FREE WILL

"DID you call me, my love?" Mona asked when she saw Nikolai waiting for her in the villa's master bedroom. "Is it the kids?"

She had to cut her conversation with Irina short and excuse herself when Nikolai subtly summoned her via telepathy.

It wasn't a technique that the two of them could use at any time they wanted.

But it worked since they only had a short distance with them.

"My love, do you remember when Nero briefly discussed about what he planned to do with the resentful Spirits of the male Rosehearts that he caught?" Nikolai asked while wrapping an arm around her waist. "Our son has finally made a decision, but he still wants to hear our opinion."

Oh?

That was a huge improvement.

[Nero is the type of child who does whatever he wants. And now that he's the emperor, he doesn't really need our opinion.]

But Mona was glad that her son didn't turn out to be a tyrant.
