"So? Why did you send him away?"
Zayden sat where Ren had been sitting until now, turning toward his brother.
"No reason."
A brief silence followed before Zayden asked, "How did things go with Crown Prince Rihaan?"
Soren shrugged.
"The Emperor sent me away as if he were his son and not me," he scoffed, though his gaze lowered slightly.
He needed to be there to know what they had discussed. After all, he needed to know if Crown Prince Rihaan had changed his mind about their marriage.
"But how did your date with Ren go?" he asked, quickly changing the subject.
"A date?.." A hint of red colored Zayden's cheeks as he tried to hide them behind his forearm.
"Ha ha ha, I never thought I would live long enough to see my little brother blushing," Soren chuckled, teasing him as he took a sip of his tea.
"I don't know… but I think there has been a lot of progress. He talks to me, tells me his opinion. And jokes! Can you believe?"
The red-haired man hummed.
