THE two looked at each other. Reas' expression was like saying, 'who gets along with who?'. While Wulfric's expression was like, 'stop being childish and just admit it'.
Seeing the war of nerves of the two, Astrid didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. In the end, he just decided to think of this as an amusing phenomenon he could laugh about. That's better than being stressed about how things ended up in this manner.
Besides, he was truly glad that this was the end result. It was rather peaceful compared to what he had imagined. Especially since Wulfric actually went ahead and told Reas about his confession. Things could have definitely been worse. This was already the best possible outcome there could be.
"Regardless, I'm happy that it did not come into a bloodbath," Astrid said honestly.
"How could I let it come to that?" Wulfric said. "Since he's Aster's precious younger brother, there's no way I would beat him up to that point. Unless he deserves it, of course."
