Love You To Death

Chapter 4

"Shouldn't we buy the prince a present?" She suggested.

Callahan contemplated about what Catherina said.

"Present.. alright. Shall we buy him one together?" He smiled

Catherina nodded.

"Prepare a carriage. We're going out." He said to the servant.

"Right away, young master."

Before they went out, Catherina changed her outfit into a warmer one first since it's almost winter.

"Be careful."

Callahan held her hand as she got off from the carriage.

They finally arrived at the store after few minutes of transportation.

"Welcome!" The woman in the front desk greeted them as they entered the building.

The two of them then separated and roamed around the store a bit to look for a suitable present for the prince.

While wandering, a certain product caught Catherina's eye.

"This one looks nice."

She took the fountain pen and the carving and design was beautiful to look at.

"Brother, will this do?"

Callahan looked at the fountain pen in her hand. "Okay. Let's have that."

"What will you give to him?" She asked.

"A dagger." Callahan smiled.

"Oh."

After they finished on deciding the gift, they paid for it and left the store without further ado.

"Mother."

"Callahan? Where have you been?" Their mother asked as she saw their appearance from the carriage.

"We went to buy something for the prince. It's his birthday tomorrow."

"Oh, right. How old is he again?"

"He's already twelve."

"I see. Rina, did you have fun?" Her mother opened her arms.

Catherina walked towards her and gave her a hug.

"Yes."

"Lovely. Let's head inside first." She carried Catherina in her arms again.

At this point, Catherina felt like a spoiled child.

But regardless of that, she loved the feeling.

"-Na.... Rina. Baby, it's time to wake up."

Catherina heard mother's soothing voice.

'What time is it?'

"Mommy?" She rubbed her eyes.

"It's time to prepare. You're going to the celebration, remember?"

"Mhm."

"Let's take a bath first. Larah, prepare the bathtub."

"Yes, madame." A maid responded.

There was something different.

From the novels Catherina read in her past life, she noticed that the lady-in-waitings are usually the ones who serve a noble's child.

But in her case, it was her mother who took care of her personally.

'Maybe it's because I'm still a child.'
