Chapter 12
"Waaaaaaaaaahhhh"
"M-moommmyyyyyy ~"
"*Burps*"
Our eyes widened, t-wait why are there children? Two girls and a- why are they so familiar ????
The two girls were crying and the other one was just staring as if she didn't have a boyfriend. This behavior- "Don"t tell me…"
"Thyria! What did you do again ?! " I immediately turned to my older brother and swallowed. "You turned them into a child !?"
They looked like 3-year-old right now. It is not known that this is what will happen when you make a mistake in the chant.
"H-h-I don"t know! I just thought the chant was familiar so I decided to chant it too, maybe I just got the word wrong so it turned out like this. " I responded immediately.
"They"re Princess Lamia, Prince Lyford and Lady Nyphele right?" Fallon asked and lifted one of them, it was princess Lamia.
Princess Lamia stopped crying and Nyphele just kept shouting. Seriously, is this what Nyphele"s mother had to suffer everyday when Nyphe was young?
"Great- wait…. Are we back in our bodies? " now that kuya said it, it looks like he's right. We are back in our bodies.
"And at least we're back, aren't we?" my older brother immediately hit me on the head, he wasn't in pain.
"And another mess is made now, how can we bring them back as an adult? Princess Lamia also became a child. She"s the only expert we have. " The complaint is older.
The three children are obviously naked right now because they suddenly became children and their outfits are now too large for them.
"I will try to come back-"
"Nope, maybe what will you do to them. What if you turned them into animals next? What are we going to do?" I was blown away by my older brother's answer.
Kuya walked towards Nyphe and loaded it, Fallon took Lyf who hadn't had a pack before and was just quiet.
Lyf was also quiet even as a child.
"What"s the shouting all about? A student heard saying that this room was haunted. They said they heard a child cry- WHAT HAPPENED !? " Headmaster Ares asked in shock.
"Ehehehe" Headmaster Ares looked at me. "Good news is we have returned to him his body. Bad news… is um… Princess Lamia, Prince Lyf and Lady Nyphele turned into a child. " I answered immediately.
His eyes widened and he almost fainted from what he heard. "Ngnnhhh WAAAAAAAAAA" we turned to Lyf at the same time who suddenly cried.
Since Fallon is carrying the two of them, Lyf seems to hate being beside Lamia. Wow, even though he's young now, he still doesn't like his step sibling.
Does he hate her that much? It's not obvious but looking at it right now, it looks like that's the case. I immediately approached Fallon.
"Prince Lyf is mine." I said to Fallon, he seems to be having a hard time so he just gave Lyf to me. "Hello princey- don't cry."
"What are we going to do now??? The higher ups are really suspicious of us satin today. " Confused says Headmaster Ares.
"Do something about it, we'll take care of the kids first" Headmaster Ares' eyes widened at his older brother's response.
"What !? Why am I always there? How about- "
"Well do you want to take care of the kids then?" After the older brother said that, Headmaster Ares looked at Princess Lamia…
Calm down, next is Lyf who has no emotions and last is Nyphe. That looks super bad on everyone.
"F-fine, it's up to you. But please don"t let this go on, I"m running out of excuses. " Headmaster Ares sighed in defeat and said goodbye.
I stared at Lyf now who was just super chill, OMG HE"S CUTE- AND I"M TOUCHING AND HUGGING HIM FREELY RIGHT NOW.
I squeezed his cheek, super duper fluffy really. I almost just want to hug him forever because of his softness.
Not only that he also smells coffee! "What are we going to do? We"re going to take care of them? " Fallon asked.
"Nyphele will be with Dethyria-" before finishing what her older brother was going to say, Nyphele suddenly cried.
"NO NO NO!" he shouted loudly. Oh wow they can talk? I didn't expect Nyphe to stay with her older brother as a child.
So she really like him despite being a child? And she hates being with me? It's so bad I haven't had a shower since birth.
