"I am glad to see you look healthier," Emma commented. She rubbed Alderaan's hair and smiled sweetly at him. "Are you happy here?"
Alderaan nodded. He was very happy. He still didn't know the man who had been taking care of him was actually the king of this kingdom. Therius didn't care for formalities when it came to him.
He wanted Alderaan to think of him like he was just a nice man who treated him like family, not the king that everyone revered. It had worked well so far. Alderaan became more and more attached to him and he found how much they had things in common.
"Let's get you to our place and rest," said Therius. "I took the day off from work today so I can spend time with you."
Emma was very happy to hear that. She touched her husband's cheek and planted a kiss there.
"Thank you. There's a reason I love you," she said cheekily.
