Aushuvel could feel a different atmosphere around his cousin as he sat in the emperor’s throne, and he could see him sitting in that very seat even in the far distant future.
He thought that it would be difficult for Helios to maintain the emperor’s dignity because he was just so gentle and kind, but now that he was properly seated in that position, there was a sense of overwhelming pressure from him.

 

Perhaps Helios’ atmosphere itself had changed subtly.

 

“You must have been uncomfortable during your trip, Prince.”

 

“Unlike the Vaughn Kingdom, the sun is beating down much stronger, Your Majesty.”

 

Aushuvel answered Helios with a smile. 

 

Then, Helios rose from his throne, sauntered forward ever so gracefully, and reached out towards Aushuvel.

 

“Heli.”

 

Aushuvel called his name in a hushed voice that only the two of them could hear, and Helios’ green eyes sparkled in the same way that Rosé’s did.
He then hugged Helios, who was about the same height as him.

 

At the same time, the surprised knights around them pulled out their swords urgently.
However, as Helios patted Aushuvel on the back, the knights backed down.

 

“By the way, Your Majesty, I’m not one of your seven-year-old siblings you know.”

 

With a hearty pat on the back, rather than expressing how happy he was that his cousin was here for a visit and welcoming him here, he patted him just as he did with Rosé and Ferre.

Helios belatedly noticed how he hugged Aushuvel, and he took a step back with a smile on his lips.

 

“Of course.
You’re none other than my cousin who’s the same age as me, yes? Rosé and Ferre are already waiting for us at the dining hall.
Shall we go?”

 

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

 

Just as he said, Rosé and Ferre were at the dining hall of the central palace, which had been perfectly prepared to welcome their guest.

 

“Rosé! Ferre! You’ve grown so much!”

 

Aushuvel greeted the two first.
Although there was a big difference in an empire and a kingdom, they could speak comfortably in private as family. 

 

However as they saw Helios and Aushuvel enter, instead of jumping out of their seats, Rosé and Ferre paused and stood upright as they recalled what Sera told them before this.

 

“Your Highnesses, I know it’s been a while since you’ve seen each other, but you should greet His Highness gracefully.”

 

“How gracefully?”

 

“Just like when Your Highnesses greeted His Majesty at the garden before.”

Rosé and Ferre exchanged glances, then soon heeded Sera’s prior request.

 

“It’s been a long time, Your Highness.”

 

Rosé curtsied adorably while lifting her cute knee-length dress slightly.

 

Dazed by Rosé’s graceful figure, Aushuvel looked at Helios with an astonished expression.
He couldn’t believe his eyes.
Obviously, they were still stumbling munchkins the last time he saw them half a year ago.

 

Helios smiled lightly, shrugging his shoulders. 

 

Barely coming back to his senses from seeing Rosé’s unfamiliar behavior, Aushuvel looked back at the children.
Ferre then greeted him in the same graceful manner.

 

“I am this Empire’s Prince, Ferre.”

 

Contrary to the magnanimous greeting, he mentioned his nickname instead of his full name.
At Ferre’s cute mistake, Helios and Aushuvel turned their heads to the side to suppress the overwhelming urge to laugh.

 

Sure enough, Rosé nudged Ferre with her elbow.

 

“Ferre, you idiot! Sera said you should introduce yourself as Ferreritan!”

 

“Ah…! Right!”