"O-ok, you"ll stay with me. W-don't cry. " Kuya calms Nyphe down. Kuya immediately looked at Fallon.
"Is it ok for you to take the princess?" older brother asked Fallon, Fallon nodded.
"I can take the prince too." Fallon responded. Napanguso naman ako, aw sayang. I would love to take care of Prince Lyf but it looks like the older brothers have already decided.
I would have liked to complain in case I remembered that I was the cause of it. Kuya might smack me so I'm just quiet.
"Ok baby Lyf, be there with Lord Fallon first ah-" I would have given Lyf to Fallon in case Lyf suddenly tightened his grip on me.
"What happened? Give him to Lord Fallon already, close to nightfall. Maybe they will cry again. " Kuya said in a low voice.
"U-Uhm, Baby Lyf… you can let me go-"
"Ngnnhhh… *sniff *" my eyes widened because his eyes were already red, it seems like he"s going to cry.
He still wouldn't let me go. "Looks like the prince is staying with Lady Dethyria." Lord Fallon said when he saw what Lyf had done.
"Ok, big sister will stay with baby Lyf ok? Do not Cry."
Lamia is like the calmest of them all, she just chills with Fallon. Nyphele keeps glaring at us when her older brother and I approach her.
And Lyf won"t let me go. And all… we"re still here in Headmaster Ares "room, we"re trying to sneak them out of our dorm.
We are still waiting for the Headmaster's signal. Fortunately we don"t have classes tomorrow, it"s still not weekend but suddenly there are no classes.
I think Headmaster Ares decided? Tas approved by higher ups. It means that there aren"t too many people open at the academy.
It"s also means we will find a solution to turn them into adults again, we don"t have the experience in child care.
"Brother, are you sure you will take care of Nyphe? She"s the loudest of the bunch. " I commented to my brother, he sighed and shrugged.
"She doesn't cry when I don't let her go." Kuya answered, I sneered again. I will surely tease Nyphele about it.
"I want food! Food ~ eeeeeyyeeeeee. Older brother! " I looked at Fallon, Lamia is pulling his hair right now.
I realized that they could talk, because before, they were just crying. "Y-Yes Prncess, when we get back. We will have many food- "
"No! older brother I want it now! " it's really good that I'm taking care of Lyf now, he's just quiet and just staring.
I sighed and ignored them, I stared at Lyf who"s busy looking at where. I saw his little white wings.
I slowly touched it, I felt his flinch. Then he looked at me with angry eyes, I don't know if I will laugh or be scared.
He was cute because, "Oh sorry, I just thought your wings are the most beautiful ones I saw." I said poke his fluffy cheeks at the same time.
"…" He just stared at me and continued to look where. I continued touching his wings and he let me go.
I don"t know but I feel so blessed right now, I never thought I wanted to see his baby self-right now. "Brotheeeerrrrr-"
At the same time, Lyf turned to us and shouted, it was Lamia. Lamia ran up to us and tried to climb on my lap where Lyf was.
I don't know but Lyf pushed Lamia with a glare at her step-sibling. "A-ah, Prince Lyf. That"s mean, don"t push the princess. " Worried I said.
So as Lamia started crying again, Fallon calmed her down. "Brother * hic * so mean! Older brother Fallon- my brother is so mean! "
Lamia cried loudly, I sighed and looked at Lyf who still looked very bad at his crying brother. I can"t believe I"m seeing this-
He"s acting so childish, but… he"s young so maybe he"s allowed? Sometimes I wonder if this is really their baby personality or adult personality.
Or mixed? Is that possible? Well maybe they are not conscious of what they are doing now, they are indeed in their child mind.
You don't mean Lyf like that, because he would prefer to act mature than act like a child. "Prince Lyf, don"t be like that. That's bad, especially for your brother. "
I just told him, he looked up and looked at me. "I-I'm…" I stopped because he suddenly spoke.
"I'm mean?" I heard a small crack in his voice, the one who seems to be about to cry again? Seriously, do kids really cry?
