Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 327 Strange Relationship

Yumilia returned home, and it was late. She left the jar of pickled vegetables and half a bunch of plum blossoms in the kitchen, but she had no interest in researching new flavors of cream puffs now.

He took out the gift certificate and looked at it; the social gathering was on Saturday, which was three days from now.

"Sigh, I've already told you I'm not suitable," Yumilia said helplessly.

If she goes there like this, she'll probably be mistaken for someone's child.

After thinking about it, she decided to keep it for now.

"I should ask Caesar if he'd like to go. Hmm... actually, he could bring Ita along. It would be nice for them to make friends at these kinds of gatherings." She thought to herself, and then went upstairs to ask Caesar.

As soon as I got upstairs, I saw Ita leaning against the wall, hunched over, and moving around with great difficulty.

“Ita? What are you doing here?” Yumilia asked as she stepped forward.

"Huh? Yumilia, Yumilia?" Ita turned around abruptly and saw her looking panicked.

Yumilia noticed something was wrong and quickly went over to ask, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I, I'm fine, Yumilia, please, please don't..."

Ita seemed terrified of Yumilia's approach and staggered backward.

"What's wrong? Your face is so red, and you're sweating so much." Yumilia pulled her back and cupped her face in concern.

Upon feeling Yumilia's physical contact, Ita's expression seemed even more panicked, yet he also appeared completely limp.

"Do you have a fever? Should we go to the hospital?" Yumilia asked.

"Yumeria, Yumilia," Ita gasped, her body trembling slightly. She slowly nestled into Yumilia's embrace, rubbing her face against her chest.

"Eh?"

Yumilia seemed to only then realize that something was amiss, a kind of amiss that she herself couldn't quite understand.
"What's wrong, Ita? Just tell Yumilia." She gently stroked Ita's back.

"Ugh," Ita only let out a low hum.

"Ita! It's not over yet, where have you been?"

Caesar emerged from around the corner and immediately spotted Ita, who was nestled in Yumilia's arms.

"Caesar, come quick! Ita seems off. Did you two do something just now?" Yumilia called out to him.

"Uh, that..."

Caesar rushed over and picked Itta up.
"It's okay. We just went out for a run together and she's a little tired. I'll take her to take a shower."

He then quickly picked up Ita and left.

"Take a bath? Both of you together?" Yumilia asked, tilting her head.

After reading alone in the living room for more than half an hour, Caesar and Itta finally finished their showers and came down the stairs in their bathrobes.

However, Ita still seemed a little unsteady on her feet, walking step by step with her arm around Caesar's.

"Ita, are you feeling better?" Yumilia asked.

At this point, Caesar couldn't help but laugh out loud. Yumilia was still wondering when Ita pouted and glared at Caesar, then let go of him and rushed into Yumilia's arms, hugging her tightly.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Tell Yumilia what's wrong."

"Yumeria, Caesar, Caesar bullied me," Ita sobbed.

"Caesar, how could you bully Ita?" Yumilia frowned and glared at Caesar.

"Yes, yes, then I'll let her bully me back?" Caesar sat down.

Upon hearing this, Ita, who had been sobbing, fell silent, burying her head in Yumilia's arms, and it was clear that the little dragon's ears had turned bright red.

"Sigh, I really don't understand you young people," Yumilia sighed.

However, it seems that their relationship has improved?
"By the way, Yumilia, did you find any inspiration when you went out?" Caesar changed the subject. "Sort of, but I'll rest for today and try again tomorrow," Yumilia said, stroking Ita's hair in her arms.

"However, we can't finish all the cream puffs we made. We can give them to Kardashian to share with the servants, and we can send some of the rest to Mrs. Fiona and the others."

Yumilia was making plans.

"Let's just keep it at home. Sending it out doesn't seem right to the neighbors," Caesar said with a chuckle.

"Oh, by the way, I ran into Mrs. Winnie on the street, and she gave me this."

Yumilia hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately took out the gift certificate for the social gathering.

"what is that?"

Caesar took it and looked at it; his expression turned strange.

"Social afternoon tea? Or something like 'Flower and Moon'?"

He looked at Yumilia: "Social gathering?"

“Mmm.” Yumilia nodded. “Mrs. Winnie said that couples can go and exchange feelings, and singles can make friends. I don’t need it, so I was thinking that if you have time, Caesar, you could bring Ita along. It would be nice if you could all have some fun together.”

When Ita heard that she was also involved, she looked up and curiously examined the gift certificate.

She flipped through the pages, then pouted slightly.

“It’s just a social gathering, what’s so great about it? Dealing with people at work is troublesome enough, I don’t want to go looking for more trouble.” After she finished speaking, she snuggled into Yumilia’s arms again.

"Don't say that. You can also make friends and such. When you go, you can exchange experiences with other couples and strengthen your relationship, right?" Yumilia said.

Ita paused for a moment in her arms, then said shyly:
"Yumeria... me, Caesar and I, to deepen our relationship and such."

“Yes, your relationship has matured, and I’ll feel more at ease after you get married, right?” Yumilia said.

“Yumeria.”

Ita cried out sweetly, gently punched her thigh, then shrank back and remained silent.

“But, Yumilia, have you forgotten that Ita and I cannot reveal our relationship in public for the time being?” Caesar reminded her.

"Oh, I... I forgot," Yumilia suddenly remembered.

Because of the relationship between the Frederick family and the kingdom, the true relationship between Caesar and Itha is currently kept secret from the public. Even if it is said that they are just ordinary business partners, they certainly cannot attend public gatherings on important occasions together.

“In that case, this is useless.” Yumilia said, holding the gift certificate in her hand.

"Uh, Mrs. Winnie, did she initially send this gift certificate hoping that you, Yumilia, would attend?" Caesar asked.

“Ah, yes, she saw that I was always alone, so she…” Yumilia said with a helpless smile.

“She really is a worrywart,” Caesar couldn’t help but say.

"hey-hey."

Caesar is not lacking in a complete family now, and besides, he has always been content as long as he has Yumilia.

"Alright, it's just a party ticket. Besides, we're not short of social interactions, and it's not a particularly important occasion. If it's convenient, see if you can give it to someone else. If no one wants it, just throw it away," Caesar said.
"Hehe, I can give it to my daughter, Delina. She's always complaining that she's single and doesn't have time to date," Ita said with a grin.

Yumilia held the gift certificate, gazing at it for a while, and suddenly said, "Caesar, shall we go with Yumilia?"

Upon hearing this, both children fell silent. Caesar, sitting opposite them, was stunned, and Ita also raised his head.

“Yumeria? What, what did you say?” Ita’s eyes widened.

"Well, I was thinking, since I'm pretty free anyway, and it's been a long time since I went out with Caesar, so..." Yumilia shifted her gaze, her cheeks flushed.

Caesar's eyes twitched slightly. He didn't believe Yumilia was unaware that these kinds of gatherings only had two states: singles and couples. Singles were there to find a partner, while couples were seen as lovers by onlookers.
