Hello / Good evening I guess, it's still me, Aliwai!

Title : Planning the rendezvous.

In this chapter, we have the apparition of a rather important character since it is Queen Merlin Snowhalfheim. 

A more precise description of the geography of our world:

Continent: Asgard

North: Kingdom of Snowhalfheim separated from the rest of the continent by a gigantic wall of ice.

Salamander Empire: Western part of the kingdom of Snowhalfheim, three times the size.

Good reading (._.)

After this session of tears and remorse. My grief is almost destroyed, thanks to Maria who has the gift of giving hugs of superior quality. 

Although I appreciate the feeling of being in her arms, maybe Maria could let go of me now... I thought shamefully with a slight redness and an embarrassed look on my face.

I feel like I'm taking advantage of her and it's a pretty disgraceful feeling. I'm better than that!

As a reminder, I am a man trapped inside this little body. So taking advantage of Maria in this way is quite embarrassing and is not part of my values.

After all, I am a man of heart... I said to myself mentally to try to convince myself.

Although from now on I'll have to get used to acting like a girl since I don't want to attract attention. But for the moment, I have other concerns.

So I looked up and asked in a shy and embarrassed tone: "Ummm... Maria?"

She blinks innocently and answers in a very soft tone: "Yes princess?" 

"Could you put me down on the floor, please?" I asked shyly.

"Oh! No problem! Sorry about that...Sorry..." She replied as she knelt down on the floor almost crying.

What's the matter with her all of a sudden?

"Why are you apologizing?" I ask her with my head to the side. As his stance is quite quick and above all excessive.

She answers with mad speed while tears threaten to run from her beautiful eyes :

"I reacted instinctively by taking you in my arms, I don't have permission. You are a princess and I am only a commoner, I have no right to do what I have done

"..." 

Then she goes on: "But please don't fire me, it's the only job that allows me to feed my family."

It's, how can I put it... intense…

In any case, I think there is a misunderstanding between us…

At the moment, I am banging my head against an imaginary table while another me is burying my head in the ground.

"Ummm... There's no problem Maria, you are a friend. I would be glad if you would give me more hugs in the future, you know..." I said unconsciously as my face turned tomato red.

What did I just say? 

"Huh?!" 

Oh... She's currently on a break, her brain is literally on the reboot.

I wasn't expecting such a reaction, although in reality it sounds like her head in the air personality.

It's a funny thing because she looks like a statue that has discovered some terrible news.

And now it's time to get out of this room, it's time for a little exploration of the castle.

"Let's go, Maria." I said to her as I walked out the door.

"Yes, yes Lily-sama!" She answered quickly as she started running towards me. 

Is this a dream?! Does Princess Lily-sama really want more hugs? And from me too! She said I was a friend! If it's a dream, I don't want to wake up ever again, the sweet moments are just beginning hehehe...

Shivers went up my spine. I have a feeling?.

I've been waiting in the dining room for a few minutes. Which by the way is huge! This castle is amazing when it comes to decoration or ornament.

Moreover, the castle is much bigger than I thought. This castle is literally the size of a medium-sized town in Japan, so obviously it's big, very big.

Luckily, Maria has a minimum of her sense of direction, even though I thought we were lost several times.

Along the way, I met my close guard, Lolita Snowheim, the bloody warrior of the Snowhalfheim kingdom. In the game "My Angels", Lolita is presented as a secondary character unlike Maria who was not present in the work.

After all, maybe Maria was indeed present in the game... However, I have no recollection of this.

As for Lolita, she remained in my memory even after I played the game. Despite her weak screen presence, she had a strong impact on many players around the world. Whether morally, aesthetically or even historically.

The reason why I remember Lolita Snowheim is the following: "she is a real loli". 

She has an almost pale white skin with a cute little face that makes you want to cuddle her very much. Her small azure eyes have the particularity of being as deep as an endless ocean. In addition, her candy-pink hair is beautiful, similar to that of cotton candy.

And who do you think is an absolute fan of this character? No, it's not me, it's that pervert Juliana!

Anyway, Lolita is a front line warrior, she is shown as a fierce support to Princess Lily Snowhalfheim. What's more, that's why her surname is Snowheim, which proves that she is recognised by the royal family.

Moreover, what was surprising was the relationship between Maria and Lolita. They seemed very close and this was confirmed when Lolita told me that they were childhood friends.

This new information confirms my genius intuition about Maria. I thought then that my nose was getting longer as if to say that my ego was getting too big.

In conclusion, the brief meeting with Lolita was enjoyable. By nature she is a calm and extremely kind person.

She is also well-meaning and her personality fits perfectly with that of an older sister.

Now, I know why the two get along so well...

In short, let's get back to reality. At the moment, I am waiting for someone important, at least her social status is not just any status.

For the person I am looking forward to is the queen of the kingdom of Snowhalfheim. Merlin Snowhalfheim, queen of the kingdom and above all mother of Lily Snowhalfheim, so my mom's.

To make a long story short, I'm waiting for my new mother! And apparently my brain doesn't fully register the information. Since I am in a state of total non-stress, my body is totally healthy and my heart is beating normally.

