Charles Robertson Part II

“Charles Robertson. It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time. I have been looking forward to seeing you, Mr. Joker.”

“Likewise, sir.” Joke hurriedly took the man’s hand. He could feel that the great summoner’s aura was suddenly so bright right now.

“And what are you two doing in the middle of the night?” the old man asked. “The most important thing is the fact that you are together. Pardon my intrusion, but are you two…uh…”

He gestured with a faint smile, to which Lia responded in kind while putting her arm around Joke’s. The answer was obvious now, and the person who was suddenly laid claim to stood there, blinking blankly, as Charles laughed.

“So that’s how it is. Wonderful news, truly…Congratulations to both of you.”

Hearing that, Lia narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Did captain not tell you about any of this?” she asked.

“Oh…No, not at all. He is a man of few words. It would be unusual to hear such a thing from him.”
