Skalven and Bono were outside, sitting in the living room with Caris, Carist, Troy, Roy and Ian.
"She kissed you. It means she still wants you." Troy says to Skalven, who has been smiling broadly since Astri kissed him. "What about you, Bono? What are you going to do now?"
"I'll ask to become her guardian. After what happened, I don't want to be away from here ever." Bono says.
"I won't ask anything. I'll just move to her castle." Carist says with a snort.
They chuckle. Caris, Carist, and Bono became like brothers after spending so much time together.
"We don't see her in a romantic way like you do, though." Caris says to Bono.
"I loved her without being her spouse and I'll keep loving her either way. I just want to make sure she will be protected." Bono answers.
"I really admire you for that. I thought I would never have a chance at all, so I moved on." Troy says.
"Me too." Roy nods.
"But do you think she has feelings for you?" Troy asks Bono.
