Rion's gaze scared Zen, and the boy immediately realized his mistake. Rion closed his eyes for a moment, then held Zen's head gently.
"I'm sorry," he said. He suddenly got annoyed when Zen said 'when Odette becomes the queen' because it meant that Odette would replace Rose.
No!
No one could replace Rose and he wouldn't let anyone take Rose's place.
"It's okay. I also would like to apologize, if I made you angry," Zen said, then smiled broadly. Rion replied from behind his mask, saying that it was fine.
After that, he gave the food that he bought to Zen. He then sent the boy back to find Odette and Daniel. He also gave money to Zen to settle the bill for Daniel's treatment and his needs while Daniel was still being treated. Rion himself had planned to return to the palace.
"Tell Odette that I went back to the palace, because I have important work to do," he said.
"Alright." Zen nodded obediently, and Rion immediately left.
