Acantha looked at Helion, who, instead of being disappointed or angry, looked rather satisfied and happy about her father's punishment for them.
"I think you should go back home..." Acantha said as she sighed while still looking at his face.
"No... We like it here," Helion said as he looked at her.
"Helion... I know why you are here...It's because of me again, am I right?" Acantha asked as she sighed.
She knows that he and his mother probably got into an argument again because of her, and she didn't like that.
Yes, she wanted him to stand for her, but not this way.
Helion was a crown prince and an only heir like her.
And as a crown prince, he has some duty not just to his mother and son, but also as a crown prince to everyone.
She needs him to understand that this is not just about them, but also it's about the whole empire.
Not in this situation where people need to get protected against Abanoon, who was just maybe waiting to find some solutions to her problem.
