Chapter 122 – Raising a Toast (2)

Next, General Aquila and Crown Princess Pica stood up together, with big smiles on their faces.

General Aquila raised his glass. "My little Raven…he's grown up so much and even has such a brilliant fiancée now," he said. "This gap of ten years in my memory is quite annoying – I remember Raven as a little baby that could barely stand, but was rather sweet and obedient – he's always been beautiful, even as a baby – always smiled at me and waved his tiny arms whenever he saw me, and he'd giggle so happily when I picked him up and swung him around, and ate happily when I fed him, too, and never peed here and there – totally unlike Rook, who was determined to aim at my nose whenever I was changing his diapers. Raven never did that, and I used to wish that Rook would be as well behaved as his Big Brother Raven when he grew up…" He paused for a moment.

Laughter broke out amidst the crowd at General Aquila's words, and both Raven and Rook flushed, embarrassed.
