Episode 304
(Tainted Eyes)
"So, Your Majest—"
"Wait!"
Theobald's voice boomed through the room, cutting like a whip, commanding silence.
"Haa~… Just give me a moment,"
he muttered, his tone sinking into something weary, almost pitiful.
With slow, heavy steps, he trudged over to his desk and collapsed into the chair like gravity had grown stronger just for him.
"Haa~~~"
A long, drawn-out sigh spilled from him, the sound of a man clinging to dignity by a thread. Only then did he finally lift his gaze to meet his son's.
"So…"
His voice, low and resigned,
"What is it that you want to say?"
"Regarding the marriage arrangement, I agree to—"
"That's not possible! (>⌓<)"
Theobald cut in sharply—but then froze.
"Wait… (・_・;)"
His voice faltered as Leonus's words actually registered.
His expression froze in disbelief.
"What… did you just say? (・–・)"
