" Not really, no. " He said, still smiling.

"Then what is with the face."

" What? Now I can't even smile at you? "

"you can, it's just that you seem like the kind of guy that only smiles when he has something to gloat about."

" Now what would I gloat about? Tell me, honestly. "

"I don't know, which is why I asked."

" Well, I have a lot of things to gloat about. Because I'm sure we both know I'm not a simple 'Dock Boy'. Unless the future King of Aristlia can't figure that out. "

"Actually, I am the current king as the wedding served as a coronation as well as a union. If you intend to gloat about past relationships, I am uninterested, although the fish would be more than happy to hear your pointless blabbering."
He glanced at Xolia, refraining from mentioning her. He had wanted to comfort her supposed fear in some way, but figured it wasn't the best idea. For one, women were quiet unpredictable, so he'd rather not take. any chances. Secondly, He wasn't certain that they were 'there yet.'

He chuckled softly. " You come from an odd country. Honestly, you should be thankful I am who I am. If my parents hadn't rejected our union for the simple reason Xolia being a 'b*stard princess, I do not think either of us would be here. Including you. "

"Unfortunately for you, I disagree. Strongly. Considering my position as opposed to yours, and considering I have no intrest in hearing you call my wife a ba$tard, I suggest you think very carefully about what you say, even better just don't speak."
