".. ..." The tea is too bitter for Lux. "I don't drink bitter tea." 

"Hmm." Alphonse snapped his fingers and a maid came in with sugar. "Go on."

"... Sure-" Lux huffed.

She does not know how this situation escalated to this-

Perhaps Alphonse is soft to little girls, maybe they remind him of his dead daughter. 

Alphonse glanced at her necklace, he feels a sense of Deja Vu. Her presence brings peace to his mind... ...

"Are you related to King of Light?" He asked as he sipped his tea. "Your divine power, awfully similar to his..." 

"Nope." Lux instantly replied.

Alphonse can sense people's emotions but for some reason he can't sense if Lux is telling the truth or not. Something's new after centuries.

"My question now." Lux put down the cup. "Are you the one who abused Merciless?" Lux asked. 

She already figured Alphonse is Merciless father, by looking at his eyes. It similar to Merciless, the difference was their eyes colours.

"Tch.. this that little rat snitch on me?" He scoffed. "Such boldness..."

"No he didn't. I took care of him and his bruises .. definitely sign of abuse." Lux frowns at him. "Tell me, your majesty. Why?" 

"Because I loathe him." He said in such disgusted. "He's good for nothing."

"Hmm... ... If you hate him that much, how about you give him to me?" Said Lux. "It won't be that bad, right? After all you won't see him anymore."

"No." Alphonse did not hesitate to say no.
