Chapter 170: chapter 170- Grandmother And Grandson(ll)
"Alright, We've been talking for so long, and without realizing it, the afternoon is almost over; what do you want to do next, son? Do you want to go immediately?"
Said The queen after talking to Taufik for a few hours, which made the Queen express all kinds of emotions, from anger, sadness, happiness, and regret. regret that she was not there when it all happened.
"...That's was the plan"
"Can you at least stay for a night? If it is not okay, then dinner, just for dinner, how does it sound?"
Said the Queen with a slightly pleading tone, and Taufik, who heard that, of course, could not ignore it because the one in front of him was not just his grandmother but also the Queen of a kingdom.
Taufik then remembers what Sylph told him before, that he can take his time if it comes to Banaspati matters.
"... Alright~ For you, I will stay here for one night, are you happy?"
Hearing this, the Queen smiled sweetly and immediately embraced Taufik in her arms.
"... Of course I'm Happy... Of course, I'm more than happy"
Said the Queen as she released her hug and then placed both her hands on Taufik's shoulders and looked at him still with the same smile.
"Now, Should we get out? If we don't get out now, your cousins and uncles who are outside might start destroying things"
*Noise! Noise!! Noise!!!*(it's from Outside)
"Pfft~ Ahaha~ You're Right, we should Get out right away"
Said Taufik, who was laughing while hearing the noise from Outside; he, who had an Enhanced sense, was Impossible not to hear the Noise from outside, which came from Amanda, Caldwell, and their Father, William.
Taufik thought this was funny because Taufik could feel the anxiety from how they interacted (argued) while Taufik and the Queen were inside chatting very comfortably, like how a grandson and a grandmother should chat.
-----------
"This can be avoided as long as you told us earlier, all of this will not happen as long as you are honest with us from the start"
Amanda said, raising her voice a little because she felt angry.
"Young lady, watch your tone, you are talking to your father, that is not how I taught you"
Reply William.
"... You always like this, you-"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three of them immediately stopped arguing and looked at the open door at the same time.
"Why are you guys making so much noise? That is not how I taught you all"
""Lil bro/bro""
Amanda and Caldwell said at the same time and directly came to Taufik while William approached The Queen.
"Are you okay, Lil bro?"
"... What with that question? Of course, I'm Okay, what possible Grandma can do to me?"
""Grandma?""
Said Amanda and Caldwell at the same time again, who were surprised when Taufik called the Queen "Grandma." It was natural for Taufik to call The Queen "Grandma" because he was the grandson of the Queen too, but they didn't expect it to happen this soon. This made them look at the queen.
"Queen Mother, why are your eyes swollen? Do you cry?"
"Why? Why if I cry? I'm Human, too. Can't I cry?"
"... No, I was wrong, Mother"
"Queen Mother"
"... Yes... Queen... Mother"
Seeing what was happening in front of them, Caldwell and Amanda immediately looked towards Taufik.
"What are you doing? What happened inside, Lil bro?"
"Nothing... We're just talking only that, and nothing more"
"... It can't be just that, seeing how grandma is, it's definitely more than just "talking" Be honest with me, bro, what trick did you use?"
"What Trick? we were really just talking"
"..."
"..."
Amanda and Caldwell looked at Taufik with a slightly disbelieving look; according to them, melting the Queen's heart couldn't be done just by "talking," so they believed Taufik must have done something.
"What with that look? I really didn't do something special, stop loo-
Said Taufik, but he stopped when the Queen suddenly pulled his hands.
... Eh? Grandma? Wait! Where are we going?"
"What do you mean? We don't have much time left until the dinner is ready, so let's change places because I still have many things that I want to share with you, so let's make good use of the little time we have to the fullest"
"Eh? I thought you were busy...don't you?"
Taufik asked, remembering what the Queen had said to William earlier when she told him to get out of the room.
