"Yes. My younger brother. He's studying at the Imperial Military Academy," Adrian explained.
Eden paused. He wanted to ask if Adrian had a younger brother, but then he thought for a while. He recalled the family portrait he saw the last time he was here.
"Ah, your younger brother. He's there?" Eden asked.
"Yes. So that should be good enough protection for you," Adrian smiled.
Eden nodded. "I guess. Thanks."
"Don't mention it. Just make sure you write to me if anything happens. And also be careful not to catch the attention of anyone, especially the emperor. Be in disguise if you may..."
"You don't have to lecture me. I know how to be careful," Eden said.
Adrian nodded. "Okay then. I won't worry too much," he sighed. "I'm done eating and want to go take my bath..." He looked up at Eden. "Do you want to come help me out?"
"...."
Helen stared at Lenny, and they stared at them again.
