Zuko widened his big eyes, adorably lost.
“Daddy will bathe with you today. We’ll skip the basin. We’re showering standing up!”
“Huh?” Cordelia was surprised. “No way, this—”
Before she could stop them, Zephyr took their son into the bathroom with a long stride and locked the door.
Cordelia could only be anxious outside.
A while later, the sound of water running could be heard from the inside. In the beginning, Zuko did not seem to be
used to it and whined and cried a little. Zephyr coaxed him with the unique ways of a stern father.
“Kid, are you a man? You’re scared of this little splashing?
“It’s just washing your head. What are you crying about!?

Cordelia’s heart clenched with anger, and she wished she could rush in and beat a certain someone up!
Soon enough, Zuko stopped crying, and she could hear giggles from inside the bathroom. Suddenly…
“Argh!” Zephyr shouted, startling Cordelia.
Unable to hold herself back any longer, she pounded on the door.
“Darling, what’s wrong? Did our son fall?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the bathroom door rattled open, and Zephyr, wrapped in a bath towel, stormed
out with a dark expression.
“Honey?” Cordelia widened her eyes, seeing that something was not right with his expression. “What’s going on?”
“It’s nothing. This little fella, while I was washing his hair… he pulled me!”
“Huh?” Cordelia was getting more confused. “Where did he pull you?”
Zephyr pursed his lips, clenching the bath towel tightly around his waist with one hand. Where else could he have
pulled him? Of course, it was…
Just then, lZuko ran out, all happy and excited, with bubbles still in his hair. “Papa! Papa! I still want to play!”
Zephyr turned around and glared at him before quickly walking away.
Cordelia finally realized what had happened and could not help but burst out laughing. She picked up their son and
went into the bathroom. Why did they have to shower together when he could have just given the boy a bath? See,
their son got his sore spot now!
She then started to worry a little. Her son had such a strong grip, so what if he accidentally hurt his father?
The palace was still brightly lit late at night.

Carmella did not like this scent but had kept the habit for decades because Martin liked it.
Joy covered the incense burner, and the fragrance drifted throughout the entire palace. Carmella took a deep
breath and rubbed her slightly throbbing temple.
Joy stepped forward and said softly, “Your Majesty, it’s time to rest.”
Carmella turned around and looked at her. “Was everything smooth during your trip to Melorian?”
Joy’s gaze flickered, and she nodded. “It was smooth. With the information provided by Your Majesty, we quickly
found those two people. They’re indeed Aurelia’s adoptive parents.”
“Did you tell them what they need to do?”
“Yes.”
“Mm.” Carmella’s gaze was cryptic. “I trust you to handle things properly.”
“Your Majesty…” Joy hesitated for a moment, biting her lip before she finally spoke up. “I’ve worked for you for so
many years and never made a mistake. Your Majesty… can you also help me?”
