"Don't even think of making her your target," Xion commented.
"Why?" asked Aeron curiously. So far, not a single woman had been able to resist his charm.
"Because she's getting married tomorrow."
"Oh, really?" asked Aeron, disappointed. "It's because she hasn't met me. If she had met me first, she wouldn't be able to love anyone else."
Love?
Unfortunately, Xion knew that tomorrow, Emma would not marry out of love. He was sure of it.
He didn't know what other agreements Therius and Emma had after her father was executed, but Xion could sense that Emma finally married Therius for political reasons. It was something he could never understand.
"It's good that you're here," voiced Xion, hugging Aeron's shoulder. "Would you like to accompany me for a drink? It feels bad drinking alone."
