Zephyr had a momentary look of surprise on his face.
Alexander smiled calmly and softly said, “Actually… you should’ve already known, right? Mrs. Hamerton’s so smart
she must have told you about it.
“Zephyr.” Alexander looked at him seriously. “What I said today stops here. I won’t bring it up again in the future.
“When I ascend the throne and we meet again, I’ll be the king, and you’ll be my subject. Everything between us…
will follow the rules!”
Alexander smiled and wanted to shake hands with Zephyr, but the latter hesitated and did not shake it. Alexander’s
hand remained hovering in the air, which was slightly awkward, but it was within his expectations.
“It’s okay.” He put his hand down. “I’ve said everything I wanted to say. There are no regrets now. I’m really happy
to see that you’re living so well. Treasure your wife. She’s a very good woman.”
“I know,” Zephyr replied without much emotion.
“As for your son, his status in Southeast Aciatic will also be noble in the future.”
“Your Highness…”
“I’ll protect them.” Alexander’s voice was feathery soft. “I’ll do my best to protect your wife and child.”

Alexander was an unexpected person in his life. He never thought that his simple act of helping back then would be
remembered by him for so long.
“Your Highness, thank you for your kindness,” Zephyr said seriously. “In the future, my son will spend more time in
Centrolis.”
“You really don’t have to reject me like this.” Alexander smiled lightly.
“It’s not rejection, but…” Zephyr looked into his eyes. “Since we’re talking about it, I’ll tell you my thoughts. When I
helped you back then, it was just a small matter. And I really dislike people who use their power to bully others.
That’s why I helped.”
“I understand, I understand!” Alexander interrupted. “It’s just… I couldn’t control my feelings.
” Zephyr, I’ve been different from others since I was a child.” He lowered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.
“Maybe I’m not really a man—”
“That’s not true.”
Alexander was taken aback, looking up abruptly and meeting Zephyr’s deep gaze.
“During my time in Southeast Aciatic, I heard a lot about you.” Zephyr looked at him. “You’ve done a lot of good
things for the country and the people and are very loved by the people of Southeast Aciatic. You live up to the title
of the prince, and you’ll be a good king in the future too.”
“You…” Alexander was pleasantly surprised.
This long praise actually came from Zephyr.
Zephyr smirked and reached out his hand. There was a pause before he patted Alexander on the shoulder.
“Even if your orientation is different from the norm, it doesn’t stop you from being a real man and a really good
person!”
“Zephyr…”
“Your Highness.” Zephyr spoke sincerely. “The future of Southeast Aciatic will definitely become better and prosper
under you!”
Alexander’s nose stung, and a complicated feeling surged in his heart. He wanted to say something, but his throat
felt stuck, and he could not say a word.
He knew that the future would be long and difficult and that there might be obstacles along the way. However, with
Zephyr’s words, he no longer feared anything.
“Thank you.” He finally squeezed out these words after hesitating for a long time.

walking into the yard.
Zephyr came out to see him off, and the two of them stood in the courtyard, smiling at each other.
The night was beautiful, with a crescent moon hanging in the deep blue sky. The fireflies in the rainforest and the
stars in the sky shone harmoniously.
Alexander turned his head slightly, his reluctant gaze lingering on Zephyr’s sharp profile.
“Here will do,” he said softly. “Your wife and son are waiting for you at home.”
Zephyr clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully. “Your Highness, take care.”
“Uh… Zephyr.” After hesitating for a while, Alexander gathered his courage and asked, “Before I go, can you fulfill
one more wish of mine?”
“Hmm?”
“Can… Can I hug you?”
Alexander’s voice was very soft. He quickly lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong after he
spoke.
Zephyr was stunned for a moment. He smiled and took the initiative to step forward and give him a hug, patting
him on the shoulder. They then separated swiftly.
