Chapitre 58: Chapter 57: An Awkward Morning
It was morning, the soft light filtering through the curtains as Kai gradually emerged from the depths of sleep. "It's morning?" Kai wondered, rubbing his eyes. As awareness dawned upon him, he sensed an unusual weight on his body. "Is there something over me?" he asked himself internally. With a start, he glanced down to find Montina sound asleep on top of him. A blush crept onto his cheeks as he regarded her peaceful slumber. "What is this position?" he wondered, bewildered by the proximity.
His thoughts raced, questioning, "Why she was still here!?" As he observed her innocent expression, he couldn't help but to look at her sleeping face. "She looks so innocent," he mused, a smile playing on his lips. But then he realized the situation, shaking his head to clear his mind. "What am I thinking!? Get a grip, Kai!"
Attempting to regain composure, Kai scanned the room and his gaze fell upon a tray of food placed on the table, accompanied by a note. His heart skipped a beat as he read the message: "Good morning, Kai. Good morning, Mono. Here's your breakfast. Eat this first since both of you didn't eat your dinner last night. We didn't want to disturb your sleep, so we left your food here. Come to the living room once both of you are done, okay?" The message ended with a smiling Sakura and Celestina face drawn in the end.
As Kai read the note, he sighed in exhaustion. "They saw us…" he thought, his hand reaching to his forehead as he gave a facepalm. But just then, he noticed that Montina was starting to move. "Crap," he quickly went back to his sleeping position. "I hope she doesn't slap me or anything in my sleep," he thought internally, as he started his act of sleeping.
Montina slowly woke up, as she yawns. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around confused. "Where am I…?" But just then, realization hits her. She recalls back that she had fallen asleep in Kai's room. She looked around, when she finally noticed that she was sitting over something. As she looked down, a clear idea hit her that she was sleeping over him.
As Montina realized her predicament, a blush crept on her cheeks as she hastily tried to extricate herself from Kai. However, in her haste to get off him, she lost her balance, falling back onto him and causing her dress to slip off. Kai, despite the chaos, managed to maintain his pretense of sleep.
"My dress," Montina whispered, a statement that didn't escape Kai's sharp hearing. As she attempted to sit up, her dress slipped off completely. "Kya!" she let out a soft scream, quickly covering herself. She glanced at Kai, who appeared to be asleep. She sighed in relief, but Kai was wrestling with his own internal turmoil.
"The sound of the falling dress…" he thought to himself, as he began to visualize in his mind but quickly snapped back to reality. "No! Remember your training, Kai!" he admonished himself internally, as Montina tried to readjust her dress.
As she proceeded to, she noticed that Kai's bangs were slightly askew, revealing a portion of his face. "I've only ever seen him with his hair all messed up," she thought to herself. "I wonder what he actually looks like." She started to approach him, when she realized the situation. "Wait, if someone comes in now…," she thinks to herself, visualizing Celestina coming in the room.
In her imagination:
"Mono! Are you awa-!" she comes in, as she saw witness Montina leaning over Kai as her dressed in slipping off. "Opps! Don't mind me," she chuckles as she closes the door. "Sakura! Hear this!" her voice is heard in the room as she goes to call Sakura. While inside the room, "No, mom! It's a misunderstanding!!" Montina calls out to Celestina in her embarrassed voice.
Back to her:
She feels a chill down her spine. "I can imagine what would happen next…" She sits back again and gets off Kai. As Montina finished adjusting her dress, she looked at Kai, who was still pretending to be asleep. She sighed, shaking her head. "Even after all the noise, he is still able to sleep. He's such a weirdo," she muttered under her breath, but there was a hint of embarrassment in her voice. She got up and walked towards the door, glancing back at Kai one last time before leaving the room.
As the door closed, Kai, who had been holding his breath, finally let out a sigh of relief. He sat up, running a hand through his hair. "That was close," he thought to himself. Just then, the door opens again. Quick to act, Kai went back to sleep again. Montina came inside again, as she searched around for something. "Ah! Found it!" she picked a pen, which was lying beside a chair next to Kai's table. Later, she happily exited the room, humming and smiling. After a few seconds, Kai sits up again. "I guess she had forgotten her pen…," he sighs in relief.
After some time had passed, he too goes out of his room properly dressed, with wearing a new wig that Eva created as he wheels himself to the living room. As he enters, he sees that Montina is already presented there with the rest, but her head lowered as her cheeks and ears were red. A clear indication that she was feeling embarrassed. As Kai slowly makes his way to the group, Maximus tightly grips onto his shoulder. He looks at Kai, with an awkward smile.
"What. Did. You. Do. To. My. Daughter.?"
He asks, when Celestina pulls him back even before Kai could pull out his notebook. "Stop with that," she says, as Maximus having no choice left, lowered his head. She then asks Kai to make himself comfortable. Kai nods with a smile, as he gets his wheelchair over them.
But after a few moments goes by, he is placed in an awkward situation again. Both Celestina and Sakura are looking at him, with a knowing smile on their face, while he could just massage his forehead, knowing that they both saw him and Montina sleeping together. Kai glanced at Montina, who was studiously avoiding his gaze. He sighed, realizing that the awkwardness between them will be there for some time. Pulling out his notebook, he asked, "Where are Lala and Ana?"
To his question, Hiro informed him that they were touring the mansion with Elysia. With a nod, Kai shifted his focus to Celestina and Maximus. He presented them with a note that read, "I have a request to make of you, uncle and aunt." The words hung in the air, causing a ripple of confusion among them. Celestina and Maximus exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes flickering towards Hiro and Sakura, who were equally baffled.
Maximus looks at Kai, smiling as he broke the silence, his voice echoing in the room, "What is it that you wish for, Kai?" In response, Kai's pen danced across the page once more, his movements swift and sure. After a moment, he held up the note for them to read. It held a simple yet unexpected request.
"I wish to visit the palace."
