"......"

Glenn didn't respond to Rimmer's sharp remark. He was simply looking at him silently.

"It looks like you really cherish Raon. You didn't even do that when you were raising the young masters..."

"You are being too noisy."

"How about being a bit more honest now? I'm sure Raon would like it if you tried saying 'Good job, grandson. Come here so I can hug you, peekaboo'..."

"Rimmer."

Glenn's pressure grew fiercer. Not just the audience chamber, but the entirety of the lord's manor started trembling.

"Huff!"

Pretending to not laugh, Rimmer moved far away.

"Hehe."

When Glenn's pressure was about to explode, Roenn interfered with a gentle smile.

"It's pretty nice."

"What is nice?"

"It's been thirty years since I last saw you two playing around together. I haven't seen that reaction from my lord for a really long time, either..."

Roenn's wrinkled eyes were recalling the old memories.

"Hmm..."

"Oh, I knew it. Sir Roenn knows what's up."

Glenn eased his pressure and Rimmer smiled once again.

"Ah, and there was one thing Raon didn't mention."

"Are you talking about the South-North Union?"

"Yes. Their young leader heard Raon's name and left."

"Why didn't you stop him?"

"He withdrew, facing Raon's spirit. It wasn't our territory, and since he acknowledged Raon, I didn't really want to catch him."

"Hmph."

Glenn snorted, but he didn't look displeased.

"And lastly, I'd like you to be a bit more honest with your grandson. It's not that hard."

"I'm always honest with everyone."

"No way. If you were honest, you would've been like this."

Rimmer cleared his throat, folding his hands behind his back like an actor.

"Raon. I'm so proud that you've accomplished your mission so well. My grandson, give your grandpa a kiss. This much is enough to make Raon happy, yourself happy and even me happy as I watch you! Everyone would be happy!"

"Haa..."

Glenn sighed heavily and stood up from the chair. An energy wave threatening enough to destroy the world filled the audience chamber.

"I-I'll be leaving then. I gotta drink, I mean, an important appointment."

Rimmer walked backward while rubbing the back of his head and left the audience chamber.

"Tsk, he's getting smugger every time."

Glenn clicked his tongue and lowered his hand.

"I still liked it. It reminded me of when you were commanding the continent together."

Roenn smiled lightly, moving to the side.

"Hmph."

Without saying anything, Glenn crossed his arms and leaned his back.

"Since all this seems to be thanks to the young master Raon, I took a liking to him."

"It's fine to like him on the inside, but you should treat everyone equally, whether they are successors or other children."
