Chapter 187: Different Kind Of Plays

Arlan and Lenard witnessed what was going on between the three. When they saw Drayce putting a hairpin in Seren's hair, both were surprised.

"He has changed a lot," Lenard commented.

Arlan agreed, "A good change indeed."

Lenard thought about something, "I can't believe he is the same person once I was scared to even look at. I wonder if she will see his other side, will she be able to handle it."

"Rest assured. She herself doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. If there is someone who can handle his other side, that person must be only her," Arlan replied.

Arlan had witnessed so many things about Seren. He didn't know what kind of person she was or what kind of powers she had but he was sure there was something extraordinary about her just like his dear friend Drayce.

He had seen flowers blooming because she was happy. Though it was impossible to believe, there was no other explanation. Moreover, he had witnessed his friend's extraordinary powers before, so it was not difficult for him to believe in the existence of any supernatural thing. But he never thought there was someone else too who was like his friend, and that person will eventually be the Queen of Megaris.

"I believe if fate has brought them together, that means they are meant to be."

"Hmm," Lenard agreed.

Drayce looked back at Seren, who was looking at him. The smile on his face was still the same, which appeared when he talked with Rayjin.

Seren Averted her sight from him and acted as if she looked around the market to see what more was there. She could still feel her heart beating faster, and this scary man was the reason for it. This time, the only difference she felt was her heart was not affected by his scariness but by seeing his gentle side.

Drayce put Rayjin down, and they walked ahead. Drayce saw Arlan and Lenard looking at them from a distance and didn't fail to notice meaningful smiles on both of their faces that meant to tease him.

"Dray, are we going to the lake today?" Rayjin asked while walking with him.

"Do you want to go there?" Drayce asked her back.

Rayjin nodded excitedly, "Seren would also like to go there just like I do."

"As you wish," Drayce said, and they accompanied Arlan and Lenard.

Walking, they came in front of one luxurious-looking building, and Rayjin exclaimed, "I want to go there."

Everyone looked at where she pointed, and it was an opera house.

Arlan looked at her, "Little lady, kids are not allowed there."

Rayjin pouted, "Why? I want to go there. Even my mother and father had gone there. Once I heard them talking. They didn't take me with them." Her face became even sadder.

"When you are a bit older, you can go there," Arlan said.

"I want to go now," she insisted and folded her hands in front of her chest firmly and still had those pouting expressions.

Lenard whispered to Arlan, "During the day, plays are normal. Isn't she allowed?"

"Rules are rules, and as Royals here, we should not be the ones to break them," Arlan replied in a firm tone which Rayjin should understand.

Drayce patted upset little Lady's head, "Rayjin if we go there now, we can't go to the Lake. Don't you want Her Majesty to visit the lake?" Drayce asked.

Rayjin stopped pouting and looked at Seren. "But she must want to see the Opera house just like me."

"My Queen, do you wish to visit the Opera house?" Drayce asked as he looked at her.

Seren didn't understand why they couldn't take Rayjin to the opera house, but as others didn't want to take her there, she wanted the same, thinking it must not be good for her.

"I like visiting the lake most," Seren replied.

"Umm...Fine then. We will go to the lake," Rayjin finally agreed.

As expected of Drayce, his innocent but smart wife could understand the situation really well and decide accordingly. They finally left the place to visit more places in the market.

Seren was still thinking about why Rayjin couldn't visit the Opera house. She had visited the one in Abetha with her brother, and everything seemed fine to her. But there too she didn't see any kids inside the Opera house and the reason she didn't understand.

The young Queen had just seen the normal play as Cian was careful of what he could show his innocent sister and made arrangements accordingly, so she was not aware of why kids were not allowed there.

Arlan and Lenard walked ahead, and they took Rayjin with them.

"My Queen, have you visited the Opera house before?" Drayce asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. But only once," she replied.

It surprised Drayce. He thought her nanny must have taken her there but then thought how come she was not aware of anything. She must have seen plays that showed the affection between two people, and most of the time, they showed the intimacy between the two people. Her nanny would surely not show her what this innocent woman couldn't handle but still….

"May I know what kind of play you have seen?" Drayce asked, expecting to hear something exciting, but he didn't know it would be something opposite.

"It was about a little girl and her lost pet and how her family helps her," she replied.

"Did you enjoy it, My Queen?"

Seren nodded, "Even brother Cian liked it," she replied, remembering those happy memories with her brother.

Now Drayce understood that Cian was the one to take her there and couldn't help but smile. 'That smart brother showed her some kid's play. Very well. She can watch other plays with me.'

"Other than that, there are different kinds of plays. I will make sure my Queen watches them all once we go to Megaris," Drayce informed.

Seren could only nod, not knowing what kind of plays Drayce referred to.

Just then, they heard one more demand from the little lady Rayjin, "Uncle Lenard, I want that doll."

Lenard, who was holding her hand, could only comply with the demands of the little lady and walked towards where she dragged him. Rayjin stopped and ran back to Seren, "Seren, come with me."

Seren looked at Drayce, and he replied, "I told you, you are free to do whatever you like, My Queen."

With a slight nod, she left with Rayjin while Arlan accompanied his friend.

"Do you want me to book an entire opera house for you tonight?" Arlan asked.

"No need," Drayce replied as his eyes were fixed on his queen, who was standing with Rayjin in the toy shop.

"But you look like you want to."

"Hmm," Drayce agreed and said, "But it's not the right time. I have already scared her enough."

"Did you show her the devil inside you or what?" Arlan asked casually, not knowing it was the case.

Drayce nodded, "Something like that.
