really love to spend our time with our niece." (Ellis) tells me, voice a little shy.

I could feel him doing a little gulp.

The idea of having Vivienne adapt early into school, perhaps she could even take interest in the library or even the field- and I haven't really asked Lenard yet if we still have some remaining budget for a playground.

"Well I'm going away for a while for a confidential mission so it would make my heart relieved that her uncles would be looking out for her while I'm gone."

I told Ellis who was delighted to hear the news. "Thank you- Milady."

"We're family now so you have to call me Kein."

"Perhaps outside of work?"

"I suppose whatever you're comfortable with Ellis." I tell him to sit down as I do the same. I grabbed a plate of cookies belonging to Vivienne and watched her eat.

"Twank you, Moma." (Vivienne) says her thanks before chomping down on these sweet cookies.

"Also how much budget do we have left to be able to make a playground?"

"Would you like to build one?" (Ellis) raises his eyebrow looking a bit surprised. Truly the school almost has everything, but I don't think they've added a playground for the little ones to run around in.

"Yes, if Vivienne would ever want to go to school. I would like her to have a place she can play in with her future classmates." I wanted ones that were similar back on earth, not only playgrounds build your kid's stamina and health, they also get tired when they get back home.

Meaning late nights of trying or forcing them to sleep is gone.

"We should have enough... but it would only get us the cheap materials to build it." (Ellis)

"That won't do... I want the safest constructed playground there will be." I tell him not wanting to have cheap materials over at my public academy.

Cheap materials are not safe and knowing how children can get rowdy or even chaotic- they'll be breaking everything in a week. "Thankfully I have something to donate and then auction."

I remembered that I can give them the wyvern flame I've absorbed with the escort mission from before. "I'll give it to you before we leave."

The wyvern flames I've saved up in the cursed sword can be placed in a special jar, specifically for wyverns. Expensive it may be, still useful and I believe I had one of those being prepared and all.

Sadly there's no jars that can handle the fire of a dragon, it's rumored to be that once her flame touches you, you'll be cursed to turn into ashes and then have your soul roam around the dungeons of the demon lands.

A jar that can store dragon's breath would definitely make my job a lot easier to get that heart.

"Nom... Nom nom." (Vivienne) was down to her last cookie. She grabs her water and starts drinking it. "Pah!"

She gives a little satisfying sound before putting down the glass cup with a satisfying clunk.

"Ah Vivienne you have crumbs all over you." I take a handkerchief from my [Storage Ring] wiping all of the crumbs that were on the side of her cheek. The little grin she made for me was really cute, even Ellis couldn't help but pat his little niece on the head.

"Hah..."

"Milady's daughter is adorable... I wasn't aware that Milady Hills is so..."

"Soft?"

"Caring, Handsome, considerate?"

"Oh my all of the above!"

"Have you seen her handsome butler and the vice principal?!"

The four of us at the table couldn't help but hear what they were saying about us in the other tale. It was mostly how they couldn't believe that after my reputation as the wild child of the Baron, who's been adopted into the family.

They're seeing my soft side that I don't let out often which is nice.

Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their time touring the place, we even showed how the bathrooms worked and they were bewildered with the sewer system Peter thought of.

Peter being Veronica's wife that built the school and provided the blueprint, his many dreams of the other world and his stories were from earth.

Some of his knowledge was quite helpful in building the academy that I wanted.

In anycase, the parents bid their goodbyes and thanks to me as they left once the sun's position dawned low. "Milady! We will be enrolling our children here!"

"Thank you for the tour and lunch!"
