Questioning The Duke (2)
It was still a wonder to him 'till this day how his mother could fall for the duke. But, the person whom he admired the most was his cousin, Ophelia, since the first time she had come, she was never afraid of facing the duke. She held her ground well and carried herself dignifiedly.
This was the reason why the siblings' first impression towards Ophelia had been great already. Besides, the further they had interacted with her, the more they had discovered how talented and well-behaved Ophelia was.
Thus, making them more fonder of their cousin, although they knew their father remained neutral no matter how good she was. He was only lenient to her solely due to her powerful magic.
Anyway, looking at the situation now, Tristan wasn't sure whether to continue the conversation. The duke didn't seem to be in a great mood and he looked exceptionally tired. Tristan was worried that his father might blow up again if he began questioning him.
