[Childe is right about that part. If Aether becomes the king, then he could change the law and maybe even free them all from this fate, allowing everyone to marry whoever they wish. Maybe there would be some who opposed him, but with Childe by his side, he isn't concerned about that part at all.
Instead, he gives his knight a very critical look, noticing how smug he seems about all of this.]

...And just as if on cue, a muffled sequel rings behind their back. The prince quickly steps away, his eyes terrified when he faces Elise. The princess' face is bright red and she has hands over her mouth, but her eyes don't show any distaste or anger for what she has witnessed. In fact, there seem to be something akin to sparkles in her gaze.
Aether stares at her completed confused.]
Er... I-I can explain...? [He offers, but before he manages to collect himself the princess steps close to him grabbing his hand, then grabbing Childe's and linking their hands together.]
Ah, I was suspecting something...! [A shy smile spreads on her face and again, she seems to brim with almost childish excitement.] Two souls longing for one another, yet unable to give in to their feelings! Oh, forbidden love! How very tragic and how very beautiful!
[At this point Aether is completely unsure what is even happening here. He can only stare at his future bride as she seems very enthusiastic about the prince and knight's relationship.]
Please, don't worry! If there is anything I can do to help you, I will do my best! [Her eyes sparkle while face still burns bright.]
