Hearing Tyler's words, Ophelia beamed with joy. She excitedly wrapped her arms around his neck and showered him with kisses.
"Tyler, you're amazing! I like you so much."
At that moment, Zerev walked in carrying roasted meat. Upon hearing Ophelia's words, his bamboo-slender fingers dug tightly into the Stone Bowl.
Seeing Zerev enter, Tyler gently helped Ophelia up and asked softly, "Princess, would you like to go outside and take a look right now?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ophelia shouted excitedly.
As the two prepared to head out together, Zerev slammed the Stone Bowl heavily onto the ground.
He looked at the three little dragon cubs wagging their tails and said coldly, "Eat by yourselves."
Then, he turned to Ophelia. "I'll go with you."
Only then did Ophelia realize her fingers were tightly intertwined with Tyler's. She awkwardly pulled her hand away.
"Alright, let's go together."
