"No matter how close we are as siblings, once I start my own family, we'll go our separate ways. I can't rely on my brother's success forever."
"A noble resolution."
"Thank you, my lord."
"Honestly, I thought you were worried about your future children having to bow down to Nathan's children one day, but it turns out your reason is far more honorable than I expected."
"…!"
Logan's face flushed bright red at my teasing remark. He bit his lip but said nothing, clearly holding back whatever retort he might have had. He knew better than to challenge me on this, aware of the consequences.
"Nathan, what do you think?" I asked, turning to his brother.
"Me?" Nathan blinked, surprised by the sudden question.
"Should I let your brother participate in the defense, or should I keep him safe at home?"
"Am I really allowed to make that decision?"
