Rayjin stepped out of the carriage as Drayce helped her and looked at the other carriage where one familiar person was already present while talking to her mother and the servant's accompanied them.
"Father!" Saying loudly with a voice full of happiness and excitement, the little lady ran towards them.
The man picked her up in his arms and smiled at her, "Where has my princess gone?"
"I went out with my uncles," she replied and looked at others who stepped out of the carriage.
Duke Rhys Wimark, Ryajin's father and Alvera's husband, looked at everyone who walked towards them. Duke Wimark was a tall and handsome-looking man but older in age than the other three walking towards him.
The brown-haired man wore a knee-length outer deep brown robe that had gold accessories fixed on it at the shoulder and handcuffs and its buttons left open to show the white shirt and deep brown waistcoat with same color pants. His feet had well-polished boots and every inch of his clothing showed the royalty. His brown eyes emitted the warmth that he had after seeing his adorable daughter and well carved fair-skinned face looked even brighter with the pleasant smile he had.
He put Ryajin down and greeted everyone and bowed to Drayce and Seren. He was aware of the wedding between the King of Megaris and the rumored third Princess of Abetha so he knew who was the lady who accompanied Drayce.
"Greetings, Your Majesty King and the Queen of Megaris."
Drayce accepted the greetings with a light nod, "Good see you here, Duke Wimark."
Seren just stood quietly. When Rayjin called this man a father, she understood who he was.
Drayce introduced him to Seren, "He is Duke Rhys Wimark. Rayjin's father."
Seren greeted him with a slight nod and the man did the same. They all went inside to the drawing-room where they all could talk while sitting comfortably in the chairs.
The drinks were given to everyone as they were tired due to the journey.
Just as they were about to start the talk, Ryajin who sat in her father's lap, said out loud, "Father, uncle Lenard told me you are a breeding bull."
Cough! Cough!
Lenard coughed out the water while Duke Wimark almost choked with it, looking at his daughter in disbelief.
"Rayjin!" Alvera exclaimed, "Come here."
Feeling scared with her mother's glare, Rayjin immediately stepped down from his father's lap.
Duke Wimark looked at his wife and said, "It's fine," and held his daughter closer who was scared with how her mother suddenly exclaimed at her.
Arlan smiled lightly, Drayce had the neutral expression while the young Queen had no idea what it was about but thought, 'It is surely a weird comparison. Why call a human a cow and bull? I would never like it if they called me a cow. They can call him whatever they want, bull or anything but I won't be a cow.'
"Apologies, Duke Wimark. I didn't mean to…" Lenard felt a loss for words.
Duke Wimark was used to such incidents between them when these brothers and their only sister teased each other. He also knew his daughter who would take a word to its exact meaning as she was innocent to understand everything.
He first looked at his daughter and said, "Father has brought a gift for you."

The eyes of the sad girl brightened up, "Really? Where is it?"
"I will give you for sure but before that, you have to assure me something."
"I will."
"You have to give me a word that you will never mention breeding bull words ever again."
"I give my words to father. I will never mention it," she said confidently.
"Do you remember what I always say?" Duke Wimark asked.
Rayjin nodded, "We Wimark always keep our word, If we go back on them, our ancestors will punish us."
"So you have to keep our word now."
"I will, father. Now where is my gift?" she asked excitedly.
"It's already sent to your room, Rayjin," Alvera said and signaled her servant, "Take Rayjin to her room."
"Thank you, father." Saying bye to others, she went with the servant.
Duke Wimark looked at the silent and apologetic-looking Prince Lenard and smiled at him, "Second Prince Lenard, I appreciate that you acknowledge my abilities to the extent of calling me a breeding bull, but it's not good to call your delicate and pretty sister a cow."
Lenard felt relieved that Duke was not offended by his words and smiled back.
Arlan sighed and commented, "Too much love here, huh? My sister felt bad to address her husband as a bull and the husband feels bad for a wife."
"Are you jealous, my dear brother," Alvera asked before she smiled at her husband.
"Single man like me can only feel jealous."
"Don't worry. We will soon find your betrothed Princess," Alvera assured.
"There is nothing to worry about. If we could not find her, I will just marry the one I like. Also, it will allow me to be a happy single soul for long," Arlan replied.
Alvera looked at her husband and then Drayce, "They were rumored to be around the border of Griven and Megaris. Is there no news?"
"Not yer," Duke Wimark replied and informed. "I and Marquis Kayden Hart from Megaris border territory are working on it.
"Last time he informed me about the positive result. We hope to find them soon," Drayce informed.
Arlan looked at Drayce, "You can ask Marquise Hart to slow it down. I am not in a hurry at all. Her grandpa did the best thing by hiding her years back and I don't want any of you to waste his efforts. Let that old man enjoy his successful efforts."
"Though you are not in a hurry, this kingdom is in a hurry to get its new King and Queen. Once we find them, your coronation will happen soon," Alvera countered.
Arlan could only sigh as if he didn't want it so soon, "I would like to wander around for long before that Coronation. Once we find them, I will reward that old man for sure. The longer I have to wait, the bigger reward he will get."
Seren couldn't understand the entire thing they were talking about. She only understood- Prince Arlan had a betrothed wife but she was not here and someone hid her and the person seems to be her grandpa.
Drayce looked at Seren who seemed to be tired and said, "My Queen, you must be tired. You can return to our chamber and rest," Drayce instructed.
