"Father!" Drayce giggled. "Wah, Father is carrying me! Thank you, Father!"
He immediately hugged his father, resting his head on the crook of his shoulder as if wanting to enjoy this moment.
King Theron's hands trembled after his second son hugged him. Hearing Drayce's innocent laughter, he could not bring up the courage to push his son away. He patted his back and said, "You should not run like this…"
"I wanted to reach you, Father, before you go away," he replied with a toothy grin, still hugging his father.
"Hmm," was all King Theron said before he finally put Drayce down.
"Thank you for the berries, Father," he said, his bright twinkling eyes looking affectionately at his father. "I promise I will share this with Mother!"
