Chapter 152

Tzalmon Point of View

Tick tock tick tock...

"It's been three days since Majesty has been tapping his fingers on the table listlessly. What do you think is the reason for this?" I heard Azar whisper softly to Gyles.

"He has been like this since the night of young prince's birthday. He had a long chat with Lady Dawn and from then on, he feel into his own world." Gyles whispered back.

Those idiots think that because I'm in my own thoughts, I cannot hear them?

Forget it! Eblilis is more important now. These idiots can be taught a lesson later as well.

Now my priority is to develop a good relationship with Eblilis and if fates open their eyes, we can also take it further to love, then marriage and then more kids.

But she was already a hard nut to crack; the other night, she even said she is not easy to please. How should I make the environment better between us and around us?

Although my goal is to be together in love and share a family, I'm also happy if the sand between us finally settles down.

So, should I be normal with her or should I do something to impress her?

Should I compliment her? Nay, she knows me and my personality too well. If she felt good by praises then it is good, if not, it would backfire on me.

Flowers and chocolates; I already tried them and it did not work before.

"Majesty, have you ever thought of using romance to get close to Lady Dawn." Eelk asked with such a tone as if he was dizzy.

However his tone might be, his question caught my attention.

Romance? Like holding hands, hugging, kissing which will slowly progress into two bodies wrapped under the bed sheets?

"She only let go of the past three days ago, if I go and hug-kiss her, it will bring more negative effect than positive." I reprimanded him back with a scowl.

"Eelk, how did you win Aviva Fortune's heart?" After few minutes of silence, I turned to Eelk and asked with expectant look.

Eelk suddenly turned towards me and showed a smug smile on his face. Suddenly his body posture went from being a subordinate to me to be a friend to me.

"The main reason is obviously because I'm too charming to be unseen and unfelt by her. But there's also another important factor that led us from being acquaintances to lovers."

"Oh? What is it?"

"We spent time together, intentionally, accidentally or otherwise. Sometimes, it was my schemes and sometimes it was her intentions but nonetheless, we spent good time together and came to know about each other more and more." Although Eelk words made sense, seeing that smug look on his face, a voice inside me is urging me to punch him.

So spending time, casual time with each other is a must. I didn't need Eelk to tell me this. I already knew this well from long back.

But given how I and Eblilis crossed many borders, many hurdles and many evils to reach this point, it is not easy to spend casual time together. So, the casual time that we spend together should be reasoned and timed cleverly.

I waved my hand and they all went out of my room. I need time to think it out and make perfect arrangements. I need to think of a best way to make this relationship happen and should never let a way for mistake.

Food was forgotten, sleep was forgone, the whole morning, I did not but thinking about my newly advanced relationship status with Eblilis and ways to advance it further to next level.

I was still thinking about it when I heard the sound of door opening. "Did I tell you all to not disturb me?" I chided without looking at the door.

"I only wanted to help you with reaching out to my mamma. Since you are so omnipotent, let's leave it to you to get her." A teasing tone along with a loud sigh was heard and I immediately turned to take a look.

My sons tricks are really top notch, seeing that I turned to look at him, he made a move to walk out and close the door.

Does he want me to request him or beg him to stay?

Did he think I would do that?

If so, then he is absolutely right. He is my last straw to save me from drowning.

"Come on in. You don't have to play this drama with me." I retained my fatherly air and waved my finger nonchalantly gesturing him to walk in and close the door.

He sauntered towards me lazily and sat in the chair in front of me with one leg on the other.

This kid sure knows how to put on airs.

"Alright, tell me, what ideas do you have?" I tried my best to cover up the impatience in my voice.

"Actually, before I help you with any ideas, I want to give you an advice." Oh?

"Let's hear it out."

"Dad, it's not like you are a person who needs someone else to do all your work right?" This made me raise a brow at him.

What does that mean?

Does he think that I'm a dependent person?

"What I am saying is, you should first use your own methods to get close to mamma. If your methods fail, then I will help you. Mamma usually like people who depend on themselves to get things done. You always say that you are a great king, how come you need so many people to tell you what you can do?"

What he said makes sense but as a younger one, is it really good to use such direct approach to tell me?

I am his father!

Nevermind, this boy has always been mamma's boy!

"I understand. I already have my own plans. When did I ever ask for help from someone else?" I grumbled.

"Then let's see how you will make a favorable impression on mamma." He stood up, held his hands behind like an adult, looked up at me arrogantly and tsked before leaving.

Seeing him give me those expressions and leave just like that, there was only one sentence running in my mind;

How come my son turned out to be like this?

I thought I was the most arrogant person in the world, seems like my son has higher degree in it than me.

But then again, he looked so adorable and lovely when he was being arrogant.

Surely, the product of two bests cannot be worse than them.

And so, after Igses left, I spent a whole day putting all my thoughts in a journal. I noted down the characteristics and personality of Eblilis. Her mentality in different actions, our interactions until now; I wrote down everything briefly.

After reading it over and over again, I finally realize that I came to understand Eblilis a little more than before. There were few small things that I always ignored but now that I had put them all on paper, I realized that those small things make a big difference too.

So, after thinking about it, I finally decided on my first course of action.

That is, to hit hard on her small likings and hobbies.

The next morning, after an early breakfast, the first thing I did was knock on the door of my immediate neighbor's.

Winters' Residence!

"What are doing here?" Eblilis opened the door and frowned at me.

Looking at her bed hair, night gown and drowsy eyes, one can easily tell that she woke up just now, or, she woke up because of me.

"Eblilis, good morning. Sorry, I didn't know you were still sleeping. Mr. and Mrs. Winters -" I chuckled awkwardly and looked around the quiet living room.

"Mom and dad went to Charleston this early morning; will be back in four days. Liam is already at university, Igses did not wake up yet, my friends are my house." Eblilis said as she yawned.

Fudging hell!

I was supposed to make a good impression but look at me disturbing her sleep in my first attempt. I am really stupid.

"Umm, you are going back to resort site for inspection tomorrow right?"

"Yes and I'm taking my friends to give them a tour. What is it? Just tell me the reason for your early visit." She asked with a little impatience as she walked into kitchen and made some tea for herself and maybe for me as well.

"There rare plants fair this afternoon. I know you love gardening a lot and you have liking for colorful flowers. Would you want to go with me and see if find something to our liking and buy them?" Again yawning and rubbing her eyes, she poured hot tea in two cups and placed them on the kitchen island.

One for her and one in front of me!

She gave me the tea she made personally? Why do I feel like it's more like ambrosia than tea?

"Rare plants fair?"

"Umm." I hummed.

"This afternoon?"

"Do you have plans for the day?" I asked with a smile but with a baited breath.

Say no!

Just say no!

"Not really. Since it's the plants fair, let's go and have a look. I'll make an early brunch for the three of us then."

"Three of us?" I know that the third person must be Igses.

I cannot let my son be a third wheeler now, can I?

"I've already asked Igses last night about it but he refused to go saying that there is a test in school in a few days so he and Noemi are planning to study together."

Sorry son, but you cannot come with us on these small unnamed dates from here on. You will know my heart when you get yourself a girlfriend in future.

Eblilis nodded without thinking much and agreed to go with me alone. I cannot be happier than this.

This will be our first date together. Unnamed but it is still a date; that too, a date with both of our hearts at peace towards each other.

Now that the good time has already started, there is no hurry to win her in a rush. I need to be slower, enjoy the whole process myself and make it up for her as well.

Our first date; hope it goes well!
