Chapitre 108: Bragging Rights Between Kings

I left the laboratory with Lily in my lap again, and the servants followed us. I was still angry, but not at my father, or Alphonse. I had to get used to the fact that that man was not my real father.

No, the person my anger was directed at now was Akasha. She had known where my mother and siblings were this entire time and hadn't said a word about it. I am sure she would have a wordy excuse, but I was getting tired of being led around by the nose.

"Gideon? Are you still mad about King Alphonse?" the princess asked, looking up at me as we rolled on. "You seem very tense."

I leaned down and kissed her forehead, making her blush slightly, and then let out a sigh. "I am frustrated with how little control of my life I have, and how I feel like I am being led around in circles most of the time."

"Well, the war is over, right? We are going to be going back to your home, since you can find your mother and siblings now, right?" She asked, and I nodded.
