Chapter 369: Young
Chapter Three Sixty-Nine – Young!
Zeldris hugged the twins when he found them. Before he’d been thinking of how he’d die alone but after realizing that the twins were gone, he didn’t think he’d get to live long enough to die old.
Princess Laurel will kill him for losing her children.
That’s if he didn’t die of depression before that.
"Don’t do that again." Zeldris warned the two. He wanted to sound tough and strict but his voice was filled with relief and had a teary edge.
Mira laughed and Marino felt better that Zeldris was no longer sad. He pulled him towards a table with cake. "Let’s eat cake, Zeldis. Can we bring cake to Princess?"
Zeldris smirked. Was that his way to apologize? "We’d need a whole table to satisfy her. Do you have the strength?" he poked at the little boy’s tiny muscles.
Marino looked at his small arms and shook his head when he saw nothing impressive, feeling disappointed at his absent muscles. It made Zeldris and Mira laugh at him.
Like a creep, Lady Cara had been watching the twins with Zeldris since Prince Sorren found them. She wanted to see if he’d dare speak that way to Prince Sorren.
What she found was that he was polite and even willing to help the Prince. What’s more was that it seemed the Prince thought well of him and had even smiled?!
That’s not what she expected but she wasn’t displeased at what she saw because this Zeldris was also really good with kids and she felt like she misunderstood him.
The twins acted like it was their older brother speaking and that might mean he treated them that way.
