"Jean, do you know what you're playing with right now?" 

Little Jean was dazed for a moment, not knowing how to reply to that question. Because he got caught red-handed playing with a dark sphere, forbidden magic in the empire and probably in the whole continent. 

"Un… ah!" The dark sphere disappeared from Little Jean's hand immediately, and he put his hand behind. Little Jean lowered his head, unable to say anything, just like a little kid that had been caught red-handed. 

Raphael only showed a smile and asked Little Jean again, "Jean, do you know what was that?" 

"Un…" Little Jean shook his head, but of course, Raphael knew that Little Jean was trying to run away from his mistake. Which was alright for a little kid.

Jean was probably too scared to admit it since Raphael was the next saint. 

Raphael smiled and grabbed Little Jean's hand carefully. He asked Jean to open his palm and then caressed the smooth palm of his fiancee.
