"What's the matter, Duke Rakkalan?"
His cold eyes were still looking at me attentively.
"You have changed, Akion." He didn't smile at all. Even his expression was illegible.
Did you know that Duke Rakkalan is often likened to me? Because we have predatory eyes and cold faces. People even call us a pair of separate fathers and sons.
Unfortunately, my other physical features are not similar at all to Duke Rakkalan.
As I tilted my face with a small smile he let go of the folds of his hand.
"I think you are more expressive now."
"Is that a bad thing, Duke Rakkalan?"
"No. That's bad if you can't protect yourself." He looked at me fiercely. The air around us changed a little bit. This is not a threat, but a warning from him.
I looked at him bravely.
