Chapter 2: The Arrival
Adrien was awakened at early day break by Plagg who insisted on waking him up so that they will be able to get breakfast.
"Rise and Shine kid, we gotta get food in you when we have to leave in mid-day." Plagg casually shakes Adrien with a hand on his charge's shoulder. Adrien groans into his pillow and says, "Do have to? ~ I don't want to go." Plagg sighs and sits on the bed next to Adrien's form and gives him a nudge to reply with, "Yeah kid, you have to you know your father's orders are basically final and absolute so come on and get up so we can eat. Our carriage will be ready with our stuff on board soon to take us and we would be able to meet Nino at half point near the peer." "Okay~" Adrien says with a final yawn and goes to get ready with the clothes provided by Plagg. He went to the bathroom and done with his shower that took 5 minutes and came out with a fresh pair of undergarments and silk royal white pants. Plagg turned to him wordlessly and provided him a soft blue long sleeved shirt, but realized that his charge is still not fully awake so he helped Adrien put on his shirt only to mischievously ruffled his hair and smirked when the boy (his charge) whined in protest. He laughed when Adrien blew a raspberry at him and gently pushes him to the door so that they could make their way to the family dining room.
Upon entering Plagg and Adrien does not see Gabriel but sees the Queen and Adrien's mother chatting with Nathalie while Gorilla is standing there behind them with a plate in his hand that was given to him that was insisted by the queen who wanted him to eat with them but then briefly compromised in handing him a plate with fruit and a couple of fresh made croissants. Adrien bounded over to sit next to his mother and gives her the traditional tight hug and kiss to the cheek and started piling plates for him and Plagg. Plagg in the meantime just casually strolled after him in a slower place and greeted the company with his presence of "Good morning blessings to you Nathalie, Gorilla, and to you as well my queen." Plagg bows with exaggeration that resulted with Adrien's mother and Nathalie (although very softly) to laugh while Gorilla nodded back in acknowledgment with a small smile that graces his lips. "None of that Plagg you know that I gave you permission to just call me Loraine or Rain for short," Queen Loraine, Adrien's mother said kindly. She wore a beautiful royal blue sun dress gown that breathlessly hugs her form quite nicely. Loraine turns to her son and playfully scolds Adrien, "Kitten, you are going to choke if you continue to stuff your mouth. You are not an animal." Adrien pulls back from the food to fully swallow and then replies with, "Yes mother, my apologies."
(A/N: To be honest I was thinking of making Adrien make a pun right here but thought against as I felt that it wasn't meant to be due to the fact that even though he is with his mother he just doesn't feel that he has enough freedom where his father can come in and reprimands him for his behavior but he will in later chapters.)
Loraine smiles and reaches out a hand and runs her fingers in her son's soft hair. She says gently, "I know this will be hard for you kitten, but your father knows what is best for you and this kingdom." He groans softly and says, "But Mother I don't want to be married so soon I just want to live my own life and have my own freedom." Adrien looks down now not feeling to continue eating. "It's like…it feels trapped and I've been trying so hard to meet his expectations but…they are high and hard to follow through. I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to follow his requests when I can't just be myself. How can I ever be able to understand him if he doesn't…" Adrien stops there with hunching his shoulders and barriers in the warmth that his mother constantly provides him with. Loraine gathers Adrien in her arms and rubs his back and says, "Oh my sweet kid…my dear sweet kindhearted baby boy…I know your father had been…unreasonable and hard on you. But don't lose hope; I'm sure one day he'll understand." She rocks them back in forth. While the others Plagg, Nathalie, and Gorilla looks at them with pity and worry for the boy that they all have grown to love as if he was their own son.
(A/N: Sorry for putting author notes on you guys, but in this story Adrien seems to always to feel the freedom to express himself around a certain group of people he trust like for mainly his mother, Nathalie, Gorilla (even though they appear to be stiff) and Plagg who he sees as a father figure when he was very young, and always act reserve around his father and with Chloe even though they are "childhood friends" he doesn't share who he is rather than be the person she highly expects him to be)
A man enters the room with one look around his surroundings with his monotone voice announces, "The carriage is ready for your departure Prince Adrien and company." He bows quickly and heads out a moment later. Loraine stands and gently detaches Adrien with hands on his face to force him to look at her, "My kitten it's time for you to go. If you need anything send a letter to Nathalie through Plagg so she will give it to me. I'll try to reply back in haste." And just at the moment King Gabriel comes in, "Ah there you are it's time for you depart my son, be quick with your activity and head for the carriage at once no need to further the delay." Gabriel then shut up with a look that he receives from his wife, "Gabriel, Adrien is about as good and ready to leave not delaying his departure as he was only just saying goodbye to me as we were finishing up breakfast." Adrien hides in his smile as he sees his father stiffen in response. 'I love my mother she is the only one that can put father in his place. And speaking of place… I better head to the carriage.' Adrien then gives his mother a quick version of a hug but doesn't pull away so suddenly as his mother wraps his form tightly and whispers softly, "I'll see you soon my beloved kitten and don't lose that hope just yet. He'll come around if I have anything to say about it." With that she lets him go and gives him a kiss on cheek. Adrien then starts heading to the door where Plagg is waiting not before tilting his head at his father and says "See you soon father." Plagg and Adrien then make their way out and start heading towards the carriage. Upon nearing the carriage they get in and began to situate themselves and wait for their departure. Adrien then turn towards to Plagg and says "Ready?" Plagg replies with his trademark grin. "Oh yeah, I'm ready. Are you ready to go kid?" Adrien grins right back at him with determination anew that Plagg is always so proud in seeing his charge with always getting back up and staying positive, "Yeah I'm ready!"
