After Little Jean finished his Mille feuille, Maximillien said, "Are you full? Do you want to go to the art supply now?"Â

"Um'¦ Big brother, can we stay for a little longer? Jean wants to eat more! Jean wants to eat more cake!" Little Jean raised his hands in the air and excitedly chanted, "More cake! More cake!"

Maximillien sighed and shook his head, "No, there's no more cake. You'll get a cavity. You've eaten a lot, Jean."

"Aww'¦." Little Jean wanted to beg, but he felt his Big brother wouldn't allow it nonetheless, judging from his eyes. Little Jean doubted that his Big brother would yield.

He was always strict with Little Jean's health for some reason.Â

Thus, Little Jean yielded and followed his Big brother to leave the restaurant. They returned to the carriage, and it passed through the beautiful buildings with intricate design art nouveau design.Â

Then they passed the port, where Jean could see the big ships harboring at the dock or sailing away, leaving the port. Jean was awed as always, and he asked, "Big brother, those are ships, right? I saw them in my book. They can carry people!"

"Yes, and we do have a ship of our own. We used it for travel," Maximillien informed. "Though, it's been a while since our last travel."

"We have our own? Where?"

Maximillien pointed at the ship that was docking quite far from the rest of the ships. The ship was quite big, and it had blue and gold paint with an intricate design.Â

"Uwaa! Big brother, can we ride that someday?!"

"Of course, only when we have something to do overseas, though," Maximillien replied.Â

They arrived at the art and supplies store that joined as one with a florist store. The front of the store was filled with flowers, lavenders, petunia, roses, gardenia, et cetera. While inside, it was a simple art and supplies store.Â

A woman was standing in front, rearranging a few bouquets as she waited for the customer as always. When the well-known Archduke's carriage suddenly stopped in front of her store, her heart jumped in fear and excitement.

Archduke Maximillien and Little Jean got out of the carriage, and the woman rushed to greet them.

"W'”Welcome to our store, Your Highness. May I help you with something?"Â

Archduke was well known to be cold but competent. He looked down at Little Jean with his warm gaze and said, "You can go inside. I will have to buy some flowers first."

  "Okay, Big brother!"Â

Little Jean entered the art and supplies store. The two guards who escorted them immediately blocked the door, preventing anyone from entering until Little Jean finished shopping.Â

Meanwhile, Maximillien looked around the florist store. He was quite amazed by the intricacy and how the florist could arrange the flower by the looks and the smells. It created a very balanced and clean image of a flower bouquet. But his interest wasn't about buying one or two bouquets. He needed a florist to arrange the flower decoration for Jean's birthday. Thus he asked the florist lady, "Can you accept big order?"

"Y'”Yes! I can accept big orders, but I need three days if it's a really big order, Your Highness."

"Good, I will have one big order for gardenia, rose, and daisy. Just prepare as much as you can, and my people will pick you up the day before the celebration. I want you to decorate my Little brother's birthday. Make it beautiful and special because he is special for me."

Meanwhile, Little Jean entered the art and supplies and was greeted by an overly friendly clerk. He was the owner of the store and also the main character, Madeline's dad.

The reason why Yunyu showed Little Jean's art talent to his Big brother was to lead Maximillien to this store. So he could spy on Madeline first, because apparently, Madeline had the main protagonist aura that nobody could resist, so Yunyu wanted to do things, like sabotaging.Â

[Maybe if she is around, I can push her until she broke her neck or something. At least, let me accidentally cut her face until she looks ugly enough and nobody will take her in the future, NYAHAHAHA.]

[Pupa: Wow, you're literally planning to kill a little kid. I know your moral value is at minus, but this is basically psychopathic tendency!]

[Pupa'¦ did you forget that I'm also a four'”well, five years old kid? I'm basically fighting my equal! So it's fair sabotage!]

[Pupa:..]

The clerk, Madeline's dad, crouched in front of Little Jean and showed a kind smile, "Young Master, do you want something? We have everything you need, from canvas, paint, brush, and many more."

"Umm'¦"Â

[Pupa, Madeline is around, right?]

[Pupa: I can detect the main character's presence. Yes, she is around.]

"Sir, let Jean look around! I will tell you if I want to buy something!" Little Jean said.Â

Madeline's dad's heart melted when he saw Little Jean's doe eyes. He never knew that Archduke had an adopted brother. He looked so cute as well, like a fairy from painting.Â

"P'”Please do. I will be waiting here!" The clerk said.Â

Little Jean walked around the spacious art and supplies store. Pupa acted as a radar, trying to find the sign of the main character, Madeline.

Pupa sensed something and its radar beeped few times.

[Pupa: Okay, she should be around here. Just follow me.]

Pupa floated in front of Yunyu, leading him to the corner of the store. Yunyu saw the back of a kid around Yunyu's age, wearing a green shirt and short pants. The kid had short, dark blue hair.Â

[Wait, why does Madeline looks like a boy from behind?]

[Pupa: Well, she is a tomboy in the story. Maybe she looks like a little boy when she was younger.]

Little Jean approached the kid around his age. He was standing behind the kid, and he patted the kid's shoulder, "Um'¦ excuse me."

The kid turned around, and suddenly'¦

A red chain appeared out of thin air and connected their heart.Â
