447 (ROYAL) FAMILY FEUD

[WHY IS Father here?]

Nero stopped in his tracks when he felt his father's presence.

Then he turned to his mother.

The two of them were on their way to the Frozen Woods to follow Queen Brigitte and King Glenn after they heard from the Fletcher Twins that the royal couple followed Neoma.

He and his mother were near the Frozen Woods when he felt her father's presence.

"N-Nero, go ahead," her mother said, already backing away. "Please look after Neoma for me."

And her mother was gone before he could even respond.

"Wyatt, Warren," Nero called the Fletcher Twins, who immediately appeared before him. "Did you know Father would come here?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness," Wyatt said. "We apologize for not telling you. His Majesty ordered us to keep it from you and Lady Roseheart."

Ah.

His father probably didn't want to scare his mother with his unexpected arrival.

[But Mother still ran away.]
