Chapter 181: Chapter 181- Back ll
"... You guys Ready? Grandma?"
Ask Taufik. After the Lunch was finished, and was asked by Amanda about a bunch of things that they had done in Kamchatka, they finally decided that it was time to go visit Linda in Japan.
"... is it visible on my face?"
The Queen asked while touching her cheeks by hand. Taufik laughed a little when he saw the queen like this.
"Ahaha~ You Like a girl who wanted to go on a date with your first love, yes, it's visible as clearly as the day"
"... Don't tease your Grandma like that; even though I said before that I was ready, nervousness cannot be avoided; it is basic human nature"
Said the queen, and Taufik, who heard that, could only smile faintly while approaching the queen and then holding her hand with both of his hands.
"So, do you want to postpone it? You can meet my mother another day, let Caldwell and Amanda meet her today, and when you are fully ready, I will take you to meet her; how about that?"
"No...
Said the queen while shaking her head.
... I will just get more nervous if I meet her alone, don't worry I'm just feeling nervous because it's the first time we meet again after a long time, but I'm okay, right now, let's get going"
"Alright...
Said Taufik and then looked at Amanda and Caldwell, who were busy talking with Banaspati and Sylph.
... Hy, is time to go, until when are you going to talk there... Oh~ Grandma, won't Uncle William come with us?"
"He was busy with something, so he can't"
"It's so... There's nothing we can do then, well, it's time for us to go"
Said Taufik and then directly opened the portal.
---------------
- With William.
In a room, William is seen working on a document and Edmund is sitting relaxed on the sofa.
"Edmund, What is the answer from the Japanese Government regarding Mother who wants to visit there?"
William asked with his gaze still fixed on the document in front of him.
"We have received their consent, I told them that Mother wanted to take a vacation for a few days in their country and asked them to keep it a secret, everything was done"
Answers Edmund while sipping the coffee.
"... That's Good, So... What are you doing here and not going with them to protect Mother?"
William said finally putting down his pen and looking at Edmund.
"Yeah~ Keep telling a joke... With our Nephew with her, what do you think can happen to Mother? This kind of relaxing opportunity is rare, so I will make full use of it, and you, my brother... why did you put down your pen? Keep working, because when the mother is not around you are the one in charge... hahahaha~"
"yeah~ Keep laughing, because after Taufik is officially known as Prince, you won't even have time to sleep well, keep laughing"
William replied in a mocking tone while grinning.
"..."
Hearing what William said, Edmund fell silent, contemplating what William said; after a while, he sighed tiredly.
"... why do you have to go straight to where it hurts the most *Sigh* I will go now"
Said Edmund who immediately stood up to leave the room.
"... Where are you going?"
"Go do what I have to do"
"What?"
William asked curiously.
"Go prepare an umbrella before it rains"
----------------
- Imperial Palace of Japan.
"... Have you found out the exact purpose of the Queen of Britain coming to our country?"
Emperor Naruhito asked a man dressed all in black who was kneeling in front of him.
"Forgive our inability, Tennō Heika, We have not found anything definite about that matter"
Said the man in black.
"... I see... then is there any latest news about the strange movements of the Tokugawa family?"
"Forgive us, Tennō Heika, something prevented us from approaching Tokugawa Manor any closer, so we were unable to get any more information"
"..."
Emperor Naruhito was silent for a moment after hearing the report from the man dressed all in black while looking out at the scenery, and after a moment he looked back at the man.
"There's nothing that can be done then... well... you can go now and keep finding out about the real purpose of the Queen of Britain, her suddenly visiting this country without anything special happening is a bit suspicious, and how they told us to keep it a secret adds to that, go"
"As you command, Tennō Heika"
Said the man dressed in all black and immediately disappeared from where he was.
"..."
After the man dressed all in black disappeared, Emperor Naruhito fell silent as if he was contemplating something in his place with his cheek resting on his palm and his eyes closed.
'... something big is happening without me realizing, what will happen in the future?'
--------------
- Tokugawa Manor.
On a bench in the back garden of the Manor, Alice is seen sitting on Linda's lap while she is tying up her hair.
Alice, who was humming while swinging her legs back and forth happily, suddenly stopped humming and immediately asked Linda.
