Chapter 207: Kitten

Isidora cradled the small dog in her arms, casting furtive glances around to ensure no prying eyes caught sight of her. Today, she had a crucial mission – a visit to her sister was imperative for her own sanity! For one thing, she was bord out of her mind from sitting at home and had nothing to do. Her teachers taught her things that she already knew, her mama kept sending teachers to teach her dance and etiquettes.

The only thing that she had mildly found to pass her time had been peppering questions to Gaia about the plants he was tending in the main garden or playing with Kitten. But now she needed to bring Kitten to bribe her sister into taking her out with her. The only problem was that she had no idea if she liked dogs or not.

Isidora looked at the cute little pup in her arms and then shook her head. How can someone not like Kitten? Now she just needed to take this bundle of cuteness to Eleanora before anyone discovered that she’d skipped the class again.

She did not understand why everyone in the palace insisted on hiding things from her.

First, they kept Eleanora hidden, and now that she was seeing Prince Augustus, they did not want her to know that as well. Isidora pouted. Well, they might want to keep the business away from this princess, but they would not been able to keep the princess away from business. She was already an expert at gathering information.

Finally, deciding that the coast was clear, Isidora made a run for the small mansion, straight like an arrow as she burst through the doors calling out to her sister," Noraaaaaaaaaa."

Unfortunately for Isidora, before Eleanora could even look up from her breakfast, Lily spotted the little girl and squeaked, "Princess Isidora, it is unbecoming of a princess to scream like a common fishwife."

Before Isidora could say anything, she heard Eleanora’s sing-song voice calling to her loudly,’ Yes, Doraaaaaaaaaa."

The maid cast a scandalized look at the princess while Dora threw her a smug glance and raced towards her sister, quickly climbing into her lap, eager to show off. "Nora! See my new friend. I specially brought her here to meet you. This is Kitten."

Eleanora’s eyes twinkled as she looked at the cute pup and she gently patted his head," I think I need to get my eyes tested! I could swear that this cute little thing is a puppy but you are calling it a kitten..."

Dora giggled and pushed the little pup to Nora who caught it carefully as the little thing continued to sniff her and said," I told Gaia the same thing! But he insists that the pup is like a kitten. So he has named her that."

"Who is this Gaia? He has quite a sense of humor!"

"He is the Head Gardener in the Royal Offices. Kitten belongs to him. He inherited the position from the old gardener who retired a few weeks ago. Also, he has totally changed the looks of Grandma’s garden! Earlier it was only boring rose shrubs but now there are so many new and pretty flowers. He is working on Evangeline’s garden next. I told Gaia that he should work here first. Evana does not care for these things but you like plants. He said that if you want him, you can always summon him."

Eleanora laughed at that and quickly picked up a piece of tart and stuffed it into the little girl’s mouth," You sound like an advertisement for this gardener! Did he bribe you?"

"What bribe? He is just really good." As Isidora chewed on the biscuit, she said, " See, he loves his Kitten but he even let me bring her here because I told him that I wanted her to play with you. See, he trusted me when no one else does."

As she complained, the dog had already jumped off their arms and was now exploring the new surroundings curiously, while wagging his tail in continuous excitement.

Eleanora looked at the cute pup as she spoke the name Kitten slowly. The dog was really cute. Finally, the dog found a small spot with the sunlight shining in and slumped down, stretching its tiny legs and closing its eyes. The dog had definitely made itself comfortable and looked as if it would not move. Eleanora shook her head, ’The gardener might be right in giving this dog a cat name...’

While Eleanora continued to watch the cute dog, Isidora had not forgotten her mission. Finishing the food that had been placed in front of her, she cast an accusing gaze Eleanora’s way," You are going out."

Eleanora blinked and turned her attention away from the dog to her little sister who was staring at her as if she had broken her heart.

Frowning, she nodded her head," Umm, Prince Augustus is taking me to explore the city today."

"Are you really going to marry him? Is it true that he is your fiance? I don’t like him, you know."

Eleanora glanced at Dora in surprise. The little girl was always well-informed...

"Why do you not like him?"

Dora made a face and said," I heard him talking to my friend once. Do you know what he said,’ that children are meant to be seen not to be heard so we should always keep out mouths shut when in public.’ He is the one who needs to keep his mouth shut but he cannot because he likes the sound of his own voice."

Eleanora laughed at Dora’s reason for disliking the princess as well as her astuteness in pointing out the man’s faults so easily. She was quite perceptive for a little girl.

While Eleanora laughed, Isidora quickly added," I don’t really like him. But if you’re going out with him, I want to come too. And Kitten wants to explore the city! I can endure his presence for your sake! And I promise that our presence will save you from his voice."

Eleanora laughed and was almost tempted to take Isidora up on the offer. However, she remembered her motive to look for ways to escape Estania and she could not take Isidora with her when she went scouring for information. Unfortunately for her, Isidora was more determined than her.
