Chapter 428: Laugh freely and have friends

"Your Highness!" Idris bowed the moment he spotted Casaio standing beside the car. Then, breaking formality, he rushed forward and hugged him tightly. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Casaio chuckled softly and patted the boy’s head. "Easy there," he said as Idris stepped back, grinning.

"Why did you suddenly ask for a day’s leave for me?" Idris asked, curiosity lighting up his eyes.

"Get in the car first," Casaio replied, opening the passenger door for him. He took Idris’s backpack, placing it neatly on the back seat before moving behind the wheel.

"Ready?" he asked, glancing sideways.

"Yes!" Idris answered eagerly, his excitement barely contained.

As the car joined the highway, Casaio finally spoke again. "I heard you’re going to be the class president for the next three months."

Idris nodded proudly. "Yes. But... many think I got it easily because of my ties to the royal family." His tone turned determined. "So, I’ve decided to prove them wrong, to show I can be a real leader on my own."

"Of course, you’ve endured hardships since the day you were born and still managed to stand on your own," Casaio said with pride. "I believe in you."

But as he glanced at the boy beside him with a worried gaze. ’Tomorrow, when the truth about him comes out... how will Idris handle the backlash?’ he thought grimly. ’I thought I’d protected him well. He’s only just begun to find his own happiness, and yet...’

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt when Idris suddenly asked, "Can we stop at a baby shop?"

"Huh?" Casaio turned his head slightly. "Why?"

"I want to buy a baby kit for Noah," Idris said with a shy smile. "Sister Amelie will like it."

"I see," Casaio murmured, his expression softening. "Use the phone and find the nearest store."

"I already did," Idris replied proudly, holding up the screen. "Just drive straight, then take a left, then another left after that."

Casaio chuckled under his breath, shaking his head as he followed the directions.

Finally, they reached the store. Casaio didn’t let Idris spend his allowance, instead paying for everything with his own card.

"Here," Casaio said, handing the neatly packed baby kit to him. "Give this to Amelie. Oh, and Noah’s started speaking, by the way."

Idris’s eyes widened in excitement as they stepped out of the store. "Really? That’s amazing! Sister Amelie and Prince Gabriel must be overjoyed. Do you think Noah can say my name too? I didn’t know babies grow this fast."

Casaio smiled faintly. "They do. You did too. One moment you were barely reaching my waist, and now look at you."

He opened the car door for Idris, who climbed in with the gift pressed proudly to his chest. Casaio took the driver’s seat and started the engine just as the phone on the console buzzed.
