Chapter 188 - Chapter 190 (1/2)
”How's this?” Sylvia said as she held up a very tiny dress. Amell looked up and tilted his head to the side, ”I think Valerie will have a hard time moving around and training in it!”
”It's not for training, stupid! Plus, they are only a few weeks old, so at least let her learn how to walk before starting plan out her training.”
”As you wish. But, since you said it like that, the second Valerie takes her first steps, her training begins.” He signed the last report and looked over at the crib where the twins were sleeping.
”You're impossible, you know that?” She was too exhausted to argue, so she simply let it be.
”I know, it runs in the family!”
”Run its course is what it should do, and soon,” Sylvia complained silently as she turned her back to Amell and walked over to the twins.
”Don't be like that! You love this side of me!” He wore a smug smile and tapped the desk slowly with his finger.
”I'm not sure I do.” She leaned over the crib and looked down on her adorable children. ”I love them, that I know for sure. By the way, Ryu contacted me when you were out.” She turned to her husband who was looking at her with suspense.
”And? What did he want?”
”Naruto and Sasuke wanted to come and visit. I told them they could come and visit anytime, I hope that was okay?”
”Those two boys are my family, and I would never say no to family. Plus, this is surprisingly good timing for them to visit.” Amell put a finger to his chin and leaned back on his chair.
”What do you mean, love?”
”A war is brewing, and those two still hasn't experienced the horror of war. They are war-virgins so to speak.” Amell's vulgar wording caused Sylvia to cringe, but still, she agreed. ”Indeed, but do you think it's necessary to drag them into this world's problems?”
”The Elemental nations have Kabuto to worry about, and when he makes a move, Naruto and Sasuke will most likely be at the front lines guiding and inspiring their armies. It will do them good if they get to experience war before that so they won't freeze up when their war against Kabuto begins. And, this war will happen on my terms, so I will have no problem to keep them safe.”
”Wow, what a thoughtful father, those boys are lucky to have you.” She said in sarcasm. ”By the way, it's been a while since I saw Shisui, where did that boy go? I liked him.” Sylvia started reminiscing.
”Oh, he is here.” Amell pointed behind him and from behind the chair, a familiar Uchiha stepped out.
”Lord Amell, Lady Sylvia, good day!” Shisui said calmly. He received a cheerful nod from Amell, and a surprised expression adorned Sylvia's face.
”Shisui, how long have you been here?”
”Three weeks. Lord Amell brought me back into active service after the twins birth.” Shisui smiled at Sylvia who after a few seconds smiled back at him.
”I have been super busy being the emperor lately so I activated him again as an extra pair of hands.”
”Do you have to say activate? That sounds like he is one of Gotei's machines, isn't he family?” Sylvia offered a sympathetic glance to the semi-immortal Shisui.
”Sorry, sorry, it's the apathetic emperor inside of me.”
”I do not mind the wording, My Lord!” Shisui placed a hand above his heart and bowed with sincerity. ”Stop that, Shisui. Don't let my husband treat you like some object!”
”If that is what is required of me, then I would accept becoming a wooden box.”
”Where the hell is this conversation going?” Amell looked back at his Uchiha shadow, ”Shisui, my wife has barely slept for five weeks, so just ignore everything she says.”
”Your will is my command, My Lord!” Shisui straightened out his body and bowed his head.
”Things is starting to go off-topic, so, let's bring it back. When Naruto and Sasuke come I most likely won't be here as I have a bunch of stuff to take care of in the upcoming weeks. I will leave the boy's arrival to you, Sylvia.” Amell said.
”Do you really think that is such a good idea, love? As you said yourself, I have barely slept at all since the twins birth, the chances of me filling their heads with awful ideas are pretty big, wouldn't you say?”
”I think Naruto and Sasuke should count themselves lucky to hear the wise words of your majesty!” Shisui managed to say that without any embarrassment. A feat that Amell silently complimented him on.
”Don't try and flatter me, boy. Well, Amell, do you still want me to handle their arrival? Wouldn't Byakuya or one of them boys handle that better?”
”You don't have to sit them down and give them some great life advice, just welcome them and introduce them to the place.” Amell snickered to himself for reasons the other two didn't understand. ”Contact Ryu and tell him that the boys are welcome any time.” He looked at Shisui and the young Uchiha nodded.
