[The atmosphere feels tense as the king continues to be silent for another moment. Then, he finally closes his eyes and speaks up.]
I shall keep an eye on him. If he proves himself in his new duties, then I shall have the knighting ceremony prepared.
[He then glances at Childe, before addressing the princess.]
Princess Elise, if you ever feel that this squire is not fulfilling his duties or that there is something else you are not happy with, then please, do not hesitate to inform me. I wish nothing more but for you to feel welcomed and comfortable here.
[Aether is pretty sure this confirms that the king knows something is up, but he leaves Elise to decide if she wants to continue on like this or not. The princess nods quickly and the king doesn't say anything more. Once again, he gives a look to Childe, then to Aether, as if in warning, before turning to Elise's father.]
Let us go. We still haven't hunted anything today.
[Aether feels a small dose of relief. If his father will allow this madness to exists as long as Elise is happy, then it should be fine. They all want the princess to be happy, after all.]
