King Johannes watched the twins while they were insulting each other. He let out a helpless sigh before approaching them. Without a word, he effortlessly pulled the twins until they were both standing on their own feet.
"You two were acting like nothing happened tonight." King Johannes commented.
Then the two young men flinched at the same time.
"About that... We are confident that you already know what to do. We are just acting!" Russel said before nudging his elbow on Gian's arm. "Right?"
"...Right. We both know you already have a plan so we are acting like this."
"So you two were not really worried about me when Jonathan 'stabbed' me earlier?"
"That..."
Russel awkwardly coughed and Gian turned his head in another direction.
"Well... We are worried. We thought, you really died." Gian had difficulty saying those words. He still feels shy and awkward whenever he talks to their real father.
