INSIDE A ROYAL PALACE, ONE MONTH LATER
ZAVIER
The palace was somehow louder now, not because of politics, not because of nobles, not because of Riko. Actually, Riko was definitely contributing, but the main reason was currently sitting in my lap making tiny growling noises at absolutely nothing.
"Grrr."Ana growled.
Ana stared at a stuffed rabbit.
"Grrr."She repeated.
The rabbit remained completely innocent.
"Grrr."She repeated again.
"Ana."I looked down.
She immediately looked up at me then she giggled, then she growled again.
"She is practicing."Adam nearly collapsed emotionally.
"Practicing what?" I asked.
"Intimidation."Adam said.
"She is three months old."I said.
"Exactly."Adam nodded.
Across the room Rosana was openly crying.
"She sounds just like Adam."Rosana said.
"I do not growl."I said.
Adam paused as everyone stared at him.
"Often."I sighed.
