"Brother, what's wrong? Your mind seems to wander off somewhere. Are you alright?" Erika asked Gideon, who was staring at the garden absentmindedly.
Her voice pulled him back to the present. "Oh, Sis. You are here. I didn't sense your presence earlier."
Erika giggled. "It's because you were lost in your thoughts."
She sat down on the balcony's bench, next to her brother. "Tell me. What's troubling your mind?"
Gideon took a deep sigh before covering his face as if he was trying to conceal his embarrassment.
"What should I do, Baby Sis? I can't believe it… I said something I shouldn't have." He smacked his forehead.
Erika watched him with intrigue. "What do you mean, Bro? What did you say, and to whom did you say those words?"
Gideon facepalmed himself before responding, "I told our father and King Zaraki that I love Princess Eve!"
Erika's eyes widened in shock as she gasped upon hearing Gideon's last remarks.
"Oh?! You love her," she repeated, blinking with amusement.
