Chapter 464: MY NA IS...
HANNA clasped her hands together, praying that nothing serious had happened to Nero.
Since she and the others weren’t allowed in the emperor’s room, the head butler of the Yule Palace ushered them to the drawing room. Now, she was sitting on the sofa while Ruto (who borrowed the kitchen earlier), was serving tea for her.
On the other hand, Lewis was sitting on the chair across from him. The fox boy didn’t want to sit initially, but she reminded him that he was currently a guest in the emperor’s palace and not as Neoma’s knight. Lewis then sat down reluctantly.
[At least he listened to .]
“This tea will help you calm down, Lady Hanna,” Ruston Stroganoff said after he served her and Lewis each a cup of tea that he brewed himself. “Lewis, drink the tea instead of staring at it.”
Lewis, who was obviously not listening to Ruston Stroganoff, just continued staring at the teacup in front of him.
[He really doesn’t like the viscount.]
.....
Hanna smiled at the young chef. “Thank you, Viscount Stroganoff. Lewis and I appreciate the tea you brewed for us.”
“Don’t ntion it,” the young lord said, then he sat on the other end of the sofa that Lewis occupied. “And please feel free to address by my nickna, Lady Hanna. I am not used to hearing people address by my father’s lesser title.”
She smiled and nodded. “If you insist, Lord Ruto.”
He acknowledged her by nodding, then he looked back and forth between her and Lewis. “I know that the two of you are worried about Neoma and Prince Nero. But if it’s any consolation, please be assured that the royal twins are both safe.”
That was a relief to hear, but...
“How did you know that?” Lewis asked the young lord indifferently. “We only heard the gist of what’s happening from Princess Neoma earlier.”
She nodded in agreent.
All they heard from Neoma was the fact that Nero was going through his second Awakening as a de Moonasterio, and it looked like things weren’t going well.
The worried look on Neoma’s face earlier scared her.
[She wouldn’t show that kind of emotion if Nero wasn’t in a dire state.]
“If either Neoma or Prince Nero gets into a life-threatening situation because of the Soul Beasts, the Moon Priest would let us know since he’s the one responsible for them,” Lord Ruto explained. “The fact that the Moon Priest isn’t here yet only ans that Prince Nero is going through his Awakening just fine.”
For so reason, Lord Ruto sounded trustworthy.
Before she knew it, the young lord’s comforting words already put her at ease.
Lewis frowned, but she could tell that the fox boy was also relieved by Lord Ruto’s assurance.
[Ah, now I know.]
Hanna realized why Neoma liked Lord Ruto the most out of all the boys around her.
[Lord Ruto is probably the person who can soothe Neoma the best when she’s having a hard ti.]
***
MONA was relieved when Nero’s chest wound finally stopped bleeding.
But there was still a thorn left in her heart because her other child, her Baby Muffin, felt the sa pain that her son was feeling wherever he was at the mont.
“William, look after Nero for a mont,” Mona said to the Grand Spirit, then she walked towards the wall to take a look at Neoma. She could see her daughter’s image on the transparent screen created by the communication device attached to the corners of the wall. “Baby Muffin, how are you feeling now?”
Neoma, who was sitting on Nikolai’s bed while leaning against the headboard, smiled at her reassuringly. she said, then she put a hand over her chest.
Nikolai nodded in agreent.
