Chapter 47: Empty Awakening

“Have you rested?” Royce asked as soon as Dio opened his eyes. It was already morning of the next day after they arrived in the capital.

“Yes, Uncle.”

Royce messed Dio’s hair. “You should get used to calling me father by now.” He put down the documents in Dio’s side table. “You’re officially an Armani starting today.”

“Dio Armani, huh? I almost forgot that I was Dio when I was in the northwest.” Dio looked outside the window where the sun rose.

“Would you like it if I included your first name?”

“It’s fine. I realized that the name Arkin is a proof that I’m a Romanov. Though it was Gramps who gave it to me, it was necessary to hide it for now.” Dio smiled. “I couldn’t bring you more trouble, right?”

“You’re not troublesome at all, son.” Royce patted Dio’s head before he left the room.
