Asterion returned back to his palace, only to find Ether in her armour, sitting with a woman and a man who had their backs to Asterion.
Asterion instantly quickened his steps, easily understanding the expression of awkwardness on Ether's face even when she had her helmet on.
As soon as Ether spotted him, she gave an what-kind-of-mess-did-you-leave-me-with kind of expression.
Even before Asterion could reach them, he heard a loud laughter coming from the woman, only to realise that it was his dear sister, Princess Nerine.
The moment he stepped near the garden chairs, he spotted his brother Prince Zayle sitting across both the ladies, though for others there was only one lady i.e Princess Nerine over here as the other person was Major Aither.
"Brother, did you know what happened!" Nerine exclaimed as soon as she saw Asterion coming to them.
