Neil turned back and saw Helene, who was glaring daggers at him with her hands on her hips.
Neil was annoyed that he was hit for no reason and wanted to vent it on someone, but he had goosebumps once he saw Helene’s temperament…
“Let go of her!” Helene shouted stubbornly, “Let! Go!”
Neil was frustrated. He would have lashed out if it was a usual day, but it was strange today.
Helene, who was pale and fragile, seemed to tower over him somehow. He could only stare at her without being able to get a word out.
After a long time, Neil could only say, “W-What are you doing?”
Helene harrumphed loudly and shoved him away to put herself in front of Aurelia.
Her frail body formed a stark contrast against the tall and muscular Neil.
It was just that she did not seem afraid at all facing this big man.
Neil could not help thinking of a story. A hunter was hunting in the forest. His hound had found a baby bird that had fallen to the ground from its nest and was going to sniff it out when the mama bird flew over, fluttering its wings and chirping loudly to protect its chick.
The hound was tens of times bigger than the mama bird, but it was stunned by the bird’s presence and stood frozen.
Helene, who had her arms spread wide, was really like that mama bird…
Neil furrowed his brows and had an odd feeling out of the blue.
Aurelia grinned and put both hands on Helene’s shoulders to ask her to put her arms down.
“Princess Lene, what’s wrong?” she asked softly. “Oh, you haven’t met him? Do you remember the uncle that I always mention?”
Helene pursed her lips and blinked but shook her head in a daze.
“I’ll introduce the two of you to each other formally then!” Aurelia hooked arms with Helene. “Uncle, you have to bow to Princess Lene!”
Neil was reluctant, but she was an actual royal and Alexander’s aunt, so he bowed according to the royal family protocol.
“Princess Lene’s baby is that pillow.” Aurelia smiled. “But sometimes, she calls me baby too!”
Neil was helpless and disgruntled.
“Bad guy, you bully my baby!” Helene went up to punch him.
Neil could only let her hit her. Aurelia had spoken, after all.
Helene ran off after two punches. Before Neil could react to it, she ran back out with a few mini garments.
“Bad guy, don’t leave!” Helene sounded righteous as she stood tall and proud in front of him.
Aurelia was surprised. “Your Highness, you…”
Helene told her very seriously, “Bad guy bullies baby. Needs to be punished!”
Neil felt a headache coming. He really did not want to stay there and play games with a crazy woman.