"H-ha? Well yes- "I didn't finish what I was going to say because he suddenly sniffed. OMG how is that? I"m not a baby expert- "I mean n-nO!"
So I just sighed. "I mean is, don"t push people ok. That's bad, instead talk to them and explain ok? "
"I hate her." My mouth fell open at what he said. Oh ???? OH ???
"Why? Your sister didn"t do anything bad ah? " he didn't answer and sniffed again. "Try to get along-
"No." I never forced him and just coaxed him not to be upset anymore. If I were to compare who would cry for them.
It would be Lyf, he cried when you said something wrong. Headmaster Ares arrived a few minutes later and we went to him his dorm.
Of course I went back to the dorm with Lyf, Nyphe is with older brother and Lamia is with Fallon.
(Tomorrow)
"What the- ano !? What ?! Why me?!" I asked my older brother and Fallon, confused. "Why should I take care of the three of them now !?"
"I"m really sorry Lady Dethyria, I have something to do today. I don"t know about training now- but don"t worry. I'll be right back. "-Fallon.
"I have a meeting with the higher ups, I still need to get through. It"s also your fault, don"t you think you deserve this? " -Kuya.
"What !? I swear if something happens to them, it's your fault- wait, won't they cry? How am I going to calm them? You are the only one who calms them down. "
I argued, I'm here now in my dorm. Suddenly Fallon and older brother came to make me babysit Lamia and Nyphe.
"Don't worry, Princess Lamia will calm down when you give her food." Fallon said.
"Lady Nyphele will calm down with cat or stuffed toys so just give it to her." Kuya also said.
"But-"
"Just take them to the park or something. I really need to leave, we'll get back to you right away. " Older brother said goodbye and gave Nyphe over.
It looks like the older brother said something to Nyphe that made Nyphe nod. Fallon too, he gave me Lamia. Teka isn"t this torture?
"Promise Lady Dethyria, we'll be back before you know it." Fallon also said goodbye, when he closed the door I looked at the three children.
Who are currently staring at me with curiosity. Seriously, are they sure my ones are safe?
"Ah Princess don't run, when you run I won't give you candy!" I shouted loudly at Lamia, I immediately looked at Nyphe who"s currently climbing in a tree-
"Nyphele! Pot- "I was almost scornful because of the shock. "Violet won't come to you when you scold her!"
By the way, we are here in the school park, it's really good and there are only a few students and people. We will just arrive.
But Lamia ran to the playground and Nyphe tried to climb on a tree. Lyf was the only one left holding my hand.
He"s silent yet clingy, Nyphe"s silent too kaso pasaway and Lamia? She"s really the talkative one and reprimanding as well.
Grabe- I should remind myself not to have kids in the future? I don't like children. This is clearly torture for me.
Fortunately, Nyphe followed, she played with Lamia in the playground now. Lyf is still by my side.
Their wings are really cute, it's a good thing they haven't been able to fly at this age. I would be chasing them to heaven anyway.
I just sat on the bench with Lyf, it"s been a few hours but I finally managed. "Here." I turned to Lyf who gave me a candy.
I was immediately touched- only Lyf was really obedient to the three of them, besides don he"s also behaved and kind.
Gosh if only Lyf adult edi was like this we would have been happy bonding. "Aweee Lyf babyyy so cute, thankyouuu ~"
I said once hugging him tightly. He didn't take my face away, he usually hates hugging. Especially when I'm the one hugging him.
Yesterday, he looked so bad, it's still cute to look at. I also can't stop my self from hugging him ok? But he let me now.
We have a development together! It's a pity because he's not the real Lyf. He"s baby Lyf right now.
But it's up to you and at least we developed her baby self.
"So you have children now? Grabe… you stoop so low. "
I knew that voice, it was from my cousin"s. Wait, is this witch here? Shouldn"t she be with my lazy aunt?
