412 [Bonus chapter]Children’s Outing (1)

The children are sitting by the grass after playing for a while. It is still hours away until the banquet that will be held at night for the twins tenth birthday.

"I am bored." Aliyah sighed. "We have been playing in the garden for quite a while now."

"It would be great if we can go and see the festival in the capital." Deimos said.

"Oh yes. I remember father had ordered a week long festival in the capital city to celebrate our tenth birthday. Right, Al?" Aerith said.

"Yes, I remember father making that order." Alphonse replied. "But we cannot go without any escort knight. As you know, all the knights and apprentice knights have their own tasks for today. Even Philip also has not come back."

"I know right. It is quite weird that he has not come back yet." Aerith said.

"Maybe he caught a cold after getting wet from your trap Rith." Aliyah teased.

"But that was just a little prank." Aliyah felt guilty.
