"I…" he opened his mouth with some hesitation.
Zerra was looking at him expectantly, while Nias' gaze gave him a sense of pressure, as if she wanted to chop him into pieces.
"What do you think?" Zerra asked again encouragingly.
In the end, Cassias finally decided.
He nodded slowly, looking away from Nias' irritated eyes. "Yes, I will go with you… I hope that your mother won't mind."
Stinky cub. Nias cursed inwardly, and when she turned around, she was met with her little cub's sparkling eyes.
Even before she could answer Cassias' brave words, who had disobeyed her, Zerra took it on her behalf to answer him. "Of course, Mother wouldn't mind as long as you agree. Didn't you hear it already?"
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Cassias turned to Nias and thanked her.
Nias really didn't like his smile. She narrowed her eyes. Did this cub have done that deliberately? Turning the tables on her? She really couldn't tell whether he was as aloof and innocent as he looked.
