บท 472: When you want soon but you don't know by how much

"Shwa?" Jade perked up instantly at the name, eyes and hand caressed the black pendant on my neck. "Will Shwa here soon?"

I looked at Natha, who was silent for quite a long time--well, a long time for me who was waiting eagerly in nervousness. A minute passed before he finally spoke, but he spoke to Jade instead.

"Jade, be a good boy and get the servants in the kitchen, yeah?" he took Jade off my lap and put the boy on the ground. "Tell them we'll have breakfast on the lower balcony today, and ask for a lot of jellies."

Jade gasped and with sparkling eyes, nodded before running down to do his errand. I took a deep breath while waiting for his decision patiently, watching him drag an ottoman in front of me and sit on it. All the while, our hands were still holding onto each other.
