Gernard hadn't expected Lucas to be so direct.

He wondered if Lucas had any sense of boundaries.

Gernard frowned slightly as he looked at Lucas and said, "Naturally, it's something between her and me, and it has nothing to do with you."

Lucas, however, replied with a half-smile, "I don't believe you."

Aveline ignored Lucas and said to Gernard, "Let's go over there."

A short distance away, a small park lay bathed in warm sunlight, a few people leisurely strolling along its paths. The air was filled with a light breeze, just enough to feel refreshing without a hint of chill. "Alright."

Gernard nodded and walked with Aveline toward the park. After a few steps, he glanced back at Lucas with a look of mockery in his eyes.

Lucas just stared at Aveline for a long moment before sighing in resignation.

What else could he do? Right now, she was his queen, and he had to keep her happy!

In the park, Gernard asked, "Have you made up with him?"

Aveline shook her head. "No."

Gernard looked at her, puzzled. "But you're here together with him."
