After talking with Nux, Azriel materialized inside his mansion in Yrniel's Core. The moment he did, he sensed a presence.
A light smile appeared on his face as he walked into a room, and inside, he saw an extremely adorable girl sitting on the bed with her red face tucked into her knees and covered by her arms.
Seeing his daughter in that state, Azriel couldn't help but chuckle gently. Then, as he walked closer to her, he realized something.
"You were listening."
Aeliana's body momentarily flinched, but she soon realized that there was no point in trying to hide anything.
"Did he know?"
She questioned in an extremely low voice that melted Azriel's heart.
"He did not. How could he see through my daughter's tricks?"
Azriel laughed as he ruffled Aeliana's hair.
