King Alfred's smile widened at Meena's words, but Emperor Kerin quickly denied these accusations.
"Close? We are not close! Stop trying to spread false information. I not for my mother and the peace of our nation, I would have thrown this man out long ago."
Kerin assured everyone, but it did not sound reassuring when he took no action.
King Alfred was even free to roam around the temple without supervision, which looked like indulging behaviour in most people's eyes.
"Aww, don't be like that, Emperor Kai. You are a cute kid, but you look ugly when you frown. So, you should always smile and express your best to the people."
King Alfred tried to reach out toward the emperor, but Kerin quickly dodged and walked away.
"Wow, I cannot believe our emperor acted shy like this. Looks like having an omega around a bidding alpha does the trick."
