Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)-Chapter 218 78:

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

The time has arrived for the little miss of the noble house of Hills to take her playtime with the royal family. Alfred has told the little miss that they'll be leaving together for a little trip.

"Young miss, Master Hills, your grandfather has asked me to accompany you as your servant and a few guards into visiting the palace."

"Mommy! Mommy! Whooo!" (Vivienne) jumped up and down on her bed.

The surprise has reached the girl, being told that she's going to visit the place once more to see the crown princess.

Crown Princess Rosarie von Goldheart, her mommy.

Excited she was, she couldn't sleep.

That night she was told of the news, she pulls her blanket up to cover her body smiling so widely and then giggling thinking of seeing her other mother again to play with her. "Hehehe!"

Roll... roll...

And then rolling on the sheets of the soft bed that the maids had carefully prepared.

"Ah!"

Successfully turning into a small burrito before getting stuck and then falling into a sense of peace giving Zzz.

Baron Hills peaked in her room slightly to see if her granddaughter were sleeping. After hearing from Alfred that the girl couldn't wait to see the crown princess, he expect to hear a lot more squeaking but to his surprise-

"Zzz... Whew..."

A soft snore could be heard, opening the door some more the light showed her burrito state.

"I can't believe she can sleep like that so comfortably." He mutters with a smile watching over his granddaughter. Somehow, after having his wife rest early ascending to the afterlife it felt like a part of himself was missing but...

Now that he has a daughter and granddaughter of his own, to care, spoil and teach things about life.

It felt like the hole in his heart was filling in.

He walks towards the burrito wrapped girl and places her by the middle of the bed putting two pillows by the edges so she doesn't fall off.

"Goodnight, Vivienne. I'm so glad to have you as part of the family."

He pats her soft blonde hair a few times before closing the door and heading off to sleep in his own room. A man with a soft heart towards children, a spoiling grandfather he was and Kein was lucky to have found him.

.-.-.-.-.

The time came for Alfred and Vivienne to go. The little girl spent her time preparing, looking so pretty and prim.

With the help of her maids that were tasked to take care of her, she wore the best dress they bought for the occasion and some shoes that were supposed to have a mother-daughter pair.

Baron Hills stands firm outside of their estate, he kneels in and hugs his granddaughter not even caring if the servants of his estate were watching.

All of them smiled seeing the noble who was willing to dirty some of his clothes just to get on his level for a hug. Most noble houses would just firmly shake their children's hands and leave it at that.

"Now, remember please be on your best behavior, make sure no boys get near and you eat up to your fill of any desserts you want." (Baron Hills) might have hugged a bit longer making the trip delayed.

"Gwampa sad?" (Vivienne) who was hugging his soft hearted grandfather back asked and pouted.

"Oh grandpa is not sad. He's happy you'll be getting to see your other mom but it will be lonely in the estate." He tells her honestly and Vivienne shakes her head thinking why couldn't her grandpa just come with him to see mommy too?

"Gwanpa come with?"

"Grandpa can't do that either, your blonde haired mother left her unfinished work for me to be drowned upon. When she comes back I'll propose a picnic..." He stops his words, thinking about saying four.

Alfred, Vivienne, Kein and him.

He smiles remembering that he might be getting a new daughter too soon.

"A picnic for the five of us as a family." (Baron Hills) thought of an image of the five of them, having the crown princess joyfully laughing while laying on the ground.

She's already called Baron Hills as father in a letter so what else can he do? It seems he's accepted the princess as part of the Hills legacy.

Princess Rosarie clearly cares for his daughter and that was enough for him to accept the girl as family.

Slowly the Baron is also accepting the fact that he's getting old and now he's witnessing youngsters love and grow.

"Gwanpa no sad, I will come back!" (Vivienne) pulls Baron Hill's sleeve and the old man laughs feeling assured that his little girl won't be going anywhere else.

