Emma didn't realize she was holding her breath, waiting for Therius to respond. Finally, the man suddenly chuckled and kissed his wife's forehead. He talked with Emma in a soothing voice and ignored Solar ready for a handshake.
"Hmm, you must have been so worried about my reaction. What were the chances that the young master from Blyze family looks like Haoran, after all?" Therius glanced at Emma with a tired smile.
Emma felt relief sink into her body as she looked up at Therius. "It really bothered me… but I was scared that you'd change your mind about letting me attend the Mage Academy with him around."
"I would never do that to you, Emma," Therius said.
Solar lowered his hand and watched the couple interact with each other. The king wasn't as hot headed as Solar expected him to be… but that was probably because his wife was around?
Ah, Solar wasn't easily moved or fooled by displays such as this one.
