Though you better not to or I get really upset since then I won't be able to participate in the battle for crown.

Or maybe archery since you were just shining in it." she said with mocking but friendly tone.
Zari had a soft blush on her cheeks when Eugene lifted her up. "Come on, I'm not a kid anymore. Or would a kid go and fight for the throne?" she smirked. It was nice to have someone on her side. Someone who felt like her father. Without thinking more than that, she just leaned closer to him closing her eyes.
