"Ma, are we yet not done with the shopping? You still want to go the other day? We have already shopped so much and have got so many shopping bags. And on top of that, all this shopping is not for any of us but that witch. I am not going anymore. Hmph!"
Shin You Jun complained grumpily as he entered the palace with several shopping bags in his hands. The way he was dragging his stature was making him look tired and haggard but with his face, he was looking all perfect. It was just an attitude of tiresomeness, he was showing to let his mother know that he was still not liking her preference for another kid that was not him.
"I think the bags are not heavy enough to make you realize your mistake, dear! Okay for the next time I will keep in mind to add more weight on your hands to realize it" Chen Rui said as she simply flapped her hair on her shoulders in nonchalance before taking her seat on the sofa. For the whole time, she was punishing her son in her own style.
It was a tiresome day for her but she enjoyed it. Shopping for good dresses for a daughter has always been on her wishlist but she never got a chance to do it. But with Li Xue around now, she can happily go around to shop for her, not only for her but also for her 5-years old daughter. How blissful!
"Ma, I am your son. Do you really have to side with that witch? You have never been this way with any others, even with the closest cousins. What's so good in that heartless woman?" Shin You Jun asked, pouting his lips out like a sullen kid, who was deliberately ignored. "You did not even see that she did wrong there and also kicked that manager out his job, even after his desperate begging"
"You Jun, didn't I already ask you to note your tone and manners? Is this how you treat and talk about your elder sister. Don't forget I have taken her as my daughter and any words against her would be taken as the words against me. So, are you going against your mother now?" Chen Rui warned with frowning brows. Her eyes, already letting the young boy know the line of manners.
The Crown Prince knew better to not ignore his mother's challenges, especially when she was getting all fierce and protective for someone. "Nope, I could not dare that mother. But I don't like her and you have never forced me to like someone, out of my wish. She is just …"
The Queen sighed before she could even hear his son complete his words. "Dear, that's because you are judging her on the basis of your wrong encounters. The way you have treated her, she has treated you the same. Didn't I always say to you that giving tic for tac is not wrong? Or is your one bike race failure has put you on such an edge that you have forgotten all my teachings?"
"Ma, I am the Crown Prince and she doesn't respect my title"
"And did you give her the same respect you are asking from her?" Chen Rui asked, getting straight at the point. Talking in circles was not her thing. She saw her son downing his head with some guilt as she continued.
"Respects doesn't come with the monarchical title, only fear comes. If you are desiring for respect, then better start respecting others first". The Queen said. There was no way she would be a mother to support her son in wrong. If he does wrong then he needs to know that, so that he could change for the better.
Shin You Jun did not say anything. He just avoided meeting the gaze of his mother. But right then a deep voice let the two know its presence from a distance. "You two are back from shopping. What are you talking about? Did something happen?"
Shin You Jun's eyes instantly shined on the sight of his father. Keeping the bags at once on the sofa, he looked at his father with puppy eyes. His mother has betrayed him but he was sure, his father will surely agree with him.
"Oh nothing, I was just letting our son know how to be more better with manners. What else do you think?" Chen Rui said with a smile as she looked at her husband.
Shin Tinming's heart melted when he sighted that satisfied smile on his wife's lips. With one look he was sure that her day has gone well and she was all happy. But his brows scrunched a little when he saw the desperate look at the face of his son.
With his arms at his back, he wrinkled his brows at his son and asked, "What's with that expression? Are you practising to become a puppy instead of becoming something better?" His words came out all sarcastically. Like every father, he has always loved his son, but his love has never been a hindrance to his son's personality building. He wanted his son to be the best one and for that, he was both an understanding friend and a strict trainer to him.
"Dad, Ma has been hypnotized by that wit …" Shin Yu Jun was about to again call Li Xue with the title of 'witch' when suddenly felt the glare of his mother and quickly changed his words. "Ma has been hypnotized by that elder sister who saved your life at the hospital. I think she has cast some spell on her that even knowing that she was wrong and heartless at the place, Ma decided to support her. Do you know she has even allowed her to call with the close title of mother now?"
Shin You Jun complained about everything with the hope that maybe his father could help him in the situation. But the reaction that came from his father only made him lose all his hopes.
"From when did you start reading witchcraft? It would be better if you focus more on your course study, You Jun. Your exams will soon be at that door" Shin Tinming said with all nonchalance and then turning to look at his wife, he said all sincerely. "And always keep in mind, apart from being your mother, she is also the Queen of Chiboa. No one can question her apart from the King, himself".