"Are you stupid? Do I look like someone who"d have kids in a couple of months? " because I'm in a bad mood right now, I can't help but answer my cousin.
"Wh-what ?! Hah, you're still fake. Without other people, you act like a b*tch! " annoyed he answered me.
It's his fault, isn't it? Is it my fault that he was the first? "Who caused me to be fake? Isn't your mother just going to swallow? "
"I will tell mother about this-" Lux didn't finish what he was going to say because suddenly someone threw sand at him. "Ack- ew the f-ck ?!"
Nyphe threw the sand, Lamia who"s following what Nyphe did immediately followed. My eyes widened when Lux raised his hand to hurt Lamia.
"What? You"re hurting kids now? " I held his hand. "If you hurt them, I'll be the first to meet you."
She backed away and left, I"m sure she"s going to tell her mother. But he has no evidence…
"Are you all right?" worried I asked Nyphe and Lamia. They immediately nodded.
"Big sister is so strong!" -Lamia.
"Mnn!" -Nyphe.
"Next time be careful ok?" smiling I said at once pat on their heads. "But if they're as mean as that lady, throw a lot."
They nodded at the same time. I just smile at them and they keep raising their hands.
"Lady Dethyria! Are you all right? I kind of saw… "we looked at the same time and it was Fallon. Looks like he just finished.
I just shrugged and nodded. "Yeah, that f*cker can't do anything." I'm still in a bad mood-
So I didn't realize that I was cheap. I immediately covered my mouth and slowly looked at the kids.
"Phacker?" -Lamia
"Fawker !!!" -Nyphe
"F*cker." -Lyf
"Dethryia Javier… what else did you teach the kids ?!" my eyes widened when my older brother also suddenly arrived. Tek-
THE PANGET OF KUYA'S TIMING! BUT I'M ALSO IN A BAD MOOD- MY BROTHER CAN'T STOP ME!
"Because I'm not a role-model brother ok? If I hadn't been preceded by the potanginang bru- "Fallon immediately covered my mouth.
"Don"t cuss in front of the children! You are a really bad influence. " The older brother said, Nyphe raised her hands and lifted the older brother.
"Stop it!" Lamia said loudly, brother glared at me so I ran closer to Lyf and laughed.
Fallon carried Lamia just a while ago shouting bad words because of me. "P-princess, don't say that." Fallon worriedly said.
"What is packer, brother?" I looked at Nyphe because of her question, besides I was bothered by what she said ‘brother"
"What? You let Nyphe call you that? Kuya aren"t you a little biased? I am your real brother yet you allow someone to call you that? " my complaint.
"Shut up Thyria, you're big. what are you jealous of there. " I just blushed. I swear, he"s been more caring to Nyphele lately.
I immediately remembered what happened in the cave when we did the soul switch. He wasn"t even concerned with his brother. Instead to Nyphe he immediately approached.
"I… I will be your brother." Lyf said weakly. "Don't be sad, big sister." My face immediately lit up at what Lyf said and I hugged him again.
Hays, baby Lyf is still fine. Concern me, not like my older brother who is really my blood relative.
I slowly tucked Prince Lyf into the bed, I was exhausted. Grabe I should really remind myself not to have kids in the future.
Lyf was asleep and I finished dressing her as well. He"s fresh now but still smells like coffee, next to us sleeping.
Yesterday when we slept separately, Lyf suddenly cried in the middle of the night.
‘Master Dethyria." I turned to the speaker. ‘Greetings."
"Hello Grimm, how are you? Are you sorry for what happened to your boss? I didn"t mean to turn him into a child. " I feel for Grimm. "What are you doing here?"
Grimm sat down next to me. ‘I-I"m here to… tell you about master"s phobia condition." I was stunned by his answer.
"But isn"t that private?" I asked, she fiddled with her fingers and sighed.
‘I-I just wanted to get this off my chest. W-no one else knows the cause of her phobia other than her father. Lord Fallon and the Princess only know the surface. "-Grimm.
