Back in Baymard, it had only been a day since Landon had left.... but of course, the empire was still as booming as ever, especially for the students.
A few days ago, the Museum had finally been created.
And now, it"s a very popular touristic site for all.
Before Landon had left, he had made great plans to organize a Museum tour for the children from all Grades.... be it grade 7 or even grade 10.
For the next 2 weeks, the teachers and would have their hands full in taking each grade for a tour at the Museum.
.
Today, it was little Krea"s cla.s.s that would be going out today.
Of course, Little momo, Linda and the rest who had previously come to Baymard last year with Santa from Carona... weren"t in the same grade as Krea, with the exception of Rebecca.
Rebecca who was previous 6, was now 7... and was the same age as Krea.
The 2 had developed an unbreakable bond ever since they began attending cla.s.ses together.
And funny enough, they even started calling themselves BFF"s as Barbie would do.
Anyway, when they both heard about their cla.s.s going for the tour, they were both so pumped that the night before... they continuously talked their families" brains into mush.
It was so bad that everyone was seriously considering whether to strangle them to sleep or even put bandages over their eyes to make them go to bed early.
It was one of the longest nights ever for 5heir respective families.
And when they finally got the children to sleep, they all thought that this would be the end of it.
But who knew that the children would be so up early in the morning, singing and making all kinds of exciting sounds instead?
As for the culprits involved, they couldn"t be bothered at all..... because in their minds, nothing could dampen their mood.
"Mom!... I don"t want to be late for school today.
So can I not have breakfast?" Krea said while looking out her window anxiously.
"Nonsense!
Do you even know the time?
Young lady.... your school bus will be here in 45 minutes.
So how is that not enough time for you to eat?
And even if it was on its way right now, how can I let you go to school without any breakfast in that tiny belly of yours?
Come on little lady..... let"s go downstairs and get you something to eat alright?" Queen Jasmine from Terique said while handing tiring yo the last place on Krea"s shoes.
"But mom...."
"No buts.... downstairs! Now!"
"Yes ma"am...."
"_"
.
With that, Krea was left resigned to her fate... but as the table, she ate as fast as she could, even though her mother told her to slow down multiple times.
And while she was eating, Jasmine unhurriedly placed her inbox into her bag and started placing food for her son instead.
Of course right on cue, Raul came down as well.... as he too needed to hurry off to work as well.
He worked within the Agricultural government office, as he took this as a chance to learn how to better the lives of his people later on.
In his mind, his older brother, the crown prince.... would definitely take the throne later on, so he wanted to do his best to support his brother.
So when he told his majesty Landon about his desires... he surprised that Landon had agreed to help him realize them.
He had been placed within the Agricultural sector, as the food was the most important thing that all peasants truly cared about.
Without good nutrition, even sick people couldn"t get better with or without drugs.
So Landon had sent him there to understand the basics of farming crop yield and so on.
It seemed like a layman"s job for someone of his status.... but as someone in the place of power, nothing was too insignificant for them to learn.
Hence he had taken the job seriously!
Of course in addition to that when he got his first pay, he truly felt like he had earned it.
As a prince, of course.... he had gotten much more money than what was currently given to him.
But ever since he had come to Baymard, he had learned things like budgeting, setting long term goals, short term goals and so on.
It wasn"t just him who was thinking like this.... bit even Jasmine herself.
.
Everything about these Baymardian women shocked Jasmine.
She didn"t know that women could do so many jobs like the women of Baymard.
Even Queen-Mother Kim worked as a teacher, as well as did other government jobs as well.
Not to talk of Princess Lucy and the other n.o.blewomen that she had met here in Baymard.
So when she thought about how she used to just lay around in the castle all day ling in Terique, she couldn"t help but frown at her former self.
The women in Baymard earned their pay, but she had never earned anything.
While working in the Ministry of Finance, she too had begun to understand how complex running an empire was.
She had to write it reports and let her be secretary type them out using the typewriter..... as well as do presentations and so on in front of the board.
She had never felt so accomplished in her life!
It was precisely because of this that she had decided to change her lifestyle when she got back to Terique.
She would use her new-found knowledge and help whoever took over the throne in any way she could.
Of course, Jasmine knew that they Landon didn"t want to make his move yet until Micheal was completely well and strong.... so for now, they could only bid their time happily in Baymard.
.
Jasmine looked at her children and smiled.
Sure enough..... just as Landon had promised, they were indeed comfortable.
Who knew that, that little brat would create miracles like the ones she had seen here in Baymard?
Was he really a messenger from the heavens?
Even she herself had started believing it as well.
After all, he had created so many miracles within the Pyno continent... so it wasn"t far fetched for anyone to believe it.
Jasmine quickly placed her husband"s food in several plastic containers..... as she would stop by the hospital just before going to work, to send the meal to Micheal"s private Ward.
.
Time flew by with both children eating like wild animals... and very soon, Krea"s school bus was finally here.
"Bye Mom... Bye big brother Raul...." Krea said while das.h.i.+ng into the bus excitedly.
Both merger and son just looked at her fading figure and sighed.
"Sigh..... they grow up too fast..." they thought.
"Vrrrrmmmm!!"
And with that, the school bus had left.... carrying a pack of excited children in it.
