Capítulo 217: FAMILY FIRST

[Music Recommendation: Rescue ~ Lauren Diagle]

"Adric...in all you do, always put your family first."

A young Adric raised his face, his reddish-brown eyes staring at his mother curiously, and asked,

"You mean you and Father?"

The young Queen shook her head. "Mhm...not just us." Her words sounded more like a question. "When you have your own family someday, your wife and your children...put them first before anything or anyone else." The woman smiled, touching her son's silky crimson hair.

"What about Nicholas? He is not my family but my friend," Adric said, as his shoe slipped off his foot. A boy the same age as him quickly rushed to help the Prince fit his foot back into the shoe.

Adric paused in his steps, looking at the boy his age. When he smiled at the boy, the young boy looked away with a small frown on his face before returning to his position.
