After Astra and Mars happily left for their date, King Jaren caught hold of Mana and Raven.
"What did you do?" he demanded.
Raven became nervous immediately, but Mana patted his arm comfortingly. "I'll explain to Papa," she told him.
"Yes, even I want to know how you two managed it – you refused to give me the details last evening," Jules complained.
Bella, too, revealed a curious expression.
Grandpa and Grandma had already retired for their post-lunch siesta, and Azar was snoozing on King Jaren's lap as usual.
Mana launched into an explanation of how she and Raven had managed to deliver the love potion to Astra and notified her about it in a sneaky manner – and how it was ultimately Astra's hand that had made their plan a success.
