Martin looked into Alexander's eyes. He did not know what to say at the moment.
Alexander's eyes sparkled with clarity as if a paradise dwelled within them. He was resolute in his belief that his judgment was correct. Martin was certain that choosing Alexander to rule the country was the wisest decision.
However, he sighed helplessly. "To be honest, Alexander, I don't care about that."
Alexander's eyes lit up.
"I'm old but not stubborn." Martin looked at him. "There are many kinds of human love. Is the one that caters to the world the only normal one?"
"Uncle…"
"You've never hurt anyone. Even though you like Zephyr, you didn't ruin his family. As long as one is kind and pure, is their sexual orientation important? I believe that you're a good kid, as well as a good future king. However, that's what I think. It doesn't mean that the citizens think the same. You get it?"
Alexander's smile was adorned with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Alexander bowed respectfully, placing his right hand on his chest as he half-knelt before Martin. He expressed his deep appreciation to the king with utmost formality, acknowledging his guidance and understanding. He vowed to repay Martin's kindness in the most heartfelt manner.
Alexander had always been suffering because he could not make his father happy when he was younger.
However, ever since Martin took him under his wing, only then did he understand that not everyone was fit to be parents. Some people's love could really surpass their parents'.
"Get up, Alexander!"
Alexander lifted his eyes to look at Martin and said in all seriousness, "Uncle, thank you."
Martin choked and held his hands.
Martin did not blame Alexander. Ever since the news broke out, all he had been thinking about was how to protect him.