‘But they didn"t know what really happened and they chose not to ask. I know because I was there. "He added.
I listened quietly while looking at the sleeping Lyf. I never stopped Grimm about it.
‘Master… was punished for disobeying an order from his father. That is… asking for what happened to his mother. "My mouth fell open. Just for that?
Punished immediately? ‘The punishment is drowning him in a cold water, h-he almost drowned and died."
‘Since then he has followed all his father"s orders, he did his best to be the best for him too. He didn"t disappoint and continued to suffer in a cage. "
I didn't speak and comment, Lyf really had it worst. Looking for love from his father. ‘His father wasn"t like this before… he was a loving man."
‘We don"t know what happened, it started when he married another woman. He likes the Princess more than his own son. "I close my eyes.
‘Of course the princess doesn"t know anything about this and he didn"t talk to him about it either." He added.
Now I understand why he doesn"t like Lamia. "Thank you for telling me this." I said softly at the same time patting Grimm's head.
‘Please don"t tell him, I told you. I just think you"re the suitable and trusted person to know Master"s life. "-Grimm.
‘Since he opened up to you back then in the cave." I nodded. Once lying down next to Lyf and kissing her fluffy cheeks.
"Yes, Thank you Grimm. Promise I"ll take good care of him. "
(Someone"s POV)
Grimm was about to leave but suddenly someone spoke to him.
"Grimm, why did you tell her that?" Grimm stopped to look at the speaker, it was the 3-year-old Lyford.
He has the same expressionless eyes and he looks very cold. Even in the dark Grimm could see his boss's red eyes.
Grimm immediately bowed. ‘M-master, were you awake? A-and- ‘
"I"ve been awake for a long time and conscious too. I know what's going on. " Lyf answered coldly, Lyf stared at the sleeping Dethyria.
Who would have thought it was the adult Lyf who was stuck in a three -year -old body. Grimm thought his master was pretending to be a child.
‘P-sorry master, I told you what happened to you." Grimm nodded, Lyf got up and sat down next to Dethyria.
‘But master Dethyria can be trusted! I"m sure she won"t judge you like you say. "Grimm added.
"I know." Grimm was about to have the sigh of relief in case Lyf added. "But I didn't give you permission."
‘I will accept the punishment master." Grimm responded immediately, because she knows that tone. ‘But master, she"s worth it."
"…" Lyf didn't answer, he slowly reached out for Dethryia's hair and smelled it. Grimm didn"t even look because of Lyf"s scary look.
His eyes were bloodshot red and a glare would definitely make you shiver in fear. How can that be? A mere three-year-old can scare you to death?
‘Master, don"t you… fancy her?" Grimm said bravely. ‘I observed you with her, your eyes were lively p-when you were with her."
‘You even answered her more than usual, you also steal glances at her. K-so I told her about you. "Grimm added.
-It's up to me if I'm punished, and at least I express what I said.- Grimm said in his mind.
"…" Lyf didn't speak again and just continued to touch Deth's long hair. ‘Beautiful". It said in his mind and chose not to say it out loud.
‘Master, why don"t you… tell her?" After Grimm asked that, Lyf turned his gaze to his guarded spirit.
"No." Grimm's mouth fell open. And thought again -He will regret in the future. I"m sure of it-
"Don't tell her about me." -Lyf.
‘Master, what about lady Nyhpele and princess Lamia? Are they conscious too? "Grimm asked his boss who looked back at Deth.
"No, just me." Grimm didn't ask again and disappeared like a bubble. Lyf gritted his teeth.
What"s there to tell her? She wants to be free, if he were to keep her. She would probably be caged like him. So why drag her with him?
(Dethyria"s POV)
I lost consciousness when I felt something hard in my head.
"Huh?" his eyes got bigger… wait wait! "ARAY!" potangenang buhay! Lyf"s back in his form which is good but- HE"S NAKED RIGHT NOW. IM SLEEPING WITH A NAKED PERSON IN BED.
