TO SAY that Nikolai was shocked by what he heard from Neoma would be an understatement.
[Did that tiny human just call me a sc*mbag?]
He was well-aware that most people call him several names behind his back. But this was the first time that someone had the nerve to say it in front of his face.
[And that person happens to be the royal princess, no less.]
He should be insulted to be cussed at by his own child. But for some reason, he found it quite entertaining.
Ah, no.
It would be more appropriate to say that he found the royal princess amusing.
"Your Majesty," Glenn said as soon as he appeared behind him. "Shall I restrain His Royal Highness?"
"No," Nikolai said. "Go and make sure that no one else will enter the premise. Only I can deal with the Soul Beast anyway."
Even without looking at the knight, he knew that he bowed to him.
"As you wish, Your Majesty," Glenn said before his presence completely disappeared.
