Kanaru and Ushka flinched and asked almost identical questions in melding voices. The king didn't even realize who asked which. He just found it funny. However, when Ushka glared at the bird prince, Fenris only chuckled to take their attention.
"Half of my life suddenly sprouted out of nowhere… all the feelings I was robbed of, the happiness I thought I had…" The king then sighed and massaged his forehead. "Don't tell Dio for now. I don't want him to sit me down while I'm facilitating Rodnir's wedding."
Swoosh! The bird prince glanced at the side and noticed a shadow move away from sight. He would have alarmed them, but he figured it was Dio. There was no awful feeling, so it couldn't be a threat. Moreover, he noticed the two guards just glanced at the person who ran away. If that were a suspicious person, the guards wouldn't have stayed standing.
