Stunned at what he heard, Drayce found his mouth gaping at this innocent-looking prince. He didn't expect him to say such cruel things. 

Was that really something a four- or five-year-old kid should say? 

Arlan gazed into those red eyes with a smile that was not a smile. For some odd reason,  the usually silly prince gave off a rather mysterious vibe. "I like to reward and punish the way they truly deserve." 

Drayce realized this new friend of his was not a simple brat as he initially thought. Thinking about it, he was not wrong to say the punishment should be given to those who committed a wrongdoing. 

"You said you want to meet my pet, right?" Drayce asked and gestured at the eagle preening itself on his other side of the hideout. "Come here, Dusk."

The eagle came hopping towards them.
