Javier threw his hands up at the empty air.
"Oi, Ari! Aria! We're not even finished!!"
For a moment, silence. Then Gloria's body shifted slightly, Aria's lazy voice slipping out.
"If you want to know, go ask Garius~. I'm going back to sleep. Yaaawn~"
Javier grit his teeth.
"Ugh… you know it's hard to ask something like that with Father, right?"
Instead of sympathy, a soft chuckle drifted into his ears.
"Well…" her voice purred faintly, fading like a dream, "…good luck, handsome~."
Javier grit his teeth, jaw tightening in frustration.
Then, his lips curved into a sly smirk.
"Well, whatever. If both of you don't want to tell me, that's fine. Since I'm growing up and will become an adult soon, I'll marry both Liana and Gloria anyway. Ah~ can't wait for our honeymoon." He let out a low chuckle, eyes half-closed with mischief. "You both said you feel the same, right? You already know it."
From within, Aria's soft laugh slipped through, playful and warm.
