"As you all know the queen will be gone for a few days and I wanna give you all a few days off just be back in three days so the queen doesn't know you guys left"Olette said. All the servants cheered and quickly cleared out of the ballroom except Fuu.
"Fuu if you want you may stay here in one of the guest rooms and do whatever you want"Olette said.
"But miss I couldn't"Fuu said.
"Come on I insist go take a nice warm bath and just relax for once"Olette said.
"Well alright if you insist"Fuu said smiling.
"I'm going for a walk i'll be back later"Olette walked through the forest and to the hideout she slipped in and was instantly greeted by Axel and Demyx jumping on her.
"Olette"they both yelled.
"Hey guys where's Saix and Aeleus"Olette asked putting both of them down.
"Aeleus is out working"Axel said.
"What about Saix"Olette asked then she felt a tug on her dress she looked down to see Saix.
"Hey are you trying to sneak up on me"Olette asked picking Saix up.
"Is Aeleus gonna be back soon I have a surprise for you"Olette said.
"Did someone call my name"Aeleus asked behind Olette which made her jump and almost drop Saix.
"Don't sneak up on me like that I almost dropped Saix"Olette said playfully smacking Aeleus's arm.
"I'm glad to see you but why are you back so soon"Aeleus asked.
"I have a surprise for you guys"Olette said smiling.
"Well go ahead tell us what it is"Aeleus said.
"How would you guys like to come live at the castle for a few days"Olette asked.
"Yah"Axel and Demyx both said. Olette looked to Saix and he nodded his head.
"I don't know you said yourself your mother doesn't like me"Aeleus said.
"She's not there"Olette said.
"Why not"Aeleus asked.
"It's a long story i'll tell you later"Olette said.
"Well it's getting dark we better go"Olette said.
"Can we Aelewus pwease"Demyx begged.
"Alright I guess"Aeleus said trying to hide a smile. They all walked back to the castle and instantly smelled food.
"Mmm"Axel said.
"That's weird all the servants are gone I wonder who's cooking"Olette said.
"Let's find out"Aeleus walked into the dining room to see Fuu setting the table.
"I thought I told you to take a few days off"Olette said smiling.
"I couldn't help it"Fuu said.
"Alright well let me introduce you guys Fuu this is Aeleus, Demyx,Axel, and Saix and guys this is Fuu"Olette said.
"Nice to meet you"Aeleus said.
"Hi"Demyx said.
"I'm hungry"Axel said.
"Axel be nice"Aeleus said.
"Sorry"Axel said frowning.
"It's ok cutie the foods done take a seat and i'll bring it out"Fuu said walking into the kitchen.
"You guys sit wherever you want i'll be right back"Olette said going into the kitchen.
"How can I help"Olette asked.
"It's ok miss I can handle it just go take a seat"Fuu said.
"No I insist and you of all people should know how stubborn I am"Olette said smiling.
"Alright miss if you can fix the drinks I will get the food"Fuu said. Olette did as she was told and brought some cups out and filled them with cider for her and the kids and wine for Fuu and Aeleus. Once she was done with that she took a seat in between Saix and Aeleus while Demyx and Axel sat across from them. Fuu came in and served the food and Aeleus and the kids dug into the food. Fuu tried to go back in the kitchen but Olette stopped her.
"Fuu sit at the head of the table and eat with us"Olette said. Fuu tried to argue but ended up sitting with them.
"Wow Saix you seem to really like the cider do you want more"Olette asked. Saix quickly nodded his head making Fuu and Olette laugh.
Once they were done eating Olette suggested that all three boys take a bath.
"I'll run the bath water"Fuu said.
"No your gonna go relax"Olette said.
"Alright miss goodnight i'm in the guest room closest to your mother's room if you need me"Fuu said.
"Goodnight"Olette said.
"Alright i'll help you bath the boys"Aeleus said.
"Nope you can go get a bath and i'll get the boys clean. There's some clothes you can wear in bathroom down the hall"Olette said.
"Sir yes sir"Aeleus said saluting Olette.
"Just go take a shower you stink"Olette said pushing him down the hall.
"Alright boys your water is ready come on"Olette said.
"Wah hoo"Demyx yelled splashing in the tub and getting Axel,Saix, and Olette wet in the process.
"Hey watch it"Axel said splashing him back and splashing Saix at the same just looked at him for a minute until he splashed both Axel and Demyx.
"Hey watch it you guys you're getting me wet"Olette said laughing. The little boys all looked at her and started splashing her.
"Alright alright time to stop you were supposed to take a bath not me"Olette said. After that she washed the boys and got them dressed for bed.
"Alright guys time for bed"Olette said.
"I'm not tired"Axel said but then he yawned.
"It seems like you are"Olette said. She led them to three of the four guest rooms by her and the fourth was Aeleus's.
Once she had them all in bed she went to her room and changed into a gown. Once she was done with that she heard someone knock on her door. She thought it was probably one of the boys but it was Aeleus.
"Is there something wrong"Olette asked.
"I came to find out why your servants and mother aren't here"Aeleus said.
"Come in and have a seat I don't want anyone else to hear this"Olette said.
"Alright"Aeleus said somewhat shocked by her sudden change in mood.
He sat on the bed instantly noticing how soft it was compared to the floor he usually slept Olette sat next to him he waited patiently for her to tell him. What he didn't expect was for her to start crying.
"My mother went to meet with Rai's family to discuss our marriage. She's coming back in three days so I let the servants have the 3 days off so I could invite you guys here"Olette said trying to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"I thought he was just a possible suitor"Aeleus said.
"Thats what I thought to but my mom was packing earlier today and told me we were getting married because she liked him"Olette said.
"Doesn't it matter what you think"Aeleus asked.
"Apparently not to my mother. I don't know what to do I wanna marry someone I love not someone I don't know"Olette said and more tears rolled down her cheeks.
"If you don't love him don't marry him"Aeleus said wiping the tears off her cheeks with his thumbs.
"What am I supposed to do"Olette asked.
"We will think of something"Aeleus said pulling her close to him as she cried.
"Olette"Demyx said standing at the door.
"Hey buddy shouldn't you be in bed"Olette asked wiping the tears from her eyes pulling away from Aeleus.
"Why are you crying"Demyx asked.
"She was just sad you can go back to bed now"Aeleus said.
"Night"Demyx said leaving the room.
"Those little kids love you"Aeleus said.
"They're so sweet. The first time I met them a gave Axel a kiss on the cheek and him and Demyx started screaming saying I gave him cooties"Olette said laughing.
"Thanks for inviting us here. The only bad thing is I have a feeling they are gonna get used to the nice beds and Saix seemed to really enjoy the cider"Aeleus said.
"Yeah and speaking of Saix i'm gonna get him to not only smile but talk"Olette said smiling.
"Well you have your work cut out for you but if anyone can do it you can. I think i'm gonna go to sleep now gnight"Aeleus said.
"Goodnight"Olette said.
