Chapter 115: Can enchant anyone
After Dylan was taken away, Magnus shifted his gaze at Rubin. "Are you satisfied now? Dylan will face consequences once he’s brought to the capital," Magnus declared.
"Let’s not jump to conclusions, Brother," Izaak interjected, rising from his seat. Turning to Rubin, he revealed, "Our father, the King, shares a close bond with Dylan. There’s a chance he may escape severe punishment." With that, Izaak vanished from the room.
Rubin turned to Magnus, seeking confirmation, "Is that true, Your Highness?"
"I believe my brother was jesting. Our father wouldn’t be unjust to you," Magnus reassured Rubin, though uncertainty lingered in his words.
"Rubin, trust in my husband’s word," Alora chimed in, her touch comforting as she placed her hand on his arm, her gaze brimming with affection for Magnus. "Prince Magnus keeps his promises. You can rely on him. He’s proven it to me countless times," she affirmed.
Magnus chuckled at her praise. "You flatter me, my dear. Don’t heap too much praise upon me," he quipped with am amusing expression gracing his face.
"I trust Prince Magnus," Rubin said. "I thought Princess Alora used to wear the blindfold. That’s what I heard from the people," he clarified as Magnus looked at him once again.
"Alora decided to not live like a blind person when she’s not the one," Magnus replied.
Rubin settled into the seat across from them, a silent acknowledgment of his newfound ease with Magnus.
"But I don’t look at anyone with bare eyes. So, Rubin doesn’t need to fear me," Alora stated with a tiny smile on her lips.
"Then, how can she look at Prince Magnus?" Rubin was curious to know.
