"Adis, my boy, I miss you! hahaha!" Triton approached the edge of the lake. His fishtail turned into a man's feet as he touched the ground and moved towards Adis.
Triton ruffled Adis' hair which made the crowd around them gasped and trembled in anxiety. No one could do that to the King of Umbra except the Queen. However, very few people knew the importance of the retired General to Adis and to his two younger siblings. Furthermore, Adis looked up to him and respected him like his real father, so any royal etiquette was not applicable between them.
To everyone's surprise, the King of Umbra even made a barely noticeable smile upon getting Triton's attention.
"Please visit the Dark Palace sometimes. Haru misses you always," Adis softly requested.
"And Adis, too!" Haru added in, then hugged Adis' arm tightly.