"Grandma, When will Daddy come back?"
"Hm? If there is no obstacle, he will come back today; why? Do you miss him already? Am I not enough for you? You make this Grandma sad?"
Said Linda in a fake sad tone.
"Yes, I miss him"
Alice answered innocently without caring about Linda's sad tone, and Linda, who heard Alice's innocent answer, smiled awkwardly, which made her hand that was tying Alice's hair stop.
"Hm~ what's wrong, Grandma?"
Alice asked as she felt her grandmother's hand stop.
"A-ah! Nothing...
Linda replied as she finished tying Alice's hair into twin tails.
... Is done~ Let me see... Yap~ My Little Princess is the cutest"
Said Linda, who gently pinched Alice's cheeks.
"Alright~ Let's go meet the others"
Linda said again and immediately carried Alice and took her to meet Jenn and the others.
But before they could leave, Shasha appeared with Lembuswana on her shoulder.
"Madam, Master is here, but-"
But before she could finish what she wanted to say, Alice, who was being carried by Linda, suddenly interrupted Shasha's conversation.
"What? Daddy is here? Grandma~ Grandma~ Down~ Put me down"
Hearing Alice's request, Linda could only smile wryly and immediately put Alice down.
After Alice's feet touched the ground, she immediately ran into the Manor.
Still with that wry smile, Linda could only shake her head while looking at Alice and then look back at Shasha.
"... What do you want to say before?"
"... He's back with another person we don't know"
Shasha said, continuing what she wanted to say before.
"Hm? Do you know something, Lembu?"
Hearing Linda's question, Lembuswana wanted to say something but he chose not to.
"... It would be better if you went to see it in person"
"???"
Hearing what Lembuswana said, Linda's face was filled with question marks.
"... Okay?"
---------------
- A few moments ago.
A portal suddenly opened right in front of the entrance to Tokugawa Manor.
The guards who saw this immediately stood ready with their respective weapons, but luckily, Asahi was there and he recognized the portal because there was only one person he knew who could do that.
"Put Your weapon down, it's not anything Dangerous"
Said Asahi, and the guards who heard this still looked a little hesitant, but because the one who said this was Asahi, they immediately lowered their weapons.
After waiting for a while someone finally stepped out of the portal.
"I'm Finally back"
Said Taufik after exiting the portal.
"Sense-"
Asahi, who wanted to greet Taufik, stopped because he saw someone else coming out of the portal.
"..."
The first was a beautiful woman who had the same features as Taufik, blue eyes and jet-black hair, who immediately looked here and there as soon as she came out of the portal.
"Whoaahh~ So this is how it felt teleport? It's not like what is described in the novel"
Said the beautiful woman in English, but Asahi could still understand what she said. Then Asahi saw the second person who came out of the portal was a man who was no less handsome than Taufik, who also had the same characteristics as Taufik and the beautiful woman, blue eyes and jet black hair.
"..."
Moments after the handsome man came out of the portal, Jenn and the others who felt Taufik's presence came here.
"Husband!!"
Rani shouted, immediately running towards Taufik and hugging him.
"Whoa~whoa~ Be careful, Rani. Remember, you are pregnant"
Said Taufik, who welcomed Rani's hug gently.
"Dear, it's good nothing happened to you," Jenn said softly with a smile to Taufik.
"Whoa~ Who's these two beautiful people, Fik?" Ask Kaela while looking at Caldwell and Amanda.
"Huh? They have the same smell as you and Mother...
Said Anugerah, but then she was struck by a sudden thought, and then she showed a surprised face.
... Don't tell me"
Said Anugerah while covering her mouth in surprise.
Hearing what Anugerah said, Jenn, Rani, and Kaela also looked at Caldwell and Amanda carefully, then glanced back at Taufik.
And like Anugerah, they also put on surprised faces, and after that, the four of them looked at each other.
"What? What's wrong?"
Asked Taufik, who felt strange about the behavior of his four wives.
However, before Jenn and the others could answer Taufik's question, a voice that Taufik recognized shouted at him, and Taufik, who heard the voice, felt like the anxiety he felt immediately disappeared.
"Daddy!!"
