Carron turned his head away. Aichen could only sigh. Originally, the relationship between Naya and Carron was not as good as that of ordinary siblings. Carron only took care of Naya for Aichen's sake. Later, Naya frequently targeted Xia Lin, which made Carron more and more annoyed with her. He had just been enduring it. Then that incident happened to Naya, which made Carron even more disgusted with her.
Forget it. It's not Carron's fault. Let nature take its course. He just hoped that the relationship between Carron and Naya wouldn't continue to deteriorate.
To ease the atmosphere, Aichen grabbed Xia Lin's hand and praised him. "I heard that you're very brave, Xiaolin. You went to the battlefield with Carron and made a lot of efforts to end the war. Xiaolin, you're an excellent queen."
Xia Lin smiled shyly and self - deprecatingly. "No, although I went with Carron, I never went to the real front line. And if it weren't for Carron, the war wouldn't have ended at all. I feel like I didn't do much." It was really embarrassing to be praised like that!
Nolen rarely stroked Xia Lin's head. It was the first time he had made such an intimate gesture towards Xia Lin. Xia Lin shrank his head uneasily but didn't reject Nolen's kindness.
Carron, however, glared at Nolen unhappily. This jealous king would mind even if Aichen showed intimacy with Xia Lin, not to mention Nolen, who was the same type as him (both were the dominant ones in a relationship).
But Nolen wasn't afraid of him at all. He simply ignored Carron and said to Xia Lin in a very gentle tone, "You should be more confident. You've done more than you think, so there's no need to always feel that you're not good enough."
Xia Lin blushed. Suddenly, he thought Nolen was so handsome. No wonder he was Carron's father. "I understand, Father Nolen. I will be more confident!"
After leaving Aichen's house, Xia Lin and Carron returned to the palace. A servant came to report, "Your Majesty, Young Master Lan is here to see you. He's waiting for you in the living room."
Xia Lin checked his optical brain and found a message from Lan. He just hadn't received it because his optical brain had been on silent mode at Aichen's house.
"Okay, I see."
After the maid left, Xia Lin noticed that Carron was staring at him with an unhappy look in his eyes.
Xia Lin looked around and saw no one else. He quickly kissed Carron. "Why are you so unhappy just because he's here?"
Carron snorted. "It would be strange if I were happy. Why does that brat always come to play with you?"
"It's not always. He comes twice a week. And he's my first friend, so of course he'll come to play with me. Don't you think Lan is really interesting and fun?"
Carron shook his head. "Not at all. I just think that brat is really annoying!"
Xia Lin shook his head helplessly. "Forget it. You're jealous again. Don't worry. Lan and I are just ordinary friends."
Dragging Carron's arm, Xia Lin saw Lan watching TV boredly in the living room.
Seeing Xia Lin coming, Lan happily jumped off the sofa. "Xia Lin, you're finally here. Let's go out and play together. I've found a great place!"
Carron folded his arms and said coldly, "Xiaolin can't go out and play with you today. He has something to do. So you'd better go back!"
