Chapter 555
Once hearing him say this a little nonchalantly, I looked at him surprised. Immediately asking about the real motives behind such beliefs. — "? If it was not because of that... then what was the reason?"
"Well... Weren’t you concerned a moment ago about what happened with that lady at your birthday celebration? You have to talk with the brat and clear things up before you can tell him to escort you on this visit. Otherwise, you cannot go since you do not want myself to go with you and I only agreed if he’s with you."
"..."
"It cannot be that you forgot about this matter. May it? You have frowned all this journey so it cannot be..."
"Uh... I-I did kind of forget it for a moment... Y-yet it will be alright! I can tell it was nothing! I have now cleared my thoughts about it, he only needs to confirm it, Dad."
"Pff, haha~ So carefree you are~ Even so, give him a little scare, yes? Don’t let him have your trust for granted this early. The brat should learn to thread wisely when it comes to my child."
"You keep calling him a brat..."
"Let me have that much, I’m letting him court you, for crying out loud..."
"Hahaha~"
Our conversation went back to the easiness we are used to sharing. The city slowly changed its shades so sunset would conquer and faded as we entered the grounds of the Royal Palace, not letting me see anything of what I would later learn had been left at its doors.
