Chapter 126

—

He heard a familiar voice.

It was Aushuvel Vaughn Heal.

“Aushuvel Hyung!”

Finally meeting someone he knew, Ferre jumped into his older cousin’s embrace, so happy to the point that it’s like he’s a lost man in the desert seeing an oasis.

Aushuvel was holding Rosé with his other arm. It seemed like they were looking for Ferre together.

“It’s alright now, so stand back.”

Aushuvel looked at the crowd surrounding Ferre.

They all stepped back the moment the reliable cousin, a royal prince, had arrived. He gently set down Rosé on the floor.

As soon as Rosé’s feet reached the floor—dadada! She immediately gave Ferre a big hug. It’s as if there’s no one else in the world except the brother and sister.

“Ferre, you stupidhead. Don’t cry.”

But the way she spoke to him was harsh.

“I’m not crying. I never ever cried when you were gone.”

Ferre shook his head and denied it.

“Why did you both come all the way here without Raphael? Are you looking for His Majesty?”

Going down on one knee to be on the same eye level as the twins, Aushuvel asked. Since he knew that they were usually stuck on Helios like gum, this was his guess.

“No! We’re looking for Sera, not Heli Oppa.”

“Yeah, yeah. But we don’t know where Sera is.”

Ferre replied with his eyelashes still wet with tears.

“Sera Popo?”

Rosé and Ferre nodded vigorously.

“Ha.”

Aushuvel chuckled.

At this point, he was suspecting that Miss Sera had taken a bigger part of the children’s minds than Helios.

He couldn’t believe that she had already stolen the twins’ hearts. He realized once again that Sera Popo was that great.

“Do you have something to say to Sera? Why are you looking for her like that?”

“It’s just…”

They’re thinking that they’d get in trouble if they said that they left Raphael’s side only because they wanted to hang out with Sera. Rosé and Ferre pursed their lips for a moment.

“Is it because you wanted to play with her, or…”

But when Aushuvel was the first to speak, Rosé and Ferre grinned.

Ba-bam! The twins rushed towards Aushuvel and grabbed one leg each, rubbing their cheeks on him.

“Shu Oppa.”

“Aushuvel Hyung.”

Of course, there was a reason behind this.

Aushuvel let out a sigh, though he was still smiling, then he offered one hand each towards the twins, who he couldn’t resist.

He was worried about Sera anyway because he was the one who invited her here.

“Then, shall we go together and find Sera?”

* * *

While walking hand in hand with the twins, Aushuvel caught everyone’s attention.

This was due to how his black hair stood out in the middle of the two children who had light-colored hair.

Besides that, seeing the three of them together for the first time like this made all the eyes that looked at them sparkle joyfully.

And now, coincidentally, the three of them encountered Helios and Saruvia.

“Rosé? Ferre?”

Wondering why his younger siblings and Aushuvel were together like this, Helios looked alternately between the three people.

His gaze was calm, but as soon as he confirmed that Sera was not with them, his eyes soon narrowed.

He didn’t want to think about it, but perhaps something happened again, just like last time. Helios felt a wave of concern wash through him.

He was about to ask why Miss Sera was the only one who wasn’t here, but Rosé and Ferre spoke up first.

“Heli Hyung.”

“Heli Oppa.”

From behind Aushuvel’s legs and with only their faces sticking out, the twins looked up at Helios. Their big, round eyes looked up at him.

And when they saw that Saruvia was next to Helios, the twins’ heads both tilted to the side, left and right.

“Your Royal Highness, Prince Aushuvel. I am Saruvia Cross from the Duchy of Cross. It’s been a while since we last met.”

Curtsying, Saruvia turned to him with the corners of her red lips tugged up.

“Yes. It’s been a while, Duke.”

Aushuvel likewise greeted her formally.

He didn’t know her very well outside of how she rose to the post of a duke at a young age, while also a mage from House Cross.

It seemed to him that Helios chose her as a partner for political reasons. At this realization, he smiled belatedly.

As soon as Aushuvel leaned back from the slight bow, one of Saruvia’s hands swept up and hung itself on Helios’ arm.

Aushuvel’s gaze lingered on that spot. Her slow gesture was obviously an act of showing off.

“Ah… Oppa?”

Rosé and Ferre saw the same thing transpire. Their mouths gaped open as they said, ah.

It was subtle, but they were aware that this was something that only couples did.

Helios, who had never even dated someone before, was arm in arm with a woman right now.

Rosé hesitated for a moment, but she stared into Helios’ violet eyes as though urging him for an explanation.

“Rosé, Ferre, this is…”

Helios trailed off, troubled as to how he should answer. But then Saruvia took a step closer to the kids.

The moment she reached out to them, the twins flinched in surprise.

Her eyes, which were as vividly red as a rabbits, were staring at them. Her gaze was eerie, and they didn’t know why, but it gave them chills.

Trembling as though they were birds caught in a trap, they hurriedly hid behind Aushuvel’s legs.

Observing this, Saruvia’s eyes briefly sharpened.

“Seeing as how Your Highnesses are here to seek out His Majesty, I must have held onto him for too long. I’ve heard about the lovely Twin Highnesses from the Star Palace being very loyal to His Majesty, so that must be true.”

“Y… Yeah.”

Rosé couldn’t understand why she was feeling scared, but she opened her round green eyes wide and murmured as though she was in trouble.

Saruvia chuckled with a low voice. The hands of the children clutching onto the hems of Aushuvel’s pants were strained.

These cute children often acted mischievous.

While wondering why the children reacted strangely just now, Helios carefully removed Saruvia’s arm from his. Then, he crouched down in front of the twins.

With his eye level matching with them now, he asked in a whisper.

“Rosé, Ferre, did something happen to the two of you?”

“No… Nothing happened… It’s just…”

“Just?”

“Um… Me and Ferre went to go see Sera because we wanna see her.”

“Really? Where’s Sera?”

The second question was directed to Aushuvel, with an added unsaid question of why Aushuvel even brought Sera here as a partner but she wasn’t by his side.

Aushuvel rubbed the back of his neck and hesitated to answer.

But at that moment, the tactless Ferre stepped out from behind Aushuvel. Ferre’s expression instantly brightened at just one mention of Sera.

“Hyung, we saw Sera somewhere over there in the corner. I guess she’s super popular. So many guys were surrounding her.”
