Aldrey and Irene were stunned. They did not expect the sudden bow from Ao Tianhai, but Irene quickly spoke to him.
"Please rise. Just act more casual. You do not have to be overly formal in front of us, as you will be staying with us from now on. Moreover, you are my son's subordinate. He is your boss, not us."
Ao Tianhai slightly raised his head.
"How could I do that, Madam? His Majesty's family is also important to me. I will give respect worthy of the family of the great emperor," he said with a firm expression.
Aldrian then took a step forward.
"Just let him be, Mother. He is the type who is serious about his work and has his own rules. He might be rigid about it, but please do not mind it. He is glad to do this, as he considers it his pride."
"His Majesty is correct, Madam. This is my pride, to serve His Majesty and everything related to him. Please do not feel too bad," Ao Tianhai said, supporting Aldrian.
Irene sighed. "Alright, if you say so."
