Chapter 5: Chapter 5 {Tun Tun}
The triplets continued to bounce with excitement, their eyes shining with anticipation.
"Mama, will Great-Grandfather teach us some of his famous sword moves?" Ayla asked, her eyes wide with hope. Kingston and Penelope chimed in.
"And can we see the Imperial Palace? We've only seen pictures!"
Aika's smile returned, and she nodded.
"Of course, my little ones. Great-Grandfather will be delighted to teach you some of his famous sword moves. And as for the Imperial Palace, you'll get to see it in all its glory. You'll even get to meet some of the Imperial Guards and learn about the history of the Azure Empire."
The triplets squealed with delight, and Aika couldn't help but laugh at their enthusiasm. She was excited to return to her home planet and introduce her children to her family and heritage. It was a new chapter in their lives, and Aika was eager to see what the future held for her little family.
Of course as the imperial palace she rather not the kids will forget without a care in the world.
Of course as the imperial palace she rather not the kids will forget without a care in the world. Her ex boyfriend who was also her ex fiancés who she would love nothing more than strangle him to death is a prince might not be in the main or third, second but fourth main family of the royal household. Well we can say things weren't the best of course she has never seen the main palace or the main royal families that extremely powerful and she doesn't want to. She rather her kids forget the idea of seeing imperial guards or the palace. Too many enemies.
Aika's expression turned serious, her eyes clouding over with concern.
"Actually, kids, let's not mention the Imperial Palace or the Imperial Guards, okay? Great-Grandfather's estate will be more than enough excitement for you. We don't want to overwhelm ourselves with too much at once." She smiled, trying to downplay the situation, but her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
*Aika's voice was laced with a hint of unease, and she quickly changed the subject, "Let's focus on packing and getting ready for our trip. We'll have plenty of time to explore Great-Grandfather's estate and the surrounding areas. I promise you'll have lots of fun."*
*The triplets, sensing their mother's tension, looked at each other uncertainly, but Aika's attempt to distract them seemed to work. They nodded, and their excitement returned as they began to chatter about what they wanted to pack and what they wanted to do on their trip.*
Aika watched them, a mix of emotions swirling inside her. She was happy to see her children so carefree, but the thought of returning to her home planet and potentially running into her ex-boyfriend, Prince Ryker, made her stomach twist with anxiety. She had thought she had left that part of her life behind, but it seemed that some wounds still lingered, waiting to be reopened.
If she saw that arrogant playboy Prince Ryker she would do nothing more than strangle him to death throw him to the demonic spirit beast to eat his body cruel sure but not as cruel what he did to her!
The thought of Prince Ryker's smug face and arrogant smile made Aika's blood boil. She could still remember the way he had manipulated her, used her for his own amusement, and discarded her like trash when he was done. The pain and humiliation he had inflicted on her was still a raw wound, and Aika's desire for revenge was a palpable thing.
She could almost feel her hands closing around his throat, squeezing the life out of him. The image was so vivid, so satisfying, that Aika's eyes seemed to gleam with a fierce light. But she knew she couldn't let her emotions get the better of her. She had to keep her cool, for the sake of her children and her own dignity.
Aika took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She couldn't let Prince Ryker get under her skin, not now, not ever. She was a strong, capable woman, and she wouldn't let him reduce her to a state of mindless rage. But the memory of her hatred for him would stay with her, a constant reminder of the pain he had caused her, and the revenge she would one day exact.
Now Aika thinks about they are far to many people she just hates to the core she would love to strangle even her adaptive family damn it all of them school bullied friends she wanted to crush them. The triplets stared at each other Ayla the oldest one and the most mature one out of the two sighed.
"Oh boy mama is angry," she whispered Penelope laid upside down and she looked at her painted toe nails.
"Poor souls in Azure Empire Galaxy mama is going to crush them like little bugs," Penelope said as she looked at handsome people magazines.
"Humph I will help mama crush those idiots."
Aika's eyes snapped back to her children, a hint of a smile on her lips.
"You're right, my little ones. Mama is going to take care of business. And I won't need any help crushing anyone... yet." She winked at them, and the triplets giggled, sensing their mother's playful tone.
Kingston, the mischievous one, piped up.
"Yeah, Mama's got this! She's the strongest and most beautiful woman in the galaxy!" The triplets all nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with admiration for their mother.
Aika's smile grew wider, her heart swelling with pride and love for her children. She ruffled Kingston's hair.
"And don't forget, my little ones, we're a team. We stick together, no matter what. We're the Frost Family, and we're unstoppable."
The triplets all cheered, their laughter and chatter filling the room. Aika watched them, her mind still simmering with thoughts of revenge and justice, but for now, she was content to bask in the love and adoration of her children. They were her reason for living, and she would do anything to protect and provide for them.
As the conversation continued, Penelope suddenly looked up from her magazine, a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Mama, can we get a new pet? Maybe something that will help us crush our enemies?" Aika raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the suggestion...
"We have Tun Tun," Aika said as she picked up the chubby lazy animal that only sleeps and eats just like its master Aika.
Tun Tun, the chubby animal, snuggled into Aika's arms, its eyes drooping sleepily. The triplets giggled at the sight, and Penelope cooed.
"Aww, Tun Tun is so cute! But, Mama, Tun Tun isn't really a fighting pet, is it?"
"You three Tun Tun can swallow a whole planet tell me is he a fighting animal?"
The triplets' eyes widened in surprise, and they looked at Tun Tun with newfound respect.
"Wow, Tun Tun is that strong?" Ayla asked, her voice filled with awe. Kingston and Penelope nodded, their eyes shining with excitement.
Tun Tun, still snuggled in Aika's arms, let out a contented snort and nuzzled Aika's chest. Aika smiled.
"Yes, Tun Tun may look lazy, but he's a powerful creature. And he's been with me since he was a baby, so he's very loyal."
Penelope's eyes sparkled with mischief.
"I bet Tun Tun could swallow Prince Ryker whole, couldn't he, Mama?" Aika's expression turned stern, but a hint of a smile played on her lips.
"Let's not talk about Prince Ryker right now, okay?"
Aika's eyes seemed to glaze over for a moment, lost in thought. The triplets exchanged a knowing glance, sensing that their mother's mind was still on the topic of Prince Ryker.
Kingston, ever the jokester, tried to lighten the mood.
"Hey, Mama, maybe we can feed Tun Tun some of Prince Ryker's pride and ego. That way, Tun Tun can swallow his whole and we can all be happy!"
The triplets burst out laughing, and Aika couldn't help but chuckle. Tun Tun, startled by the sudden noise, let out a sleepy snort and snuggled deeper into Aika's arms.
Aika smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners.
"You three are something else. But let's focus on more important things... like Tun Tun's next meal. Who's up for some snacks?"
The triplets cheered, and Aika set Tun Tun down on the floor. The chubby animal waddled off towards the kitchen, followed by the triplets. Aika watched them go, a warm feeling in her heart. She was grateful for her children and her life, and she knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, she would face them head-on.
