NIKOLAI's excitement towards the new technique that he had used died quickly when he realized that he had broken Mona's main weapon. "I'm so sorry, my love…"
"No, don't be," Mona said while shaking her head. "The main jewel isn't broken, so I can still fix it."
He was relieved to hear that.
His wife looked like she had something to say, but stopped when the air changed.
But it wasn't a hostile presence.
In fact, it was a welcome one.
"Mother, Father, we're here."
Nikolai nodded while Mona smiled when Nero materialized in front of them.
Their son wasn't alone.
Dahlia bowed towards them politely. "Greetings, Your Majesties."
Nikolai just nodded in response.
"It's good to see you again, Dahlia," Mona said, smiling. "Thank you for accompanying our son here."
Dahlia's face turned red as if she was shy. "I-I'm just doing my job, Your Majesty…"
