Alexander invited the Hamerton couple and their child to be his guests at the palace. He also got the best photographer in Southeast Aciatic to take a family photo for them.

Zuko was not quite good at walking and sometimes needed a baby walker, but he liked the royal garden. He flailed his chubby arms on the lawn, gurgling in excitement to greet the butterflies and birds.

Zephyr picked him up for a ride on his shoulders, and the baby shrieked out of the fun he had.

Cordelia’s heart lurched watching them, and she wanted to stop Zephyr several times but was held back by Alexander.

“Don’t worry. Mr. Hamerton must know what he’s doing and won’t hurt your son!” He smiled.

Cordelia took a pause before she smiled. Despite what Alexander said, he had asked the palace guards and maid to follow the father and son. Even if Zephyr missed, they could absolutely be able to catch the baby.

Cordelia was grateful as she chortled. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

“I just like to see him smile.” Alexander’s voice was soft. “They’re having so much fun together!”

“Alexander…” Cordelia wanted to ask, “Do you like Zephyr a lot?”, but she did not manage to get it out of her mouth after some hesitation.

What was there to ask? Alexander had already decided to let this be a secret, so she ought to respect his wish.

Alexander turned to ask, “What’s the matter?”

Cordelia smiled. “Nothing, I just think… you’re a good person. If you were to become king one day, the people of Southeast Aciatic would be happy.”

“Hah, I’d like to be king.” Alexander smirked in self-depreciation. “But if the people know what kind of person I am, they might chase me out of the country!”

“Will they chase away someone who’s genuinely kind to them?” Cordelia looked at him. “Alexander, people aren’t as pedantic and childish as you think. They know what’s right and wrong, good and bad. They know who’s good to them!

“And I think a person’s character matters the most! Everything else can be tolerated as long as one’s virtuous and righteous.”
