Nicolae's Secret Wish

To stop Alaric from pressing him to pursue Marie, Nicolae finally decided to tell him about their father.

"If you have that much free time to interfere in my love life, why don't you go after Father? He looks mysterious lately," Nicolae said. "Do you know what I am thinking? Our father has finally got a girlfriend! There, you have it!"

Alaric looked pensive at his brother's words. Nicolae was dumbfounded because his brother wasn't at all surprised.

"Hmm ..." Alaric just nodded. "I know. And that's okay, right? Our father has been alone for more than a hundred years. Isn't it about time for him to find his happiness?"

"You knew?!?" Nicolae's pair of big blue eyes went round in shock. He touched Alaric's shoulders and shook them with great curiosity. "Who is that woman? Where did they meet?"
