"CALM DOWN, Father."
"How can I calm down?" Nikolai snapped at Nero. "Are you acting up because Neoma isn't here?"
On his way home earlier, William had suddenly appeared in his carriage to inform him that Mona decided to send Neoma to the "secret base" that Neoma's "children" had built for her. After saying that, the Grand Spirit left without offering a longer explanation.
It was the reason why he was eager to meet Mona.
But he knew Nero wouldn't "summon" him without a proper reason, so he went to see his son first.
[Only to hear this nonsense?!]
"Father, why are you getting mad?"
"Give me a reason not to be mad, Nero de Moonasterio," he said, then he closed his eyes while pinching the bridge of his nose. He thought Nero was more mature than Neoma. But why was his son giving him a bigger headache than his daughter now? "If you give up your right to the throne, you'll just give the crows what they want."