He breaks their hug looking so sad that he tries his best not to show it on his face before turning to Alfred. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

? "Ahem. Alfred I'll be counting on you to see to it that she'll be safe upon your departure." He tells him to place his hands behind his back, trying to control his grandfatherly protectiveness by hugging her once more.

The butler with a serious stern look bows his head slightly being given the instruction. "Of course, Master Hills. I will keep the young miss safe and out of trouble."

Baron Hills takes something out of his [Storage Ring] quickly giving it to Alfred. "Give this to the crown princess personally if you see her, a reply to her letter to me."

The letter lands on Alfred's hands. He takes it quickly, putting it inside safely on a secret pocket of his vest.

"I'm thankful that she gave me more than I should receive. I hope this letter of thanks will make it equal." (Baron Hills)

"Certainly I will make sure to deliver it to the crown princess in one piece." (Alfred) bows opening the carriage door for Vivienne.

Vivienne looks towards the open carriage door and frowns, feeling that her grandfather will be sad if she leaves.

Baron Hills, noticing her hesitance, quickly fixes himself and encourages her to go. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

"Vivienne, don't worry about me. I'll see you when you come back home so grandpa isn't all that sad anymore." He pats her head one last time before she leaves. "Say hi to mommy for me."

Vivienne's eyes light up and hold the Baron in place by his pants pouncing on it.

"Okie gwampa I go! No sad! I come home soon promise!" She reassured the old man who held a hand over his heart seeing the little one run off in her own giggling trying to step up inside the carriage.

"Hngh! Hngh..." (Vivienne) was unable to do so thanks to her small figure.

"...Let me help you up the carriage, young miss please don't force yourself if you can't get in."

"Ah... Twank you."

Alfred proceeds to help her, gently carrying her by the arm. Soon both of them were inside as the coachman signaled the horses to get going for the trail.

"Hyah!"

The sound of whips being slashed and the voice of the coachman telling them to go, the horses neighed as their hoofs left print on ground leaving the estate.

Clack... Clack.. Clack.

The prized horses that Baron Hills possessed will be the one to escort the little girl to the palace. They were all trained military horses that knows on what to do when danger may arise.

They were accompanied with the same guards stationed by the gained, four trained veteran knights had their own personal horses making sure of Vivienne's safety.

"Horsie!"

The girl called out putting her face near the glass, peeking out at the lovely otherworldly scenery they have.

From the green countryside to the capital city. Until they arrived at the busy parts of it before seeing the palace in full view. The guards immediately opened the gates seeing the crest marked onto the carriage door.

A dove carrying a rose, unmistakably it was the Hill's family crest and they were well aware a guest from there was coming to visit instructed by the princesses. The guards that came to the trip were in awe of how beautiful the outside of the palace looked.

Several servants and knights came at the ready to greet their guest, curious to see if it was Lady Kein Hills the next heir of the estate or Baron Hills rumored to be in favor with the royals.

Alfred was the first one to come out of the carriage opening the door.

"Hehehe!"

A little goblin figure came out of the carriage, making everyone surprised. Some recognized the girl from the last time she was there and some didn't.

Unforgettable blonde hair, light gray silver eyes and a cheeky little smile. They all were in awe, because the last time she was there all she wore was simple commoner clothes.

Now that she has new ones given by her grandfather, one could say she looks even fit to be part of the royal family.

"Hewwo! Good morning!" (Vivienne) greets the servants and by surprise their body stiffened forgetting the role that they have. They were supposed to greet first before the little miss could.

"Goodmorning, young miss." They all bowed their heads in sync and Vivienne felt weird having all of these people bow their heads to a little girl who's only priority was to eat, sleep, drink and get cuddles from the people she loves.

"Vivienne!" (Rose) exclaims not even bothering to hide the happiness and excitement upon seeing her daughter just right outside this so-called home of hers.

"!!!" (Vivienne) notices Rose's figure not too far getting her attention because she called her name.

"Mo-!"

"Ahem. Apologies, I must've gotten a sore throat." Alfred, knowing that children can't keep their mouths shut, coughs and interrupts the little girl before she could be able to say mommy out loud.
