Huh? What do you mean, he’s not Jowy?

Alisa was poking at the golden cloths. Kids these days. I was kind of like that too at that age. So it just annoyed me.

Lianne and Jowy came inside the room after a solid knock.

"It's good to see you guys again," Jowy said.

I contained my hostility. "I didn't know you were a prince."

"I thought you knew. Assuming you knew Lianne." He acted innocent, as usual. 

"Unfortunately I didn't, your highness," I said. My voice was filled with sarcasm. I grinded my teeth and glared at him.

"Please don't call me that Daarc. I may be a prince, but forever will be your friend." My expression softened and he took a seat.

We were already seated and I never felt the urge to get up and greet them. Maybe it was being rude, but I didn't really care. 

The old man walked closer to the duo and sat down. 

I looked away. "So, what brings you two here?"