"Oh~ That? Fufu~ I just say things to make him come out, so you don't have to worry about that, let's Go"
said the queen with a happy smile on her face and walked while dragging Taufik, leaving William, Amanda, and Caldwell behind.
"..."
Hearing this, they all fell silent, with William not believing that his mother could be like this; Caldwell and Amanda were stunned because they had never seen their grandmother this happy before, and Taufik was wondering.
'... Can a Queen, behave like this?'
--------------
- After Dinner.
After dinner is finished, The Queen leaves while saying that she will be back later; she's still a queen, after all, so she can't leave her seat vacant for too long.
Taufik right now was in the room he had arranged for, and of course, Amanda and Caldwell were also there.
Amanda and Caldwell were sitting on the couch while sipping tea, and Taufik was sitting on the corner of the bed while looking at the two of them.
"... Why you're here again? Is my room like a gathering place for you guys?"
Ask Taufik, but get no answers from the two of them.
"..."
"... Where are you going tomorrow, Lil bro?"
Amanda asked back like Taufik's previous questions were nonexistent. This makes Taufik have to Massage his nose Bridge while saying.
"... answer my questions first before you ask back... Please?"
"Don't be so stiff like that, shouldn't you be happy to be reunited with your cousin whom you haven't seen for a long time? Sooo~ where are you going Tomorrow?"
"*Sigh* Whatever... Tomorrow I will be going to Russia... why? Want to join?"
"Russia? Hmm~ No, I'll just wait for yo-"
"I want...
said Caldwell, who had been silent all this time listening to Taufik and Amanda's conversation while enjoying his tea.
... can I?"
Said Caldwell again, which made Taufik and Amanda look at him.
"... I didn't say you can't, but are you sure? What I'm Gonna do is quite Dangerous, you see. Are you gonna be fine? I mean, I'm not underestimating you, but are you sure you'll be okay?"
"Pfft~ Hahaha~ You heard that, brothers? Let me translate it for you if you didn't understand what our little bro was trying to say; he said that you are just too weak to be able to follow him. Hahaha~"
"..."
Hearing that, Caldwell felt silent; no, it's more like he Ignored her and just looked at Taufik.
"... It's not me who's weak, bro, you're just too strong... in the Supranatural world only a few people can fight with me head-on, and you can count the people who can beat me on one hand...
Said Caldwell, then paused for a while to have a better look at Taufik.
... And now it's increased by one after you appear"
"... How can you be this strong?"
Caldwell added.
What he said before might be half true and half false, it was true that there were only a few people in the supernatural world who could fight Caldwell head-on and only a few people could defeat him, but that was only from the known data, because there were still many other powerful figures who hid themselves from the outside world and continued to hone themselves to reach the peak of strength, so it was half true and half false.
"... If so? Then you can follow me tomorrow; what about you, Amanda?"
"I'll just wait for you here, you two can do what boys like to do"
"Alright...
After that, they talked about many things until midnight before Amanda and Caldwell decided to go back to their respective rooms.
-----------
- Mid Night, Taufik Room, In Balcony.
Taufik did not sleep after Amanda and Caldwell went to their room, it was not because he did not want to rest, he did not even need to rest, he remained awake because from the beginning he entered this room he felt that someone was watching him, but he ignored it because he did not feel any bad intentions from that person.
"It's Only me here, you can get out Now?"
"..."
"*Sigh* what are you doing up there? Go down now or should I do that on my own?"
"..."
There are still no answers; if Someone Saw Taufik right now, they probably would think Taufik had a problem in his head for Talking to no one in the middle of the night.
And just like that, One minute passed, and that person still didn't show himself.
This tests Taufik's patience and makes him annoyed.
"... I'll count to three, if you don't show yourself, I will-"
"Haha~ You're Indeed Amazing; since when did you realize my presence? I thought I hid my existence pretty well"
"Pretty well? who are you trying to fool?"
"*ugh* How can you say such a harsh word to you... "
