Chapter: 206
The child’s body was small and fragile.
Kaizen patted Theor’s back with his clumsy hand as he walked slowly.
A small sniff could be heard in his arms. Kaizen patted Theor on the back, comforting him tenderly.
“It’s okay. Nothing to be afraid of. With me, no one can catch you.”
His body, which had been trembling, gradually found stability.
Kaizen brought up another topic to distract him
“When I go to the capital, I will go to the zoo and show you a real live bear.”
“Really?”
Theor raised his face at the word bear.
“Yeah. Let’s go to the park in the square and buy some toys in the shopping mall.”
Although he had never raised children, he worked hard to come up with things that children would love.
He’ll have to get his attention on anything so he’ll break free from his fears.
“Go to a place that sells sweets, buy candy canes, and see a play at the theater……”
Theor asked in surprise, “A play? Does anyone in the capital do plays?”
“Yeah, there are several theaters. Do you like a play?”
Theor recalled a play he had seen with Astelle a few months ago.
When a traveling troupe came to the village where they lived, Astelle took Theor to see a play every day.
Theor fell in love with the first play he had ever seen.
After the play, Astelle asked the head of the troupe to take Theor backstage.
When he entered the preparation room made by pitching a tent, the actors were dressing up and changing clothes.
Theor was a little shocked to learn that the prince and princess he saw on stage were actually fakes made by actors.
But after hearing his mother’s explanation, Theor quickly understood what a play was.
The two went to the theater a few more times after that.
Theor became very fond of theater.
“Yes! I like plays. It’s fun.”
