Alderaan stared at her and shook his head. 'My uncle did not make good decisions even if he is older than you and the king.'
"Well, Therius is a lot smarter than him," Emma said. "He knows that fighting and conflict is not a good path."
'But even if he knows that… what if he doesn't feel that way?' Alderaan asked.
Emma looked at the boy and only chuckled as she gave him a hug. "It's incredible that you can point out a lot of things that most won't notice. I'm glad that you're quite mature for your age, keep being that way, okay?"
'Okay.' Alderaan nodded.

The days quickly passed by for Emma during the semester break, and while she went out and spent hours with her friends and explored different places in Winstad, she always made sure to quickly return to Therius' side.
It was a little difficult to concentrate on having fun with her friends and classmates during those times, but she did her best not to worry.
