"So…both of them like you?"
"Yes."
"And you don't want either of them?"
"Well, not right now. I mean, I have too many things I'm doing right now. Besides, my parents said-"
"Your parents?!"
"Ya, what's wrong with that?"
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Elanev spoke with a measured tone.
"Your Highness, permission to treat you like my little brother instead of your Royal self?"
Hearing the slight tone of mockery in Elanev's voice, Daneel was honestly puzzled.
Still, he just said, "Yes, go on," but immediately regretted it afterward.
"If you weren't the King, my fist would have kissed your face by now!"
The sharp remark of Elanev's surprised Daneel, almost making him miss a step on the way to the jail of the Palace.
This entire thing had started because of his decision to ask his big brother for advice regarding the matter of Sister Xuan and Eloise.
