Chapter 427: Under One Roof
In the end, Abel didn’t manage to convince Dani to travel in his mist form despite his best interests, so instead he just followed her by boarding Admiral Sixto’s ship. He had a lot of work waiting for him back home, so it would’ve been best for him to travel ahead, and yet he still chose not to. Currently sitting on one of the many vacant benches on the deck, Abel let out a heavy sigh as he stared out at the ocean.
"Am I disturbing you?"
Looking up, he saw Admiral Sixto just as he sat next to him. He was a good friend to him and he was from Braun Clan who remained neutral in practically everything. They were very loyal and supportive to Nikolai’s father, the former King Arturo, and to Nikolai himself ever since they saw how well they were ruling their kingdom. Unlike the Rossi and Wagner Clans, they weren’t in the opposition, but they made sure they were heard on things they believed would negatively affect the kingdom and their people as a whole.
"Not at all," Abel replied.
"Looks like your trip to Ebodia and meeting Lady Dani’s family kept you in deep thought," Sixto remarked as he sat next to him. "Lady Zaila told me how strict Lady Dani’s family is and how they oppose other beings aside from their kind. But you’re once human, Abel, so perhaps that helped in your favor?"
"Well, I managed to handle Dani’s parents well, but her brother is quite different," Abel muttered. "He even called me a monster earlier."
To be honest, such words didn’t matter to him before. He didn’t care about being called a monster. But now, he felt a bit hurt hearing it from one of Dani’s family; someone whom Dani cared for.
"What?! Big brother called you that?!"
