Francesca chuckled softly when Javier's voice echoed faintly from behind the closed doors.
"As usual~ My Honey Bun is teasing Liana. Ever since he was a boy, he's never stopped messing with her~"
"Mm… He's far stronger than her and yet always loses to her." Marcellus joined in.
"No~ Your little brother loves her too much. All his future wives, really. He wouldn't lift a finger to hurt them. Besides, have you ever actually seen him wounded by them?" Francesca laughed gently.
Garius exhaled and shook his head. "Let's just leave him like that. He always wants to attract Liana's attention. I don't think he could live without her or Gloria now."
"Mm… yes~ That's my Honey Bun~ And after that dance… I doubt they could ever truly part."
Garius glanced toward his other sons.
"Marcellus, Cedric, Heres."
"Yes, Esteemed Father?" Marcellus and Cedric avoided direct eye contact, while Heres kept his gaze respectfully lowered.
