"You two were just badmouthing me, weren't you?"
Xiu • Bresen walked up to them, his sky-blue eyes filled with scrutiny and irritation, "Isn't there something nicer we can talk about?"
"Ahem, Xiu, be respectful in front of our father, please." With an annoyed look, Reibo glared at him and admonished him in a low voice.
"Big brother, you're just too serious~"
Xiu replied with a carefree shrug, throwing an arm around his brother's shoulder and jerked his chin at Clavo, "Father wouldn't mind at all~"
Reibo turned to Clavo with an innocent expression, "Father, look at him…"
"It's alright." Clavo smiled warmly and nodded, patting an empty spot next to him, "Come, sit."
However, Xiu picked up the poetry book next to Clavo and strolled over to a nearby flower bed to sit down. "Lend me this book. You two carry on with your serious talk."
The old Emperor rolled his eyes, "You've already taken it."
