Of course that surprised Neil. A voice that he didn't want to hear anymore suddenly came. "Aerus," he whispered without realizing it.
"Yes, it's me," replied Prince Aerus aloud. Although emotions overwhelmed him, he would not take it out on Lia. So his arm was still holding her tightly, without the slightest emphasis. Although actually…. Explode!
"Did you just come back from where you live?" asked Neil anxiously. "Are you with Lia at the moment?"
"Of course," Prince Aerus nodded. "We spent a long and beautiful night together. We'll have a baby soon."
"Aerus!" shouted Lia in a whisper. But when she saw the sharp gaze of the prince, her lips became silent again. Her head lowered.
"Ba-baby?" Neil's lips curled into a bitter grin. "You're not even married yet. Lia is a conventional girl."