I just hope that the meeting will be natural and without any doubtful commitment, if possible. I thought while keeping my fingers firmly crossed.

Time has passed and she is finally here...

The queen of the kingdom of Snowhalfheim...

A powerful and intolerant woman...

Are you sure this person is Merlin Snowhalfheim?

Indeed, my mother is in a very comfortable outfit that enhances her slender body, she also has tousled and unruly hair. 

This scene shatters the image I had of her in the game.

"Morning Lily..." She yawned and walked to the square in front.

"Huh... Morning mother." I responded in the way I thought was most appropriate.

However, this doesn't seem to be the right way to greet my mother. 

She looked surprised as her face twisted slightly and her eyebrow made a right turn.

"What have you done to my little girl today?" She asked slightly worried about her daughter's change.

"Ummm... Nothing special mum, I woke up like this."

I hope it will pass! I thought, praying with all my strength.

"Ok no worries, if you have a problem come and see me." She said with a suggestive wink as her gaze wandered into her thoughts.

My Lily has a problem? Maybe she heard the recent discussion I had with this guy... I really hope not...

*Sigh* it worked, I don't think she realized anything.

"So, call me as usual, mummy or mama or my beloved mother whom I love the most in the world would be best! Yes definitely the best." She says with a fiery, proud look.

"Huh? No, it's okay, mother." I reply with an honest, radiant smile. It was almost ironic and I think she knows that from her answer.

She clapped her hands and said, "Ok, let's eat then."

Breakfast came quickly and contrary to my expectations, it was small.

Indeed, there are only three courses, which is not much for a royal family or rather less full of clichés.

One would think that his dishes are classic breakfast dishes. However, this is not the case, these dishes were literally brilliant!

On the one hand, I've never seen this before in my life, and on the other hand, the smell was so tempting.

Because of this, I couldn't wait to taste any of these dishes in front of me.

And then the fateful moment came... It was simply divine! 

So much so that my mind and body were in ecstasy at the accomplished fact. It's surreal and much sought after.

In short, the food was exquisite and the discussion was friendly. It was as if I had known her all my life, as my true mother.

We talked about everything and nothing, Merlin is really nice and caring.

Suddenly she asked me: "Lily, can I ask you something?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"There's no problem, I'm all ears." I said confidently, because I doubt if it's really a problem.

And now it's my mother, we have to trust each other. I thought naively and without fear.

Merlin began her sentence hesitantly: "I know you're not going to like it but...".

Indeed, it's starting off badly and I don't know if I'm going to appreciate what you're trying to tell me.

But in any case, I promised to listen to what you had to tell me...so…

"So, go ahead. Spit it out." I almost screamed because my instinct tells me I'm not going to like hearing it.

"Well, sorry darling... To cut a long story short, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Salamander sends us his son, the first prince is coming later. So it is necessary that you be ready in order to welcome him properly." She says in an apologetic tone.

Wow...! I wasn't expecting it... Is it worse or less worse than announcing to me unexpectedly that I'm going to have to be a maid for a prince? I thought as my ironic smile got bigger.

But the question was: "How old is he?" I asked with my eyebrow raised and my eyes as black as possible.

Honestly I don't want to meet a smelly old man.

"Oh don't worry Lily, he's the same age as you!" 

*Sighing*

"It's better than I expected..." I couldn't help but take a sip of fresh air. This meeting promises to be easier to handle than I thought it would be.

"I wouldn't say that if I were you." She interrupts my train of thought while she wears her big smile.

"What do you mean, "What do you mean?"

"Well, it's very simple. Even if he's the same age as you, it doesn't mean he's stupid. On the contrary, being the son of a nobleman, he may be smarter than you think. Just like my little Lily," she explained with a small smile.

"Oh all right. I've got it."

"Besides, so that he doesn't get any ideas about you two, your tone and attitude must be in accordance with the protocol of the nobles," she said honestly, because she wants her daughter to have the choice of her future.

"Must my attitude be irreproachable?"

"That's right."

"All right, thank you, Mother Merlin!" 

I'm eternally grateful for her valuable advice. I thought with a little smile.

"If you need help with other things, you can ask me directly or you can also turn to Maria." She said, pointing to Maria standing behind my seat.

"Huh?! Me?" Said Maria surprised, since the queen knows her name and makes her a reference for the princess.

"Yes, Lolita has praised me for many of your merits, I trust her. So I'm sure you'll be able to do it."

"Yes Merlin-sama!" she replied energetically.

"Then what did she say, my little Lily?"

I reluctantly replied: "I accept, but I hope you'll make up for it later."

"Ummm... Don't worry, my daughter, but your request must be reasonable."

In any case, despite my bad presentiment, I reluctantly accepted this rendezvous. 

"Ok. Thank you very much!" I said running into her arms.

The warm feeling I feel is certainly the best. I thought then that a smile was slowly forming on my face.

"It's me who thanks you." She said, caressing my long silver hair.

This mellow moment could have lasted indefinitely if she hadn't suddenly given me terrible news.

"Oh yes, I had almost forgotten... Let's go to the dressing room and dress you properly!"

"Yes, I did." I replied with my most beautiful, apathetic look.

I have a feeling it's going to be a long time. I thought with a small tear. Please, help me !
