"Then, what will happen next?" Xion asked again.
"Tomorrow, Emma and I will talk about it. Anyway, we've managed to get the king's permission to go to Thaesi to meet Princess Arreya and the rest of Emma's family. I think we can still attend her father's funeral."
Xion nodded understandingly. "I'm glad Emma will be able to meet her mother. She will be happy at last."
He patted Therius on the shoulder. Meanwhile, his friend just took a deep breath.
Therius realized he had prevented Emma from saying the word 'but' earlier. Now his mind became anxious again, thinking about the conditions put forward by the girl before he could marry her.
Hopefully, Emma wouldn't ask him to do the impossible task. He knew, with his powers both as a multiple-element mage, and as the crown prince, there were so many things he could do for her, but he was not a god who could do the impossible.
