Whoever said that being an infant was easy...they're probably wrong.
Those were some careless words thrown by folks who don't even remember their experience as an infant...since a brain of a human baby easily forgets.
My precious infant body itched badly from a need to move. I couldn't lie down to the side nor could I lie my face down. The only thing I could do, in the end was to lie down in the cradle and stare at the nanny and maids busying themselves with works.
"Nghgh" I'm hungry...
Nanny Miranda heard the strange but cute noise that I made.She smiled at me and came over.
"Don't worry,your higness. Your mother,the Queen will be probably here within a few minutes."
I just stared at my nanny blankly.
'I take it all back,I do not wish to eat anymore'
A week later,after I was born into this world. My mother, Rose would feed me her milk straight from her breast... and that left some scars in my heart.
Imagine drinking milk straight from your mothers breast in a form of a baby that had been living even before Hydros existed.
"ummmm" Yawn.
I yawned as I look at the ceiling boredly, a sudden sleepiness came over me.
My eyelids felt way to heavy.
"Greetings to His and Her Majesty, Emperor Marcus and Empress Rose de Espiranza."
"How's Dianne?Is she doing well,Miranda?"
I heard a familiar soft voice and suddenly, I was wide awake but regretted my decision thereafter.
I can feel my body float midair.My mothers hand envelop my body and brought me close to her chest.
"Is my baby Dianne hungry~" mother said in a child's voice with lips that are pouted out.
I slowly turned my head to avoid her stare, as I made an annoyed expression.
"Nghggh" I would like to have a decent food that I can eat,thank you very much.
"Seems like our Dianne is indeed hungry...Miranda , all of you, leave the Princess's room. We would like to have some privacy." father, the Emperor firmly said.
Nanny Miranda and all of the maids who are present in room bowed their heads and silently took their leave.
"Nghgg" No,I dont want to eat.
Rose slowly walked towards and sat at a nearby sofa, father followed.
My eyes widen when mother slowly lowered her dress's bodice.I couldn't help but to mentally curse.
I tried to push my head back as far as I could try as I might,but I can't even move a single muscle because of my current situation.I could not get away from her.
'Well...here goes nothing'
----
I wanted to die because of the embarassment that was circulating throughout my whole infant body. All I could do now was to stare blankly at my parents with my mouth half open at this crazy situation I'm currently into.
"Sweetheart I want to carry Dianne as well." Marcus gave my mother a puppy looking eyes, which I find creepy to be honest.
"Here you go."
Before I was able to comprehend what had occurred, the Emperor --- my father, Marcus quickly sat on the sofa beside my mother Rose and embraced me in his arms.
'I don't want to be a baby anymore...'
"Ummm" Sleep
I wanted to say something, tried so say something but could not. I had no teeth to begin with and all I could muster was a soft mumble.
The Emperor and Empress kept their eyes glued onto me.Then they both let out a cheerful chuckle.
"How adorable~" Rose praised
"Yes, yes." while Marcus nodded in reply.
I couldn't help but to sigh.Being a baby is tiring. I slowly closed my eyes and pretended that I was fast asleep.
'Shuu shuuu'
I could feel the loving stares coming from my parents. Father cuddles me over and over again until his aide --- Evans,gentle knocks were heard from the other side of my room. Proclaiming that there was an important letter from the holy capital of Physis that arrived today and is in need of immediate response.
With that,my father gently laid me down to my lovely little crib. Marcus and Rose gave me a soft peck on the cheeks before silently bidding their goodbye's.
'Finally'
----
The atmosphere inside the emperor's office was calm and quiet.However...the royal maids, as well as Marcus and Rose who sat at a sofa all wore a severe expression on their faces.
"This letter was personally made by Empress Violet y Rodriguez of Physis Empire,your majesties."
"Ahh yes,the co–founder of the Holy Capital of Physis."
Those mf priests of the holy capital had cause troubles of headaches, to both the Emperor and Empress.
Rose silently grabbed her husbands hand knowing that it will somewhat relieve the stress the King was feeling right now.
"Shall we read,what is the letter all about?" the empress softly said, while beaming a sweet smile to her emperor.
Marcus's tensed shoulders slowly relaxed,he nodded while eyeing down the royal letter placed on the table. Rose,slightly bended her upper body before grabbing the letter.
"Here you go sweetheart." she gently handed it to her husband who was looking at her lovingly. Hearts can be seen in the mans face.
Marcus opened the letter and started reading the contents.Minutes later... veins started popping on the emperors forehead.
"Oh dear, are you okay?" the queen brought her hand to her mouth while watching her king fume in anger.
"May I see the letter as well?" Rose suddenly snatch the letter from her husbands hands, before the emperor could even reply.
['I Greet the Sky and the Sun of Zephyrus, Emperor Marcus Luke de Espiranza and Empress Rose de Espiranza.
It is I, Thomas Damian Romano – older brother of Empress Violet y Rodriguez.The High Priest of the Holy Capital of Physis.
A holy prophecy had been bestowed. A seed that will save the world had been sowned. Princess Dianne de Espiranza is the daughter of the God, King Constantine, and someday will save the land of Hydros from destruction. So it would be gratifying, if you hand her to us as soon as possible. She will accept the Goddess of the Sky's maiden name and will indoctrinate before the said destruction.
Please reconsider,the whole land of Hydros is in stake.]
----The High Priest
Marcus was cut off from his murderous thoughts and glanced at Rose. Suddenly, sweats was starting to form onto his forehead.
The Queen had a scary aura surrounding her whole body.The royal maids, Evans and even the emperor himself trembled in fear at the sight of their beloved empress.
"What do you mean by 'train her well'...my daughter is not even a pet to begin with..." Rose sarcasticly said in a low deadly tone.
Everyone present in the room couldn't help but to gulp their own salivas in silent.
'Scary...'
