"That's a good answer," Riley said softly.
Rowan smiled faintly. "It was Finnian's idea. He had been lecturing us since we first met him. He said that if we didn't learn anything after all this, then we deserved more than the punishment we received."
The little prince turned red as Riley glanced at him, but Riley only smiled.
Sure enough, that was the right call. Thought the younger elven royals.
Third Prince Darin, for one, exhaled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Maybe a few years of seclusion will straighten us out," he muttered. He offered his hand to Riley for a shake, but Kael's eyes narrowed. One look from the dragon was enough to make Darin slowly pull his hand back.
The would-be ex-diplomat could only wonder how the dragon, who hadn't even really listened to their words, suddenly managed to see his outstretched hand.
Oh well, no wonder Rowan didn't dare try to make any moves despite his obvious interest in Riley.
